Episode 164
Thanks for the good food and drink!
Come again when you're in town.
Your mackerel was delicious!
Thank you!
Kota waited until closing time.
He had thought Oshin was happily married to Ryuzo.
He couldn't believe she was now living here in Sakata alone,
running an eatery catering to rugged working men.
It's finally quieted down...
What's happened to your house in Tokyo?
I went there once after the earthquake,
but there was another house built there,
and nobody knew what happened to the Tanokuras.
We went to Saga.
They lost everything,
and they went back to Ryuzo's home in Saga.
I'm sorry we don't have much here for you.
Don't mind me. I'm just here to talk.
I never thought I'd find you here in Sakata...
She ran away from her mean mother-in-law in Saga!
She wasn't mean to me... I just couldn't persevere.
It's the same thing...
It must have been really rough if you couldn't take it.
Kaga-ya helped me get started here.
I couldn't get a job with a child.
This way, I can be with Yuu while I work.
Mrs. Okayo comes by sometimes, too.
Where's Tanokura?
He has his own agenda.
He's working on a project to reclaim land from the sea in Saga.
I'm waiting for the day we can all live together as a family again.
Away from his parents.
When he succeeds, I can go back to Saga.
I hope that happens soon.
No use telling Kota sugar-coated tales.
He hasn't even written back to Oshin!
Mrs. Okayo...
Men sure are cold!
At his parents' home Oshin was a stranger.
He wouldn't even protect Oshin from his cruel mother.
He would side with her instead!
It's not his fault...
I shouldn't have always complained to him about his mother.
Nobody likes to have his mother criticized.
No wonder he distanced himself from me...
Who else is there for his wife to complain to?
Shouldn't he lend an ear to his wife?
What's the use of covering up for Ryuzo?
He ended up sending you and your son away!
I left on my own...
Then he should've left with you!
How is a woman supposed to make it on her own if she has a child?
He doesn't care, and he doesn't even write.
I'm sure he's glad that you're gone!
Mrs. Okayo.
Don't you agree with me?
I'm sure Tanokura has his own reasons, too.
After all, it's Ryuzo's home. He has his mother there...
And she takes good care of him.
I'm sure he's looking for a new wife now to please his mother.
He is single now. He can easily find a wife.
I thought Oshin would be liked by everyone.
Oshin and I don't have good luck with men...
Oh, come on. Your husband is a good man.
He is bright, and a modern businessman.
Kaga-ya will be safe under his management.
Instead of working here,
you should be there as his wife and partner.
There is nothing there for me to do.
Besides, Oshin can't do all the work here herself.
I'm sorry I can't entertain you properly.
I still have to clean up.
I understand.
I'll be back.
- You'll be staying on in Sakata? - Yes.
I'll be using Sakata as my home base.
I'm sorry to have stayed so long.
You said you'd stay and drink with me!
You both have to get up early tomorrow.
How much do I owe you?
- I can't take your money! - Don't be like that!
I like the food here more than at my lodging.
If I can't pay, I won't be able to come back.
Well... then you can pay me next time.
I only serve foods with cheap ingredients.
I like meals that are good and inexpensive.
Especially if it's made by you!
Thank you...
I sure didn't expect to be able to eat your cooking here in Sakata again.
I guess we were fated to see one another...
I'll have Kota see me home,
so when someone comes for me, tell them I already left.
- Okay. - Let's go, Kota.
Good night.
Thank you.
We drank at a stall like this in Tokyo once...
And you asked to stay at my apartment.
- Do you remember? - Yes.
That was a very cold night.
Then you told me to forget you, and go home to Sakata.
I caused you nothing but trouble.
I never looked upon it as trouble. I wanted to be with you.
Those were the happiest days of my life...
I used to wait for you to come back...
Now I wait for no one...
I'm glad you came back to Sakata.
Things would have gotten worse for you.
I guess so...
You loved someone else, but I fell for you anyway.
If I had carried on that way, I would still be chasing after you.
I guess I caused you a lot of trouble...
Back then, I couldn't work as freely
as I do now in the farmers' movement.
I was always on the run.
You giving me refuge was a blessing.
I was grateful.
All that is in the past now...
You and I are done, but for Oshin...
You two finally get to meet again.
Are you married?
No, I'm still single.
I guess there really is a God!
He's brought you back to Oshin when she needs you the most.
Oshin is so unfortunate...
I ruined her chances with you that first time.
I feel badly about that. It's all my fault.
It's not too late. Will you be there for Oshin?
She has been abandoned by Ryuzo.
She has no one. She must be so lonely...
But you're back now.
It's like you said... Fate has brought you together.
Strings of fate bind the two of you.
Please be good to Oshin.
Good morning.
What are you doing here so early?
I thought this would be our only chance to talk.
Once you open up, you're too busy to talk.
You need to talk to me?
Is it true? What Kayo said last night.
It's your business if you insist on waiting for Tanokura to return to you,
but is there anything I can help you with now?
I can't ask you to get involved.
I'll stay out of it if you want me to.
But I want to make it up to you for betraying you in the past.
I don't want your pity!
Yuu and I will make out fine on our own.
It's not pity!
After seeing you last night,
I thought about my feelings for you.
If I can be of help to you...
I'm willing to be Yuu's father.
