Episode 6
Kei followed Oshin to the Mogami River.
Seeing the intent way in which she stared into the flowing water
Kei was at a loss for words.
This river must hold painful memories for her.
These memories won't fade away in time.
Kei wanted to comfort her without words.
I got one!
I did get it didn't I?
It's mine I caught it!
This is mine!
- It was my pole! - I caught it it's mine!
What are you doing?
I caught it so it's mine!
My grandma's sick I want her to have it.
Give it to me!
You're just a girl!
You fool!
You could've died in the freezing river!
You should be more careful.
I wanted grandma to have the fish.
Did you go fishing?
She's sick and isn't eating I thought she might eat the fish.
You shouldn't be fishing with boys anyway.
- I feel sorry for grandma! - Oshin!
- I caught one but... - Never mind...
You can help me make lunch.
Grandma please eat or Oshin will worry more!
I don't work so I'm not hungry.
Give Oshin my share.
You've been working all day.
You should eat too! Or you'll get sick.
You're with child!
The lunch will be ready soon. Let's go.
Don't go fishing I don't like fish.
You must be hungry Go on and eat.
This is mine please eat it.
Oshin...
I feel relieved.
I thought you weren't eating because you're sick.
You do enough work.
Your needlework and you've done more than your share in the past.
I know that!
So please eat. Nobody's here to watch you eat.
Oshin...
Mother! You're still here?
Try to understand how Oshin feels.
There's enough for you to eat.
Grandma...
Grandma's been skipping two meals per day
so that you don't have to go away to work.
Grandma I won't let Oshin go to work!
Grandma!
I'll talk to my husband.
I'm useless...
And I can't even die!
I'm worthless...
But Oshin's just getting started.
Don't worry about me.
I want her to eat.
You... You foolish grandma!
Don't say such things!
Oshin...
Don't worry I'll make sure grandma's taken care of.
I'll look after her!
Oshin realized for the first time that is she ate her fill
her grandmother would have to do without.
It made me so sad.
We never had enough to feed the whole family.
Those who couldn't work had to feel badly about eating.
I knew then why my sisters had to go to work.
It's terrible.
Old people getting hungry because they can't work anymore.
That's like abandoning them to die!
Grandma felt badly but my mother felt worse.
It was as if I was looking through the window into hell.
It was just over there...
Just about this time of the year.
I went looking for my mother because she was late coming home.
I saw someone going into the water...
Mother...
Mother!
Mother! Mother!
Don't worry I'm all right! Don't tell anybody!
Mother! Mother! Mother!
Help mother's going to die!
Mother's in the river she's going to die!
Mother! Mother!
Fuji!
Leave me alone...
Come on up here! Don't be foolish!
Get out of the water!
Mother!
- You fool! - Let me go!
Stop that!
You'll hurt yourself more than the baby!
Leave me alone!
What do you think you're doing?
Hurry up and get warm!
What a stupid thing to do!
What's stupid?
Women have it hard!
A man would never understand!
Are you still cold?
I'm sorry.
Never mind.
It's because of me that you have to go and do so such a thing.
It's not your fault.
I just don't want my baby born into a life like this.
The baby shouldn't be born.
Fuji...
It's best for the other children too.
Mother...
I'm sorry to worry you. I'm all right.
I'll go to work.
Oshin!
What are you saying?
No I don't want you to you!
I've decided.
I'll go tomorrow.
Oshin!
Please don't ever do what you did again!
Oshin you...
If I go grandma will get to eat
and the baby will get to be born.
Oshin it's not for you to worry about.
I'll get to eat a lot at my workplace.
Isn't that so?
Oshin...
I thought you wanted to go to school?
At work you'll have to babysit all day.
And you'll never get any learning.
Just go for one year.
Bear it for just one year.
Once we get our harvest in we'll be better off.
Next year after the snow melts I will come and get you.
Father...
Thanks for agreeing to go.
Don't go I can go another year without eating.
Don't worry. A year will pass quickly.
You say that because you don't know what it's like having to work for another family!
My two sisters work I can do the same.
Oshin...
Don't worry grandma.
I know how cold that river can be I fell in!
I'm glad you didn't die.
There you are Oshin. Isn't anybody home?
My parents are working and grandma went up into the hills.
Then I'll just put this rice down here.
This is rice.
Rice? What for?
It's payment for you going to work.
It's for one year of work so you'll have to work hard!
I'll talk to your father.
Be ready to be picked up tomorrow.
She agreed to go to work yet she was unable to make up her mind.
Oshin didn't really want to go.
When she realized that she was to go in exchange for a single bale of rice
there was no turning back.
She'll go with a smile the following day.
She knew that crying wouldn't do any good.
