01x07 - Grand mal

Post by bunniefuu »

You sent me here. We don't have

curtains. I never put them up.

I'll recite this to Gösta

on our wedding night.

Professor?

You need to come. Onerva's

pregnant. Lundsten doesn't know.

I'm going to visit my wife.

Onerva, do you know

what day it is? Onerva?

Yes?

- Are you awake?

- Can't you see she's awake?

- I am. How come?

- You've been a bit absent.

- You've been totally f*cked up.

- You've had all kinds of treatments.

I thought you're going to stare

at a wall for the rest of your life.

What is it?

No

- No

- Onerva.

- I k*lled her

- No you didn't!

- I k*lled Vera.

- Be quiet. You didn't k*ll anyone.

- Give me something.

- What?

Give me something to drink. Water!

- Listen. You haven't k*lled anyone.

- I have.

- Take this. Take it!

- No, no, no!

f*ck!

Wait!

Usually there's someone

to receive us.

This is a personal visit.

- It's that way.

- Thank you.

Pirjo.

Show him the way.

Hello?

Hello?

- Hi.

- Yes?

Onerva Poikelus.

I've come to see her.

Just a moment.

A man

Is he the child of God?

Alma would like to see

your little sausages.

Alma will go outside now.

The others are there.

There's a man here.

She's a fascinating person

- The Doctor will be here in a minute.

- Sure, there's no hurry.

Was the sea rough?

Not at all. A surprisingly long trip.

That's what treatments here

are based on.

Far from everything and

plenty of peace and quiet.

The pressure of modern society

does not reach us here.

I'm sure this place

is soothing for the soul.

As I recall we haven't

agreed on any visits?

That's right, we haven't.

I just miss Onerva so much.

So I thought I must be allowed

to see my own wife, right?

Of course!

Onerva told me

you're involved in politics.

Yes, I'm a special assistant

at the party office.

- Mostly strategic affairs, you know.

- Yes, yes

It must take nerves of steel

and lots of patience.

Then you probably understand that

in politics, timing is critical

if you want to achieve

your goals.

- Yes, I do.

- Good.

Because the same kind

of applies to psychiatry.

- It does?

- Yes.

You probably remember

why we originally agreed

that it is best for Onerva

to check in here?

You double-talking b*stard!

Yes

Onerva?

What

Hi.

- Whose brush is in our bathroom?

- What?

- Whose brush is in our bathroom?

- Excuse me.

You can't come to

my workplace like this

Why did you lie to me,

you pathetic piece of sh*t?

Be careful of this man!

He's probably lying to you all day!

Is it you? Are you the one

screwing my husband?

- Is it you? Come here and talk to me!

- That's enough.

Let go of me, you as*h*le!

What the hell?

We've succeeded in opening up

Onerva's mind.

And I must admit,

it hasn't been easy.

I can believe that.

But by timing various

stimulants wrong

we may ruin the work

we have painstakingly conducted.

It would be the utmost folly

to throw everything away

for something completely trivial.

Such as the fact that someone

happened to miss

the patient a little.

I'm not going anywhere before

I've had the chance to see Onerva.

- Well, why not

- Where is she?

Everyone, back into your rooms!

- We're shutting the doors now.

- I need the toilet.

Lundsten's orders.

Get in your room!

Open the door! You hear me?

Onerva Hi.

It's me. Tuomas.

How are you?

Tuomas.

Onerva, I've missed you so much.

- The curtains.

- What?

She may experience hallucinations.

- The curtains.

- Are there curtains over your eyes?

I saw the curtains.

I saw that we had curtains.

- He's following me.

- Who?

Kari.

Oh, Kari. You mean your brother?

What's happened to these?

Come here, honey.

I heard about the baby.

Our baby.

Your baby?

No, our baby.

It's wonderful news.

That's enough for today.

Excuse me, I'm

talking with my wife.

- Onerva, can you hear me?

- She's tired. We should stop now.

I'll stop once I've spoken with

my wife. Can you hear me, Onerva?

- Let's leave Onerva in peace.

- Let go of me. Can you hear me?

- Tuomas.

- What have you given to her?

I can assure you

that your wife is not

pregnant. This is

a hospital after all.

Yes, but why is she completely

unlike her normal self?

Like I've told you, delusional

mania is no playing matter.

- Have you examined her?

- The human mind is mysterious.

So you've done blood tests

and other medical exams?

Humans are simply not

straightforward creatures.

Alright. Next time, we'll book

an appointment in advance, okay?

So was she pregnant?

- It's none of your f*cking business!

- Yes, it probably isn't.

Open the door!

I'm pissing my pants here!

Tuomas!

Stop!

God damn it, Tuomas!

You don't know everything!

They've done something to Onerva.

What?

- Who's that?

- A patient.

- A nutcase?

- A patient!

Take this!

Are you the one who called me?

The pregnancy was a lie!

You wouldn't have come otherwise!

Do you realise what

kind of games you're playing?

Oh god damn it!

Take this.

What's going on?

Alright, get in the boat.

Do you need a hand?

This lady was a university professor.

I'm not dealing with

crazy people's business.

How about your wife's?

This woman is in

the closed ward and a total loony.

Do you want the same

to happen to Onerva?

I don't understand how this person

has anything to do with us!

The only thing this woman's

done is criticise Lundsten!

Do you understand?

He must be stopped!

I think we're done here.

Thanks for the ride, sweetie!

You'd better change

into some dry clothes.

Ritva, I'm making table decorations

for the wedding.

Fold fold

Fold it.

Listen.

"During the w*r years an ammunition

storage was dug under the bunker."

Give me the book.

"EAGLEROCK SANATORIUM"

What is this?

"A passageway was excavated from

the cellar of the main building."

Onerva thought for a long time

she'd seen you at the bunker door.

But Onerva's now totally cuckoo.

She's completely messed up.

f*ck!

Hey, you.

Matilda, we've met.

Knowledge belongs to all.

Are you pretending?

Get lost.

I want to know if there's

something beneath the bunker.

- What do they do there?

- I know who you are.

Onerva Poikelus has been taken.

- And you care about her?

- Don't you?

Every time I went home,

I was really home.

- Really?

- I went to Stockmann's store too.

- I'm sure you did.

- I did. I brought Onerva a gift.

The method starts from hypnosis.

I haven't been hypnotised.

They tried it once. It didn't work.

It doesn't work on everyone.

That's why you were spared.

Why?

He's Beelzebub!

What has he done to you?

God damn it, Koivisto!

- What is this?

- It's dialogue.

Dialogue? No!

You're slandering

and sabotaging my work

systematically and on purpose!

Which part of this isn't true?

I'll be happy to correct it.

This is not about fixing

a few nuances.

You've systematically

disturbed my work for months

and now you're

slandering me publicly

You're way off base, Gösta.

I'm simply letting people know

your methods have been questioned

by the people you copied them from.

The MK-Ultra program has produced

remarkable results in the US.

They absolutely need to be refined

and applied in modern psychiatry.

That's your opinion.

Mine is different.

Then keep your opinion to yourself

and stop pushing it everywhere!

My work is none of

your god damn business!

Severing the corpus callosum.

My nerve tract has been cut.

It healed the epilepsy and

put an end to the seizures but

The delusions

and the lesbianism remained.

And the assholeness.

You probably recognise it.

The office hasn't been

used by the professor for ages.

Does Koivisto have any family?

Good evening, I'm Tuomas Poikelus.

My business concerns

Matilda Koivisto.

How is Matilda?

Actually, I've never met her.

I wanted to ask you about Eaglerock.

From what I understand

Matilda Koivisto might have been

a critic of the head doctor

at Eaglerock.

Your wife?

Is she ill?

No No, she isn't.

Or I don't know.

She's still in the early stages.

Spouses often have difficulties

accepting the disease.

I've been thinking

I wonder if she was any more

messed up than the rest of us.

It was a crazy time.

You hope until the end

that it's something else.

I heard that the head doctor

was guilty of some wrongdoing.

Which of course I don't believe,

but I just wanted to double-check.

I haven't heard anything of the sort.

And I don't believe

Matilda has, either.

Thank you anyway.

The only thing Matilda wanted

was for him to stop the hypnosis

and narcotics treatments.

- Don't even try!

- What?

No one's going to wonder

if you put me on sauna heating duty.

Maybe not,

but what would happen then?

You could come to the sauna

ahead of everyone else.

I don't know.

Oh?

Alright then.

Sera, I was thinking

maybe I could be your bridesmaid.

My sister's going

to be my bridesmaid.

Your sister?

Okay

How many guests

are coming to the wedding?

It depends on how many relatives

can make it. At least a hundred.

Gösta needs to find out if

Kalastajatorppa Hotel is available.

- What about Marjorie?

- She still hasn't moved out.

Right, that complicates things.

She's a sick person, she just draws

her pictures and manipulates people.

You don't mind Gösta

having two wives?

She's his ex-wife.

You can't just wait

for things to happen.

You have to make sure

things go your way.

What do you mean?

If you're worried

about Gösta's wife

how do you make sure

he will never miss her?

I'll k*ll her.

That's one way.

Or it could be something else.

Hint: what happens

on your wedding night?

You're not Lundsten's first,

so you need to know what to do.

You need to know

what to do with this!

- I don't know about that.

- Exactly.

- Oh my God.

- Precisely.

I know how you can manage this.

First you smile

Then you touch him like this

You unbuckle his belt and

- Take off his trousers.

- I don't know how to do that.

Of course not.

That's why you have to practice.

How?

Hi.

What do you think about this dress?

As a man.

- What are you doing?

- You're so strong, Kuikka.

Come.

Are you sure?

- I don't want you just for this

- What if I want it?

Have you even looked

at what's in there?

I took a quick look.

It's like from another dimension.

Some medical reports,

half of which have been redacted.

And the professor's own texts

which jump from the patriarchy to the

Freemasons in a single paragraph.

And she's a university professor.

She's in a mental institution now.

And for good reason, I'm sure.

"In the Bible, man made out Eve to

be a sinner, the cause of our fall."

"Now this idea is being applied to

turn us into obedient baby-makers."

Interesting.

This claims that

healthy but difficult

women are sent to Eaglerock

to be "reprogrammed".

That place was advertised

to me as a sanatorium.

Advertised?

That head doctor

came to the police station.

"When daily life weighs

on the modern woman

she escapes to the rugged

landscape of Eaglerock."

Could that crazy professor's writings

have any truth to them?

Tuomas.

The simplest answer

is usually the right one.

Is it more likely that society sends

healthy women to a mental hospital

or that the author of this is crazy?

What bothers me is that

Onerva wasn't even angry at me.

She was just different.

Maybe that's the idea?

It means the treatment's working.

What are these films?

Thank you, Karoliina.

I would be lost without you.

You're always so sensible.

And what else?

And intelligent.

That's technically the same thing.

Thanks for the advice.

Now I'm ready to proceed.

God damn it, no!

Fire!

Poikelus, we've got to go!

Onerva, there's a fire alarm.

Helena! Help me!

I took care of it.

Help!

Onerva!

Onerva!

Are you okay?

- What have they done to you?

- Move over.

Onerva, it's us.

I need to be at the party office

in a short while.

- Couldn't you tell me on the phone?

- You have to see this.

Where was this shot?

The reel had only "1964" and

"MK Ultra Studies" written on it.

Look familiar?

- Is that Lundsten?

- Yes.

And that's Doctor Kraft, whose

work Matilda Koivisto criticised.

Lundsten was his student.

He favoured humane treatment,

modern psychotherapy and hypnosis.

- That sounds pretty good.

- Hold your horses.

This is one of his students.

What are you trying to tell me?

Using hypnosis,

Kraft got this man to believe

he had run over

a little girl while drunk.

- Had he?

- Of course not.

The problems began when

healthy people started to crack.

I mentioned

these to my colleagues.

- I showed them to my boss

- Karoliina, we talked about this.

Just stay out of this, ok?

Well?

No one?

A bonfire in the middle of the floor.

Aren't you ashamed?

Do I need to punish all of you?

The art therapy classroom

is completely destroyed.

And Marjorie's work

over many years ruined.

Fine.

Hands.

Let's start with Alma.

It was me.

You? You wanted

to destroy Marjorie's art?

No, I wanted to k*ll her.

Shut up.

I couldn't wait for her

to come to her senses.

Serafina will go to isolation now.

Erkki!

It was me.

I was pissed off. Sorry.

But I didn't try to k*ll anyone.

I will make sure

there are consequences.

For f*ck's sake,

I understand you all feel like crap.

You are sick.

You can't k*ll me.

I'm already dead.

This was all I had.

I talked to Karkinen's

special assistant.

They're going to open

an investigation

to find out if Lundsten's

brainwashing his patients.

So she isn't crazy?

Why do you use that word?

If you tell me you sent

your wife to a mental institution

I can assume she's crazy.

I never said she was "crazy".

Well, what then?

No one can handle her outbursts

and the constant fighting.

I told you that she came raging

at my workplace and all.

- What did you fight about?

- She thought I was cheating on her.

You are cheating on her.

What is this?

- Don't you start about this

- Or else what?

You'll send me there, too?

You're nothing like

Onerva, so please stop.

What if I am?

What if we have a problem

you don't want to deal with?

Honey, I would never do that to you.

Do you understand?

But you did it to Onerva.

Yes, I did.

Do you think I'm a monster who would

send his wife to an institution?

Am I like that?

Am I like that?

Like you said, the ministry's

going to investigate.

I really thought

we could get a break.

Do you realise how unwell she was?

The ministry It'll take ages.

How could I be so stupid?

How could I leave her there?

Hi.

You're angry and bitter at me.

Why do you say that?

Why else would we be here?

Why else would you

be standing in my way?

How come?

You're annoyed by my background.

You feel I'm privileged.

Why?

You put me up to this.

Like you did with your brother Kari.

That's the reason.

Do you want to see

someone falling again?

I don't think so.

Do I?

We already know

that you pushed me.

But it's important to know

why you did it.

I don't know. I'm so sorry.

I'm sorry, I'm sorry

Vera holds Onerva's shoulders.

No.

No.

Let go of me.

Let go of me.

- Calm down.

- Let go.

Calm down, Onerva.

Let go of me!

- And Onerva pushes.

- Calm down.

- You got angry.

- I got angry.

And you pushed.

I pushed her.

I did it.

Yes, you did.

I k*lled her.

Now you have to bear

the responsibility for it.

I k*lled her because

I wanted to k*ll.

I k*lled her because

I wanted to k*ll!

I wanted to k*ll!
