Episode 3
Good morning!
Nobody knew where Oshin was or why she'd left...
But Kei had found her here in the mountains of Yamagata.
You must be cold go and take a bath.
The hot spring here will warm you up.
Here's your yukata and padded tanzen.
Use this towel here.
No I don't want you to take off on me while I'm in the bath.
Then I'd never find you again!
You haven't eaten yet have you? I'll go order you some food.
Sit down!
Don't try to run away from me!
How did you manage to find me?
I thought that nobody would know.
I know all about you!
I remember...
I once told you about this place.
You haven't gone senile yet...
That kokeshi doll... I'd never told anyone else.
You'd asked me about it.
You were the only one to ask about it.
I was curious as to why you were so attached to it.
You're a strange boy...
You told me that you and your mother had
stayed at the inn here at Ginzan Onsen.
And that she bought that kokeshi here.
You also said that you wanted to visit here once again before you passed on.
You seemed so moved when telling me about it.
That name Ginzan Onsen stayed with me...
I took a chance in coming here.
I guess my hunches aren't that bad.
But I couldn't believe it when I saw you standing on that bridge!
You didn't have to come out all this way.
Listen to you!
You're 83 and ran away from home!
Everybody's so worried.
Nobody's really worried.
The business won't fail just because I'm gone.
They're probably glad to be rid of me!
Oh come on. You caused a big commotion!
Because the Vice President didn't show up for
the grand opening of the new store?
I guess one gets to think like that in your old age.
I know what's good for me.
Does everybody know where I am?
No.
I didn't want to make a fool of myself if you weren't here.
I'd better call and tell them.
Oh no you don't!
But...
You must be hungry... Just relax!
I had two box lunches on the train.
You can't keep your whereabouts a secret.
I would've called once I settled in.
- Here then. - I'll call them later.
Grandma.
All right... You call them.
Tell them I might be gone awhile but not to worry.
What do you mean by that?
I have many places I want to visit.
Where?
And what for?
None of your business!
It is my business And think about your age.
I have my reasons.
Then tell them!
There's no use telling people... It's all personal anyway.
Excuse me.
Is this your grandson? What a fine young man!
You must be so proud of him. Will he be staying on with you?
Stay the night and go home tomorrow.
He'll be leaving us?
- Did you get me the car? - It'll be here shortly.
Thank you. I'll be right there.
He'll be staying here. Please take good care of him.
All right.
You're going out?
I'll leave it to you to call home for me.
No way!
- Let me come with you! - I'll be back.
You were on the train all night you're tired.
Wait!
Sit down.
And let's call home now!
I should never have told you that story...
I'd never told anyone else before...
It's too late for that now.
It's me... Kei.
- Is father there? - You're calling Nozomi?
I don't want to call the main house.
Father can get the word out to them.
Father? I'm at...
Don't tell him where I am.
I found grandma.
Talk to him.
You said you would do all the talking.
No she won't come to the phone.
Sure she's perfectly fine.
No... I can't say where we are.
He asks why you ran away.
No comment. She won't even tell me.
The taxi's here.
No it's just my hunch. There's no time to talk now.
I'm just calling to tell you she's all right.
I'll try to convince her to come home.
Don't worry I'll stick to her like glue!
I'll find out why she ran away.
Good luck!
I'll call you later!
You can't leave without me!
Let's go.
You got a call?
I wasn't there to get your message.
I'm glad you're so busy.
There's a knitting exhibition.
Some of my yarn shop customers are entered in it.
Kei really found mother?
- Yes. - Where?
He's not allowed to tell us.
- What's going on? - Who cares?
It's fine as long as she's all right.
I guess so I'm glad Kei is there with her.
I wonder... How did he find her?
You knew too! That's why you let him go.
No... He asked me for money
and he's not one to just spend money needlessly.
It took Kei to find her.
He's not related to her by blood but she liked him the best.
And he seems to know her best...
Mother's got him to contend with now.
It defeats the purpose of running away.
That means she'll be coming home!
But there's bound to be trouble once she does come home.
She knows what she's doing.
It was her decision to run away
but I hate to think of the flak we'll take.
Kei will be scolded too!
Brother resents the fact that his girls are less bright.
Kei got into an elite college in Tokyo!
Hatsuko!
Hitoshi Tei and you and me...
We all grew up eating out of the same rice pot.
Let's never forget that!
I miss those days...
We were like real brothers and sisters...
Why did Kei call?
And he only called Nozomi!
Both mother and Kei are acting strange.
Why didn't he call you?
Why did he go find her by himself?
Why didn't he tell us where she is?
Maybe mother told him to join her. He's her favorite!
They could at least tell us where they are!
What are those two thinking about?
Never mind she doesn't have much time left.
Let her enjoy herself!
With Kei there with her I feel much better.
Maybe you're satisfied but I'm not!
She ran away from my house! People think I drove her out.
- Why else would she leave? - Tei!
Not just you...
My husband thinks so too.
Yes it's all my fault.
If she hates me so much she can stay away for good!
She can go live with Tei Nozomi or Hatsuko.
There's no reason why she has to live with us.
I'll be glad to see the back of her.
I served her for 30 years!
Now she's making me feel so miserable!
Why does all this have to be discussed here?
I can sympathize with your wife.
Mother sure is a problem!
It's a time of crisis for our business!
Where is this place you want to visit? Is it far away?
Why go there? Do you know someone there?
You just have no idea...
Do you realize the trouble you've caused everyone?
People say it's trouble between you and Michiko.
I feel sorry for her because of such rumors.
Who'd say such nonsense?
That's what people think and believe.
At least auntie Tei believe so.
Rumor can't break her... Michiko is Hitoshi's wife!
As long as they're happy as a couple that's all that matters.
It could develop into trouble between them.
Think of other people for a change.
That was delicious!
You were against opening the new store.
Is that it?
- People are saying that? - You're not?
Why would I leave just because I oppose the opening of a new store?
Then why did you leave on grand opening day?
I'll leave the money here.
The snow's still too deep. We can't get up to that village.
Then let's walk...
You must be joking! You're not dressed for it.
And besides that village's been abandoned for years.
I see...
Nobody lives there?
It's no place for people to live.
I guess it can't be helped.
Then we'll have to come back again tomorrow.
I'll come dressed to hike up there.
I know my way!
I know my way up there very well.
You'd never make it!
- I'm used to walking in snow. - Yes but...
Such a nice big bridge...
There used to be just a small suspension bridge here...
It would roll in the wind...
So scary!
Why do you want to go to this village?
It used to snow a lot when I was a child...
Sometimes it would be too deep for me to walk in...
Maybe I'm too old to walk up there...
You really want to go?
I'll take you!
Even if I have to carry you.
You're not strong enough for the task.
Don't take me lightly!
I've climbed many a high snow peak!
I can carry you easily!
You want to go right?
That's why you came here isn't it?
I'll do anything for you.
Kei didn't know why Oshin was so adamant
about going up to an abandoned village.
But Kei was moved by the look of determination on Oshin's face.
