MINE CLOSED:

NO ENTRY:

No point trying to earn your

bread around here anymore.

Don't stay here

to piss around.

Won't do you

a sh*t's worth of good.

You'll drink yourself silly

and just get frustrated.

Take the car keys.

It's your inheritance.

You always liked it

better than the others.

They're no good anyway.

If they don't stay here,...

...they'll go hang

themselves down south.

I've had it with this sh*t.

But don't follow my example.

This is sh*t too.

- How much?

- All of it.

74, 75, 76, 77, 78, 79... 8,000.

Thanks.

The evening comes on

with a low sigh

Lights come on

behind the windows

No one else

stays behind in the dark

As the lights drive away

The shadows of the night

I don't turn the lights on

I don't think

I need them now

You're my brightest light

Even brighter than I deserve

A hamburger.

Nice set of wheels.

Yeah.

What sort of eggbeater?

Eggbeater?

The engine.

I don't know.

Pop the hood.

Let's check it out.

Forklift drivers will be

Salminen, Niskanen,...

...Mattila, Tallstrm, Pesonen,...

...Laine, Markkula,...

...Jokinen, and Vaisanen.

And a few

not on forklifts:...

...you, you, and you.

You.

- Name?

- Kasurinen, Taisto.

256 marks.

Whose is this?

I found it on the trash bin.

Makkonen's. He got run over

by a forklift. Keep it.

Thanks.

Where do I sign?

Nowhere.

We borrowed your radio.

That's okay.

You know anywhere

I could spend the night?

I do.

Where?

- Give us a ride?

- Sure.

- Got any room?

- Bed or mattress?

- What's the difference?

- A bed's 30 marks a night.

A mattress is a little less.

You get no sheets.

A bed.

Hello.

Hello.

Hey, gimme

the funny pages.

Here.

Make up your mind.

I gotta go.

Good afternoon.

Sorry.

- Who do I complain to?

- To me, personally.

Is there anything I can do

to expedite this matter?

A dinner wouldn't hurt.

Fine. Let's go.

Not while I'm on duty.

I'll have to quit first.

It was a stupid cap anyway.

Thanks for the evening.

My first time in a convertible.

- The top doesn't work.

- I know.

It's dark.

Want to come up?

If it's not too much trouble.

Coffee's all I've got.

Coffee's fine.

I'm divorced.

- Don't let it get you down.

- I've got a kid too.

Gives us a head start

raising a famiIy.

Are you always so confident?

No, this is the first time.

- Just don't make any noise.

- No one will even suspect.

Really?

I hope I won't regret this.

Irmeli.

Taisto.

Nice to meet you.

Likewise.

I think we've met somewhere.

I saw you once in a bar.

Do your friends call you Tasi?

I have no friends.

Everybody has friends.

I'm from the countryside.

That's different.

Now you get the picture.

Was your husband a drunk?

No, he found someone else.

Where?

I don't remember.

The whole thing was a mistake.

I hated him from the start.

That's unusual.

That's what you think.

Will you disappear

in the morning?

No, we'll be together forever.

Good.

I start work early.

Good night.

Coffee.

Toast or crispbread?

Crispbread.

It's broken.

Mother said to call her.

Aren't you going to work?

METALWORKING JOBS

I can't come right now.

Come meet me here at 4:00.

Bye.

Found anything?

No. I'll have to keep on

at the docks if there's still work.

Can I see you tonight?

- No, I'm working.

Where?

Bank of Finland,

as a night guard.

I need the money.

The whole apartment was

furnished on installments.

You still owe a lot?

Nah, I'll be okay

in a couple years.

Nice wind.

I lost my dreams

and everything in life

I lost my dreams

because of you

Now I'm lost in my dreams

I hide from the world

I look out the window

and watch the rain come down

I miss you, my love

HOMELESS SHELTER

Kasurinen.

What?

You owe us for four nights.

I know,

but I have no money.

Go and get some.

How much do you want for it?

At least 20,000.

6,500.

That's all?

Nobody'd give any more

for a heap this old.

All right.

Leave the car here.

I'll have the money in the morning.

Mikkonen.

Good night.

- What were those?

- Sedatives.

What for?

Ask me again in a year.

What do you do normally?

What do you mean

by ''normally''?

I've always been here.

What will you do

when you get out?

Kasurinen.

You have a visitor.

Hello, Tasi.

Hello.

How are you, Tasi?

All right.

I've got a job.

- Go and play somewhere.

- Where?

In the hallway.

- Will you marry me?

- Here?

No, on the outside.

All right, but how?

You take care of the paperwork.

I'll come when I can.

You can't.

Listen, Mikkonen.

I don't think

I have a choice.

I'm thinking of getting

out of here soon.

I see.

How?

Don't know yet. Somehow.

Getting out is no big deal.

Lots of guys have done it.

But they were brought back...

...and ended up doing twice

as much time as before.

They stayed around here,

or went to Sweden,...

...or headed to the nearest

bar and got loaded.

You've got to get further away.

Italy or Africa,...

...at least for a while.

I've been thinking

about Mexico or Brazil.

Even better.

But that takes money.

You think I haven't planned it

all a hundred times?

First you need three grand

for a passport,...

...then ten more for the seamen

to hide you in the cargo...

...and let you off...

...somewhere around the equator.

But it's dangerous.

If the cargo starts

to shift in a storm.

Lots of guys

have died that way.

You gotta go underground...

...until you get a passport

and find the right ship.

How many years

do you have left?

Eight, for manslaughter.

But I'm innocent.

Are you?

At least in God's eyes.

In a way I did kill him,...

...but the truth is I didn't.

The result was the same:

He died...

and I was sent here.

AII right, let's go then.

I'm 37 now.

Eight more would make me

about 43, more or less.

But I won't last three hours

outside without killing somebody.

Kasurinen.

What?

You can take that mop

to bed with you tonight.

Why?

Pretend it's your wedding night.

Kasurinen, Taisto.

You can't see him now.
