Yes. Police was waiting there.

Timo was taken in custody,

and I was sentenced to eight years.

Timo doesn't remember you.

- No. He was so small.

I thought that if I take off and

you could somehow escape.

I took a train to Oulu and

hitchhiked to the swedish border.

Do you have a family?

- No.

When I was released, Kalle was waiting

at the gates with the money and a ring.

Resilient guy.

You could have contacted.

- I was embarrassed.

Hello.

- Look at that, Porala himself.

Hi.

- Hi.

You've grown up.

- Well, not much.

You've aged.

- Really?

I knew that you'd be standing in the line

the moment I wasn't looking.

Of course.

Everybody wanted her.

- Nonsense.

So you're having cognac

with your coffee. - Yeah.

Sit down.

- Wait a sec.

Do you remember,

what we agreed upon? - What?

When we are 40, we'll move in together,

if either doesn't have anyone.

You're a little late.

- No a lot. Almost 30 years.

Do you really think, Porala,

that you can just walk in here

and take my woman?

He's not taking anything.

- You shut up.

This place is my life's work,

you won't come and break it.

You took off.

You have no right for the money.

Pirkko has paid a hard price for it,

really hard.

I don't want... - Yes, you do.

Why else would you be here?

I just wanted to meet her.

- I know you.

You only have your self-interest in mind!

Goddammit!

Timo, let's go!

Goddammit!

Stop that shooting!

Did he get you? - No, just a scratch.

It scraped the side.

I'll take you to the hospital.

- No. Just drive.

You're bleeding!

- No hospital!

Where then?

- To the north!

From here.

No, there.

Gravel road. It's there.

I guess you heard, what your mother

and me were talking about. - I did.

The parents of a two year old rob a bank.

It happens.

C'est la vie.

Is everything all right?

- Yes, drive.

Leo?

- I'm having a heartburn.

It's stuck.

- Let's walk. It's not far from here.

There's a huge wound here,

it has gone through.

You tricked me again.

- You are easy.

I'll go get help.

- No, don't go!

You were conceived here!

I've always wanted to

bring you here

Timo hey... I'm cold.

Timo? It's really cold here,

isn't it?

Thank you.

Would you like to hear a story?

There once was a young man who wanted

to become the world's best archer.

He was obsessed about it.

He left his wife and kids

and headed east to find

himself a master.

The master said that he should

learn not to blink.

He saw weavers, took a pillow with him

and went to lie on his back below the loom.

He was below the skid and

kept his eyes open.

One morning he woke up and discovered

that a spider had made

a web on his left eye.

He said happily to the master that

he now knows how not to blink.

The master said, that he'd now

have to learn to see small as large.

"What? Small as large?"

There was a garden.

He went there and started to

watch small bugs.

He spent the whole summer watching them,

and the bugs started to look like horses.

He ran to the master and said

that he now sees small as large.

The master said fine. They went

near a very deep gorge.

There was a ledge. The master

said to the man to jump on the ledge

and shoot the black bird at 500 meters.

The man drew the bow and shot the bird.

The black bird fell on the ledge.

He was excited.

He looked to his mentor,

who said:
"Look at this".

And picked an imaginary bow

and an imaginary arrow.

"You don't even have

a bow and an arrow."

The mentor said, that with

the bow and arrow you take steps,

but this is how you shoot an arrow.

He shot, and suddenly a white hawk

dropped on to the ledge.

It was too much for the ledge,

which started to sway.

The man screamed:

"I'm gonna fall, I'm gonna fall!"

The old man lent him a hand and said

to stop crying and pulled him up.

The man, who had wanted to become

a master archer, understood the whole thing.

He had thought about futile things

and returned home.

The man's son asked

since he didn't have a bow or arrows:

"Father, aren't you going to shoot anymore?"

Father said:
"Listen..."

"The highest level of shooting

is not to sho..."

Father?

Father?

I haven't been here since

the police took you away from me.

Where's Leo?
