Part 13: Friday the 13th
In January 1989

You shouldn’t be coming outside on a freezing
day like this. Your heart won’t like it.

Likes and likes.

If only I even knew where
that darn Erkki is wandering.

What did we agree about swearing?

Well, under the circumstances! He’s been
missing for three days now.

He could at least call
home so we’d know.

Maybe he has something
important going on.

Maybe so, but now I’m taking the car and driving
to the gravel pit to see what’s going on.

Erkki will probably be home tomorrow, though, when
that Development Fund business analyst comes by.

How would Erkki even know he’s coming?

Well, he called us to let us
know, so we know about it,

but Erkki has no clue.

Hi. Hi.

Nice of you to come.

Now you’ll have to reveal all
the secrets of Greenpeace to me.

Yeah, I could tell you
a few stories from Norway.

Yeah, let’s grab some coffee.

Now we’ll have time.

Yeah.

I’ve got a room at a guesthouse.
Do you know where it is?

Yeah, sure.

What?

Nothing. I’ll take you there.

Okay.

Well, How the trip went...?

Have you already gotten into any school?

I haven’t applied. I’m working
at Dad’s company right now.

Have you decided where you’ll apply?

No. No idea.

Maybe something in biology
or biochemistry or...

I don’t know.

Biochemistry?

Yeah.

That’s as tough as memorizing
the Helsinki region phone book.

Is it?

I’ll have to think of something else.

Congratulations to the new doctor.

Thank you.

And congratulations to the new bride.

What’s this about?

Didn’t anyone tell you
you’re getting engaged today?

Oh, to whom?

You are in an interesting
way out of your mind.

Hello.

Eight full loads of gravel would need to be
delivered to TVL after 6 PM at Oravaniemenmäki.

And then two loads of sand would
need to be delivered to the municipality.

Well, that means overtime.

And we should’ve been informed
about it in advance.

Plus, we haven’t been paid
for overtime this month yet.

It will all be sorted out once
Erkki gets back from his trip.

Where’s he gone this time?

He’s been on so many trips lately.

Yes, yes, he has.

But he’ll be back soon enough.

There are important matters to
take care of here.

People don’t just
vanish during peacetime.

The truth is, I don’t have
enough money by the deadline.

And I have a big project coming up, but
I won’t get paid for another two months.

Couldn’t the bank offer an
extension for the interest payment?

That’s not my decision to make.

But I can certainly ask.

It would help a lot if
I could review your accounts.

See an interim balance sheet
and what’s included in it.

This project, well...

Well?

Is it certain?

It is...

It is.

Absolutely certain.

It is.

How many have you taken today?

I haven’t counted them.

I use more nitro pills
when it’s cold outside.

You’ve taken at least
five. I’ve seen it.

I’ll take as many as I want.

Go ahead.

But if you keep this up, I’m
afraid one day you’ll just blow up.

Well, that would be quite an
exit for a reservist sergeant.

Not everything is always what it seems.

I remember once during the w*r, I
asked a guy lying in the forest,

“Are you wounded?”

He answered, “No, I just fell.”

This is absolutely insane.

I can’t accept something like this.

Eeva remember.

I love you.

I wanna give you the best I can.

You’ve paid through the nose.

This must’ve cost a fortune.

Not that much.

Just some saving and cutting back.

You know what? I’m going to call my mom.

She’ll probably faint.

No, don’t call her!

I have a great idea.

Let’s plan a big surprise.

And let’s go to Hoikka tomorrow.

It’s fun to surprise people. I enjoy it.

And besides,

I want to meet my future in-laws.

And your mom, I still haven't met.

You’re unbelievable.

Hello!

Oh, what a day!

Everything has gone wrong.

Hello.

What are you doing?

I’m moving to Helsinki. I
got a job at TV1.

What?

And I want a divorce.

I'll pick some layer from Helsinki.

I suppose you pick Jaakko?

What are you talking about now?

Take it easy now.

Sit down somewhere.

Raija, hey, listen!

There's no point in
talking about this anymore.

I start a new job on Monday.

And I’m leaving here.

Don’t do that.

We have to talk. The kids and...

It’s too late now. There’s nothing left.

Besides, the kids are
grown-ups now. They’ll manage.

You have your interests,
and I have mine.

But we have a shared life.
This home. These things. Everything.

We had a home together. But there’s nothing left. You gambled it
all on your business mess, like it was some poker chip.

That’s not true.

Isn’t it? There’s nothing left.

We haven’t even been able
to talk for years.

Stressful work.

- Stressful work!

Don’t I also have stressful work?

I manage everything at home, and I
do my job at the radio station.

When was the last time you vacuumed in this house? Do
you even know that the bathroom gets cleaned once a week?

When was the last time
you cooked? Did the dishes?

Paid the bills for this house?

Isn't this paid?

It isn’t.

So, what’s the issue now?

Your mother is moving to Helsinki
and is planning to divorce.

That’s right.

Nobody can live in a house where no one is ever present,
no one talks to anyone, no one means anything to anyone.

And no one does anything.

Since you Liisa came back from Australia,
you haven't done a thing either.

In my opinion, a home is a
place where everyone contributes to its upkeep.

It cannot be a sl*ve’s
workplace for one person.

Right, of course.

When you don’t get your way, you leave.

And you always demand that
everyone agrees with your opinions.

I despise the worldview
you’re trying to impose.

The little princess could’ve at
least gotten a job.

I’ve been working in Dad’s company.

Working? You call that working?

See? You despise anyone
who disagrees with you.

Are you running off to
Helsinki with your disgusting lover?

You should never have married
or had any kids, dammit.

Is that true?

Do you have someone else?

What does it matter?

Who is it?

It's definitely not that process server
who's been asking about you.

Want one?

No, thanks.

At least I’ll have.

How many have you had already today?

Plenty.

Why?

Because it's so boring;
there’s nothing to do.

We don’t know anyone here,
and we never go anywhere.

I’m alone all day, and when you
come home, what do you do?

Watch TV.

Right. So, what would you
want us to do instead?

Back in Sotkamo, we had so many
parties to go to. Lots of acquaintances.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. But you were the
one who wanted to move here.

I told you back then that it’d be a
lot harder to make friends and meet people here.

You haven't even tried.

- He thinks that such a
task suits a Finnish soldier perfectly.

This is the best possible advanced
training for a professional soldier.
- It is Lasse.

You gain invaluable experience here. Our country also gains international
respect, and the significance of that is hard to measure.

The Defense Forces commander’s visit to Lebanon has once again sparked the question of whether
the number of UN troops should be increased, possibly at the expense of development aid.

Hopefully, Raija and Risto had TV on.

- This topic will surely be discussed next
week when the government addresses the matter.

The boy speaks quite sensibly
for someone so young.

Even Raija would’ve accepted that.

- Resigning Foreign Minister Kalevi Sorsa is
interested in becoming Speaker of Parliament...

Hey! We haven’t visited them in ages.

No, we haven’t, and you
haven't invited them over either.

I haven’t, since I have this feeling
they don’t want to go anywhere together.

Oh, really?

- The current situation arose when Foreign Minister
Sorsa decided to make room in the government...

Hey, were you already asleep?

I was. But it’s okay.

Can I stay here tonight?

I can’t go home right now.

Come on in.

Erkki!

Couldn’t you lie down next to me?

I don’t want to sleep alone tonight.

So, are you saying you want me
to come lie down next to you?

Yes, I mean it.

No, listen...

What?

The lights.

Oh, right.

I was at the sauna cabin.

You’ve started drinking again!

Look, no one saw me.

When that Helsinki master came, I...

I stayed so quiet.

You should’ve been beaten,
for God’s sake!

With a log, damn it!

Don't yell, be quiet!

How can you do this to us?

How do you think we’re supposed
to survive all of this?

Tomorrow the development fund business inspector,
and everyone else is coming.

The farm and everything will be gone
soon because of your damn drinking!

Antti, let’s try to calm down now.

You’re a drunk, and that’s
how you’re going to stay!

Where are my nitroglycerin pills?

Where’s the bottle?

In the bedroom!

The Development Area Fund?

Damn it, if only I could still
beat the hell out of you!

I need to call Eeva in Tampere.

CEO Risto Metsola?

Yes.

Process server, good morning.

Good morning, please come in.

I have this summons for you;
if you could just sign here.

A summons? What kind of summons?

Just sign here, please.

What is this?

You’ll find out from the documents.

There you go. Thank you, goodbye.

Goodbye.

Bankruptcy application.

Goddammit.

For f*ck’s sake.

Should've we informed that
we're coming, after all?

No, it's fun to surprise people.

It's not even a long way there.

No, of course not. Just
few hundreds of kilometers.

But you still don't need to drive fast. I'm always a bit afraid,
that someone pulls out from a side road in front of you.

Well, I'm not driving fast.

But I can drive slower, so I
can spend more time alone with you.

It's Erkki Metsola here. Hello.

Could you send a car?

To Leppävaara.

Yeah, thanks.

Excuse me, Metsola?

How’s Dad doing?

You’re sober?

Well, as sober as you can
be after a three-day bender.

Dad’s blockage went deeper.

Now he’s lying in intensive
care, hooked to machines.

I called Jaana.

She promised to come.

Then I took care of
the milking and called Eeva.

I couldn’t reach her.

Erkki, how could you?

You’d been sober for so long.

I’m an alcoholic, you know that.

You don’t believe it, but...

One single glass of champagne at the
municipal leader’s place set me off.

I can’t drink at all.

Sorry.

I'm not doing this to
anyone out of malice.

Hey Jaakko, bring the
hairdryer while you're there.

- Yeah, I will.

I'm in a big hurry.

Listen, I could come to
Kajaani via Helsinki by plane.

If I'm needed there anyway.

Now we could use Eeva's help more.

You're just on the way there.

And now that Risto is coming here
and he can't go right now either.

Why was Risto calling you?
Why he can't go?

Nothing, just business worries.

He wants to talk.

He should also ease up on
the workload and relax more.

Yeah, relax and relax. Have
a nice trip honey.

Bye, bye.

- Say hello...
One more thing.

Hide that Risto's old painting.

Otherwise we’ll have to hang
it on the wall.

I’ll take it right away.

Goodbye.

Bye bye.

I don't understand this.

How can the provincial tax office just
put me into bankruptcy like that?

Yes, they can, you know.

Tax enforcement is tricky business, they can
seize assets without any court decision.

But I’ve always paid all my taxes!

Except, of course, those that
belonged to the previous owner.

Well, I haven’t paid those, of course.

Yeah, but you should
have just paid them.

Then you could have contested the issue and demanded
Nylund to pay it back to the company.

What does this mean?

Why haven’t you paid taxes on all those salary
earnings you’ve paid to some of the employees?

Hasn’t the tax auditor
told you anything?

No.

Jaakko, hey.

But this claim that there are
1.5 million in unpaid taxes...

That’s not true.

It might be this way.

But the tax authority always adds a little extra, so they can
act as the main creditor, deciding and determining who the trustee is.

Is this going to be a bankruptcy?

Will it?

Definitely.

How can you avoid it now?

God dammit.

It’s pretty hard to explain this
to the bank’s board of directors.

Alright. The worst seems to be over now.

But it was a clear stroke.

You could go visit now, but preferably
one at a time. He's terribly tired.

And nothing that might upset him.

You just go mom. It might be
better, if I don't come there.

And I need to visit home,
washing myself ja shaving beard.

Before the Department Area
Fund business investigator comes.

Have you slept at all either?

You look so tired.

Well, yes, I’ve been
sleeping quite well, actually.

I should go.

Take good care of my father.

You take care of yourself.

Alright, it looks good.

I won’t bother you anymore.

You really did scared me.

Well, I also started thinking this
was all over for now.

How are you holding up now?

Well, we’ve managed better before.

Your heart can’t handle stuff like that.

It can handle it. It’ll last
as long as I live.

Good boy.

Eeva's boy.

Let's just grab coats and take
other stuff later. - Yeah.

Look, Jaana’s here too.

Here’s our kitchen.

Let's go to the other side.

Here’s the living room.

I wonder why no one’s here?

Mom!

Mom never leaves the beds undone.

Let's go check the barn.

Jaana, how come you’re
here? Where’s mom?

Well, in these papers, it
looks pretty good, but...

We in the Development
Area Fund know that...

This will only be the
beginning for additional funding.

But we didn’t mean it that way.

Well, I’ll only believe it
when I see it.

This plan is missing things like
vacation cabins, hotels, restaurants, and...

What else will you come up with?

We haven’t even thought of
a hotel or restaurant.

Well, if you haven’t, that’s even worse.

From experience, we know that if
and when a lift is built,

it will automatically create a need for accommodations,
so that there would be these lift users.

Then there is a need for a
place to eat, high quality restaurant.

Cafes, service buildings.

Well, it's of course good that way. It
would bring companies and jobs to the municipality.

Yes, yes. But in the Development Area
Fund, our job is to find out

what happens later to these projects,
that we grant additional grants for.

And in this case... and I would
say, it doesn't even take long

until you're knocking additional funding for hotel, and
today it would cost about 10-15 millions, minimum.

But it is, as far as
I have understood this matter correctly

that the Development Area Fund should help
creating new jobs by granting loans.

Ministry of Trade & Industry and Tourism
Development Center issue favorable or negative statements.

But in this case the Ministry of Trade &
Industry and Tourism Development Center have issued favorable statements.

And the Ministry of Trade &
Industry significant grants in addition.

Development Area Fund is a separate association,
which makes their own decisions. Necessary decisions.

Of course, of course. Political decision makers are the
ones who give you guide... guidelines... Excuse me...

Yeah, well...

What kind of an statement can we expect?

Well that you can read once it's ready.

This project isn't a clear case.

Mom has left us.

The company goes bankrupt.

Everything will be lost now.

Home, house, everything.

Oh, poor Liisa...

That's why mom left?

No

Mom didn't know anything about it.

At least not about the backruptsy.

Jaakko says, that there's
nothing to be done.

What are we gonna do now?

I was thinking about going to Leppävaara, but
what if I stayed for a little while?

It was a luck, that dad
got to treatment in time.

However, big part of dad's
myocard is now damaged.

Isn't there any medicine for that?

So far, no.

Dad would need to get to
bypass surgery as soon as possible.

There's just long queues for those.

Many has to wait even for many years and I
don't know if dad can hold on so long.

You really don't have any connections?

Dad has to get past the queue.

Well, I don't have any
chance to use some connections.

If it would be possible, there wouldn't be time to
operate anyone else, expect doctors' relatives in this country.

With big money, you can get to some private
clinic or abroad, but it costs a fortune.

I wonder how long dad
needs to stay there now?

Well, I don't know.

May need to stay for a long.

I'm just saying, that now the
commands will change in this house.

You and dad are going to sit on the bench. And
Erkki will watch, that you stay there.

Stigu, how about we
start heating the sauna?

Why this late?

At least I'm in need of that.

And I also need to test this coming
brother-in-law, whether he's a sauna man or not.

- Well, it's fine for me.

- I'll go get some wood.

- I talked with
mom, about what happened.

- Yeah...

- If there was a
way to make it undone...

The head is such, that it won't leave me
alone, when it gets a taste of liquor.

It's a one glass and it gets off...

No matter how much you
try to watch for yourself...

...accidents happen.

I do understand.

You haven't tought about going to rehab?

You do understand, that it's a sickness?

I quess I'm an alcoholistic.

Where ever it comes from.

There can whatever reasons for that.

organic, hereditary
or psychological.

Shameness and all the judging.

Or then just simply a habit.

I quess the worst is,
when the sickness causes sickness.

Listen.

Can you get me such an antabus capsule?

To this arm.

The kind, that if you drink...

you get such a shock,
that you don't drink anymore.

Oh, Stigu.
- Hi.

Is the sauna warm already?

I think it starts to be.

Hey...

Try to cheer up Erkki a
bit. He is, you know...?

Bye.

Yeah, that father’s episode came
at a really bad time.

Although he’s been bad before.

But he’s still managed to take
care of things at the barn.

Well, from what I understood from Eeva, it
seems like all the work is done now.

The worst part is the animals.

They need care.

And you can't leave all that to Mom.

So what are you thinking of doing?

If only I knew.

Listen, I think you should boldly suggest to
them that they give up the animals.

Make them understand that there really
is no other option anymore.

It was really nice that
you managed to visit here.

Well, actually, I’m
still interested in...

...just the possibility of a loan.

For example, to build
a larger holiday village.

You mean, alongside this
specific hill, right?

Yes, or...

...maybe it would be better if this hill
were on the other side of the mountain.

You take also?

For you too.

Hey, I know. Let's organize you
a real old-fashioned Mid-summer wedding.

No, let's not. Just some small-scale
thing, for example in Tampere.

Something where only family
would be present.

That’s out of the question.

...

The wedding will be
held here in Leppävaara.

We want to arrange a proper
wedding for you, with Dad.

Oh, Mom, listen, Dad won’t
organize anything for a while.

Besides, it would be so much work for you
that I won’t agree to it in any case.

When Mom and I handle the arrangements, Dad
will surely feel better when he knows.

Good morning.

- Good morning.

How are we doing here?

Well.

We are still alive here.

What do the meters say?

It looks much better now.

I see.

Well, doesn’t this mean I could
be disconnected from this machine soon?

We still need to get some data from
Antti with the help of this machine.

Starting to get bored alreaady?

Yeah.

Wouldn’t it be time to
give up the animals now?

That’s out of the question.

How would we live without cows?

Think about it.

It’s clear that Dad can’t
help with barn chores anymore.

And I can’t be there either, now that
I have so many of my own tasks.

Actually, there are
now other possibilities.

Now that the slope is almost finished.

Other possibilities?

Do you mean that Leppävaara
farm is somehow involved?

Yes.

That’s what I’ve been thinking about.

I don’t understand anything about that.

We’ll have to talk about
it when Dad gets here.

We’ll discuss it with Dad.

Dad can’t be burdened with
matters like this right now.

Dad definitely shouldn’t
stress about things.

Well, we can’t even afford
to participate in that.

Let me explain.

We need to make space for
200 caravans alongside the hill.

I've been thinking...

... that those caravan spots could
be build on Leppävaara's land.

So, practically, out there on the field.

On the field?

If something is built on the field.

But then, they couldn’t have cows.

You can’t do that.

Let me explain this.

When people come here.

From the south, and
from everywhere else too.

They want to rent those caravan spots.

Well, a caravan spot rents for
700-1000 marks for the entire season.

I mean per caravan.

That makes a lot of money.

Yeah.

About 200,000 marks a year.

That should cover a few cows.

And it would be much easier.

No need to milk twice a day.

And grow feed crops.

I know.

Let’s establish a
Leppävaara corporation.

We can’t decide anything right now.

Let’s talk when Dad gets home.

Mom, listen, I could write you a prescription and refer you to
the hospital to finally check out what’s wrong with your back.

Oh, that would be good.

But I can’t go anywhere.

By the way, this will be my
first prescription as a licensed doctor.

I should do like Antti did.

When Heikki graduated and brought
home the first machinery sketch.

Antti put it in the frame,
and it’s still hanging there.

Just take the prescription to the pharmacy. It’ll be
much more useful there than hanging on this wall.

Besides, the attic is full of Risto’s paintings,
but none of them are on the wall.

Nobody understands anything about them.

How is Erkki doing?

Busy. Just like always. Filling
in for the project.

But he’ll be fine again, right?

Yeah, yeah.

I see. So it’s happened that
you two have become a couple.

It’s a shame that I’m not home.

Just get yourself sorted out. When you
get home, we’ll come visit you again.

And then we’ll have the wedding.

Yeah. Then we’ll have the
wedding. A real old-fashioned one.

We’ll make a couple of barrels of sahti.

Put half sugar and half nitrate in one.

That’ll definitely hit you in the head,
and not bad for a heart.

I can’t stand all this
fussing about the old-fashion wedding.

What fussing? It's a good idea.

Oh, don’t you start too.

Well, what? They just want that.
I’d like to have it too.

They’re old and sick, they can't
arrange some wedding for us.

Well, if that’s the problem, you’ll arrange
a two-week rehabilitation vacation for them.

Right before Midsummer.

That’s not possible.

And at the same time, we’ll
finish everything for the wedding.

That’s not possible.

Why not?

I want to see the person who can get
Mom to leave the cows for two weeks.

Well, then we’ll arrange a rehabilitation
vacation for the cows too.

Take a bit more to the left still!

Yeah.

There!

There!

And the lift there.
