Episode 45
Oshin was home again after eight years.
She was reluctant to go inside.
She knew that her father and older brother
Shoji would not welcome her homecoming.
Oshin...
Is that you?
You sure have grown up! Did you get time off?
I figured you'd be home before you got married.
Come on inside!
Grandma.
I'm home.
I'm sorry I haven't been home to offer you incense.
She sure would've been glad to see you.
You've grown up to be a fine woman.
She would've been so happy to hear that you're getting married.
How long can you stay?
I'm not going back to Sakata anymore.
I've quit my job with Kaga-ya.
I've turned down that marriage offer too.
They turned me down.
Oshin...
I'll find another job soon. Let me stay until then.
Why did they turn you down?
A lot happened.
I'm still only 16 there's no hurry.
I'll find another job right away.
It couldn't be helped... I'm sorry!
That's all right.
Even if that man's rich
it's not as if you can do as you please with his money.
To become a wife is to work for nothing!
It's ridiculous! I didn't want you to get married.
Keep working and you can earn good money.
I still have debts to pay off.
Your younger siblings have gone to work too.
We were counting on the money you sent each month.
I'll earn money for us all!
Shoji!
Oshin!
Who's that on your back?
That's Haru.
Haru...
Get her bedding out in the shed.
Why the shed?
Just do as I say.
She's sick. We'll put her inside.
It's all right. I'll be okay in the shed.
It's me Oshin!
You're home now. I'll make dinner right away.
Oshin!
She has a high fever.
She needs a doctor!
Never mind...
I know how bad it is.
But...
A doctor will be a waste.
I'll make you comfortable.
You'll catch what she has!
I'll take care of myself.
I don't want others to catch what I have.
Haru...
It's her lungs.
They say it's highly contagious.
She'll die like this! I'll get a doctor.
It's no use!
That's why they sent her home from the textile factory.
She needs a doctor some medicine and food!
We don't have money for a doctor!
She's our sister!
We don't even have enough to eat ourselves!
Haru...
I'll just rest in the shed.
I don't want anybody else to catch it.
Leave me alone!
I don't need a doctor or medicine.
Eating can't help me now.
It'll just be a waste.
Haru...
Just put me in the shed. I'll be fine.
I have money!
You can get better... Don't worry.
You'll get well!
Oshin...
You've had it rough.
You've worked yourself to the bone.
Why didn't you come home sooner?
Thank you for coming. I'll come for the medicine later.
- Oshin. - Yes?
I'll be honest...
There's no medicine that can help her now.
Let her eat what she wants.
She's worked hard. Let her enjoy herself.
Let her see her mother while she still can.
- It's that bad?\- - Yes...
With Oshin and Haru here...
I'll never be able to pay off our debts!
I told you I have money that Kaga-ya gave me.
I want to be able to help Haru.
What a time to get sick like that.
She can't work and she'll cost us money!
Don't talk like that!
For whom was she working? It was for you all!
I don't want her in here. If we catch it we'll all die!
You're just going to leave her in the shed?
We have to think of the living first!
Shoji!
Don't blame me.
That textile factory is a terrible place.
They made her work.
Now they've tossed her out because she can't work.
They made her sick.
They should be the ones to care of her!
It's no use talking like that now.
I'll go to Sakata. Mother needs to come home.
She's working.
Mother would want to see her!
She's working don't bother her.
Father!
You and Haru aren't working we can't have mother here too!
- I gave you money! - 30 yen isn't enough!
That money will be gone in no time! It's barely enough for your food!
What are you doing here?
I prefer it here in the shed.
Never mind me.
Tuberculosis is bad.
If you catch it that'll be the end of you.
I can cough all I want out here.
I'm just waiting to die. That's all.
What...?
Where are you going with the bedding?
Haru insists on sleeping in the shed.
She feels badly for you both. This is her house too!
All sick people go out to the shed. Be careful so you don't catch it!
Here.
Thanks.
Don't worry about me.
I didn't expect you home. Why did you come back?
I'd heard that they were taking good care of you in Sakata.
The gods sent me back here to care for you.
Oshin...
Don't mind our father and brother. I'll take care of you!
You worked hard and sent home all your earnings.
You deserve to take it easy now.
I'll do anything for you.
My body is shot I can't do anything now.
I have nothing I want.
Only one thing...
If I had to live my life over again
I don't want to be born to a sharecropper's family.
I don't blame anyone.
It's just a shame that I'm a sharecropper's daughter.
I don't envy the rich.
I just don't want a sharecropper's life.
I've had enough of it...
