How many times do I have to tell him?
I bet their parents never taught them manners!
Who just came in that door?
Tsukishima-san? Maeyama-san?
I've told you a thousand times not to slam doors!
And what's more, you stink!
Go take a bath!
You're distracting me!
I can't work like this!
Both of you, apologize!
Apologize to Tsurumi-san.
I made him last night!
Now both of you, apologize.
Edogai-kun, don't waste your time on stuff like that. Do your job.
Apologize to Tsurumi-san!
Tsurumi-san!
Golden Kamuy
Edogai Taxidermist
They're finally done.
Perfect fake skins.
I started with six!
Tsurumi-san will be so happy!
He'll pat me on the head and tell me I did a good job!
Was that you, Maeyama-san?
How many times do I have to...
M-Maeyama-san?
Who is that?
They're coming!
Did they come to steal the skins?
Episode Fourteen Fakes
The smoke's splitting when it comes out of the smokestack!
That means somebody's going to die in the mines again!
Stop it!
Crap... Forgot my wallet.
Hey, wasn't that one of Lt. Tsurumi's troops?
Maybe... Not sure.
He must've come here because he heard rumors about a house with tattooed skins...
Let's follow him.
Should we go get Kiroranke and Asirpa-chan?
They're questioning people over there.
No, there's no time.
Let's go.
I need to escape.
But the only exit is the front door.
What do I do?
You gave me a rat as a present?
Tsukishima takes long baths. He won't be back for a while.
I've got time to make the taxidermist tell me what they're planning here.
Sir!
A white bear just went thataway...
I see. It's a scorcher out today, yeah.
What the hell is this?
Looks like the taxidermist kid is in love with Lt. Tsurumi.
Well, that's not good.
It gives Lt. Tsurumi too much of an advantage.
Shit. He got away!
You bastard!
You'll pay for what you did to Maeyama...
How could you kill your former comrade, Ogata?
Both of you are working against the government.
You're HQ's pet cat!
I know exactly what you want!
You want to offer rebels up to the government so you can get a promotion.
You want to sell out your friends so you can surpass your father,
who was the head of the 7th Division!
Friends, comrades?
You're good at using cheesy lines to trick young men, Lt. Tsurumi.
How many bullets do I have left?
Edogai, you alive?
A white bear just went thataway...
Was that him?
I need to give them to Tsurumi-san!
He went after Edogai?
I need to find him before Tsukishima...
Can we ignore the soldier who just ran out?
I want to know what's in this house.
Immortal Sugimoto...
Well, that's another problem to worry about.
Look, Sugimoto! A body!
That's suspicious! This might be the place!
What the hell is this?
You're Shiraishi Yoshitake, aren't you?
Hijikata Toshizou told me about you.
Should I make them stop Tsukishima for me?
Sugimoto!
Look at this!
I think Lt. Tsurumi was making fake skins here!
The soldier who just left must have stolen them!
We should chase him now!
Tsurumi-san! Tsurumi-san!
Did you see a white bear?
Tsurumi-san! Tsurumi-san! Tsurumi-san!
Edogai-kun!
Your luck ran out when you met the Grim Reaper named Lt. Tsurumi.
Get on, Edogai!
That's him!
Tsukishima-san, let's head into the tunnels and escape!
The tunnels all loop back on each other, and there are plenty of exits!
I'm going to get the fake skins I made to Tsurumi-san
and have him pat me on the head and lick me!
Tsurumi-san!
Immortal Sugimoto?!
Did he hear the rumors about the tattooed skins?
We can't let them get away!
If those fake skins get loose, there'll be chaos!
Ow!
Get lost!
Watch out!
Oh, no... They'll catch up to us!
Give me those skins!
Get lost!
Watch out, Shiraishi!
My pants are gonna split!
It's the guy who killed Maeyama-san!
That's Ogata.
Keep your head down or he'll shoot!
Hey!
Stop! Stop!
We lit the 'mite up!
Stop, or you'll be caught in the explosion!
Oh, no!
Were they yelling something?
Not sure.
Dynamite? That was close.
That scared me.
But now they can't follow us!
Let's escape out the other side of the mountain!
Shit.
Hey, do you smell something?
Like burning metal...
Firedamp!
The blast hit a gas pocket!
Run!
It's gonna blow!
Did something just blow up?
Let's just get out of here, Shiraishi!
What's this wind?
It's a returner!
There might be another, bigger blast!
Get out, now!
Golden Kamuy
Another gas explosion...
That was the biggest we've had for a long while.
The whole mountain shook.
That's terrible!
Edogai!
Where are you, Edogai? Are you still alive?
Tsukishima-san, I'm right here!
Over there?
I'll get you out now!
Tsukishima-san, run away.
The only way to keep the fire from spreading is to shut off the air.
So they'll seal all the exits,
even if there are still people inside.
Then we need to get you out!
A rock crushed my leg...
Take this to Tsurumi-san!
He was the first person who ever took me seriously.
And this was what he wanted in return.
Don't waste them, Tsukishima-san!
Right!
And one more thing....
There's one more thing I want you to tell him.
What is it? Tell me, Edogai!
Shiraishi! Wake up, Shiraishi!
Wake up, you useless idiot!
I feel so tired... Is it because of the gas?
I am Immortal Sugimoto!
I don't know where I'm going! That's not good.
Hey, not that way!
The air vent's this way! Come this way!
Why the hell...
Shiraishi, breathe!
I can't have you dying on me!
Shiraishi! Shiraishi!
Shit... not here...
Somebody's coming out!
Did someone just now make it out?
Wow! He saved two of them!
Hey, girl. We meet again.
Dick-sensei!
The fish cake! She's still got it!
What are you doing here?
I came with someone else to Yuubari, but they disappeared.
I was looking for them when I saw you on that mine cart.
Someone else?
Fine. Take them with us.
You were with Lt. Tsurumi!
Why are you with Ushiyama?
The fakes were probably made using these six bodies.
We know for a fact that the taxidermist is dead.
Sergeant Tsukishima is a tough soldier.
Until they pull his body out of the tunnels,
we have to assume there are six fake skins in circulation out there.
We need to find a way to tell if the one he left behind is fake or real.
Old man, have we met?
Shit!
No, don't be silly!
This is Hijikata Toshizou!
Hijikata...
It's been a long time, Shiraishi Yoshitake.
Will you introduce me to your friend?
What's the plan if he finds out, you senile old geezer?!
Will Sugimoto kill me if he finds out I've been passing them information?
There was something I wanted to ask you if we met.
There's something that Nopperabo must've told you and nobody else.
Either he trusted you to a degree,
or you both shared some great goal. I don't know which.
But did he propose that you give weapons to the Ainu and start a war of independence?
Is Nopperabo really an Ainu?
You've gotten that far, huh?
Is your plan to get one up on Nopperabo and rebuild the Republic of Ezo,
Hijikata Toshizou-san?
My father is—
Do we work together,
or do we kill each other here?
Choose.
Hijikata just cut that girl's words off.
"My father"?
Is that girl Nopperabo's daughter?
If you have tattooed skins, we'll buy them from you.
Nagakura Shinpachi is here, too!
We won't ask you to help us.
Just sell us the skins, and use the money to go home, find a wife, and live in peace.
Or is that too boring a life for a young man?
I need to meet Nopperabo and find some answers.
Until then, I can't have you finding the gold.
What the hell is with that rumbling?
Shall I make something for you?
Ienaga's alive!
Why not discuss the rest over a meal?
This is nanko stew.
It's a local dish made in the Sorachi area, which includes Yuubari.
An offal stew made from boiling intestines in miso.
Hey, Ienaga. This meat's safe to eat, right?
Don't worry!
Nanko means "horse intestine" in the local dialect.
Horse, eh?
I don't know how all you guys manage to work together.
Especially the guy who used to work for Lt. Tsurumi.
Somebody who's a traitor once will betray you again.
Sugimoto, you almost killed me, but I'm not the type to hold a grudge.
That hurt me, though.
No fighting during lunch.
Our priority right now is finding a way to tell which ones are the fakes.
Otaru
I have returned.
The highest ambition of an artist is to leave his work behind for the world to enjoy.
Especially if it's something that will change the world,
they could ask for no more.
Edogai's last words were a message for you.
What is it?
Iron! Tell him "Iron"!
"Iron"?
Tsurumi-san... He'll be able to figure it out just from that!
Well done.
Get some rest, Tsukishima.
Yes, sir.
Iron... Iron...
Edogai had an obsession with tannin.
It's a way of tanning that takes a lot of extra effort,
that no one else would ever use.
He shared that with me and no one else.
Tsurumi-san, when these gloves get wet, be careful!
If they touch a certain thing, they'll turn black!
The tannin gets absorbed into the water and then reacts with the iron.
Edogai-kun's last words were telling me how to detect the fakes.
He sacrificed his life to give me five fake skins.
And I'll make good use of them!
