Episode 68
What are you doing?
I wanted to cook you some beans.
Oshin had been away for three years.
But life was harder than ever at home
despite the booming economy.
This was the life of a poor sharecropper family.
Mother...
Let's go to Tokyo and we'll live together.
No thanks.
I came here as a bride expecting to die here.
This is my home.
We have our fields. We might we poor
but farming gives meaning to my life.
I was born into a farm family and I married a farmer.
This is my life.
I've experienced going away to work when we had nothing to eat.
But I always liked coming back to this life.
Thanks for your concern.
And I know you'll be good to me but I'll only be holding you back.
No you won't!
You will have your own family one day.
Who would want to marry you if I were around?
Don't say that!
I don't want to have to mind your husband.
If I stay here and if Shoji finds himself a wife
I would still be the lady of the house.
I've worked hard here.
Nobody can dislodge me from my place here!
Don't worry.
I'm not as weak as you think.
Just think of yourself.
We weren't good parents to you
but you've managed to make it on your own.
You're a good daughter.
I don't need anything else.
- Father. - Yes?
I'll send you money every month. I'll send as much as I can.
Did you hear that? Oshin will help us!
Oshin is a good girl!
Pay off your loans with the money.
What are you saying?
But be good to mother!
With money you won't fight anymore.
All I want is for the three of you to get along.
I'll work hard and earn the money!
Oshin!
I'm back.
- You've been gone for a while. - I'm so sorry.
I just arrived in Ueno. I just stopped in to say hello.
I'll come by from tomorrow.
- Here. - Thanks!
- What is it? - Some manju cakes.
I'm so glad she's back.
We missed you!
Other hairdressers charge so much more than you.
It's not the money. This hairstyle makes me look older!
Oshin can make you look younger.
I'm not that old yet!
We're all in the same boat.
I appreciate your support.
I'll be needing more money now so please find me more clients.
Of course!
Be quiet!
Kota?!
I'm sorry.
When did you get back?
Late this afternoon. What's going on?
Don't turn the lights on.
Okay.
It's the police...
They're on my trail.
Japan's one of the few places where strikes aren't allowed.
It's the worker's right to strike!
The government shouldn't be suppressing them!
When we first met
you were trying to incite share- croppers to fight the landlords.
That's right. I'm still involved in that.
There's no difference between factory workers and sharecroppers.
Your task is so demanding...
Someone has to do it!
I have nowhere to hide but here.
Shall I make you something to eat?
No I'll leave as soon as it's quiet outside.
No. Stay here. I'll go instead.
How's Okayo?
She got married in Sakata.
I see. That's good.
I didn't tell her about you.
Good you did right.
I don't know if I did the right thing.
She seemed heartbroken...
Maybe I should've told her!
No.
She asked me to get rid of her things.
She didn't want any reminders of Tokyo.
That's why I came... but it's so hard for me!
She'll get over it soon.
She has somebody now. He'll make her forget.
I guess it's safe for me to go now.
We'll just hold onto this room for you.
I'll be leaving Tokyo right away. I don't know when I'll be back.
And I'll never come back to this room again.
Throw her things away as she asked you to do.
Then at least spend your last night here.
I'll bring you breakfast early in the morning.
Oshin.
Yes?
Maybe we'll never see each other again.
Forgive me for having hurt you.
I'll be back... with breakfast early tomorrow.
Oshin had thought that she'd gotten over Kota
but having seen him again she felt differently.
She didn't want this to be their last meeting.
Good morning.
Cooking so early in the morning?
I'm so sorry if I disturbed you.
We're an old couple. We rise early!
Going on a picnic?
I have to deliver this food for someone.
Quite a feast!
It's me Oshin...
It's Oshin.
This is the pen I always favored. Please put it to good use.
Where is he?
Where did he go?!
Oshin knew they were police detectives
and she knew they'd come to arrest Kota.
She also knew that she was in big trouble.
