Golden Kamuy (2018–…): Season 3, Episode 2 - Stenka - full transcript

Hey, you there.

Hey. That was a good stenka you put on.

You're a big guy, to be Japanese.
I can tell even under all those clothes.

You a stenka fighter, too?

I'm Sugimoto Saichi.

My name is Gansoku Maiharu.

It's rare for a Japanese man
to offer a handshake.

Sugimoto-san, I'll see you again very soon.

There you are.

Who was that? What were you talking about?

Nothing.



(Golden Kamuy)

The story of the Japanese
soldiers spread quickly.

(Episode Twenty-Six Stenka)

He'll be at the stenka tonight.

He'll be at the stenka tonight.

Many will bet on you.

"If you lose deliberately, I can
win a lot of money," he says.

What about the deal to give back our dog?

You can have it back after
the fixed match is over.

Some Ainu have a punishment where they
slice off a person's nose or ears.

Do the Karafuto Ainu have that, Enonoka?

We cut off their fingertips!

He says he'll tell the man with
that tattoos that we're after him.

You picked the wrong guys
to play hardball with.



Listen up, everyone.

We'll go over the plan.

Sgt. Tsukishima, tell him, too.

First, we slice off one finger at
a time until he gives back the dog.

Then, when we're done burying
him in the back yard,

we go to the stenka and find
the man with the tattoos.

We don't do the stenka.

We kidnap the man and take him to
the forest, where we shoot him.

I've got information on the man
in the photo I haven't told you yet!

You've got more info on him?
You know where he is?

We start with the index finger.

Hold his hand, Tsukishima.

Wait. He may actually know something.

He's obviously lying so we don't kill him.

I agree.

Not a word he says can be trusted.

Getting caught up in more stenka bets
because of him is a waste of time and effort.

This isn't like you.

You're usually smarter than this.

I'm sorry, Enonoka-chan.

But...

If there's even the slightest chance
it'll lead us to Asirpa-san,

I can't waste that possibility.

We've been waiting for this!

I bet a lot of money on you, Japanese!

Win for me, soldiers!

The code tattoos!

What is Stenka to you?

A method of self-expression.

No different than expressing oneself
with dance, words, or painting.

I'll punch anyone with this fist.

The one way I always chose since I was a
child for others to know me was violence.

But nobody liked me...

The world didn't understand me.

I spent most of my life in prison.

But I enjoyed my time in prison.

The prisons were filled with violence.

Everyone rejoiced when I punched a guard.

And I met the most wonderful people...

Only Ushiyama-san had the strength
to stop me with bare hands.

Once you grab someone in judo, it's over.

As a reward, did they give
him a woman, perhaps?

Any time I was out of control, Warden Inudou
would send Ushiyama-san after me.

I was happy to get the chance to fight him.

Sometimes, when it was
just punching, I managed to beat him!

The moment I heard those cheers was
the moment I felt accepted by society!

It's that man from before!

Did you notice he was a tattooed prisoner?

You didn't say a word because you
wanted to face him in the stenka, right?

Then what about the fixed match?

Looks like you've no
intention at all of losing.

If you win, that small
possibility you had goes away.

We'll get back the dog and get
the information on Asirpa-san.

I've got a plan in my head
to make it at all work out.

So fight as hard as you can!

It's that talky Russian!

It doesn't make sense that he's not
at the stenka. He's one of them!

He's watching the dog.

Let's get it back on our own!

Ready!

Punch!

Tell me more about yourself, Sugimoto-san!

Yes! Yes! Yes!

Yes, Sugimoto-san!

Hey! Look at me!

Look at me! Look at me! Look at me!

Look at me! Look at me! Look at me!

Look at me!

You okay, Sugimoto?

I... I... I...

They all went down except for
the man with the tattoos!

Get 'em, Japanese!

Please, all four of you at once, attack me!

Bastard!

More! More!

More!

He's strong... He's too strong.

I... I...

Well? This is me.

That's cheating!

We bet money on you!

Sugimoto, what are you doing?

I get it, Sugimoto! This is your plan!

Calm down, Sugimoto!

Get him!

I'm Immortal Sugimoto!

This is real stenka!

There's more to stenka than
just watching a brawl!

This is the real thing!

I...

Sugimoto, this is really your plan, right?

Sugimoto?

The 7th Division...

Lieutenant Koito, this isn't a plan!

He just took too many hits to the head!

This is not stenka!

Gold...

You were only after my tattoos?

That's so mean!

The cat's out of the bag!

I thought we could understand each other!

The unfortunate monster, Gansoku...

Where'd the prisoner go?

There! Follow him!

What about Sugimoto, Sergeant Tsukishima?

He's dangerous, so leave him!

Just go after the prisoner!

They followed me all the way to Karafuto?

I can't stay here anymore.

Where'd he go?

Follow the footsteps!

It's too dark to see.

And it's cold.

Let me go!

That's him!

A wolverine's got him!

Lieutenant Tsukishima, do you have a gun?

Do I look like I do?

We have to help him, or it'll eat the tattoos!

Run! We can't beat that thing with stenka!

A shack!

Keep running! It'll catch up!

It's hot!

Why is it so hot?

This is a Russian steam bath!

A banya!

It's too hot!

We can't stay here long!

But the wolverine's outside!

What do we do?

Think, everyone!

It's hot! It's so hot!

It's so hot!

Banya!

(Golden Kamuy)

It's locked!

What do we do?

Shoot it with Tanigaki Nispa's gun.

No! It'll be too loud!

The wolverine's not going away.

Is there anything we can use as a weapon?

It's so hot...

We have to do something about Sugimoto, too.

We have to regroup here...

But it's so hot...

Hey, you!

Don't make steam!

It's so hot!

This is a venik. It's a
bunch of white birch leaves.

Ow! Ow!

Being struck with a venik
stimulates blood flow,

and by stirring up the air in
the room, it also makes it feel hotter!

Stop it! There's a wolverine outside!

You're here to kill me and
strip my tattoos, right?

Now, let's see who gives in and
runs out of the banya first!

I want you to all strike me at once!

Further left.

That's right! No! No!

There!

Go... No!

You!

Wait!

Yes!

I'm shooting, Enonoka.

More!

More! More!

What am I doing?

More! More!

This is all part of Sugimoto's plan, right?

I'm sure that it's not!

Hooray!

We got it back ourselves!

Sugimoto Nispa?

He's acting weird...

Don't stop!

He's gone crazy!

Go! Go!

Cikapasi!

Go away!

Ryu!

Tanigaki Nispa!

One shot! You've got one shot, so make it count!

Pull the trigger, Cikapasi!

Is this...

Is this... a boner?

Yes, Cikapasi!

This is a boner!

I want to finish things with you.

Sugimoto-san's fists contain rage.

But he should feel no anger toward me.

Should we help?

Help who?

We need to stop them.

We need Sugimoto to get Asirpa back.

We can't let him take any more hits!

Why do you feel such anger?

Who are you angry at?

What are you angry at?

As... Asirpa-san!

I...

I...

I...

I...

I'm useless!

Forgive yourself.

You're working so hard...

You're a mess now!

That's enough! Stop!

It's so cold!

It's so cold!

Back to the banya!

Tsukishima!

I didn't realize we were on the ice.

You killed a kuciri!

You were so cool!

Well, Tanigaki Nispa helped me.

Yup. You had your eyes closed.

So what was your plan, exactly?

I forget.

Shall we continue?

If you still want my tattoos.

I don't want to kill you.

But somebody will come after the tattoos.

You may be a great brawler,
but you can't beat a gun.

Let us copy the tattoos,
and we'll find the gold.

And then nobody else will want them anymore.

Leave Karafuto. Go as far west as you can.

Go to the other end of the continent
and nobody will follow you.

Pursue stenka in its birthplace, Russia.

I guess I'll have to find someone stronger.

Stop with the steam!

Oh, and that name Sugimoto-san was saying...

Was I saying something?

Asir...

You know Asirpa-san?

Yes, Asirpa.

An Ainu girl.

I remember that name because the man
she was with had tattoos, like me.

Shiraishi!

I followed him to the tavern
because I wondered what could've

brought him all the way to Karafuto.

What was she talking about?

Probably about you, Sugimoto-san.

I can't see him dying.

I said that, sure, but...

What?

If he didn't follow us up here, then maybe...

What are you saying, Shiraishi?

He's Immortal Sugimoto!

A wounded one went that way!

Sea lions go north of Karafuto
to breed in the summer,

and then head south to Hokkaido
for the winter at this time of year.

This one might've been doing just that.

We call them etaspe.

Their fatty meat is a delicacy. Try some.

You can't chew through it?
Maybe it was too thick.

Is it hinna?

It's very stinky.

I know I hit it in the head,
but it didn't go down.

It's like a bear. The bone
on the head is strong.

When you're fighting a tough one,
don't aim for the head.

Asirpa-chan, you ate too much fat.
