Episode 111
The Tanokura Company was doing well
and Yuu was growing steadily.
As a wife and mother Oshin was happy.
I'm sorry...
He must be heavy for you. Let me take over.
He's in a good mood.
Yuu really loves you.
It's my biggest pleasure to spend time with him.
I used to carry Ryuzo on my back too.
That was 30 years ago.
I'm glad I'm still alive to enjoy this.
You're such a big help to us.
I found a good location for our factory.
It's about 10 minutes away from here.
They'll be foreclosing on the land
and putting it up for auction soon.
It will cost a lot but I will get it!
Where will we get the money?
I'll get it
and I'll use the money my father will loan me to build on it.
Will you be able to repay all the loans?
Yes. With 30 sewing machines working
our profits will be that much greater too.
We'll repay the loans in no time and the land will belong to us.
Then we'll build us a new house on the lot.
- But... - Just leave everything to me.
Once we get the land everything will be just fine.
Yuu... You've brought us good luck.
I will build you a big house to grow up in.
Itoko sewed her finger!
She stitched herself on the sewing machine?
I'll take her to the hospital.
I'll take her place on the machine.
We don't want to fall behind on our orders.
Is that you Mrs. Okayo?
It is you!
Hello Mr. Tanokura!
What are you doing out here?
I wasn't sure if I had the right place...
You have the right place.
Come on inside!
Oshin!
Mrs. Okayo?
What a fine boy.
You don't have a baby yet?
I'm so glad you came. Did you have business in Tokyo?
I came to celebrate your son's birth.
I wasn't able to come for your wedding.
We didn't have a formal ceremony.
That's why I wanted to come for your baby!
My grandmother wanted me to come too.
I'm glad she's well.
She looks forward to the letters from you.
She wants me to report on what I see here.
She is still worried about you.
I'm very grateful.
You can stay for a while can't you?
I have some work I have to finish.
Never mind. Keep Okayo company.
But we have to fill tomorrow's order.
I'll make some excuse.
I'm not in any hurry to go home. Maybe I can help you.
I couldn't ask you to do that.
I found a replacement for Itoko.
What a time for her to get injured!
Don't talk like that... She was overworked.
It's our fault that she got hurt.
Nobody else ever got hurt!
She wasn't that good...
I'll lay her off.
You're firing her?
She has brought this all upon herself!
Maybe she was careless but it's work-related.
We'll pay her medical expenses and help her while she mends.
That's nonsense!
Then how will she eat?
She can't do any work with an injury like that.
That's not our problem. We pay by the piece.
We can't support her if she doesn't work.
You want Itoko to starve?
I know how you feel
but we can't let our emotions get in the way of our work.
We can't pay all her expenses and pay for her replacement too.
How much do you think we'll lose?
Money isn't the issue here and I'm not just being emotional.
My late sister was fired when she came down
with tuberculosis and couldn't work anymore.
She came back to us in tatters.
And she died.
I hated that textile mill for its cruelty!
If we forsake Itoko
we would be just like that awful textile mill.
I can't do that!
We are responsible for her well-being.
She has worked hard for us until now.
All right all right.
You win.
She is always like this. A big nuisance!
I'm sorry...
We shouldn't argue in front of you.
I'm envious...
A married couple should be like this...
That's what being married is all about isn't it?
She wins all the arguments!
I know what Oshin is talking about.
Kota always said the same thing.
He said that workers have rights
and that employers must respect those rights.
The only way is for workers to unite and fight!
Listening to you talk got me thinking about Kota.
Your employees are lucky to have you.
What had really brought Kayo to Tokyo?
Coming to see the baby was just an excuse.
Oshin knew Kayo too well. She could sense it.
I'm sorry.
We weren't even able to go out to eat.
Ryuzo and I will take you out for dinner tomorrow.
I didn't come to be entertained.
I don't want you to make a fuss over me.
We want to be able to treat you properly.
Now that we're able to.
It's good that you came out to Tokyo.
I've had my share of problems
but this is the life I chose so I will live with it.
Yes... You were able to choose your own path.
You probably have no regrets...
I had to go home to Sakata to marry a man I didn't love.
I can't take it anymore...
I want to get a job here in Tokyo.
I'm never going back to Sakata!
To come visit you was just an excuse.
This is my last chance!
- Don't say that. - Oshin...
You're the only one I can count on for help.
He's wet his diaper...
You seem so happy...
When you have your own baby things will get better for you too.
Babies are so cute...
I don't want a child by that man!
He already has a child by his concubine.
When I found out about it
I asked for my family's permission to divorce him.
They said it was my fault that he was having affairs.
Just because he's a university graduate...
And just because the family business needs him...
My family thinks highly of him
and they won't agree to send him away.
The only other option is for me to leave!
- But... - Oshin.
I know where Kota is!
Unions for farm workers are numerous now.
Fighting against the ruthless landlords.
And Kota has been very active in them.
I asked one of the union members.
He said Kota was back in Tokyo now.
Don't tell me you...?
I came to see him. Kota is the only one for me.
I'm ready to throw everything away.
I want a life with Kota!
You're happily married so you wouldn't understand.
I don't need you to understand!
