I will call you... or not.

It's Sami.

I haven't heard from you.

I'm making sure Saturday

is going as planned. Call me.

That looks good. - Have some.

Would you like a drink?

Annika! Come here, please.

Have you heard from Jaatinen?

- No, I called Jere.

Have you seen Jere? - No.

Have you heard from him for a while?

- I've seen him almost every day.

What? - He comes

to our place during the day.

Why doesn't he answer my

messages? - You fired him!

So he's told you.

- Of course he has, unlike some.

Annika... Does your mother know?

- Yeah, he's her brother.

I'm going now. Bye!

Try to call Jere. - He'll come.

He keeps his promises.

So you went and fired Jere.

Didn't you consider Sari's feelings?

He's a d*ckhead, but a little

brother. - Unfortunately.

You deal with family issues well.

- I'm not listening to that.

Speaking of family...

Why did he bring that woman?

This is a family gathering.

Mother, Jutta is his family,

whether we like it or not.

What? - Your face.

You look like your father.

Hi! - Hi.

You look terrible.

- Thank you.

Jutta, give this to Annika.

Sami and I will talk a little.

I will come soon.

Well? - Understood.

How worried should I be about you?

- A lot has been going on.

If I remember right,

we already discussed this.

I have made some inquiries.

Your company is done.

Wow, that's a shock.

That's what I tried to tell you.

- Does Sari know?

Have you talked to Kaarina?

What? - Stop while you can.

Don't make yourself a victim

like Kaarina has. What?

Hi! - Grandad.

My favourite girl.

Mum wants you to show

the layout of the house.

I couldn't and mum

doesn't want to. Let's go.

Can we pretend

that we are doing fine?

Start already.

Dad, did you hear?

Speak already.

Start now!

Excuse me. I had a concussion.

My brain works a little slowly.

I haven't noticed any change.

- So...

This plot is 3000 square metres.

On that hill, we're building three

houses on 700 square metre plots.

And this thousand square meter

plot will have a brick house...

Hey, Jere is not coming.

Why doesn't he answer for me?

- Why did you fire him?

That's probably why he didn't come.

- Surely not!

You fired him just

as he was getting straight.

I fired him because...

- Because you've always disliked him?

Because he's unreliable

like we'vejust seen!

And look who's talking!

- Bloody hell!

Now you're blaming me

that he stood us up!

F***! Everything's my fault!

Everything! Even this rain!

Goddammit!

Why are you always fighting?

It was a nice party. Annika

got plenty of petrol money.

Shut up.

It didn't even rain earlier...

Okay, I'm sorry that I fired Jere.

I'm sorry!

I promise to take him back

if he chooses to answer his phone.

Is that better? What?

I also gave him money

to buy a microcar.

Did he tell you that?

What?

He's used the money for booze.

Or? What?

Now he's calling.

Where's the microcar?

- I wanted to make it up to you.

Are you drunk?

- I think I went too far.

I'll come there.

Turn your phone off.

I'm taking you home.

- What?

What have you done again?

Has something happened to him?

Has he been in a crash?

Did you hear?

So typical!

Out. - What is this? Why can't

you ever tell us anything?

Where's Jere?

- Close the doors.

What the hell has happened?

Where's Jaatinen?

I... shouted for him outside,

but he wouldn't come.

I threw a rock,

but he still wouldn't come.

Then I came inside...

First he denied everything.

Except for that paint job.

I got pissed off when he claimed

that you owe him money.

I wanted to make up for the

microcar and everything...

Where is he?

Oh, hell...

Where are his kids?

He has two small kids.

I haven't seen any kids...

Hi. - Hi.

Do you remember me?

My name is Sami.

Let's play this game. I will carry

you and you close your eyes.

Close your eyes. Keep them closed

until I tell you to open them.

Okay? - Okay.

Don't peek or you'll

ruin the game. - Okay?

Now you can open your eyes.

Go sit there.

Can you look after Lotta.

- Yeah.

Wait a second.

There you go.

Wait nicely in the car.

You can only open the door

when I or policemen come. Okay?

You're a good big brother to Lotta.

You should have told me.

I'm calling the police. Santtu.

No, you're not.

Is that real? Put it away.

- I can't go tojail.

What are you going to do?

Shoot me?

We will... burn this house.

He drank and passed out

with a lit cigarette.

You came and

saw the house in flames.

You could rescue the kids,

but not Jaatinen.

Why are you here then?

I'll go. Yeah, that works.

No, it doesn't.

Jere. Jere!

You know it yourself.

But... Sh*t!

I'm calling now. - Don't.

Sami, don't.

Don't you understand

that I can't go to jail!

I guessed that you were here.

Sari called.

Why are there two small kids in

your car? Are they Jaatinen's?

Where is Jere?

Go back out.

I have a hostage.

Where is this hostage?

Here.

Where is Jaatinen?

Dead.

For f***'s sake!

- Get the f*** out! I need to think.

You have got this all wrong.

You should have thought first.

Santtu, give us ten minutes

before you call for back-up.

I'll give you five.

Go sit on the floor. Go!

My life wasn't supposed

to go like this. - Nope.

I agree with you

and my mum on that.

Why didn't you tell me he has kids?

Now they're half orphans.

Orphans. Their mother is dead.

F***.

What do Annika

and Sari think of me now?

Do you ever talk about it?

- About what?

How she took care of me

when mum and dad died.

I was 15 and Sari was 20.

But she took care of me.

Do you ever talk about it?

- Not that often anymore.

But you mean a lot to Sari

and that's why you should...

You have never liked me,

have you?

Does it matter?

- I guess not.

You were right about one thing.

- What?

When you told me to forget

about any dreams for my life.

You were wrong, too.

My life didn't become

any easier that way.

In a way,

this is so f***ing comical.

Give me that gun.

- Don't move! I'm serious!

Jere! Let Sami go!

Don't make this any worse!

Shut up or I'll shoot Sami!

You are making it more difficult.

- More difficult?

Five minutes is almost up.

Thinking only makes it worse.

You're probably right. - Don't.

Annika's present is in my bag.

Give it to her.

Apologise to Annika and Sari

for me. - You can do it yourself.

Die, arsehole!

Jere, drop the gun!

Police! - Jere!

Drop the weapon

or the police will shoot!

Jere, goddammit!

F***! Sh*t!

Calm down! Don't...

Calm down!

Calm yourself down.

Did Jere give you that? - No.

I got a photo

and some chocolate.

What CD is that?

He wanted us

to play this at his funeral.

How do you know?

He told me.

When we played it.

It reminded him of funerals.

When? - What does it matter?

When you weren't at home!

What CD is that?

- It'sjust this...

We played this at

my mum and dad's funeral.

You were there.

I can't remember the music.

I'll put it on. - Stop it!

What's going through your head?

We're not playing this.
