"And above all, capable of working together with others, - outdoing ourselves." "Content people don't have to be motivated." "My employer doesn't have to motivate me - because I like what I do." "Where does contentment come from?" "Where does happiness come from then?" "I'll die if I lose another child." "I'm sure of that." "But it won't necessarily happen again." "Sudden infant death is not hereditary." "Of course it can happen again, dammit." "Of course it can, but it's extremely unlikely." "Timo thinks a new child will fix everything." "That it would replace Santtu." "I have to break this cycle." " What do you mean?" "Maybe it was meant to be." "Maybe Timo and I are not meant to be a couple." "Maybe Santtu's death was a sign."

"And I had to pay because Anu blamed me for it." "Looks like you've accomplished a lot." "Why don't you move my bed too while you're at it." "I want it on this side." "I always wanted it here, but Juhani didn't." " Okay." "It's been a long time since my bed has seen - what men and women have been doing since the beginning of time." "What's wrong with you men?" "I'm not the only woman who has experienced this." "Don't generalize." "I can't identify with that problem." "My partners complain of the opposite." "Well, but you're every woman's dream, Pekka." "I wish Juhani had more of you in him." "So you stopped satisfying her?" "As a therapist, you should know that a real man doesn't do that." "Okay, I'll shut up." "I know you're on the rebound." "You're vulnerable." "Not all marriages end with a bang." "Some end with a whimper." "My relationships always ended in an explosion." "That's right." "There's got to be blood and broken glass."

"I'm sorry." "I can't do this." "Hey, that's okay." "I already apologized." "That was just my wife." "You said you were divorced!" " Yes." "Technically I am." "There's just this little arrangement." "How dare you?" "We agreed we wouldn't bring anyone here!" "Get the hell out!" "Get out!" " I'm going..." "Go!" "Go!" "I called the fire department." "Is everything alright?" "Yeah." "Thanks." "The fire is over there." "What happened?" "I accidentally dropped a cigar in that bush." "How can a bush be so dry." "We'll take it from here." " Okay." "Why don't you go inside." " Okay." "Stay inside, will you?" " Okay." "Sure." "The fire was over there." " Thanks." "There were flames." " Morning." "Why?" "Tell me why." "Why do you want to hurt me?" "How can you fuck a stranger in our home - when you haven't had sex with me in years?" "Right." "Don't say anything." "Maybe I don't want you - because you've become so superficial, selfish and unfeminine." "Is that what I've become?" "And when did you become - such an impotent, unmasculine, fat piece of shit?"

"My mother lives in Estonia, and you don't even know what she looks like." "Your mother runs a prostitution ring." " There's nothing I can do about that." "You'll move out tomorrow!" "Go stay with that fucking Pekka." "I'm not going anywhere." "You can go to hell." " This is my home." "We haven't bought this house with your money, that's for sure." "I thought we could do this in a civilized manner." "Why did you fuck that slut then?" "Don't call her names when you don't even know her." "Aww, how sweet." ""When you don't even know her."" ""No new sluts." Right?" "What the hell does it matter what I do?" "We're divorced, for fuck's sake!" "You're the one peeping in on me." " I just happened to see you." "How would you like me to stuff this down your throat?" " You were peeping." "How would you like me to stuff this down your throat?" "You're going to hit me again?" "What if I fucked somebody in front of you?" "I'm sure you'd like watching, since doing isn't your thing." " Right." "Now I got it." "There's something gay about you." "You'd like to watch a real man fuck me?" "You think I don't know you cheated on me?" "How many men were there?" "I've never cheated on you even though I've had good reason." "I can see it in your face, you..." "Okay, let's stop." " Let's not!" "Not even divorce can justify this..." " Don't change the subject!" "Say what's on your mind for once, you eunuch!"

" That's okay." "You need a ride?" "I guess you don't remember me." "We spent a night together at the ski resort in April." "Remember?" " Sure." "How's it going?" " I'm fine." "I mean I'm really good." "I was thinking that..." "Would you like to have dinner at my place?" "Dinner?" "= Yes." "Aren't you married?" " I was married." "How about tomorrow?" "I live in Kuusisaari." "I'll come flying." "Just as long as you come." "Hands off!" "I'm having someone over for dinner." "You can decide if you want to be here when I fuck his brains out - or if you'd rather go to a hotel or to that fucking Pekka's house." "Do you really have to be so crude?" "Who is he?" "That's none of business." " Yes, it is." "He could steal something." " Like what?" "Your stinking DVDs?" "We had a deal." " Did you abide by it last night?" ""No new sluts."" " I'm sorry." "I don't know what got into me." " I know exactly what got into you." "And I know what might get into me tonight too." "Ten more minutes." "Let the sweat wash our sins away." "I feel ashamed about last night." " Why?" "Sanna gave you a gift." "Just accept it." "Thanks to her, your rebound will be over quicker." "Tuula said she invited someone over for dinner." "You think she's lying?" "Why would she?" " It's pretty quick, if you ask me." "It's not the first time she's got her oven hot for him." "Juhani." "Seriously, as a friend, grow up." "Escape." "Leave the house." "And don't look back." "Let Tuula fuck her brains out." "Hi." "So you actually came flying." " I said I would." "Should we get started right away..." "eating, I mean." "Give Tuula a taste of her own medicine." "Oh no." "I'd have to come home with a really beautiful woman." "Tuula could watch when I do her..." "Christ, what am I thinking..." "How come I'm so upset?" "I should be happy I got rid of her." "That's a great idea." "Give Wolffi a call." " Hell, no." "Is he still pimping?" " I don't know." "Why?" "You said you want to get some revenge." "It's a great idea." "I don't think I can fly after this." " Well, you don't have to." "You've got to be kidding." " No, I'm serious." "Let go!" "Let go!" "Go away, doggy." "You know this guy?" " Yeah, I do." "Unfortunately." "Rico, come here!" "Go back to Daddy!" "I'm sorry." "Maybe we should go inside." " Sure." "It's me, Juhani." "Juhani who?" "Juhani Helin." "Your stepbrother." " What?" "Oh, my stepbrother Juhani!" "How's it going?" "I need a small favor." " A favor?" "Let's not talk about favors on the phone." "Meet me in Big Baba in an hour." "I'll tell the guy at the door to let you in." " Okay." "Err..." "What?" " I'm sorry." "I can't do this." " What?" "Hi." " Get back here, or I'll rip you apart." "Where do you think you're going?" "It's ten to get in." "I'm sorry." "Sure." "Here you go." "Is Wolffi here already?" "You're Juhani?" " Yes, I am." "Juhani Helin." "He's downstairs." "You think I'm a psychic?" "Damn, it's you." "You've grown." " That's right." "Hey, you've been avoiding me." " No, I haven't." "I've been eating." "C'mon, just admit it." "You and Tuula want to keep a healthy distance." "That's okay." "Hello." " This is Kitty, my lovely wife." "Eemeli's mother." " Wolffi has mentioned you." "Niilo is your father too." " That's right." "Please excuse us." "Juhani and I need to talk." "Something to drink?" " Sure." "When did you get married?" " Five years ago." "After I got out of prison." " What did you do time for?" "Juhani, the past is the past." "I'm sure you didn't come here for a happy reunion." "What's up?" " We're getting divorced." "My condolences." "Is there anything I can do?" "Does she have a new man?" "The guy at the door will be happy to discuss family affairs with him." "No, it's nothing like that." " What then?" "I need a woman." " No kidding." "A beautiful woman." "An innocent-looking, sane Finnish woman." "Does she need to have sex with you?" " No." "No, she doesn't." "What then?" "I want her to move into our house for a while." "And pretend she's my girlfriend, so Tuula moves out." "I guess you're not the average boring guy I thought you were." "Well?" " For how long?" "A week." " It'll be a grand a day." "Okay, I'll give you a discount." "6,000 cash." " Done." "You make that much listening to people whine about their relationships?" "No, I definitely don't." "A toast to that." "Let's go take a look." "If Yrsa or one of her guys asks about me, tell them I've moved to Argentina." "Yrsa's in town?" " It wouldn't surprise me." "Isn't Yrsa Tuula's mother?" " Yes, she is." "Well, look at you." "You seem to be doing great." "What?" " Never mind." "The driver is a bald dumpy guy, about 3 5." " Yeah, I saw him." "I saw the same guy at the gym." "I heard him talk about Wolffi." "He might be the missing link." "Wolffi might be his front man." "Have you seen Dad lately?" " No." "He's changed a lot now that he's gotten old." "He often babysits Eemeli." " Wow." "He hasn't touched drugs for years as far as I know." "You know what's the shittiest part in my job?" "Guys who just want to get laid." "Cops are nothing compared to them." " Right." "To them, whores are nothing but objects." "A philosopher's mind in a pimp's body." "Don't fuck with me, kiddo, or I'll kick your ass." "Go in." "But don't cause any trouble." "He's going to Nina's place." "The other one is going into the Golden Palm Tree." "A small beer." "Hi." " Hi." "There's no one here." "And I won't have sex with you either." "Get it?" "Have I asked for it?" " Not yet." "I need to talk to you about something important." "Yrsa knows you were with Natalia when she died." "Someone killed her and took the money." "81 ,500." "It wasn't me." " It doesn't matter." "If Yrsa thinks it was, they're going to come looking for you." "Yrsa has no choice, or the mob will get her." "I don't know anything about any money." " I got that." "You have to go into hiding." "I've got a great idea." "Listen." " No..." "You have to." "We're playing rough now." "If you can call this playing." "I understand that." " No, I don't think you do." "You never understood anything." "Nina, I can't protect you if you stay here." " I don't need protection." "Dammit, I've found you a hiding place." "And you'll get paid for it." "Hi." " Hi." "I need a small favor." "I'll give you two grand." "This guy stood me up." "I'm a bit busy today." "How about tomorrow?" " Well..." "Tomorrow is another day." "You've got a cannon?" "What?" " A 9 mm." "I need to execute this guy." "Alright." " Oh hi." "Leave us." "We've got business." "Is that okay with you?" " Sure." "Have a nice evening." "Think about tomorrow, okay." " I will." "What the fuck was that?" " We were just discussing literature." "Everything's set." "Nina's all yours, starting tomorrow." " Thanks." "Just make sure you don't fall in love with her or start wanting sex." "That's not part of the deal." " Of course I won't." "You can go." "I'll stick around for a while." "Hey, buddy." "What are you doing tomorrow?" "Until death do you part." "I was only six when I saw my mother for the last time." "We were at the amusement park, and she bought me a cotton candy." "Why did she abandon me like that?" "How can anyone abandon a child like that?" "Maybe I'm just afraid of commitment." "Maybe I just can't fully give myself to another person." "Marjut." "Do you think I'm cold?" "Tuula." "No, you are not." "Stop feeling so guilty." "The divorce isn't your fault." "You don't have to feel ashamed for wanting love." "Tuula, you have nothing to be ashamed of." "We all want love." "Juhani should've given it to you." "My mom dated Juhani's father when they were young." "Did I ever tell you that?" " Yes, you did." "Their relationship never worked out." "They did drugs together or something." "Could it be - that their relationship contaminated my relationship with Juhani?" "Yeah." " Juhani and I tried to stay together - even though we weren't right for each other." "You weren't." "I mean, not perfectly right." "I'm sorry." "I'm just telling it as it is." "Why didn't you tell me before?" "Hasn't Wolffi come home yet?" " No." "Listen." "I think Eemeli has fever." "I tried to find a thermometer that would work." "We don't have one." " Feel his forehead." "I'll go get something for his fever." " He fell asleep at ten." "He hasn't eaten much." "Listen, Kitty." "Are you having problems with Wolffi?" " What do you mean?" "Are you?" "Wolffi has a crush on a girl." "Again." "I think he saw us." " But he doesn't know you." "Okay, the coast is clear." " Listen." "We need to talk." "I tried calling you several times." " I noticed." "Eemeli has fever." "Why didn't you answer?" "I had to sort things out with Juhani." "Nothing to concern yourself with." " Why couldn't you stay in Big Baba?" "Juhani wanted privacy." "He's going through some tough times." "He's the type of guy who doesn't divorce just like that." "What type of guy are you then?" " What?" "C'mon." "You know what type of guy I am." "I'm a good guy." "Right?" "And you're a good girl." "Juhani!" "You piece of shit!" "What did you do to my favorite chair?" "Me?" "Nothing." "Oh, that." "I'm sorry." "Yeah, what was that all about?" "My boyfriend is coming over tonight." "I don't want you here." "Your boyfriend?" " Right." "Why don't you go over to his place?" "You were there last night." " Right." "So did you fuck his brains out?" " That's none of your business." "My girlfriend is coming over too." "Your girlfriend?" " That's right." "Didn't she learn a lesson last time?" " This is a different one." "You've got to be kidding." " Sorry, but I'm not." "Hi, Marco." " Hi." "Sorry about yesterday." "I got scared or something." "I miss you." " Oh yeah?" "I'll be there in a couple of hours." "Hi there." "Finally." " Yeah." "Juhani, this is Nina." "Nina, this is Juhani." " Hi." "Wake up." " Oh yes." "Hi." "I'll leave you two to negotiate." "Everything okay?" "Err." "Well..." "Wolffi told me to..." " Not here." "Oh?" "Okay." "I thought you always had to pay in advance." " No." "You see, I've never bought a woman before." "You're not buying one now either." "You're buying my services." " Right." "Sit down, please." " Yeah." "Thanks." "So you need a girlfriend?" "Yeah." "I mean no." "Not like that." "Don't get me wrong." "My wife..." "I mean, I want my future ex-wife to think you're my girlfriend." "What?" " Usually it's the other way around." "Men don't want their wives to think I'm their girlfriend." "But it'll be a nice change of pace." " Great." "What's our story?" "What story?" " Like where we met." "That's the first thing your wife will ask." "Right." "Of course." "I see." "Of course." "I never thought about that." "Wolffi." "You have to understand I can't protect you much longer." "I can take care of myself." " I don't want anything to happen to you..." "No use playing the hypocrite." "...for Eemeli's sake." ""No use playing the hypocrite." Let me take care of this." "NO TRESPASSING" "Jussi!" "Dinner's ready." "Wash your hands first." "We'll go to Helsinki to find out what happened to Natalia and the money." "I'm afraid Tuula will notice that our feelings are not genuine." "I don't know if I can pretend that I've just fallen in love." "I can't even remember what it feels like." "Kiss me." "I'm serious." "Kiss me." "Stick your tongue in my mouth." "Look at me." " Yes." "Now kiss me." "C'mon!" "Kiss her, will you?" "Put your arm around me." "Quick." "That's the guy the dog chased around." "It's my ex-husband." " And who's that girl?" "Shouldn't we do something?" " Like what?" "Like what we practiced." "Please don't leave yet." "I've really got to go." "I promised Mom I would..." "Stay just a little while longer, please." "I'll make it up to you." "Oh." "Nina, this is Tuula." "We agreed you wouldn't be here when my new boyfriend is visiting." "Yes, we did." "It's just that they're fixing the plumbing in Nina's building." "We're going to live here for a couple of weeks." "The place looks lovely." " Thanks." "Juhani, come here for a minute, will you?" "Who is this girl?" "Where did you meet?" " On the internet." "On the internet?" "When did you have time to do that?" "There's this service, and it said we're almost a perfect match." "Take your perfect match and leave." "You're not staying here." "Downstairs is mine." "It says that in the rules." "Then Marco will move into my room." " C'mon..." "I guess you don't know Juhani that well, since you met online." "I do." "We've known each other a year now, right?" "I was one of his patients." " That's right." "A year?" "Juhani!" " Well, time flies." "Juhani cured my depression." "With love." "I see." "Let me tell you what kind of healer Juhani really is." "The other night he brought some slut home and healed her too." "And last night he went mad with the chainsaw." "He's been lying about you for a year now." "He's pathological." "You think he's had it easy?" "He suffered from your affairs." "That's right." " For heaven's sake." "I know you're young, but surely you're not that naive and stupid." " Tuula." "Take her away." " Tuula." "How did you turn into that?" "A patient fucker." "A wife beater!" " Stop it, will you?" "See?" "See what she's like." "She doesn't know how to discuss things." "Good luck with that." "You have to stay for at least one night." " Yeah." "I guess Mom will be fine with her TV." " We'll go heat the sauna." "1 - 0 ours, I guess." "What did you put in it?" " It's a secret." "So you really know how to cook?" " Yup." "Tuula doesn't know how to cook, so I've had to learn." "I ordered books through the internet." "And I watch cooking shows on TV even though most of them are horrible." "You could teach me." "I can't even make a macaroni casserole." "You learn by doing." "Although there are some basics." "Like in sex." " Oh yes." "That's right." "Sweet, salty, sour, bitter." "Umami." "Kiss me." " Is your husband watching?" "My ex-husband." "Remember that." "It's my turn to use the kitchen, so why don't you..." "Did you have a good sauna?" " Oh yes." "It'll get even steamier later tonight." "Don't get upset." "You can't get upset if you want her out." "I don't know what I want anymore." "But you still want me to stay?" " Yes." "And you want to get some revenge?" " Yes, I do want to get some revenge." "Don't drink!" "We have to be able to think straight." "Let's go to your room." " Why?" "I'll tell you later." "Where did they go?" "Moan!" " I can't." "We're just playing." " Yeah, but..." "Close your eyes." "Louder!" "Now we're coming!" "Let's go!" " Oh, yes." "It's too quiet." "What are you doing?" " I have to check something." "What are you doing?" " I'll be there in a minute." "Okay." "Rent a car and find the whore." "Wolffi must have warned her." "I'm guessing she's not home." "Or maybe that's exactly why she is there." "If you can't find her, follow Wolffi." "Sooner or later, he'll go see her." "No unnecessary violence, okay?" "Grandpa!" "Grandpa!" "Is it Grandpa?" "What a surprise." "What a surprise!" "How are you?" " Fine, thanks." "You want coffee?" "Here you go." "Where's Wolffi?" " At work, I guess." "You know where Nina is?" "Has Wolffi hidden her?" "I've tried asking him, but he won't say anything." "Are you sure they're having an affair?" " Pretty sure." "Yrsa, promise me Wolffi is safe." "You have Nina's cell number?" " No." "Grandpa!" "Grandpa!" " It's Niilo." "Are Niilo and Wolffi keeping in touch?" "Yes." "They're taking Eemeli to the amusement park today." "How's it going, little guy?" "I guess he must have changed since the last time I saw him." "Hello." "Hello." "Aging suits you." " Thanks." "You too." "Are you on vacation?" " Yes." "Funny running into you." "Yeah." "I have to go." " What..." "What's the hurry?" "It would've been nice to talk." "Next time." "Here's the money. 6,000." "Thanks." "You think I should hide it?" "You wife might snoop through your things." " True." "Absolutely true." "My wife hates my DVDs." "She'll never find it here." "I'm sorry, I haven't cleaned lately." "Hey, why don't we go roller-skating?" " No way." "I can't." "I once tried and almost got run over by a truck." "It might've been the best thing for everyone." " Nonsense." "I'll teach you." "I hope he hurts himself good." "Are you alright?" " Oh yeah." "I'm just stretching." "I don't know what to do anymore." " Tuula, cool down, okay." "Oh my God." "I totally understand you." "This is crazy." "Look..." "Mind if I get something to drink?" "Go ahead." " Should I get you something too?" "I have to take these off first." "Hi." " Hi." "The weather's perfect for flying." " Oh." "You want to test my machine?" " Sure, why not." "It would be lovely." "That's my juice." "Damn thief." "Tuula wouldn't let me have juice." " What?" "I'll go get some." " Oh, no." "Don't." "Let me take those off." "Tuula has a guest." " Another man?" "A woman." "Very lady-like." " Oh, it's Marjut." "She's a snake." "Tuula's best friend." "Hey, should we make love again?" " You want to?" "You don't answer your friends' calls anymore?" " Fuck off!" "Calm down." "I won't tell Tuula." "Pekka..." " Why don't you introduce me to your girlfriend." "She's sleeping." "Let's go wake her up." " I don't think so." "So, have you shared intimate moments?" " No." "Pekka, it's none of your business." " Yes, it is." "You're my best friend." "Your intimate moments are my business." "Wait a minute." "Who's that bewitchingly beautiful woman?" " Pekka, no!" "Introduce us." "You have to." "In the plane?" " No." "It looks good." "How does he..." "Marjut, meet Pekka Korpi." "A gynecologist and the biggest misogynist I know." "Tuula, you're flattering me." "So, how's the divorcing going?" "Stop." "Calm down." "It's me." "Why is your phone switched off?" "I have to be able to reach you." " Wasn't I supposed to be hiding?" "Who's going to find me here unless they follow you?" "I know when I'm being followed." "You have to leave the country." " And go where?" "My father's friend has a villa in Marbella." "It's a really nice place." "And you have money, too." " What money?" "C'mon." "Where is it?" "Is it here?" " There's no money." "C'mon, Nina." "We need to cool things off." "Go home and cool things off with your wife." "You got your eyes on Juhani's money now?" "C'mon, Wolffi." "Stop it." " Are you coming?" "No." "But you're going or I'll scream." "Fine." "It's your choice." "But it's not my fault if you die." "So you think motherhood is the ultimate goal in life?" "I'm sure your mom cooks for you." " She does." "She likes to clean, too." "But of course, for God's sake." "What's the meaning of life, if not motherhood?" "For me, it isn't work or traveling with my partner." "Our trips were pure hell." "Remember, Tuula?" " Were they?" "Crete." "Athens." " You just can't cope with the heat." "I wanted to say something..." " The meaning of life?" "What is it, if not the power of giving birth?" "That's the biggest, most beautiful thing in life." "I'd rather be a mother than the president of Nokia." "That I can believe." "Hi." "How's it going over here?" " Finally sensible male company." "I was just about to come get you." "Juhani, aren't you going to introduce your new love?" " No." "Okay, Pekka." "This is Nina." "You haven't met?" "Don't guys always introduce their mistresses to their friends?" "I'm sure you understand why Juhani hasn't introduced her to me." "You want me to get you a cider?" "Honey?" " "Honey?"" "Who is this sweet talker?" ""What do you want, woman?" That's what you used to say, right?" "No, I didn't." " Can I get you guys something?" "Make yourself useful and bring the white wine." "Juhani, what's going on here?" "Shockingly beautiful women!" "Tonight I'm going to have a rough one with Marjut." " You think she wants it?" "Of course." "Didn't you notice the way she looked at me?" "She gives me goose bumps." ""Life's but a walking shadow, - a poor player, that struts and frets his hour upon the stage, - and then is heard no more."" ""It is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing."" "William Shakespeare." "Let's toast to him." "Pekka, why don't we toast to divorce." "Isn't that what we're celebrating?" "Look who's here." "Go!" "Run to Daddy." "Daddy missed you." "Did you have a good time?" " Sure." "We had a blast waiting for you." "Sorry I'm late." "Let's go find a nice ride for you." " Sure." "He's a brave boy." " That's right." "I hope he won't be reckless, though." "It'll make life complicated." "What are you trying to say?" "How does that much money just disappear?" "I'm no psychic." " What are you going to do?" "I didn't take it, so I'm not paying." "I couldn't afford to even if I had." "Don't get mad, - but have you thought about making a living some other way?" " Yes." "Is it Niilo or Kitty talking now?" " It's me talking." "You've thought about it?" " I have." "You have to look after your family." " Look who's talking." "The ball is no longer in my court." "If anyone can break this cycle that's been going on forever, it's you." "I'm just a ball boy." "If you end up in jail again, you'll lose Eemeli." " I know." "It's up to you not to pass all this shit onto the next generation." "I'm trying." " Try not to get killed, okay." "What do you mean?" " Yrsa's here." "What?" "How do you know?" "I bumped into her in your hallway." " Okay." "Those two again." "From the east, maybe." " I knew it." "They're linked to fatso and his visit to Big Baba." "They're probably fatso's men." "Wolffi must be under surveillance." "I'm in love." " So am I." "You need to grow up." " Oh yeah?" "About 20 centimeters." "Raising men is a lot harder than bringing up kids." "Juhani is a good example of that." "Since we never had children, Juhani was able to act like one." "And do anything he wanted." "That's why he can't face life's problems." "Don't you say anything about children." " Why not?" "Are you the topic censor here?" "Stop." " I'll say whatever I want." "Child, child, child, child..." " Shut up." "You aborted our chance to raise a child." "Juhani, I never wanted a child." "I already had you." " I wanted a child." "Although I don't even know if it was mine." " Of course it was." ""Of course it was."" " Okay." "Fine." "It wasn't necessarily yours." "Of course I cheated on you!" "I forgive you." "I'm full of mercy." "How do you think a woman could go on for years without sex?" "If you had taken care of my garden, it wouldn't have grown wild." "You forced me to sleep in the sperm of all those men." "And then you tell me it's my fault." " You never slept with me." "I did." "Before you killed that child." "You aborted our child." "How can I sleep with a bitch who killed our baby?" "Don't be childish." " I'm not." "I'm childless." "Stop!" "Stop!" "Forget about it." "I'm here." "Let's go to bed." "I'm tired." "I'll stay." "I need to calm down." "I'll be waiting for you." "Why don't you have a little chat with Nina." "What?" " Go talk to her." "Marjut, you've restored my faith in women." "Big words, little man." "You're so horrible." "Cold, wise, arrogant, intelligent and beautiful." "I've never been with a midget before." "I can assure you that not everything about me is midget sized." "You're ruining the lawn." "Let's bury this marriage once and for all, for fuck's sake." "We owe it to each other." " For what?" "For the years we spent together." "What's this world coming to." "Everything is so sad." "Let's get out of here." "On my plane." "Nina, wake up." "How's it going here?" "Calm down." " Get out!" "Get out!" "Can't you even pick up a bimbo like that?" "I thought we were together." " Oh, c'mon." "Don't feed me that crap." "You wanted her all along." "She's just not into you." "You don't know everything I do." " Tell me." "What don't I know?" "Nina met a guy named Wolffi today." "They argued about some business." "Wolffi?" "Where?" "When?" "In your husband's room." "When you were outside with Marjut." "She's one of Wolffi's whores!" "I love you!" "Right." ""How weary, stale, flat and unprofitable seem to me - all the uses of this world!"" ""Fie on't!" "ah fie!"" ""'tis an unweeded garden, That grows to seed; - things rank and gross in nature possess it merely."" ""That it should come to this!"" "If that's the case, let's bury our marriage together." "You left me alone." " You did the same to me." "Everything is so sad." "It doesn't have to be." "Tiina." " What?" "Let's go before they get out of sight." "They won't." "I want that baby." "I do too, but it's not about wanting it." "I didn't mean that." "I meant we shouldn't give up." "Let's not give up then." "Deal?" " Deal." "Today is the day, you know." "Okay, quick then." "She must be Nina." "Tuula." "Promise me you won't say anything to Nina." "I know she's with you for money." " What?" "You hired her from Wolffi." "Poor baby." "You were so jealous." "Pumpkin." "But Nina and I are in love for real." " Isn't everyone here?" "Get dressed." "Take it easy." "Unit 5 5 1." " Get that." "Please respond." "This is Timo." "I called you." "They're on the beach." "Rico!" "Rico!" "Hands up!" "Freeze!" " Where did they go?" "Who?" " The others." "Where are they?" "Somewhere." "Go inside." "I'll check the beach." "And you." "Stay where you are!" "Stop it!" "Stop!" "Stop!" " Police!" "Freeze!" "Get up!" "Hands against the wall." "Move it!" "You too." "Against the wall." "Hi." "Where's Tuula?" " Against the wall!" "I just wanted revenge." "Oh, Wolffi." "Hi." "Nice house." " Shut up!" "Shoot it!" "Let me go!" "I haven't done anything!" "Alright, Nina." "Be a good girl and tell me where the money is." "I'm not Nina." "Mom." "Don't leave me here!" "It was an accident." "We were supposed to kidnap Nina." "Let me out of here." "You'd report us to the police." " No, I wouldn't." "Let me go." "Mom, let me go." "No games, okay." "Why?" "Tell me why." "How could you abandon a small child?" "You don't remember what I was like then." " I do." "You're my mom." "I thought you'd take care of me." "You don't remember what it was really like back then." "I haven't heard from you in thirty years." "I've only read about you in the papers." "We all pick the easiest road." "That's what you do, too." "You don't know shit about my life." "What were you doing there?" " Excuse me, where?" "You've been seen sneaking around the house." "What were you doing there?" " Oh there." "I was picking flowers for my brother's divorce party." "Did you give instructions to Nina?" "And check how she's doing?" "I'm doing fine, thanks." "By the way, how are they doing?" "You're Nina's pimp, right?" "Now I remember you." "Why did Wolffi come to the house?" " He's my brother." "He came over for our divorce party." " Seppala!" "By the way, how are you doing?" "I feel we've moved forward." "We've talked a lot." "I feel Timo understands me..." "Why did he come in through the garage?" "I don't know how he got in." "Wolffi is your little brother." "True?" " You know he is." "You're the ringleader." "And little brothers work for their big brothers, right?" "I'm not a criminal." "I'm a family therapist!" " We believe you." "For now." "Let us know if you hear anything." "For Tuula's sake." "Am I free to go then?" " Yes." "What happened?" "He's clearly hiding something." "It sounds a bit far-fetched that he'd be involved in Tuula's kidnapping." "Maybe there's something we still don't know." "What do we do with Wolffi?" "We don't have any evidence to hold him." "Why don't we let him go and keep him under surveillance." "What is it?" "Don't..." "Where's Eemeli?" " With the babysitter." "Juhani, have you heard from Tuula?" "You have to find out what happened to her." "How do I do that?" "Hey, everything's going to be okay!" "It's going to be okay!" "I'll take Marjut to my place." "Call me if you hear anything." "Hi." " Hi." "I guess we'll get going." "Is there anything I can do to help?" " No thanks, I'll be fine." "Juhani." "I'd like to talk to you." " About what?" "We haven't seen each other in ten years." " I have nothing to say to you." "You need a ride?" " I don't really want to go home." "I could take you to a hotel." "Yrsa won't do anything to Tuula, will she?" " I don't think so." "Juhani, I'm really sorry for everything that happened back then." "When I was young, the conditions..." " Yes, I remember the conditions!" "You promised you would take care of me after Mom died." "You didn't." "I just want to apologize." "I wish I had done things differently." "I know it doesn't help you now." "So do you want a ride?" " Yeah." "Juhani." "Buy a prepaid phone card." "Change the SIM card." "Call 04 1 55 5 4 34." "Who is this?" " If you call the police, Tuula dies." "Wait..." "Thanks." " Thanks." "Hello." "Juhani Helin." "Where's Tuula?" "Safe." "For now." "Can I talk to her?" " No." "But you can exchange Nina for Tuula." "I can't do that." " Why not?" "Because..." "I love Nina." " Nina is a whore." "Nina is a crazy whore who killed a woman for money." "I won't release her from her debt." "Call me in an hour." "I didn't kill her." "She was drunk, sitting on the window- sill having a smoke, when she fell." "Did you take the money?" "You think I took the money and killed her." " I don't." "Juhani, I've always been serious about you." "I want you to know that." "We can go into hiding somewhere." " I can't leave Tuula." "Call us a cab." "Thanks." "I lied to you." "I took the money." "But I didn't kill Natalia." "Do you believe me?" "Here's the money." "Buy your wife back." "Are you sure I want Tuula?" "I know you do." "Jussi, my son." "You look alike." "I hope you take better care of him than you did of me." "You're like a rat." " Thanks." "That's a hell of a nice thing to say." " You're scrappy." "You hiss." "Maybe it's good that I wasn't a better mom." "You've learned how to fight, how to survive." "I worked hard to get by in life." "I have a good life, and I don't need to see or hear about you." "That's what I'm proud of." "Damn proud." "I don't need anyone." "Don't touch me!" "Pumpkin wants you back." "You were completely wrong." " What do you mean?" "You do need people." "It's great to hear you say that." "Marco!" "Could you give me a ride?" "Whereto?" " It doesn't matter." "Will 6,000 get me to Mexico?" "It might." "Bring me the money." "Darling, if you were to go How I'd survive, I just don't know" "Without you, life is bleak and gray Like the weather on a cloudy day" "I offer my heart and nothing less I give you all that I possess" "Like a loving shadow you can depend I'll be at your side until the end" "I offer my heart and nothing less I give you all that I possess" "Like a loving shadow you can depend I'll be at your side until the end" "I treated you like a rose, it's true But all I got were thorns from you" "I guess those wounds Will never stop bleeding" "You broke my heart And yet it's still beating" "You had your fun and threw it away My heart was just a thing for play" "Darling, if you were to go How I'd survive, I just don't know" "Without you, life is bleak and gray Like the weather on a cloudy day" "I offer my heart and nothing less I give you all that I possess" "Like a loving shadow, you can depend I'll be at your side until the end" "Such a fire burning in your belly" "It makes me weak And turns my knees into jelly" "All I can do is love you truly" ""Go to hell" is what you said With that I nearly lost my head" "I thought for sure I'd soon be dead" "Translation by Aretta Vahala" "Proofreading, song lyrics by Rich Lyons"
