Kabei: Our Mother Page #2

I will.

This is the number of the publisher...

where I work.

Well, I'll be going.

Won't you have some dinner?

It's nothing fancy...

No, I couldn't.

Mrs Nogami...

Yes?

Girls...

Yes?

You mustn't lose hope.

The Professor...

Sir, you are not alone.

There are many of us

looking out for you.

Don't give up.

Thank you.

Good night.

No!

I'm sorry. I'm fine.

I'm sorry. I'm fine.

Are you all right?

Yes!

Don't touch me! My feet have gone numb.

Mr Yamazaki, or 'Yama',

as we called him...

was from that day on someone

we couldn't do without.

Thank you, Mr Yamazaki.

No, thank you very much.

Come back, OK?

Sure. We'll go somewhere.

Great!

Good night.

For you.

A fresh egg.

Thank you.

It's nice and warm.

Good night.

Good night!

Hold it!

Hey!

Hey, you! Halt!

Hey!

Oh, good evening. Can I help you?

Can you help me?

Why didn't you stop when I told you?

I'm sorry. I'm deaf in this ear.

Where are you off to?

Sorry?

Where are you going?

I was visiting the home

of a professor of mine.

I'm going home.

Scholar, huh?

You look fit. Why

aren't you in the army?

I registered for the

draft in university...

but I'm very near-sighted,

and I'm deaf in this ear.

Unfortunately, I was rejected.

One ear or two, there are still

lots of ways to serve your country!

Yes!

If a draft notice comes

to one such as I...

I will fight like a

demon for my country!

Good! On your way.

Good night.

Yeah, sure!

Time after time Mother went to

the Police and the Prosecutor...

but it was cherry-blossom time

before she finally saw my father.

I've brought him a meal.

May I give it to him?

And a change of clothes.

Thank you.

Teru-bei! You came, too?

How are you?

Well, as you can see...

I wanted to come sooner,

but the procedures...

But with Officer

Kosuge's help, finally...

Could he change clothes?

It itches.

Here.

You're weak, so chew carefully...

Hey! No whispering.

It's hard on you too, huh?

No.

Bet when you married him

you never dreamed of this.

Imperial University

graduate, a scholar...

If he'd played his cards

right he'd be a full professor.

We'd have nothing to say to him.

Putting a pretty young

wife through all this!

Divorce him.

Yeah.

Your father dropped in here.

What a surprise!

A police chief down in

Yamaguchi Prefecture!

This must put him in a real bind...

his son-in-law being

a thought criminal!

Nogami!

Think a bit about how

her father must feel.

Yes, sir.

And you've got daughters.

You've got to get yourself home.

I'd be grateful.

When might my husband be released?

That depends on you.

You have to talk to him.

Get him to start thinking

like a proper Japanese.

Yes.

You miss him, don't you?
