Private Usami and Warrant Officer Kikuta are already in Sapporo, right?
We're to meet them at the clock tower.
Lt. Tsurumi may arrive tomorrow as well.
Can you act like as you usually do around him?
What about you?
Second Lieutenant Koito
If you're that worried, then let's exchange our personal menko pieces
and carry them at all times.
I never made one.
We'll split into groups of three
and deploy ourselves around the factory, then wait for the killer.
One to pretend to be a streetwalker as a decoy.
One to protect the decoy and defeat the killer.
And one to tell the other groups the killer has appeared.
Use these fireworks to signal the others.
They're small, but they can be seen from the other side of the factory.
We'll all rush to the scene and secure the skin.
Once we've confirmed the killer is an escaped prisoner,
his life or death is irrelevant.
Hijikata Group
Sugimoto Group
Ushiyama Group
Toni Group
Decoy
Signaler
Kantarou, Shiraishi, Kadokura, and the pirate will be the prostitutes.
Nagakura, Asirpa, Kirawus, and Ariko will be the signalers.
Defender
Hijikata, Sugimoto, Ushiyama, and Toni Anji will be the defenders.
With these guys trying to take him down, is it even worth alerting the others?
Ideally, he goes down quickly.
But it's possible that something unexpected may happen and he may escape.
First, we'll split up to remove the real streetwalkers from the area.
Golden Kamuy
Episode Fifty-One: Send Up The Fireworks
Hey, Sugimoto, isn't it dangerous to have Asirpa-chan join in the operation?
If something happens to her, we'll never be able to crack the code.
It's safer to have her with us.
Hijikata's betrayed before.
And if you betray once, you'll do it again and again.
I won't leave Sugimoto's side.
I'm his partner...
And I can't just stay where it's safe.
The whole point of this gold is to protect the Ainu's future.
Is your dream to protect the future Ainu?
Someone has to do it.
I've decided that someone is me.
Will that make you happy?
You're obnoxious.
You keep asking people about their dreams.
I'm looking for inspiration.
If there's a better way than becoming a king and having a huge family,
I'll change course to that.
When I was all alone, I realized that if I died,
then the memories of my grandmother and parents and brothers
would vanish from this world, and it made me so sad.
It felt like that if my children could tell their children about me,
and there would always be someone to pass my name down to future generations,
it would make me happy.
Miss, you should get away from here.
Huh? Why?
I heard there was a tanuki hunt scheduled for the area around the beer factory.
Is Sugimoto Saichi in the future you see?
Where's Private Usami?
Probably off playing cum detective.
Playing what detective?
Usami's gone on ahead.
He got information from a reporter on where
the next murder will take place tonight.
But the reporter escaped, so the police may be there as well.
We can't wait for Lieutenant Tsurumi to arrive.
We'll capture the killer ourselves.
Asirpa-san, stay in the dark where moonlight doesn't reach.
Ogata must be out there somewhere looking for you.
Hijikata said that even after Ogata returned from Karafuto,
he was still after the gold.
Would he still shoot me?
I don't know.
Since we joined Hijikata, Ogata can't come back here.
And he obviously can't go back to Lieutenant Tsurumi.
He's all alone.
He may decide that if he can't have the gold, he'll just
kill you and ruin everything.
He wants to kill me and ruin everything? Disappoint everyone?
Is that really all?
People like you shouldn't exist.
He looks just like the last prostitute I fucked.
That woman's way too big.
Maybe Ariko would've been a better choice.
There he is.
You're young, aren't you?
I can tell by your ass...
You've got a nice ass!
Konbanwa.
A foreigner?
The man called himself Michael Ostrog.
Probably a fake name. Not sure what country he's from.
He smuggled himself in on a trading ship
and was arrested for murdering prostitutes in Yokohama.
He became the first foreigner to get the death penalty in Japan
and was imprisoned in Abashiri.
Looking at this map, I realized something.
Is the killer really just copying the crimes that took place in London?
The London killings took place roughly twenty years ago.
If we assume Jack the Ripper was in his 30s then...
And he's still alive after disappearing, then he's in his fifties!
Around the same age as Michael Ostrog.
Could he be the real...
Perhaps Jack the Ripper remembered his time in faraway London,
and tried to recreate his former crimes?
To make his own holy land in Sapporo.
Excuse me.
This is the Sapporo beer factory, right?
Can you look at this map for me?
This circle is where I'm at right now, I assume.
Does the beer factory go all the way to the other side?
What the hell is Usami doing here?
I don't have enough sperm to cover this whole area.
What the hell is he saying?!
He may be crazier than Jack the Ripper!
That's the 7th Division!
Is he alone?
Is that the killer?
Kadokura knows what the killer looks like.
If it was him he'd give a signal.
Hey!
Are you all right?
It's dark. You need to be careful...
Chief Warden Kadokura! Incredible!
You're alive!
And now you're a male prostitute... How sad!
Oh, Hijikata Toshizou is here, too?
Konbanwa.
I forgive you.
Who accidentally launched their fireworks?!
Festival time, is it?
Golden Kamuy
That's the fireworks! It's where Ushiyama's team is!
Hijikata
Toni
Sugimoto
Ushiyama
Hurry!
We can't count on Kadokura and Kirawus!
They might let the killer escape!
He's a monster.
Hey, Kadokura! This isn't Jack the Ripper, right?
He works for Lieutenant Tsurumi!
Kill him!
Get away, Private Usami!
No one shoot! You'll hit Usami!
I'll use my sword!
It's Ushiyama! Stay away! He's strong!
Lt. Koito, dodge!
He ran inside the factory!
Tsukishima, run to the back and head inside from there!
Warden Kadokura! Wait a moment, please!
Why?
Nagakura! Send up the fireworks to tell them of the mistake!
What's going on?
The killer ran that way?
I heard Hijikata-san's gun fire.
Let's split into two.
I've found you, my wildcat.
How are you looking, Kantarou?
He just got me above the eye.
An honorable wound for a man.
Follow me.
Okay!
Sugimoto Nispa!
Where are Ushiyama and the others?
In the factory!
Got it!
Let's go!
There are five soldiers in there!
Sugimoto, wait!
It's the 7th... Huh?
Where'd he go?
Sugimoto, we got separated from Shiraishi.
Shiraishi?
Sugimoto!
Beer?!
Stop! You'll hit Asirpa!
Sugimoto!
Calm down, Nikaido!
Sugimoto!
What?
What... a refreshing... flavor.
Swugwi...motwo...
Come and get me!
I'm... the Immortal... Sugimot...
Owie...
Sugimoto, where are you?
I got Asirpa!
Stay put! Don't struggle!
Put me down.
This one's got poison on it.
This poison is made from wolfsbane taken from
Surktauspet in the deep woods of Kenbuchi.
It'll kill a human instantly.
Get further back. This arrow can easily reach your face.
Asirpa, don't you want to know why the seven Ainu were killed?
Why would you know that?
At the time, I was investigating the murder scene in Tomakomai.
We were the ones who recovered their bodies and belongings.
Asirpa?
Usami found her, too.
Ask Lt. Tsurumi. He'll tell you what happened to your father.
Isn't that something you want to know,
more than you want to know the whereabouts of the gold?
She'll end up in Lieutenant Tsurumi's possession.
I missed...
A skilled sniper.
Hijikata-san! Where's the killer?
He ran inside the factory.
I heard gunfire coming from Ushiyama's direction.
It was rifles, the ones used by soldiers.
There's another fight happening that way.
We'll get Jack and leave fast.
He's injured.
Follow the bloodstains.
The firing pin got hit...
Is Usami's Type 38 still out there?
If I hadn't jumped back from being startled, I would've been hit.
Did they save me?
No, they're not that nice.
Are you getting in my way, evil spirit?
I'll kill you, Sugimoto!
Give me your limbs!
Shut up, asshole!
I'm... immortal!
I don't have time... to waste on you!
I need to find Jack!
Let me go, damn it!
Die, Sugimoto!
My Type 30!
Okay, now I can kill Jack the Ripper.
Where'd you go, Asirpa-san? Asirpa-san?
What could you learn from the bodies of the Ainu?
It's obviously a lie to lure me into going with you.
That stuff about you finding the murder scene is a lie, isn't it?
Have you ever seen the Ainu gold?
It seems you know...
We found a few coins in their things.
Only the first to find the scene would know what it looks like.
It'd be stolen immediately, right?
Those gold coins were what made us sure the Ainu gold was real.
Lieutenant Tsurumi said they were coins, made from
the gold dust gathered by the Ainu.
And I realized when I saw the tattooed skins.
The pattern on the coins... Nopperabo made them.
Lieutenant Tsurumi knows more.
Now follow me, Asirpa.
I'll tell you if your father really did kill the Ainu.
I choose the future of the Ainu that Aca entrusted me with
over clearing Aca's name!
If you don't give up the gold everyone will die!
Do you really understand that, Asirpa?
You're back to talking about that?!
Run, miss!
You're the one we can least afford to lose!
Wait, Asirpa!
Warden Kadokura...
You... manslut!
Whoa!
Tricky little girl.
Warden Kadokura, wait!
Why am I the only one he chases?
Damn it! He tricked me!
It was a fake wildcat.
You blew your chances.
You won't get that many.
Speedy little cat.
At 10 o'clock, there's something in the darkness.
Doesn't seem like a rat.
Blood. From the look of the stains, he's moving deeper inside.
He won't be able to escape these guys.
