Episode 141
In her final month of pregnancy,
Oshin was required to move out of the main house,
and live in a shack nearby.
Okiyo believed in the superstition that to have
two babies born under the same roof was unlucky.
That one would surely die.
It's nice and neat.
Ryuzo helped me clean it up.
The place really looked bad!
It looks great! Our laborers built it,
so it's strong enough to withstand even a typhoon.
Shall I have Ryuzo sleep here with you?
Your labor could start at any time.
I'll be all right.
I'll have time enough to have the midwife come and help me.
What if it starts late at night? I'll stay until the time.
I would feel better if you'd stay with her.
Since this is your second time, you already know...
Spread oil paper on the quilts and...
Yes, I know.
I already bought you some oil paper, and put it in there.
Thank you.
You have diapers and swaddling clothes?
Yes.
You can use whatever we have around the house.
I wish you would both hurry and get it over with...
I'm sick of worrying!
At the house, all they talk about is Atsuko.
Your mother is worrying about me, too.
She just feels guilty for having chased you out of the main house.
It doesn't bother me.
At least you're able to lie down here now...
I feel badly for you.
Too bad you and Atsuko are having your babies at the same time.
She is the only daughter,
so it's only natural her mother is very protective of her.
It's not only you...
I've had to go through similar experiences here.
So let's just bear with it.
Please use this.
In these parts, we place oil paper on the quilt,
and use material on top of that for birthing.
It's cotton fabric. I sewed it together with Atsuko's.
That pattern on the fabric wards off evil.
You're giving this to me?
I'm only a wife here, so I can't help you much.
This is about all I can do for you.
Thank you.
Have a healthy baby.
She made this for me...
I will do my best not to cause any trouble,
and have the baby by myself.
Harvest time came which is the busiest time of the year.
And Oshin had to work, too.
But she never complained.
She recalled that her mother had given birth
to one of her babies, while working out in the fields.
Oshin felt she, too, could overcome any obstacle.
You sure worked hard today. Any pains yet?
Sometimes it feels like it, but it's not ready yet.
I guess I will have to wait a bit longer.
This baby is quiet. Yuu used to kick me.
I'll bet it's a girl.
It's started! Please go for the midwife.
We called, but she needs someone to meet her at the village entrance.
She needs a guide.
That's why the village midwife is the best.
This one is from town.
Take the lantern. Be careful!
Atsuko beat you to it.
- Can I help? - No. You're tired.
Dinner is ready, so go have your dinner.
I don't know when we will get to eat.
We have to make sure it all goes well.
I still have time yet...
Mother...
I feel as if you're here with me...
So I'm not afraid of anything.
Mother...
Is it born yet?
It's past midnight. Why is it taking so long?
We can see the baby's head, but it won't come.
She is having a terrible time.
I can't bear to see her suffer.
What are you doing, Okiyo?
Stay with Atsuko, and give her support.
- Is it that bad? - They say the baby is too big.
It's because you let her lie around and loaf!
It's a curse...
It's all because Oshin refused to leave this house.
Stop this nonsense!
If something happens to mother or child,
- Oshin will be held responsible! - Enough, Okiyo!
Please go to her. She's calling for you.
- I can't bear to see her... - Hurry!
Why does Atsuko have to suffer? It's all Oshin's fault!
It's because you brought that woman to this house!
Okiyo!
Talk like that again, and I'll throw you out!
Should you be leaving Oshin all alone?
She said she's not ready yet.
Go look in on her. It could start any minute.
I'd better stay and make sure things are all right here.
I'm worried about Mother.
The midwife is asking for a doctor.
It's too much for her to handle.
- The doctor in town? - Yes.
The midwife's name is Yugi. Get the doctor quickly!
I'll go and get him.
The baby won't last until the morning...
I'll bring the doctor back here by then!
It's raining... You can't use the lantern.
I know the way. I will make it.
Will he get there in time?
Ryuzo!
Ryuzo...
I'm so glad you made it back in time.
You must be tired. We almost died waiting!
I didn't want Mother to blame Oshin if anything went wrong.
It's Oshin who would've suffered.
I ran all the way to town.
Get some sleep. Let the doctor handle it.
It's born! Both mother and baby are fine!
Thanks to you.
I'm so glad... Now Mother can't blame Oshin for anything.
I will go tell Oshin. She was worried.
She was more concerned than any of us.
Oshin!
Ryuzo didn't know what had happened.
He didn't know why she was lying out here.
Oshin was unconscious so she couldn't tell him.
