I mean...

I'm really bad at this. I'm sorry.

You're doing fine.

Is everything alright?

Who is it? - Riitta, your neighbor.

Can you help me?

Open the door!

- What do you want?

- Can I come in?

- Can you help me?

- No.

Riitta! Come back home! Right now!

- You f***ing whore!

- Relax.

You'll listen when I talk to you!

Got it?

You f***ing whore!

Say that you're a whore!

I'll teach you how to behave!

Yeah. That's what it's like.

It doesn't have to be.

Can't you leave him?

It's not that hard.

Make a decision. Just leave.

Does he often go into the cell

with drug addicts?

- Does he?

- Why don't you ask him.

What did you talk about?

- We'll go to this address tomorrow.

- Tomorrow?

That's when someone will be home.

Wait.

How did you find me?

I'll always find you.

Is she mine?

Is she healthy?

Buy something nice for yourself.

And for our little princess.

- What's her name?

- Alexandra.

Not a bad name.

- Are you clean?

- Yeah.

- You're not using?

- No.

- You look f***in' amazing.

- F*** off.

- I love you.

- I hate you.

Okay.

Are you leaving?

Just a little. Just a little.

I'll put her to bed.

Give her to me.

Let me hold her for a moment.

Let's give it a try.

Daddy's little princess.

Did you sleep at all?

Police! Freeze!

F***! F***ing sh*t!

Whose card did you swipe

to get all this stuff!

Kaski, dammit.

Are you going to bake something?

The name Mika Savela

mean anything to you? - No.

This photo was taken

before you sold Savela your stuff -

without proper user instructions.

I can't see anything.

Savela took it in one go

and had a bad trip.

He ran out into the cold

and almost froze to death.

His girlfriend wasn't as lucky.

She's dead.

- First of all...

- Who's selling to you?

You had those small bags

at your place. What was in them?

You had small bags, right?

You think Savela will remember you -

when he wakes up in the hospital?

- I have nothing to do...

No need to raise your voice.

- I didn't raise my voice.

- Just sit back.

Where do you get it?

- Do you use alcohol?

- No.

- Not at all'!

- No.

- Painkillers?

- No.

Nothing.

You know what'll happen if

the tests come back positive, right?

We'll have to consider putting

your daughter into foster care.

What about birth control?

You have a man,

a partner, in your life?

No.

- No man?

- No.

What the f*** are you doing here?

Are you going to search my bag

to see if I stole meds?

No.

How are you adapting?

- How's your apartment?

- It's perfect.

I got nice neighbors.

What do you want? - Call me.

- I don't have a phone.

- Sure you do.

I don't even have a bank account.

- I don't need help.

- Here's my number.

I want to take care of you.

I don't want

anyone to take care of me.

- I can protect you.

- Protect me?

You know who I'm talking about.

Pike, I mean it.

- You're not my dad.

- Thank God.

I started smoking pot

when I was thirteen.

I've sold myself

for a couple of grams of speed.

I'm not going back to that.

I gotta go. Yes. See ya.

- What's that?

- A car.

- Going somewhere?

- I gotta take care of some things.

Are you coming back?

I'll protect you.

I'm not going back to that.

We'll leave it all behind.

I left all that behind.

We'll leave it all behind.

I'll protect you.

We'll leave this sh*t behind.

I'll never make

another mistake again. You hear me?

I'll never make

another mistake again.

Were you waiting for me?

Yes.

Did you have other men?

No.

F*** off.

- Is she asleep?

- Yes.

Did you just drop by?

What made you come back home?

Did you bring a souvenir?

I have vitamin D in my ass.

You should go to Spain and get

some sun. You're so f***in' pale.

Halonen is a fat b*tch. I wonder

if he found a buyer for his toaster.

He expanded his product line

into stimulants.

What do you want?

You have time to mess around -

because someone else

did time for you.

Or did you come back

because you forgot something?

You want to do her?

Do you still get hard-ens?

You went to see Pike in prison.

Like... F***.

F*** you, Lalli.

Oh, I almost forgot.

From Halonen.

I'll go to my place and get my bag.

Everything's okay now.

It was the same old thing.

He served coffee and cookies.

You-hon.

- What's up, man?

- Not much.

You have a clearance sale

here or what?

It's pretty empty.

I guess the police took my stuff.

What do you guys want?

I have all kinds of stuff

in the basement.

- I've got flat screen TVs,

stereos and iPads. - iPads?

I heard you turned into

a real Doctor Snuggles -

and a f***in' candy man.

I don't know

where the junk comes from.

I only know where to get it and

how to pay... - Cut the crap.

I get the coordinates in my phone.

It's a different place every time.

I bring the money there.

Someone comes and gets the money.

I don't know where it goes.

You get it?

F***.

Halonen. What did you say?

Easy-

You let Halonen go?

- Yeah.

- Why?

- Insufficient evidence.

Insufficient?

The sh*t he's selling killed people.

I just told you:

nsufficient evidence.

Savela and his girlfriend's drug

tests came back negative. - So what?

You can kill a person

with detergent but it's not a drug.

- What do you get out of this'!

- You haven't answered me.

Did it bring back memories when

you got stabbed in the line of duty?

You can analyze the junkies

all you like, -

but I don't want to hear

a word about Freud.

Calm down.

I think we're done for today.

Who's that woman?

- What woman?

- 'What woman? '

You should be more careful, Kaski.

What are you up to? - What woman?

Pike. The dope whore.

She's a dope whore.

You have to be more careful.

What are doing?

You're seeing clients,

old buddies and a dope whore.

- What?

- You've been hit before.

- F*** you!

- You've been hit before.

Someone hit you

when you were a child.

That's why it brought back

memories. - F*** you!

You're afraid the same thing's

going to happen again.

Let's put it on the book.

Let's put it...

Hi.

- You left the door open.

- Yeah, we're getting a new TV.

It'll take hours

to set this TV up...

- Hi.

- Take the old TV away.

Don't step on the baby blanket.

- I didn't step on it.

- Don't f*** with her.

- You heard what I said?

- Yeah.

You f***in' monkey.

C'mon...

What is this f***ing cord for?

How did you get this?

From a knife.

You want me to call you a taxi?

I'm sorry.

Come on in.

Coffee? Beer? Tea?

- I'll have a beer, please.

- Okay.

Thanks.

Nice view.

So this is your watch tower.

When you spot a thief down there,

you can run after him.

It's so dark you'll only see

your reflection in the window.

Your boss thinks you get something

out of analyzing suspects.

He probably thinks you get the

coordinates of drug stashes. - What?

That's what he said. - Look around.

This is how "comfortably" I live.

He asked me to check

how comfortably you live. - I know.

You're not the first.

You could've hidden the money

in the Cayman Islands.

Right. - What kind of things
