Golden Kamuy (2018–…): Season 4, Episode 3 - The Smell of Sulfur - full transcript
JIGOKUDANI ("HELL VALLEY")
NOBORIBETSU CITY
OTARU - NOBORIBETSU
ASAHIKAWA - ABASHIRI
Noboribetsu was known as the largest
hot spring region at the time.
The springs of this region were known
for their healing properties.
After the First Sino-Japanese War
and Russo-Japanese War,
this region was designated
a recuperative facility for 7th division.
FAMOUS NOBORIBETSU HOT SPRING
"THE WATERFALL BATH"
-This hits the spot.
-They're switching!
Private First Class Nikaidou
and Superior Private Usami.
Did you arrive today?
Sergeant Major Kikuta, sir.
How is your injury?
I see, Lieutenant Tsurumi
sent you here to check my condition.
He must really be hoping to rely on me
when I can rejoin the fray.
By the way, have you heard
Private Ariko's peculiar story?
What's that?
Last night, while hiking up to a spring
in the mountains, he saw a strange man.
He ran off into the snowy darkness,
with no lantern, wearing wooden sandals.
Isn't that bizarre?
My balls are gonna switch places!
EPISODE 39 - THE SMELL OF SULFUR
A man who wears wooden sandals
in the snow-covered mountains at night?
There are such things
as snow sandals, though.
Perhaps his eyes had adjusted to the dark
by the time he ran off.
Nothing about it sounds that peculiar.
Can't you see that I'm busy?
You can ask Ariko yourself.
Right, Private Ariko?
I'm certain I heard sandals clanking,
but the tracks in the snow weren't
sandal tracks.
The tracks were from straw-woven boots.
What do you find so suspicious?
There were other details, Ariko.
I also couldn't help
but notice his clothes.
His garment had the strangest pattern.
Like what?
I couldn't see it that well.
I don't know how to describe it.
You all have been here goofing off
ever since the war ended.
It's made you stupid.
Don't be so rude, Nikaidou.
Anyhow, Private Ariko, why did you
go so deep in the mountains?
There's a secret spring
only the Ainu know about.
-Are you Ainu?
-I am.
Perhaps this man you saw is also Ainu.
The strange garment you speak of
sounds like an Ainu pattern.
I'd recognize an Ainu garment.
For some reason, I can't stop
thinking about his story.
Am I being paranoid?
Any thoughts, Anma?
An unusual Ainu-patterned garment?
Sorry, but no. If I see anything like it,
I'll let you know.
If you could!
What? Unbelievable! How?
I'm begging you, Nikaidou.
Just tell me.
What do the Abashiri convicts' tattoos
look like?
I've never seen one.
Let's go grab a bite to eat.
Ariko, did anyone else see
this suspicious man?
Go ask the the people in your village.
Roger.
We're lagging behind Usami and his men.
They think they're better than us.
It'd be nice to have
something of value to offer
when we rejoin Lieutenant Tsurumi.
Are you going back to Abashiri
with Private Ariko?
No, Lieutenant Tsurumi
will be leaving Abashiri soon.
We'll rendezvous along the way.
Wonder what he plans on doing with
the fortune-teller and cannibal geezer.
Do you think he'll bring them along?
That's none of our concern.
Hey, can you stop being so rough?
Massage me gently.
You've been hurting me this whole time.
You're the worst masseur.
Oh, I'm terribly sorry.
The two that came here recently,
they're from Lieutenant Tsurumi's corps.
They're an invaluable source
of information.
We must eliminate Ariko and Kikuta
before they catch on
to our true purpose here.
We should lie in wait
until the next new moon.
The moon lights up the night
more than usual in the winter.
We have no time to waste.
If we can't stay here anymore,
we'll no longer be able to relay intel
about the 7th to Hijikata Toshizou.
Toni, Ariko spotted you in the mountains.
This is your fault.
The hot springs in the depths
of the mountains of Noboribetsu
are today called Karurusu Hot Springs.
The Ainu in the region
called this spring Penke-yu.
I wonder if the man in sandals
will show up tonight as well.
Have you seen a man wearing a garment
with strange patterns near Penke-yu?
He appears after sundown.
The clank of sandals.
The pattern wasn't on a garment.
Those were his tattoos.
He must be the man Ariko saw.
Although he has a lit lantern.
You there! Take off your robe slowly
and show me your skin.
Can he see me?
I lit the lantern so nobody's eyes
would adjust to the darkness!
Tsk, we've got company.
I can see every single one of you.
There's a theory that says
that pirates wore eye patches
to allow their eyes to adjust
to the darkness below decks.
Sergeant Major Kikuta had worn
an eye patch on his left eye
in anticipation of nighttime combat.
His eyes were completely adjusted
to the dark!
Retreat, dumbasses! You've been spotted!
Damn, this is why I wanted
to wait until the new moon!
This is a problem.
Go, go! Down to the valley!
You're going nowhere.
I can't see a thing.
I'm sick of the smell of sulfur.
Once we get our share of the treasure,
let's move to the beach.
Caught him!
He's dead!
That came from the direction
of Jigokudani.
You've done it now. How dare you
mess with my precious collection.
During the Russo-Japanese War,
Sergeant Major Kikuta
was obsessed with stealing guns
from the Russian soldiers he killed.
He especially coveted the Nagant M1895,
so much so that he ordered
his men to search any bodies for it.
Please don't shoot.
It's me.
His allies are closing in!
We're screwed!
He ran towards higher ground.
Sergeant Major Kikuta.
Is that you, Ariko?
What I saw that night were tattoos.
We'll chase them. Follow me.
By the way, Usami, your timing
couldn't have been more perfect.
You and Nikaidou were staking out
by the Ainu springs, weren't you.
You two pieced it together
when you heard Ariko's story.
You were trying to outsmart us.
We've been caught.
Why did the tattooed prisoners
risk themselves
by infiltrating the 7th's hot spring base?
Wait, I know this guy.
He's the masseur.
His tracks lead into this cave.
It's an old tunnel.
I went in here when I was a child.
Any other way out?
There are a couple
if they haven't caved in.
They must be deeper inside.
Do not light matches.
That'll make us easy targets.
I can't see a thing.
What's this?
Something is protruding from the ground.
One careless move,
and they'll know exactly where we are.
Icicles which form on the ground
when water drips from the ceiling
down to the ground
are known as ice stalagmites.
This is a rare phenomenon,
even in the harsh Hokkaido winter.
Shoe's on the other foot, now.
So this prisoner has
an acute sense of hearing.
He takes his aim using the crunching
sound of the icicles.
I didn't even notice these icicles
when I was a kid.
With some rolled-up birch bark,
I'd be able to track him
while evading his shots.
But lighting a huge light here
just makes me a perfect target.
Bastard!
He's advancing quickly,
but I hear no cracking ice.
How is he able to move in this darkness
without shattering the icicles?
Even in the volcanic gas of Jigokudani,
they could still fight.
A torch?
If it isn't the masseur.
So you really couldn't see.
He knows now. I'm screwed again!
The masseur.
Our foe can accurately tell
his surroundings through sounds.
There must be come sort of a trick
using the sound of that sandal,
but, whatever.
He got out.
Sergeant Major Kikuta!
I got shot in the leg!
Please don't leave me behind!
It's dark in here!
What a pain in the ass.
I can take care of him by myself.
I have an idea.
Hunting is best done alone and quietly.
All right. Just don't lose him.
I need to reload.
Will Ariko be all right by himself?
Shut up. Like you're one to talk.
Ariko was one of the rescue crew from
the Hakkoda Mountain mission, you know.
The Hakkoda Mountains incident.
Two years before the Russo-Japanese war,
the fifth infantry regiment
stationed in Aomori
was sent on a march in the snow
as part of winter training.
199 soldiers died.
One of the strangest disasters in history.
So he's one of the Ainu specifically
recruited from Hokkaido for that mission?
The Ainu search party walked
through the frigid river of ice
and swiftly over deep snow banks
as if it were flat ground.
They retrieved the bodies one by one.
Even the local skeptics
were left speechless.
Besides that, Noboribetsu is
like his backyard.
No one can outrun Rikimatsu Ariko
in these mountains.
That snapping of a branch
sounded a little too intentional.
Where is this sound coming from?
I get it now.
He led me here on purpose.
He knew exactly
where this is likely to occur.
I've lost.
FOUR DAYS LATER
Where's Sergeant Major Kikuta?
He went to the mountains
to look for him again.
But he's been gone for four whole days.
Private Ariko has got to be dead.
Did you wire Lieutenant Tsurumi?
I did. Lieutenant Tsurumi
will come to Noboribetsu.
Ariko is dead, my leg is injured,
and we let that prisoner escape.
We're gonna get chewed out again!
Ipopte.
Hey, Ariko.
You could've let us know you were okay.
We were worried sick.
I've been anticipating your arrival.
KO - BOU - RO - SATO
KA - KO - YATSU
Why did you skin him?
Explain yourself, Ariko.
While inspecting the tattoos
on the corpse,
I realized that they ended abruptly
along his midsagittal line.
Midsagittal line?
The prisoners' tattoos
are meant to be skinned
in the same manner as a hunted animal.
I understand.
I found him deep in the mountains.
Carrying a corpse down a mountain
is quite cumbersome,
so I skinned him where I found him.
I was also afraid that Private Usami
would try to take credit.
I decided to hide in the village
until you came looking for me.
And his gun?
I thought you'd ask and searched for it,
but it got buried in the avalanche.
The only trophies are his skin and this.
Excellent, Ariko.
All thanks to your impeccable judgment.
We couldn't have fetched
a better gift for Lieutenant Tsurumi.
Now, we can make up for lost time.
What're you making, granny?
If you're cooking up snacks
to go with the drinks, I'd love one.
Rice soaked in water?
What're you gonna do with that?
It's unknown whether this is
a traditional Karafuto Ainu dish or not.
However, there are witness accounts
of "grandma's pre-chewed dumplings."
Her grandchildren just said,
"Whatever it was, it was very delicious."
It reminds me of kiritanpo in Akita,
where they take leftover rice,
mash it, and cook it.
Hey granny, I want more of your dumplings!
Pirka, pirka.
Granny, can you make more? Please?
Pirka, pirka.
Grandma, I can't wait another minute!
Give it to me straight!
You guys are disgusting.
-Tsukishima.
-Yes?
What does "barchonok" mean in Russian?
Barchonok?
It's a word used to mock little boys
from rich families.
In other words,
"silver spoon."
Where'd you hear that term?
