Episode 49
When you left to go to Tokyo at age 16 how many hours did it take on the train?
I don't remember exactly...
Oshin and Kei left Yamagata as if in pursuit
of her memories of her escape to Tokyo.
You had a one-way ticket with no money for return fare.
What would you have done if things didn't work out?
I just wanted to escape from being sold as a hostess.
I didn't care if I starved to death in Tokyo.
I believed in what Haru had told me.
I figured I would make it somehow in Tokyo.
People from all over were there chasing their dreams.
But you were only 16 and all by yourself!
Okayo went to Tokyo with similar ideas too.
You knew where she was?
No but I felt better knowing she was there.
She was with Kota right? So she wasn't alone.
You arrived at Ueno Station?
We're taking the same route but the scenery's all changed.
I haven't been here at Ueno Station in ages!
The hairdresser's shop was in Asakusa?
That's close by but we can take a taxi.
I can walk.
I want to walk!
Back then I had to ask people for directions.
It brings back memories.
Oshin was in the crowds lost in her memories of
how she'd come here all alone at age 16.
Welcome!
There sure are pretty people here in Tokyo.
Welcome!
You came to get your hair done?
No.
If you're not a customer please leave.
I came to see the owner.
What do you want with her?
I want to get a job here.
Too bad we don't need anyone now.
Please leave. You're in the way!
- The owner... - She's not here now.
We're not the only hairdresser so go look elsewhere!
Go clean up inside.
- Thank you. - Please come again.
How long are you going to stand there?
If you persist I'll call the police!
We get so many girls like her.
They all want to come to Tokyo.
They think they can just show up and get a job!
They're so pushy!
Are you the owner here?
- Are you? - Who are you?
I'm Tanimura Haru's little sister.
I was told to come see Hasegawa Taka.
I was told I could learn to do hair.
Do you know about this?
My sister worked at a textile factory in Yamagata.
She gave me your address.
You're not the first one to come looking for work.
Sorry but we're not hiring now.
You can go to Keian an employment agent.
- They'll find you a job. - I want to work here!
We are overstaffed so go to Keian and see.
You have a guest waiting!
I'm sorry about that.
Ma'am!
Can't you understand?
We don't hire people without proper introduction.
We get too many dishonest people that come here.
Our owner's nice but she knows better.
Go to Keian!
Our owner says you can have this for train fare.
So please leave.
I didn't come here for handouts!
Don't be ungrateful!
In any case you can't just stand out here!
Did you make the hot water?
Thief!
What are you doing here?
I'm making the fire to boil you some water.
I thought you left!
- Go and get the police. - Stop all this noise.
She's acting like a thief!
I just wanted to help because you all seemed busy.
Mind your own business.
It's your fault for letting the fire go out!
I thought it was still lit.
You have to keep feeding the fire.
It's beginning to boil.
Let me help you with that too.
Stop that!
Don't keep our customers waiting!
Get back to work.
Please let me stay. I'll do anything.
I came out from Yamagata to learn hairdressing from you!
My sister Haru was supposed to come but she died so I'm here in her place.
I'm following Haru's last words!
I'll work hard. I'm doing it for Haru.
Her dream was to be a hairdresser.
I'll do anything in order to realize her dream!
The fire's going out again.
I don't want to have to tell you to do everything!
- I'll get you more hot tea. - Thank you.
Let me do that.
- Here you are. - Thank you.
This is good tea!
You make good tea.
Thanks. She's a good worker.
I never got service like this before.
Thank you very much.
Thank you so much!
Go and have lunch.
I'm hungry.
Let's eat.
- Go change the towels. - Okay.
I'll wash these.
Take your lunch now.
Let's eat.
We only have takuan pickles but we have plenty of rice.
Eat your fill.
Thank you. But I'm not a real employee yet.
Hurry up and eat or you'll miss your chance.
Yes I will. Thank you! I haven't eaten since last night.
May I stay?
Thanks to Avallac'h and XrayMind at D-Addicts.
