Or once a big brother or sister,

always a big brother or sister.

Where could I get a microcar?

What?

It doesn't have to be new.

Just decent, safe, and cheap.

For Annika? - Yes.

I'm your man. I can get you

a good one for 5000.

Are they that expensive?

If you give 2000,

I will take care of the rest.

Now?

- Now or when you go to the bank.

Okay, but not a word to Sari

or Annika. - Of course not.

Paint over that graffiti!

Hey, this is German,

"die arsehole".

Or Italian. Look.

"Di arsehole".

I have the right to use it.

I'll look here.

Annika Marianne Luoto.

A savings account.

Can I see some ID? - Yes.

Here you go.

Thank you.

How much

do you want to withdraw?

Well, 2000.

Luoto, wait.

I'm glad I bumped into you.

Things are not looking good.

You haven't paid the interest.

Could you not try to pay? - Try?

It doesn't matter what I try -

when you have already decided.

- Decided what?

I'm not that stupid.

I saw you two.

Last time.

- What are you talking about?

Inappropriate behaviour

won't help you.

Well, what the f*** does?

Right.

Oh, hello. - Hello.

Is your daddy home?

What about mummy?

Are you alone?

- With Lotta.

With Lotta?

Can I talk to Lotta? - Yeah.

She can't talk yet.

- What the hell are you doing here?

Could you put some

potatoes to boil? - Yeah.

Wait outside. I have to feed them.

What is he doing here?

You can't get your way

by threatening.

I didn't mean anything.

I'd had a little to drink.

More than a little.

I sometimes lose my temper.

I'll paint it.

- It's been taken care of.

Will you go to the police?

- No, if you stop now.

As soon as you pay me.

- I have no money.

I can pay you a hundred now.

Let's say it's interest.

I'm doing my best, believe me.

I can't feed the kids

for long with a hundred.

Doesn't your wife work?

No, Mirkku died a year ago.

I'm sorry.

I promised to take care of the kids.

But my life has been

a bit messed up.

I got them back a little while

ago, and here we are again.

What do you mean?

- They were taken into care.

Now that I don't have work,

I don't know what will happen.

My kids are all I have.

If I lose them...

Jaatinen.

I'll try to think of something.

Luoto. We don't have

an appointment, do we?

I tried to explain,

but you don't seem to get it.

Do you understand this better?

I need that loan.

Put your

hands down and start writing.

Put 37000... No, 40000 euros.

Luoto, wait!

Put that bag down now!

Everyone else, on the floor!

Put that gun down now!

- Are you laughing at me?

Damn it! - Sami...

Santtu!

Sami!

It was a trial period,

and now it's finished.

Are you going bankrupt?

- Well, you're going now.

If Sari asks, you work here.

- Without pay?

You don't work here.

Did you go to the bank?

For Annika's microcar. I can get it,

even though you kicked me out.

That's only 1900.

- I said 2000.

Yeah, but that's only 1900.

Try to get a little discount.

Bloody hell.

Hi, are you on patrol?

Can you pick me up?

Have you had time to see

the microcars? - What?

DIE, ARSEHOLE

The international financial crisis

is affecting housing markets.

The number

of new properties sold -

has plunged to the level

of the 1990s'recession.

The selling of new properties

has dropped by a third since May.

Here in Ostrobothnia,

the viewings are quiet.

This apartment has been

on the market for a year...

Luoto? Sami Luoto?

- Yeah, yeah.

Stop! What are you doing?

Dad, can you hear me? Dad!

Mum, do something!

Say something. - I think I fell.

Where am I? - In a hospital.

What's happened?

- Some crazy man attacked you.

When?

- Don't you remember?

At home, in the evening.

- Oh yeah.

What time is it?

- Past midnight.

Don't.

I have a headache.

I can taste blood in my mouth.

Who was it?

- He didn't introduce himself.

Probably a wrong address.

Sari. - Yes?

Don't tell anyone.

- Why not?

I don't want to worry anyone.

- He invaded our home.

That's why. Promise me.

Good, good, good...

Yep, good thing, good thing...

What is?

- That you have a hard skull.

It doesn't feel like it. - Not now,

but you have a hard skull.

No fractures, blood clots,

or permanent damage.

I mean it doesn't always feel like

it's good to have a hard head.

Sari, you promised.

- She didn't know about flat tyres.

Darling, you can tell us.

- Is this a cross-examination?

Like I've done something wrong.

- Have you?

Are you now a copper or a brother?

I'm here as your brother

and Sari as your wife, so talk.

I didn't want to worry you.

I didn't know he was so messed up.

Who? - I had to fire a carpenter

because of his drinking.

Has he threatened you?

- Who is he?

His name is Jaatinen.

I promised I'd take him back if he

straightens up. Well, not anymore.

So it was Jaatinen who attacked you?

- No, he had asked a friend.

I will talk to him. - No.

I'll deal with him myself when

I get out. - I can't let you go.

Santtu and I will go together

on one condition. - Yes?

Not a word to mum and dad.

I slipped in the shower.

Whatever.

- Take Jere with you.

Why should we involve him?

- He's worked as security in Sweden.

Sari, never.

Where the f***

does that bloke live?

It's obligatory to use a seat belt

even in Finland. - Arrest me!

Have you tried to call him?

Did you leave a message?

It's better to talk in person.

I will leave him a message -

that'll make him run to the moon.

- We'll be there in a minute.

A garden plot with opportunities

none of which have been taken.

No one is home.

- This is what it was like in Sweden.

He's hiding under his blanket.

- Not necessarily...

Open the door, arsehole!

We know you're there!

Are you a man, a mouse,

or some kind of hamster?

Come out and we'll see!

- Stop! We'll come again.

He's there. The curtains

twitched! - You're imagining.

What kind of work

did you do in Sweden?

I doubt you made home visits

as a doctor. - All kinds.

Even a blind man

will get this message.

Goddamn you!

- Relax.

Now he knows not to

mess with us. - Us?

Do you think this will make

him leave Sami alone?

F***ing idiot.

- Nice that you joined us.

Absolutely great.

Sari, it's me!

Wasn't at home?

- It happens. We left a message.

He could be out there with a knife!

Calm down... - He could've

come here while you were out!

Calm down!

You're not involved!

We're your family!

- Why are you shouting?

I'm not! Your mum went

into overdrive. - Oh I did?

If you were a car...

- Me a car?

I mean... Sorry. Family hug?

- Family hug...

Do you think we can just hug

and everything will be okay?

Well, I... - "Well, I..." I don't

want you anywhere near me!

What is this now?

- I can't breathe!

From now on, you sleep on

the couch. - Isn't that a bit much?

I can't force

you to sleep on the floor.

When I look at you two...

- What?

I think I will never get married.

At least not to a man.

Right...

Hi, it's me.

- I can't hear anything.

It's Sami, hi...

Got you! Leave a message.
