Episode 125
Thank you for coming to see me so late.
The moon is out. It's beautiful.
I couldn't come during the day because I had to work.
But I wanted to see you.
I'm sorry to cause you so much worry.
What you did wasn't like you at all.
You have given me so much comfort and support
after I came to live with the Tanokuras.
I kept telling myself that I could do it too.
Because you were having to persevere too.
Then you...
I came here expecting the worst hardships but...
Your suffering and mine are different.
And I could have endured if it was just me.
I worked without complaining.
But you know my past...
All that doesn't matter!
You're a hard-working wife now aren't you?
A harlot is always a harlot... Nothing can change that fact...
You knew that before you came here as a bride.
Kozo knew that too.
But I'm not the only one suffering...
Kozo his mother and his family all get ostracized because of me.
And the family is always arguing. It's all because of me!
Today after work
the argument started again over something trivial.
Kozo was told that he had wasted his money in buying me out
and making me his wife.
I felt so badly for Kozo. I was wrecking his family.
They're arguing because of me!
The next thing I knew... I'd jumped into the creek.
I'm glad you survived...
No... I would've been happier dead.
I didn't want to live.
No good can come from me being alive...
Kozo would've been better off without me.
I'm just bad luck that's all...
Don't say such things.
Kozo loves you!
I know that but the more he protects me
more arguments arise with his family.
I told him not to come to see me in this hut.
I have already caused him enough shame.
You shouldn't be here with me either!
I don't care if people talk.
I don't plan on staying here much longer.
What will you do now?
I've come this far. It's too late...
A woman who tried to kill herself can't stay here in the village
but I have no relatives. I can't go back to being a harlot.
Let's go to Tokyo together!
I think you've reached the limits of your endurance.
In that case...
It means you can go anywhere and do anything now!
A chastised bride doesn't have to stay.
I've brought shame... It can't be helped.
And it's nicer here in the hut by myself than in the house.
Do you really plan to leave the Tanokuras?
I'm waiting for word from Tokyo. I have people there.
If I were stuck here with nowhere to go
I might have done what you did too.
It affected me...
That's why I invited you to leave with me.
But...
Don't worry. It'll be all right in Tokyo.
In Tokyo nobody will know your past.
You could start over.
I have enough money for two train tickets!
You're leaving by yourself?
- No with Yuu. - You can't do that!
I have given up on my husband.
I would feel stronger if you came with me.
I'll let you know when we leave.
When you get better and can work again
we'll meet under the big tree at the temple.
Tokyo is big and free... One can do anything there!
There's no class segregation and one reaps what one sows!
We're locked out.
Well it can't be helped... We'll sleep outside tonight.
Oshin!
- What's going on? - Where were you?
Ryuzo was worried to death that you were gone.
I came to look in on Yuu and no one was there.
Where did you go?
I wanted to take a walk under the moon.
What if Yuu catches a cold?!
Never mind! They're both safe.
Come on inside. I'm so glad all is well.
Why didn't you tell us you were going out?
There is no need for that now...
A fine wife!
Going out at night by herself!
And you were worried about her for nothing!
That's why your wife doesn't do as you say!
Be more firm with her!
I'm sorry. I didn't think you would worry so much.
If you'd done something I'd catch the brunt of it.
So please be more considerate.
Here.
It's a letter from Otaka.
I'm still in temporary lodging right now
but I can still do hair and everything is fine.
I don't know when Tokyo will regain its former self
but more and more houses are being rebuilt.
I'm sure you're used to things there in Saga by now
but do come back to Tokyo if you feel you need to.
I didn't expect to see you so soon again!
I go back to work starting today.
If I don't work I don't get fed.
I got a letter from my hair teacher in Tokyo.
She has a house and she's working again!
I can be a hairdresser again. We won't starve.
Then you're still planning to go?
We'll go during the middle day of the Equinox.
It's the holidays and we won't have to work.
And with many guests nobody will miss us.
I have checked on the train schedule too.
Let's buy our tickets separately and we'll meet on the train.
Here's the money for the ticket.
Don't buy one going all the way to Tokyo
or people will be suspicious. Understand?
I didn't realize you were so serious.
I'm as good as dead living here...
You'll leave your husband?
It can't be helped... He's better off here.
His mother will take good care of him.
People will all be happier without me.
So be ready to leave.
I don't have anything to pack.
Just don't let people find out.
But...
I'd better go before they miss me.
Are you feeling ill?
It's nothing...
I haven't had my monthly but it's probably because
I'm so excited about going to Tokyo.
I'm fine.
Oshin knew that she was pregnant again.
But her resolve to leave remained unchanged.
She knew she couldn't bring a new life
into this world now... Not here anyway.
