Episode 13
They don't know of any Nakagawa Lumber Mill.
I thought it was around here.
Well that was 75 years ago and I was seven.
A child's memory isn't all that accurate.
This whole area's changed.
I'm sure there are new people and businesses here now.
No wonder they've never heard of the lumber mill.
But since nobody remembers the name
something must've happened to that business a long time ago.
Yes.
A lot has happened since then.
The Great Depression and the war.
Many big businesses went under back then.
Maybe the town hall has some records.
Never mind. I didn't come here for that.
It's just that I've never come back after I left that day.
I was just curious to see if the mill was still here.
I'm sure the people from back then are all gone.
But...
I did want to see Takeshi if he's still alive.
But I'm sure he wouldn't remember me now.
I came to reminisce that's all.
It really was a long time ago.
There's nothing here to remind me of those days now.
Even the river has changed.
I can't remember where I used to wash the diapers.
It's as though it was all a dream...
I'm sure it snows a lot here.
It must get cold!
It gets colder than cold!
Oshin was thinking back to her childhood.
She was only seven yet she had to endure hardships.
That day... What had snapped within her?
She didn't even think of the blizzard.
She just wanted to go home to her mother.
Oshin missed that single-minded determination of her youth.
Mother I'll be home soon.
I'm home!
Welcome home!
We're so glad to see you!
Grandma!
I'm so happy that you're well!
We'll never send you out to work again!
We had a good harvest so just stay home!
You've come to?
Go back to sleep.
Who are you?
You're all right. Just rest quietly.
I have hot soup for you.
What am I doing here?
I was worried so I stopped by to see how she was.
This is hot. Drink it slowly.
It's badger soup it'll give you strength.
It smells bad but it's good for you!
It's good.
I can eat by myself.
Here.
Your clothes aren't dry yet so wear this.
I thought she was done for when you brought her in.
This young man saved your life.
He held you naked to warm you back up.
I told him that you were frozen but he insisted.
He held you all night long.
I guess your persistence paid off didn't it?
What village do you come from? Why were you out walking like that?
Were you lost?
He didn't know where to take you
so he carried you up the mountain to this place.
You saved me?
You were buried in the snow. I almost didn't see you.
Good thing there was still light.
You're a lucky girl.
When you get better I'll take you home.
Where do you live?
You do have a home don't you?
Have you forgotten?
What's your name?
She's tired. Let her sleep.
All right. She's your guest.
But I'm sure people are waiting for her to come home.
They must be worried.
Yes.
I'll be going then.
You go that way!
Oshin's only seven.
Go easy on her!
I don't enjoy being so strict on her.
But stealing has to be dealt with sternly!
I did it for her own good.
Oshin stole something? I didn't know about that.
It's nothing...
I didn't want you to know about it.
If you knew it would be hard on Oshin when she came back.
Oshin took a 50-sen coin from Otsune's purse.
She took it while I went to the shed.
Oshin was the only one present!
And we found the coin on Oshin. Otsune had no choice.
I feel badly for Oshin now.
I took that coin!
I needed change to give to one of the boys.
You did?
I forgot to tell you about it.
You forgot?
Then where did Oshin get that coin?
She said her grandmother gave it to her!
Maybe she'll never come back...
Go and find her!
She'll be back.
We've already paid her wages. She has to finish out her year!
Oshin knows she can't just run away.
The blizzard's dying down.
We can make it down the mountain now.
He'll go down with you so you won't get lost.
If we wait more snow is bound to fall.
I'd like to take her all the way home but...
Go to that village and you're a dead man!
We're busy up here hunting and making charcoal.
Once we take you down you can find your own way home.
You look much better now. And your family is waiting.
We have snowshoes for you too!
If you don't leave now you'll never get home.
I have no place to go. I have no place to call home.
Oh come on.
I ran away from my place of employment.
I wanted to go home to my mother. If I go home my father will yell at me.
I'll get sent back!
I never want to go back to where I work!
I'll go back there over my dead body!
But you can't stay here.
Fine.
You can stay here if you don't mind this place.
Shunsaku!
Even if we take her down she might not make it home.
I'm sure her village is all snowed in.
She'd never make it home on her own.
If we take her down someone else can help her.
She has her own reasons for wanting to stay.
She can stay until the snow melts.
Shunsaku!
That's best.
Just stay here.
What will you do with her up here?
Don't you realize your own situation?
You're in no position to be helping people!
You're supposed to be in hiding!
If she goes home and tells people about you you're all done for!
It got away.
It doesn't matter! Your life's in danger!
What about me?
I took you in as a godsend.
For my son who was killed at Hill 203 in the Russo-Japanese War!
I got us a rabbit for dinner.
Shunsaku!
She's on the run just like me. I have to help her.
Oshin had no idea who these men were.
But she knew that the bearded man's eyes were kind.
Oshin's future was uncertain yet she felt strangely calm.
