01x01 - Tie kotiin

[bunniefuu]

Good day! -Good day.

What men and what's the subject of this
rehearsal? -We are measuring new road's direction.

But the new road begins from other side of
Urjanvaara... -The plans have changed.

Why? -Nature conservation reasons.
-Don't make me laugh! -Yes.

Lintuj?rvi is going to be conserved. -Why?
-There are birds there. -Oh really!

So because of some damn snipe the
road's going to be built over my fields!

Come on boys!

Collect your stuff and go away
from my field as soon as possible.

We are just doing what
we are told to do.

Whose deeds is this? -You should ask
from the city engineers. -I will.

And that's for sure!

If those equipment are still here
tomorrow, I'll smooth them over with Valmet.

He might really do it.

Why is he shouting to us?
-He is the owner of Lepp?vaara.

And that skier's, Erkki Metsola's, father.
-Oh that one.

That's the devil who he is.

What is the problem now?
-Guess!

Well? -Municipality is
constructing new road on our fields.

How come? -Right there!

Surely Kaukovaara's Kari is
involded in this.

He is that sort of notary and councillor!

What does this have to with Kari?
-He doesn't want the road on his fields.

So now they are moving the road on our
fields! For nature conservation reasons!

Soon there will be someone needing conservation!
-From your temperament, yes...

What? -No, nothing.
Just talking to myself...

Where is Erkki?
-At some club meeting.

It's hay-making season,
everybody should be home.

We have spent enough to sports already.

He has to go when they request.
Cannot slip from work like that.

There's been quite a lot of slipping.

Look, Wolf-Erkki!

It's summer now and things have started
to slip. Should put more grip.

Are you playing with me, huh?

You were still peeing in your pants,
when Erkki was bringing medals home.

By skiing! With skis!

Damn, hardware store's sellers are
sh**ting their mouths off...

though olympic winner sitting right there.
-Be quiet!

It was just bronze. Lost silver.
And in relay race.

Hi, what time is it already?
-Soon 11.

I gotta go...

Make space!

We gotta have meeting with
municipality engineers.

Show me now, what is going on.

This is Lepp?vaara. Here is this house,
and over here is grandma's cottage.

Isn't it? -Yes, yes.

Here is Urjanvaara and over here
is Kaukovaara's farm.

The new road was supposed to go from here,
past Urjanvaara and towards Lintuj?rvi.

But then it would go directly
over Kari's farmyard.

Kari doesn't want the road on
his yards, that's understandable.

Kari's yard! Is it right then to
build it over our fields!

See now. If the road goes from here...

half of the pastures and fields
remain on the other side of road.

And how much it's going to take away from fields?
Road's going to be 30-40 metres wide.

At least couple hectares.
Probably even more.

That's almost one fifth of
our fields. -Yes it is.

At least two cows have to go.

That's not ok. -That's correct.

And Mr. Kaukovaara gotta realize that also.

Take it easy now and drive carefully.

Forgot something? Eyeglasses?
-No. Just began to feel weak.

It's our responsibility, that
municipality's juniors get top coaching.

Listen now Kemppainen,
you are blaming for nothing.

I'm only guy from here, who has
made it to olympics.

And there will not be second,
if you kick me out.

Kemppainen.

I am not going to sign resignation.

If you resign me, you'll carry
the consequences.

Go on, I'll be fine.

I'll rest a bit and then again...

Eeva! Eeva!

There is phone call for you.

Thanks. I'm coming.

What? Dad? Really.

Yes it might be the heart,
if there're pains in the chest.

But no need to suspect infarct instantly.

Go to health care, they will find out.

Couldn't you come home this weekend?

Heikki is also coming with his family
from Sweden. Their holidays begins.

Would feel so safe,
if you were here.

Mum please, I really don't have time.

I have last exams soon,
need time to prepare.

And it's so awful far distance.

Ok. I call to Risto.
Let's see what he says.

Make sure that dad goes to health care.
Call me. Bye bye.

Kaisa, can you lend a mark?
-Call costs two marks. -Thanks.

Tero called in the morning. -I see.

This is Eeva Metsola, hello.
Is it possible to meet Risto Metsola?

Has this ended?

Yes it is!

Should arrive today to Matkahuolto.

Boys, where is the bundle?

Who called? -One Make.
-You mean me?

No...Tero. -Who is he?

Hessu's buddy,
actually my cousin.

Who do you really mean?
-My mum called.

Oh yeah?

I don't believe everything either.

What's up now? You leaving?
-Yes. Enough for me!

You got men in a row. Just call to
next one. I can advertise.

It was my mum!
I was in my thoughts.

So names went messed up?
-They are my buddies.

"Buddy" seems to be quite wide concept for you.
So I am just buddy also now. I mean I was... Bye!

f*cking dude!

sh*t!

I'm not going anywhere, healthy man!

Eeva said, that you should.
Just in case.

She knows,
she's almost a doctor already.

At least not with ambulance.

Let's go with taxi. -No!
With own car. -Ok then, let's go.

And where is Erkki?

Five kids we have raised and when
sometimes you would need some help, -

nobody is anywhere nearby.

Put the coat on. -Not me...
-Have to put the coat on!

Oh good people... -That's fine.

I take the wallet too.

There you are!
-Where then? -I was thinking where you vanished?

There was some business. -Here's your bottle.
Some cash too. -Nah, it's ok.

Here's so many in many...
-Take one at time!

What's taking so long?
-Coming! Don't hesitate.

And next day the rest.
-Gotta begin from somewhere.

Where are we going?
-To Kajaani for afternoon dance.

Risto, your sister asked to call
right away. -Which one? -Eeva.

Is "B?ttrefolk" available? -Yes.

Good that you came. Close the door please.

Sit. I have something to tell.

Risto Metsola, I'm leaving boss'
seat in a few years.

We are going to move to Spain with wife.

I should find appropriate person
to continue my tasks.

New boss has to be oriented to the tasks.

The person I chose begins as
assistant manager in July.

What does this thing have to do with me?
-We won't need supervisor anymore.

Hessu!

I have to go back home.
Wife's pregnant...

Mrs. Metsola, hello.
You still remember?

I am Helena, Kari Kaukovaara's sister.
Meril?inen's my surname nowadays.

Erkki's... -Yes I do remember. You moved
to Oulu and got married there.

Now we moved back to Hoikka.

Yes, we know everything here,
usually beforehand.

And when the man is vet,
everybody know him. -That's true.

I didn't find Antti's patient card.

When was here last time?
-Cannot recall.

It's been many years.

How is Antti...?
Is it serious?

Cannot say. The doctor is checking him.
It does not seem any critical.

So it doesn't seem critical? -No.

Let's fill out a new card while waiting.
When Antti was born?

Antti was born 28.1.1923 in Sakkola.

So Antti is now 64 years old. Next year
he's going to get national pension.

Sakkola... Where is it?
-In Karelia. Left behind the border.

As did many other places.
-Yes.

At the end of the w*r Antti was wounded
and ended up in Kajaani military hospital.

That's where we met. I was working there.

Was he wounded badly?
-No, slightly on the other leg.

This kind of carriage this time!
-Good lord! What...?

No worries. Just to prevent heart from
getting exhausted. -It was not heart infarct.

Doctor wants to monitor for couple of days.

Few days is enough,
then we can be certain.

Oh yeah, you could call to Sotkamo
to Jaana's husband, he knows the law.

He could examine that road thing,
since I cannot do it now.

Can we bother bank manager with
this sort of thing? -Yes of course.

And he is married with our daughter.

We should get some benefit from that man.

Perhaps they will benefit from
this also in the future.

Thank you. Let's do skin cleansing
on Wednesday at 2pm. -That's nice.

Have fun at the party.
-I will definitely. Bye bye.

Yohoo! Anybody home?

Jaana!

I had a terrible day: three skin
cleansings and one make up.

Your mum called. She had not reached you.

Take whiskey?
-Thanks, yes pour some.

We agreed, that we will
visit Lepp?vaara this weekend.

So let's go tomorrow.

No way! We were supposed to go
city manager's dinner party.

Your dad's got sick.
Not seriously, but anyway.

We don't have to go,
if it's not serious.

Think a bit, Antti is not young man
anymore. -Dad's not been sick ever before.

Yes that's true. But now he had got
moderate heart attack.

When? Today? -Yes.

I guess we have to go then.

I had got such a nice dress for the dinner...

There will be more parties.

Attention! -Don't scare me.

Hi, so you finally got on holidays.
-For a change yeah.

What are you doing?
-Sewing a button.

How's reserve officer school?
-Same old running.

Holiday's going to end on Sunday
and then we run again.

Where's mum? -I don't know.

Buongiorno!
You never guess what food!

One moment... Ostrich eggs?

Mamma mia! Spaghetti!
What a surpise! -Lovely! Spaghetti!

Raija! Come to eat!
-Thank you, I have eaten already.

Mum's little son has come home!

What's the point to lay on the beach
whole day and burn yourself like that?

When I was your age,
I was working every summer.

Couldn't afford to live like princess.

Well I could apply to be
pioneer camp leader.

Then I would be brown and pregnant.
-Liisa!

How is it going back home?

Eeva called. Grandpa had got
moderate heart attack.

What? -It's not serious.

Mum asked us to visit at weekend.
Did you hear, Raija? -Yes.

I have live broadcast.
I cannot come. You go.

Liisa might also get some tan on hayfield.
-Definitely I don't go.

I have got a date.
-You cancel it.

What is your problem?
-Silent, kids!

I have got another thing for you.
A big thing.

I'll be from now on... a boss!

Today I was appointed as firm's
assistant director.

Salary gets higher,
Will get firm's new car...

Great.
Let's get more "representative" house too.

How much your salary gets higher?
10 000 marks? -Liisa!

Congratulations, dad.
-If I was still in primary school,-

I could praise to everyone, that my dad
is boss. Wouldn't that be cool.

Speed just keeps accelerating...

Eeva! Come on already, we are going.
-I cannot. You just go.

Morning. Anything to report?
-No. Just personal stuff.

Any duty-free beverages?
-Only allowed amount.

Ok. Have a nice trip.

(In Swedish:)

Over 800 kilometres.

Not today anymore.
Tomorrow then.

My heart's been acting too.
Gotta rest.

If we come and get you, mum?
-No. -Come on.

Then no need to think of the food.

You would also see all grandchildren
at once. -Tomorrow then.

They are not going anywhere.

Antti will also get out from
health care tomorrow. -Hope so.

Mum, I need to go.

There are so many things to do,
when Antti is away.

If you change your mind...
-I'm welcome. I know.

Bye then. -Bye.

Hi. So you didn't come yesterday.
-I couldn't manage.

I have had quite high speed
lately. And otherwise...

I understand.
That Make... When you separated.

So are you studying
public relations nowadays, or?

Sorry. I heard, that he was
already engaged or something. -Make?

Oh, there you go. -What do you mean?
-He is free. As far as I'm concerned.

I gotta go. Bye.
-Is this your new guy? -No, my brother!

Bye! Have fun!

Hi girls. Is the bank manager in
his room? There you are!

Let's go. Girls, I'll be back
here on Monday. Bye!

Lintuj?rvi has been made nature reserve.
Nobody can get involved with it.

Many rare bird species nest there.

How can they do so?
-You mean birds? -No, the others.

They can do whatever. Nature conservation
activities will delay the roadworks anyways.

TVL has to look for alternative
routes for the road.

Can it be prevented with cash?
-Of course not.

All parties will be invited to a meeting.

Kari is happy. Road will not go over
his farmyard anymore. -That lout!

I go and see what's the current situation.
Come with me? -Not this time. I wait in car.

Jaana Metsola!

Born in 15.7.1956 in Kajaani.

Living single... Or is she?

Good day, teacher Ronkainen.

Well? -What well?

So yes: Does live.

I'm married. My name is J?rvenheimo
nowadays. -J?rvenheimo?

Not from around here. -No. My husband
is lawyer and works in a bank.

Jaana! What is such high society beauty
doing at this rural village?

And with such party...

Kaukovaara's young lord!
Please explain!

How are you involved with
the roadworks, Kari? -Roadworks?

This is going over my head...

My husband, lawyer J?rvenheimo,
is sorting it out in town hall.

What is this about? -Lawyer is
working in bank. Living in Kajaani.

Be quiet, Ronkainen.

Even if you k*lled me,
I wouldn't understand.

That road? -Correction. The road
that was supposed to go to Lintuj?rvi.

Luckily there is the Lintuj?rvi.

Otherwise the road would have gone
thru my farmyard. -So you admit!

I knew it that you are behind everything!
Now the road goes over our fields.

That I haven't planned. The road must go
somewhere. -The farm will go to pieces.

Might even have to end the farming.

So Kaukovaara should have been put to pieces?
You can sell the farm. There are buyers.

Yeah! You really got some plans!
Be careful that your fingers don't burn.

I haven't done anything ill*gal.
Say hi to your dad.

He is sick, I heard.
I can buy your farm.

Anyways Lepp?vaara used to be part of
Kaukovaara in old times.

So Lepp?vaara has been part of
Kaukovaara in old times...

(A dog is barking.)

Roni! Hi, son! How are you?

Hello! -Hi!

Greetings from dad.

We stopped by health care. Dad will
get out tomorrow. -That's nice!

Thank you for coming. It helped instantly.
-It helped, that you took dad to health care.

So it's not serious? -Heart disease
is always serious. This was a warning.

He should slow down and
try to control his temper.

Let's go for coffee. -At Korhonen
there was Arome on discount.

So I bought Colombia at normal price,
Arome is so watery, -

stale.
That's why it is so cheap.

Didn't get any more information.

Next they will arrange a meeting,
where all parties will be heard.

Cannot do any official calculations
or plans before that.

I'm against whole project!

Not even Devil's going to make it,
since they have started poking with fountain-pens.

Paper w*r!

Let's talk about this later.
Tomorrow, when you get home.

You cannot get upset, dad.
Relax and enjoy the rest.

Ok I will, I will.

You go now to mama.

I'll help you in cowshed.
You got lots of work. -Thank you.

Where is Erkki?

Have to feed the animals.

Has something happened? -No.
Erkki is at coaching.

He will come when have time.

Heikki came with his family also, but
they went directly to lakeside sauna.

They had a new caravan
-A caravan?

Yes, they got it just for this vacation.

Thank you. -Thanks.

Hi Eeva! -Hi!

Be careful not to get dirty.

You are still like professional.
-I don't understand how mum manages.

Well I guess.
But this goes well as parttime work.

Is studying tough? -Yes.

Sometimes I sit and study for many hours
but still don't remember anything.

Don't you with such clothes!

You should go out sometimes.
Get a nice man. Don't you have already?

No, I don't. Why? -You do other
sin too: smoke cigarettes...

Sometimes I go and have a beer.
And I have seen a man naked.

But I don't drink or do whoring around Tampere. And I
haven't smoked anymore either since began studying medicine.

You just go.
Mum has coffee ready.

I would like to help you. -This goes best
alone in this small space. Just go.

I didn't mean that.
I wanted to ask about dad.

About heart? -Yes.

It doesn't look as bad as I first thought.

Shouldn't dad and mum stop
working already? You are a doctor.

You should suggest that.

Dad has to slow down, but he shouldn't
remain in the bed either.

Many have remained there. -Oh,
so you think so. -I'm coming soon.

Here's the old suggested plan
for the road. And here's the new one.

Individual cannot do anything
about TVL's plans.

Same thing at Sweden.

We cannot do anything for the roadworks.

Thanks for helping with milking.

Kari Kaukovaara called and asked you to visit.

I wonder why Kari wants to talk to you?

I have no idea. I'll call and ask,
then we will know.

Kari has been interested in you,
isn't he?

What? Blushed.
-Is this that road plan?

Previous plan went from here.
Here's the new one. -Goes over the fields.

Grandma's cottage will be under the road!
Look!

Yes, it does. Should have
noticed that earlier.

Cannot do something like that.
Cannot build a road over someone's home.

TVL can.

Cottage is really old.

Couldn't museum bureau
put it under demolition denial?

I don't think it is valuable enough.

Birds are being protected and
grandmas are put on street!

-Lots of grandmas, but birds
are getting reduced.

World's gone strange.

And surely TVL hopes that talk will be
about side issues and not the main point.

Hey listen, I have a proposal. Since we
cannot do anything about TVL's plans..

Since situation is miserable.
Road will separate the farm in half.

Grandma's cottage will go as well.

Dad is sick and will turn 65 in January.

Mum is getting tired too.
Isn't it they have a right to rest?

What do you mean? -Nobody of us is
going to continue the farm business.

Let's sell everything.

Make life easier for all of us.

What do you think?

Does she say that we
have to leave the home?

Is that what she says? -Jaana does
not mean that. -Yes I do!

Let's sell the farm and take the money.
-You don't think at all!

Who would buy the farm?
-I know. Kari Kaukovaara.

So that what you were negotiating about
with him! -Trying to pull me into this?

How can you figure out
selfish sh*t like that!

You are going to sell the farm and don't ask
anything from Erkki. He is still living here!

There comes your Erkki.
Let's ask right away.

It's police car.
-What has happened?

Thanks, boys.
-Are you ok?

I'm always fine.
-Good.

Try to make it. -Drive carefully.

Does this happen often?
Does Erkki really drink a lot?

Hi...welcome.

So you mean this person would
continue running the farm?

Let's consider selling the farm.
-What?

Selling?

Are you selling my home?

And from dad and mom?

Listen now Jaana sister.

You are not going to sell
anything from here at all.

And not you.

Not you.

And not you either.

Nobody sells anything from here,
except grandma.

This is grandma's farm.

Yes, and partly mum's too.

Erkki! Erkki, go to rest now.

Nobody is selling anything. Tomorrow
need to collect the hay from fields.

Go now. -I'm going.

Goodbye!

And anyways: farm's value goes up
now that there will be road.

You know that there is going to be
highway built here?

Good night.
