Pohjanmaa (1988) - full transcript

Well, how are you boys?

Which boys?

Paavo and Veikko
and Seppo and Heikki

Your own sons

Grandma, I am Erkki

Of course. Who you thought
I thought you were?

Read to me a little bit
from that Bible

Which part?

Of course from
the Gospel of Luke

Read about
the "hammerhead man's" servant -

about how Jesus cured him



That's the kind of healing I am
waiting for also while laying here

And a certain centurion's servant,
who was dear unto him, was sick, -

and ready to die, and
whom he respected dearly

And when he heard of Jesus, he sent
unto him the elders of the Jews -

beseeching him -

that he would come
and heal his servant.

And when they came to Jesus,
they besought him instantly,

saying, That he was worthy
for whom he should do this:

For he loveth our nation,

and he hath
built us a synagogue.

Then Jesus went with them.
So Jesus went with them

And when he was now
not far from the house, -

the centurion sent friends to him,
saying unto him; -

Lord, trouble not thyself:
for I am not worthy, -



that thou shouldest
enter under my roof; -

Wherefore neither thought I
myself worthy to come unto thee: -

but say in a word,
and my servant shall be healed.

For I also am a man
set under authority -

having under me soldiers,
and I say unto one: -

Go, and he goeth;
and to another, Come, and he cometh; -

and to my servant,
Do this, and he doeth it.

When Jesus heard these things, he
marvelled at him, and turned him about, -

and said unto the people that
followed him; I say unto you, -

I have not found so great faith,
no, not in Israel.

They returned to the house,
found the servant that had been sick.

I haven't found so great faith
not from Israel either.

I don't know

I say to you, Matti -

that going around with those guns
and the business of hiding them -

it shall end right now.
And as far as I know -

it's not even lawful to bring
those home from the front. Is it?

I don't know
what grandma is talking about

Hey, I saw with my own eyes -

when you buried that gun
next to the threshing barn

I still know many things -

and keep learning more
every day

I accept
the civil guard guns -

but now it's different times

Paasikivi is the president now.
He's not like "Ukko-Pekka"

Grandma rests here now
in peace and quiet

You'd think that a man's head
has gotten a little common sense -

from revolts and two wars -

to end the temptations of
pointing guns at people -

when two brothers are resting
in hero coffins under the gravestones

I don't anything about those

Get up! Damn it!

Get up!

I... both of them!

Don't go anywhere,
Erkki! Erkki!

Erkki, don't you
let him go alone to the town!

Where are we going?

You will see

At that intersection...
people have died in the past

Not many enough

Go to hell!

Come out so we can talk a bit

What do you want?

You know that really well

Off the phone or I'll
bend your husband's head off

God damnit! Holy sky

How can you
charge people like that

It is a crime.
- Money!

There's no other money, perhaps
tomorrow I get the next pay

Money!

Satan...!

God damnit, maniac!

Let it be the last time

This Hakala charges here on Sunday
like possessed devil and begins...

This is private business

Have you been threatened
with guns?

This is a minor offence

Things become common,
when it comes to waving the arms

What are you?

It's our new police, Matero

Don't let it where people are -

before it has learnt
how people behave here

Boys, it's best that -

you negotiate about textile mill's
business during working hours

Put that gun in the closet
and let it be there

Hakala boys go home now

Well?

Veikko spanked
the business partner a little bit

Do you play "dog"?
- I don't have time now

He has no time now. He's in hurry

Shut up dudes

Wasn't Jesus your son?

Come on now good boys,
it's Sunday morning

There's grandpa's
earnings from America

Hearts shark

Diamonds great,
said glass master

I've got my heritage

Would anyone
go to church with me?

Laina, you come

I've no time to come and listen
to priest's twaddling today

It's him, if other one
cuts from the pack

I don't let you cut

He cuts if he cuts

There's no need to make it happen.
Let the veteran show

Don't begin to teach them
card swindling at least on Sunday

Markku!

Where did you spend your night?

It's none of your business

Did you look at this?

Do you see?

"Tomcat's damn"

Hey see who's coming!

Welcome

Good day.
- Hello, hello

Maledict (you and your tricks)

Greetings from Vaasa friends
and elsewhere from the world

...stays up

Isn't it better to
leave that matter alone?

It brings us nothing good.
- Satan!

Some night I'll go and light
the new textile mill on fire

At least come inside to bellow

Hey Matti, I had a dream
where we went with your dad -

to buy a harvester
from the town's cooperate store

Your dad had
all the needed money with him

I was afraid that he'll
spend them to some worthless -

boozing or going to a bar

Well, we made it to
the cooperative store -

and managed to
purchase that harvester

Did you really see that I
buried that gun under the ground?

I guess you think that I am
some old senile grandma -

but I also know
something about this world

How could you see it?

From the living room window.
Straight view to where you're digging

The engineer has been
made a dog twice already

It doesn't seem to help
with playing dog -

even if the man is educated
to an engineer with own money

They didn't teach cardgames
at the institute

Markku, don't smoke in the house, the
rooms end up with such repulsive smell

Already a third time

Seppo, we need get you a bone

Bow-wow bow bow...

Did you shoot here?

Me?
- We heard a gunshot from here

Car exhaust pipes
crackle on the road

That's what I was telling too, but I came
anyway cos the whippersnappers were so sure

Learn to recognize -

when it's guns crackling and
when it's the tailpipes

Whippersnappers

Where is that gun?

In your restless imagination

Come next time in
5 second intervals -

so I don't die to laughter,
when I have to watch -

your primitive wrestling style.
- Erkki knows the wresting stuff

Don't you have
a coach from Nurmo?

You do?

Grandpa brought a gun here
during the war and buried it

For what? -The communists were
expected to take charge in the country -

and execute all officers
and Ostrobothnians

Let go!

It would be superb in moose hunting

Is it legal
to shoot moose with it?

Who could and who don't

Hey, I saw how you left with -

that biatch from Kauhajoki
last night

You could care a little bit more
how you go about

I don't bother

How was she... as a human?

Not a word
so that Taina would hear

You are crazy if you think
you can do that in secret -

at least
in Halkosaari of Lappaj?rvi

Go further, out of the province

When I'm drunk
I go so crazy somehow

I don't know

This is small next to
the whole world's craziness

He has a bride at the
cigarette factory. -No

A girl from Kortesj?rvi

You don't know
anything about anything

So you know then?
- Always something

Hey, you have to tell

If Erkki got married soon and
began living like other people

He wouldn't be chasing some
cigar wrapper. He's different man

You must tell that to us

It's too terrible
to hear for female

Stop it!

At Str?mberg factory
in Pietarsaari -

there're no workers from
Kortesj?rvi anymore

Str?mberg at Vaasa, that's
Kortesj?rvi people's America

I told you

Hey listen, I had
the weirdest dream

All of us brothers were
burning the grass on the field

Don't start changing the subject

Your women business
are being dealt with now

I don't care to talk
about them with you

How have you become such
awkward person in Pietarsaari?

I've told you thousand times

Didn't I, Paavo?
No single person -

shall write his name
on Veikko's papers -

not crosswise nor lengthwise.
- We have heard this

Not often enough.
- I think so too

Behind carpet rugs and "lousko"
we shall put a clear house

And sir himself sits -

at restaurant Ernst in Vaasa
wearing a necktie and slurps cognac

You wanted to look
like great nobleman -

and let Ketola
take the firm's moneys

They were my moneys

Ha, were they? Were they?

Were they,
was this house yours too?

Ketola has those moneys now -

with them he's banging curd
carpets at Toholampi in his own factory

Okay, it's like that too

We brothers should go
one more time to bang

I'm not going at least

You keep talking about banging -

even though half of the house
goes as soon as the bank demands

Laina, keep your mouth shut,
unless we specifically ask you

I talk when I please

And there's something
to talk about with you too

I hear you have lost
at Sein?j?ki trotting race -

10 thousand marks plain cash

Paavo, is your
malt barley germinating?

We'll see in the autumn

Yes, money will be from
own malt barley in the autumn

You better not dream about
making any homemade brews

Laina, don't you
recall yourself drinking -

sauna-scoopful of strong brew
so you could get into mood?

Don't you recall?
So you may talk -

when requested

I'm just amazed that how can
an adult man be so stupid -

that goes losing at race,
jesus, ten thousand

Some big bird
was flying at the field

What the priest talked about?

Pleasant things, like he
should talk to old people -

about being old and dying
and God's mercy -

and His son's atonement blood

I'm going to swim to Lummukka.
You come too

Have to think

Have to go the station

What's there?

I'm going to see that
the train's last car -

hasn't remained by the
Matsope mountain. -Hah!

Express train nr 69
from Helsinki to Rovaniemi leaves

Children will come after a week

When you need to be at Pietarsaari?

On Wednesday morning 6am

My whole family is at home,
dividing grandpa's American legacy

I'll try to come again
later in the evening

We get a lot?

Alpaca plate
and sat pocket watch

No kidding?

I guess there were couple
photos of grandpa and some rags

You are timid man

They told being harvesting

There's nothing new for you there

Let's screw before
the elderly return from the field

Are you serious?

Why wouldn't I be?

Wait now. I undress this skirt

Thank you much

You are crazy

No, I've got
more time in the evening

Ketola is making a charge
with breaking sanctity of the home

Go ahead charging me

He said you had
threatened to burn the mill

I advised him to
take ample fire insurance

He's advising you to keep
mouth shut about burning mills

Satan! Aren't my
sufferings ending ever?

Police chief says that there's been
gun shooting here in the morning

Such observations have been
reported from the town

Tailpipes crackle on the road, because
tomcats are driving recklessly

Erkki, you stay away from
Veikko's and Ketola's businesses

Is that what you think?

Veikko, have you learnt
anything from that bankruptcy?

Perhaps something

You could have kept
the mill that small -

that you could have managed
to handle the office stuff

Thanks a lot for advices

Indeed you police chief are -

exactly such economic adviser -

who I've been needing
and actually been waiting for

Just send me a bill for these
advices. I will pay

Advices are never worth
ignoring. Especially for you

In the spring I calculated that cuckoo
is calling for me 2 more lucky years

I wonder
where they might be now?

The police chief
didn't put you in irons?

Not yet

You tell me
where Markku was last night

I don't know

I had a dream where
Markku had another woman -

some bank clerk
from Sein?joki -

who drove Markku around
the province in her own car

The dreams always
know something

I don't know about that

Look hey, look after yourself
a bit with Saara

Why so?

Her husband was
Nurmo Jymy's champion wrestler

What are you talking about?

I saw you in Vaasa at Waskia -

even though
I didn't come to talk to you

You could have come

Be sure to keep
my warning in your mind

Those'll never learn to
cook proper tasting milk potatoes

Those in the Central-Finland
don't know what's good

No wonder she took you

What did
the police chief want?

He came to give
good advices for Veikko

Veikko never gets
too many of those

Right

Here we are dividing
grandpa's legacies now

Out of us only mom
has seen him with own eyes

But still grandpa
is a relative to all of us

But no blood relation
to daughters-in-law

Almost as many
daughters-in-law as brothers

Erkki is still single

He might have a wife...
although not own

Because of Ida,
grandpa went to America

I like milk potatoes

Pauli will be trained
below 3:40 man on 1500m run

He has too short legs
for that for now

Go and put the child to sleep

Children's legs grow
faster than head and other body

How do you know that?

You would have become a runner -

but homebrew spirits and
cigarette smoking spoiled you

He got spoiled by
looking under womens' skirts

Erkki, remember
what we talked about

We let the food to digest
for an hour, then we go

As soon as your health allows

Erkki, come to the yard

Markku!
At least don't go to the town

We have decided to
mock that Ketola that much -

that he realizes with whom
he has started bustling

Let it be

We're going to take care of
this now, and we need your help -

just that much that don't let
Veikko get close to Ketola

How I'm going
to accomplish that?

Try this. -Do we dare
to offer him sugar wine?

Why not dare?

He becomes so wicked from it

Oh jesus, how humid it is

What tomcats are doing here?

Damn it!

Stop now -

that kind of raucous
in this kind of weather

It's pity that nobody
does sugar wine anymore

All kinds of
folk musician traditions -

are kept alive,
but not the correct things

I'm sure there are brewers still.
- Where?

Have to know
to ask from right people -

even if nobody publicly
offers sugar wine to you

Everybody knows that you've become
troublesome since you become engineer

At Str?mberg everyone talked
about it in early summer

Who everyone?
- All the workers

They said that you are the
fucking nastiest engineer there

I might be so, but can't
get along there otherwise

The workers there are from
parishes of Ostrobothnia -

people who have migrated there
and they're so quarrelsome -

that nothing else has effect on
them except being fucking nasty

Nobody can stand this heat

I'll go and drive
around the town a bit

What're you hiding there?

This is strength-beverage
for the swimming trip

We all end up getting
god-awful diarrhea

Are the boys also
coming to the sandpits?

They come later
if they have time

I have couple bottles of
Vaakuna-booze... in hiding

Don't you boys ever
drink half-brewed drinks

In 50's your old man, -

due to half-brewed wine
at Halkosaari in Lappaj?rvi, -

got diarrhea shit in
his pants on the dancefloor

Don't you lie now

Don't you recall how wicked
it was to ride the bike -

standing the whole trip
from Halkosaari to home?

Don't tell such stories
about father to the boys

Listen, Laina.
It's the best -

for boys to know the truth
about things in this world

There's a muskrat on the shore

Maybe it was a rat?

Sometimes those come from
the cooperative store's warehouse

They have to leave from there too.
They can't stand that ideology

Don't be silly

We are going now.
- But we will return

Markku!

Can't I go to
the sport field even?

Take me with you

What would you do there?

Just watch

Perhaps you start training shot put?

Everybody are making hay

Under the bench

Kauhava is
the best place on Earth

I would move back but...

You really can't find anything
that's wrong here?

Restaurant is missing from here,
one that serves lemon sole

I don't know am I leaving at all

Of course you'll leave

I can't even keep afloat soon

I haven't swum
for 10 years at least

Every man leaves

And Erkki gets to drive,
cos he's bachelor

He's got most idle money to spend...
to waste on trivial drives

Good day.
- Good day

I am Rintam?ki from Lapua.
- Yes

I heard you have
established a carpet mill

I'm on the same business also,
so I was just thinking to...

Let's see. At least we can talk

Veikko, haven't you been
getting booze from the mill?

How so.
Do they have booze there too?

Let's drive via tavern

No way. Directly to swim

A little bit respect for
older brother, I ask

Boys keep coming more
and more impossible

Some day we got to
really mock them

Nothing else but
smash their faces in

I still need
to drive to Vaasa

Rikki may drive

We 4 brothers aren't able to -

empty a Vaakuna booze bottle
in one round anymore?

I don't think we need any
written contract neither now

Okay. Let's shake on it

I go and get
the bros to witness

As long as they don't go
spreading the business

Our boys?

And not me
due to my ferocious nature -

won't press ahead

Joy is love
and off the ground -

girlfriend likely exists...

Aren't you
boys of Paavo Hakala?

Veikko Hakala's brother's boys

Do you know our Veikko?

What do you boys mean?

Want to talk a little bit
about carpet weaving

Sure, let's talk. Come and sit

Wouldn't it be nice to talk
somewhere else than at your place?

Isn't this just fine?

But if the place gets
bloody mess all over?

Satan!

You could have given a thought
earlier, about what you're doing

You can take 20 years off -

in order to our Veikko's muscles
to have anything worth showing

I wonder is that enough?

Boys, I haven't done
anything to you

Via the old road

There won't any passer-bys

So warm like bird's milk

In this blood, Paavo, -

no need even for an older man
to be afraid of heart attack

Damn, this is a wrong car

Veikko was all kinds of things at
first. Like my own, he was always...

Yes we know that

Especially Veikko's moneys
you kept like your own

Erkki, don't you
dare to go to water?

If I had time

But now

And such man tries to entice
Vainio's wife from Nurmo

Where's your car's key?

Key!

I think we'll go and
open it at M?hkyl?

Let me go!

Let it be with that flailing

Baseball is fair
Ostrobothnian game

Baseball ain't
Ostrobothnian game

Tahko Pihkala created it
for military purposes

What militaristic
there's in baseball?

Getting wounded, death,
burning, plunging

Throwing the baseball is -

nothing but practising
the hand grenade throwing

What kind of war term
is death?

More deaths happen in
civilian life than in war

Realities are facts

Those I want to always
express uncensored

Veikko, it's not worth for you
to get angry about it

Okay, let's shake on it

Baseball requires wits and
fitness. I understand such games

Father said in 50's that
it was good that -

whole M?nts?l? riot in 1932
went as it went

I certainly don't care.
- Me neither

Dad liked

Joona Taipale and Vuosalmi
get to fight very sufficiently -

with those 32 who had wanted
to go to M?nts?l? so much

Spirit of Lapua

In a stall small -

a mare stands, -

long time has been
without stallion

Evening is already darker, -

turning to night, -

and stallion isn't arriving

Evening's already darker, -

turning to night already, -

and that stallion isn't arriving

From far away
can hear hoof noice -

there that stallion is

Together with other -

unfamiliar mares, -

has began partying

Together with other -

unfamiliar mares, -

has began partying

Took, boys, Jesus, satan

Surrender!
You are surrounded

Oh jesus, that tomcat

Say, damnit,
where you are hurting

Cheekbone, you damn vicious

Fuck, you did your last trick

Show now

How did you find this?
- Such men find these -

who are able to do something worthwile
than this everlasting bullshit talk

Shoulder... arms!

By the right flank, march!

Oh hell,
I really startled

I already thought that
Italians attacked here, -

the men of red brigades, as I
just read about them from the paper

Or shore-Swedish fox farmers

This is just like...

Quickly the gun here,
I'll shoot that dog

No way in hell you don't

It's closed season now. No
letting dogs loose to forest

They would kill all
the baby birds out there

You shot here?

He's a teacher

Out there in the woods I heard
a noise of a submachine gun

I haven't heard such noise,
not since Vyborg shore in 1944

With what we have shot with,
since we don't have a gun even?

It's closed season. No letting
dogs loose in the woods

Open fires,
they are forbidden in forest

I guess it's so

From school I know every boy

Nothing important learnt there, -

except how to whittle
naughty pictures on toilet walls

Would the teacher like
some homebrew spirit?

I'm with a car

Is it so dangerous to drive
to the town in little "kilju"- stoop

Shut up, tomcat

You don't come here
to give me orders

We aren't at town school now,
and so you can't tear my hair

I don't recall ever
pulling your hair

It's not worth
recalling old stuff here

Bad homebrew.
- Eh?

You piece of shit -

never had anything
positive to say to us

On my behalf
drink piss from your heads!

There were shots fired here
with submachine gun

I sure recognize that noise.
- Exhaust pipes crackle on the road

I listened to machine gun
crackling -

in both wars for real

Your father was
so careful in everything

Do you still have cartridges?

Yes, but we don't give them

Oh

It would've been fun
to shoot few times

People hear

I will take full responsiblity

And what sort that might be?

Dad's gun isn't yours,
and so isn't the cartridges!

What's this dog's name?

Let me try too

Put it to single shot

Say, which mug you mean?

You shoot over all the time.
Take balanced aim

You start to guide me?

A little bit anyway

Haven't come here
to listen to any lectures

What's that dog's name?

Not worth to do rapid fire
with this unless in close combat

In Winter war at Taipaleenjoki
I get to really know this gun

Are you still going to
drive car today?

Hey listen, we should drive
to Lappaj?rvi, to my cottage

There they are
used to my shooting

With what you shoot there?

Nagan booty. I took it
from Russian officer -

in July '41, at S?rkisyrj?

He just handed it to you?

At first he wasn't going to -

but then he had to,
after he died

Seppo should be in Vaasa in
the morning acting as engineer

I can ring that
I'm taking a day off

He can actually do it.
He's such a higher-up there

In the morning we can ring -

from Lappaj?rvi tavern
to Str?mberg

Come quickly now, Paavo

On this kind of sand heath...
If you had to -

deploy infantry unit,
how would you do it?

Depends, from which direction
the enemy's coming from

The enemy's always
coming from east -

from Lappaj?rvi

Wait!

Drunk we are and driving car -

as well as this whippersnapper

Hey, you got the worst
booze-head in the family

I took little bit
after eating -

cos I didn't care about
the hags' babbling

It's a 1000 mark stitch for you

Satan, this whole car
isn't worth even 1000 marks

I paid 6000 for this
in the spring

In your stupidity

Got to go and get a tractor
from Lummukka house

If I deployed infantry unit
right here -

neighbor would have
hard time getting through

With a platoon of Ostrobothnians
I could hold this for 5 years

Who would want
this crater anyway?

Especially if you'd
let TVH-men -

transport their sand
through here in peace

How can you adult man
be so stupid -

that you let another take all your
moneys, and don't fight back at all?

If this all is about that
I haven't had time, -

and no opportunities to go
to such... higher up schools

as Seppo and you, teacher

I've had to stand up to myself

Like with that textile mill...
It was fulltime job

Acquiring clothes and -

selling carpets, so that...

Then...

Plain stealing

And goddamn, I think -

there's been enough talk
about that bankrupt for today

If you really need to
talk more about it -

then go to our place
and conduct with Laina

She'll willingly talks
about it for a week straight

Laina sure is awkward person
and foul-mouthed

Let's go and get that gun now

When visiting America they
searched for grandpa in Canada -

whose heritage we are
now dividing here

But there wasn't
enough time then

And as he wasn't at the
address I had with me -

I didn't continue searching
for him in Canada any further

The annoying aspect about
business trips is that there's -

not enough time to do
much else than the work

At Seppo's age I hadn't been
anywhere but Soviet Union

And even there a gun in hand

They had men here doing
installation jobs

With old sneakers
they bought young girls

Really, you live and learn

Oh damn it,
can't hit anything with this

Hey hey,
don't, damn it!

Boys, boys...

I'm loading...

Is it okay here to pay -

with old man's cash?

Hey, this is lake iron

Give it here

It drips or floats

Hey! Let's get submachine gun

That'll make some sort of marks

Listen

I go visit Kauhava and
I'll get you in the evening

You can trust me

Submachine gun

Ostrobothnian doesn't trust
anybody but himself

That's how he differs from
Finland's tribes and foreigners

Recall, this is
what I warned you about

I'll bring that submachine gun.
Believe now

Shall we believe?

Oh well, we'll believe the man

Where you left the men?

At teacher's cottage

Surely they've begun boozing there

Oh well, at least not Seppo.
He still needs to drive to Vaasa

I wouldn't bet on that

For a pleasure
of resting day, -

he might have began
taking the sour stuff too

Was Markku at Lappaj?rvi?

Boys went to the sport field.
- You swear?

Even with 2 hands
on top of the bible

Don't speak such things

I go and look around a bit

Hey, bring
at least Markku back home

He's most likely
gone to the tavern

At restaurant in Lapua
Saara's husband -

had promised to beat you spotted
with blue together with Saara

Would he really hit a woman?

Engineer man

Hey, he's former wrestler
and pungent by temper

Erkki, did you come
and be our Cossack?

Men sure are needed now, -

but I can't pay
salary for you

Working on Sunday is sinful

Surely not
the greatest of your sins

I guess you still recall how to
rake the hays on the pole?

I can do all sorts of things,
but I don't have time now, -

cos I'm going to drive
around and see old places

What old places
our fields are for you?

Are you going to be
here all day long?

I have to do
what others do too

I can't just sit and wait you

You could help us

I'm out of here

How I reach you in the evening?

Call me

Saara, stop that babbling
and start working

Hays don't fly on the poles
by themselves here

Well?

Please say something

Police chief came and wanted to
talk to the boys, Paavo or Veikko

Something must
have happened to Markku

Could you stop squalling there?

Erkki, those Markku's businesses
aren't rightful

Shall we write a report
here and now?

What fucking report?

You'd been looking for me
so that's why I came here

There are no reports needed

We have to speak with Veikko

Boys are at teacher's cottage

I already sent a whip

Matero, could you go to
the gas station bar -

and drink
a cup of coffee for instance?

Do you know where your Markku,
Raimo and Antero are right now?

No

Around noon they
went to the sport field

I went to Lummukka
with my brothers

There was a call from Lummukka.
Do you have a gun?

At least
none of you has a gun licence

Why wouldn't we have?

Kind police chief, please
let me call home to Maija -

so I can tell I didn't get hurt,
that I'm doing alright

Where is Markku?
- At intensive care unit at Sein?joki

What the hell has happened here?

That would be good to know

Police from Sein?joki brought them

They had driven to hospital and told -

that Ketola had stabbed
Markku at Lapua's Straight

Ketola claims that boys had come
and forced him out of his home -

and tried to kill him

Forcibly busted
in legendary Lapua style

How's Markku doing?

Ketola had hit him to the head.
But his life is not in danger

Satan, boys will wrench his head off,
when they learn about his

Ketola is incompetent at hitting,
if he hits head at first blow

He's so timid.
Swiped in a panic

It's good that he hit
with Kauhava-blood, -

so tabloids don't write -

that there's been stabbing at
Kauhava with Mora or "S?mi Knife"

Knife had slipped
over the forehead to the eye

Did boys have
homebrew booze at Lappaj?rvi?

Yes, we had

Do you know, who has done it?

Yes, but I can't tell.
- I see

How long the boys are going
to be held in custody?

As far as I know
they haven't stabbed anyone

Forcing a man out of his home and taking him to
the Lapua Straight for beating is crime in itself

Paavo and Seppo are
being questioned now -

and Veikko's course of events,
and of course you too

You should order the police
to beat Ketola

He knows the truth about this

Matero would jump and break
some ribs of him in pleasure

I don't feel like listening
to that kind of stuff

Makes me bored

What the fuck!

Let go of that man! Fuck satan!

Damn it! Flour squire!
I will kill you, satan!

Let that be
the last time tearing me!

No you don't fuck, goddamnit!

Let go Seppo,
I will kill it!

Let go!

It's best for the teacher
to go home now

Nobody asked you to be here

Hey! How did you send whip? You
were supposed to come yourself?

I didn't send it

Police are attacking
and start dragging

Goddamn!

Fuck!

Let's talk with Seppo first.
- Okay

Who drove?

Erkki

What was that shooting, -

that was heard from sandpits
at Lummukka in the afternoon?

We were target shooting
with teacher's gun

The shots fired at the sandpits
were from submachine gun

I thought
that the teacher had a pistol

You haven't bothered to
acquire permit for it?

I didn't get
buying permit for it neither

I got it from
Russian officer in summer '41

At first he wasn't willing -
a bit, but then he consented -

after about a finger-size hole
appeared on his head

Those were such times back then

There were no times to
ask permits from police chiefs

18 boys are buried -

at cemetery by the church
in soldier's graves in July '41

Yes, yes.
That's how it certainly was

And due to my furious nature,
I'm not going to -

bow my head down

Should I go somewhere from here?

Sit down over there.
Lots of witnesses for once, -

when you start talking in the town,
that you were beaten at questioning

Are you able to
answer those questions, -

that are going
to be asked from you?

It depends complete...

It depends comp... letely
on the questions

Where were you in the afternoon?

Oh me? A little bit here and there

At sandpits in Lummukka?

Yes, certainly

What did you shoot with there?
With submachine gun?

No way. Don't talk nonsense

How could we have such guns?

Wait now,
if I really recall hard, -

I think I might have heard
some kind of crackling from there

I wonder what were they?

Well, Lummukka farmers
probably shot with stump bomb

I'm asking this
for second time now

With what weapons
did you shoot with?

Did you say that,
at Lummukka sandpits?

Don't you know,
what gun shooting is?

Police chief, could it be so now -

that at the moment Paavo is
too drunk for questioning?

There was a call from Lummukka -

they say that there's been
shots fired with submachine guns

We know the Lummukka people

What do they
understand about anything?

Not worth trusting their ideas

They lowered their lake's water level
and tried to make a field, but -

they created such puddle, so
that there's no lake nor field now

Isn't this clear matter?

See, they didn't know how
to lower the lake, and now -

they don't know when it's guns
banging and when stump bombs

Lummukka people are having hard times,
if war would break out

And since they cannot distinguish
bullet spurt from pistol shooting

Be quiet or go away, -

if you can't stop
interfering the questionings

So what did they
shoot with at Lummukka?

And how did you go to the
teacher's cottage in Lappaj?rvi?

Who left with Erkki from Lappaj?rvi?

I'm staying 100%
with my original story

But you haven't said
a word about Lappaj?rvi

What, haven't you
written anything on your paper?

Oh jesus, police chief,
such man you have as clerk

This isn't going anywhere

This talk with you
is like shouting into the wind

Go home or sit there

We don't go anywhere
until it's we know -

who are sitting here in custody

Raimo and Antero sit in jail

Markku lies in hospital bed
with his punctured eye

You satan!

Listen up boys, -

Veikko is in such furious mood -

that he's not going
to be let out today

Go home and go see Markku

I go there right now
to have questionings

Let Veikko and little boys free

We take them to beds to recover

You can prove
anything about Veikko?

I assure that he won't get nasty

The little boys are
done with questioning, yes?

I answer for my children

It doesn't look like it

If you would call
to the hospital -

and ask, how is Markku doing

Hey, don't you start advising -

the government employees how to
do to the official business

Let me out!
Let me out!

We are coming there.
Behave properly

Shout then, when you are ready

Satan!

I'm going to wrench off your
arms, when I get out of here

Police chief said,
that I get to decide -

that do we dare
to take you home

Hey, I still decide what I do

Whatever

Satan!

We wouldn't be here, if
you didn't take away that gun!

It'd have been useless for Lammi
to try to put me into Maija, -

cos I would have let her through

Try to think yourself, -

even though you
don't have own children, -

that how Laina and I feel.
Little boys are in custody -

Markku is in hospital at
Sein?joki with punctured eye

Satan! I don't care about you
and your wife at fucking all

Erkki, we are going to leave
Veikko here to recover

Veikko, don't you in hell...

Veikko, we aren't
leaving you now, or never

Here's your hat

Satan!

Damn

I come and get you right after
I've taken these guys home

Shall we go into the house -

or shall we let
a tempest appear here?

Is this good now, that kids
have made it to "knife mouth"?

I told Matero that we will see, as long
as don't get lathe sliver into eye

We sure didn't realize -

that he might have knife
in his pocket on Sunday

What did you tell
to the police chief?

That Ketola stopped us and
began slashing with a knife

He won't believe that. -Do you believe
that it's all the fucking same for me

You'll get suspended from school
if you're lucky

We don't care

I wonder do they really care,
what we do on our summer holiday?

For sure they care
for murder cases

You knew all along,
what we were doing

If they suspend from school,
I'll enlist to the paratroopers

With such education
I can get to America's army

They take such men there,
who have sense in their head

I wonder
where such men are found?

I could come along

I have one doctor friend there

He's able to tell,
if Markku is losing his sight

If you can't be without crying,
go back to bedroom

I'm going to Vaasa now,
you can come along, -

if you don't prefer to
stay home and drink homebrew

I promised to the police chief -

that boys don't show their faces
in the town today anymore

Boys don't go anywhere,
if I say so

Nothing holds me back

Polices may come on the flat,
with or without guns

I'm not leaving Veikko
to be beaten by polices

There's no match for
two of us in the whole town

You don't let
Paavo and Veikko free -

until I've returned from Sein?joki

I know that I should make a change
in my life, but what?

You want me to figure that out?
- No

You aren't needed there at all

I gladly help my friends

The boys' father was
my best friend in both wars

I didn't know that

That doesn't matter too much now

I'm not into this
because of friendship

Let's leave the whole man here

Let's just wait

Can't make it
to Sein?joki without beer...

Wondering if the homebrew makes
thirsty. We sure know that

And recall, that you don't
start crying no matter what

Do you think that I'm ever
crying again in this world

Do you remember too, Taina?
- Yes I do

For sure?

Feeling better?

I met men from our regiment
from the continuation war times -

Boys from the Jr 58

I see. Isn't there
plenty of that kind around?

Bitches quiet!
- Who are being called bitch here?

A memorial day of
S?rkisyrj? battle -

may we celebrate here
with the boys -

in cigarette-smoky bar while
lifting medium beer mugs

But when the country was
in danger, they sure asked then

Don't you believe nurse's talks?

We came all the way
from Kauhava to see man -

who is here in treatment,
one called Markku Hakala

Come during visiting hours

But we came now

What man you think you are?

I'm corpse's uncle

Who are all of you?

Mom, and Markku's mom and wife.
Oh, and I and teacher

Come tomorrow during visiting hours

The time is on the front door, if you
are able to read in the first place

We came now

Let's go

They just have such rules, -

that other people than close relatives
aren't allowed into the ICU

Where do you think
that we can find you?

Sit down and wait,
I'm coming in a minute

You may visit,
but don't talk too long

We had to remove his -

left eye.
So you know

Taina, recall what we talked about

We have to talk a little bit

That's alright

Come to the police station after
you've taken your party home -

and seen that
boys are in safe there

What came?

We are here... -Taina and
your mom and I and Erkki

They took my eye and are afraid,
that I'll lose sight in another too

The main thing is that
you didn't get killed

I wouldn't be so sure about that

It's the same for me,
if lose an eye or two

For me you are my husband -

and together with Pauli
we take care of you always

Hey, you don't need to
take care of me

Didn't need to before either

What did you say
to the police chief?

That what we agreed with the boys

How come
Ketola was carrying knife?

We three strong men
against that one codger

No sound comes out of me

Cut the head in half
with an axe if you like

Stop now, adult man,
this childishness

We got other things to worry
here, than herding you

They have taken an eye from Markku's
head and the other one might go -

so we don't really have time...
for you

Well, if you seriously want to
take me with you, then...

It's how this was then

It's how this is then, -

but the other eye must
have the sight, -

otherwise it's
too unreasonable for him

There's nothing reasonable or
unreasonable in this world

It's always aggravating

I also thought,
that it was enough for us, -

when Martti's brothers were
brought from gravel in coffins

It wasn't adequate for anything

Martti himself
got killed under a tractor

So I don't have time to
believe in any reasonabilities

Damn!

Satan!

That Ketola must be killed
before he takes all of our -

houses, goods, carpet mills and
now even eyes from the boys' heads

No more killings and
fightings are needed

Erkki!

At Sein?joki

I sure have to help

Shut up now!
I come when I come

Alina always worries a lot

Boys, you should go and bring
Veikko in the house, -

before he decides
to go the town

Erkki... Give me
that dad's submachine gun, -

and I'll go and kill everyone

What sense would that make?

There's no sense in anything

You are crazy. -Let's go to the
police station and kill everyone there

Hey, now it's wisest that
we start to think, -

what the boys really
bustled with Ketola

What does it benefit?

Well, Veikko, well

Veikko, let's just go
into the house now

I was just wanted to say to you -

that you shouldn't join
those Lapua people anymore

Who do you think I am again?

Men go to America,
and they die there -

in iron mines and
Copper Island smelters

Boys are sent to wars -

and they are brought back
in coffins -

and get buried
next to the church -

in soldier's graves

Children are born and die

Animals give birth and
they get killed for food

Grains get sown -

and when they're ripe,
they get cut and threshed

Whole world is about
being born and dying

Every day so many
are born and die -

that if began to count them -

one person's age wouldn't
be enough for the task -

even if took into account
only one day's dyings and births

But the Earth stays

It changes all the time,
but it remains

Are you going to remain
as long as the Earth?

I've been thinking about
myself and other women too -

and wondered,

that in Ostrobothnia
all wisdom is in old women

They have the wisdom and goodness.
Do you believe, Erkki?

What's wrong with
the men here then?

They sure have... insanity

Police chief asked me
to come here

He went to visit home.
Asked me to call when you come

I came now

Why your trunk is open
in such downpour?

I don't know

Matero

Was there something
valuable in there?

Nothing at all

Police station,
police officer Matero

Yes... There is. Just a moment

Hakala. It's for you

Yes

Really

I'll come as soon as I can

Veikko has escaped to the town

His intention is to shoot
everybody, first polices

Where he got a gun from?

I don't have time
to explain now

Veikko took submachine gun
and bullets from me

Satan. Does
the police chief know already?

I just came to tell
that Veikko might have a gun

From where has he got that?

I don't know. Boys are
in the town searching for Veikko

Matero, don't you shoot them

Maybe he has gone
hiding somewhere

Do you know about his friends?

He has some drinking buddies

If he has gone with them

We will continue looking around

Sister went with her husband
to visit Mallorca. -I see

I thought that we could
drive there and make coffee

Okay

Isn't that man him?
- Yes

Boys said that your husband
is going to kill me some day

He might do it as well

Have you thought at all,
what will happen?

I didn't bother to think
about you by really thinking

What is wrong with your husband?

There's nothing wrong with him

He is nice man

No... Don't

That your job

Always similar

It's like I'm just some kind of...
"straight away on your back" for you

What are you clinging to me?

Able-bodied engineer waiting at home

But I was thinking...

that...

we could be old friends

Like people are between themselves

How's that wrestler
as a bed buddy?

It's actually none of your business

In Finnish championship competitions
he never made it -

higher than score point positions

How far you made it then?

I've never got
excited about such -

sweaty guys' wrenching

Every now and then shoot
farts to each others' noses

This is why you came here?

I can take you home too

That's where I have thanked myself -

that I didn't join your sled
when I was a young girl

What would I be now?
Pietarsaari worker's wife

What's wrong with
Pietarsaari workers' wives?

You should know them

Satan! This is the end

Satan! This game's enough

What game?
- Damn! I know everything

Satan! I heard you are
driving around with my wife. -

like she was your fianc?e

Are you Saara's husband?
- Yes... at least I've been

Hey, come and sit here
in the car from that downpour

Erkki Hakala.
- I know

Hey, we are old school buddies
together with Saara

You shouldn't forget and leave
old friends in this world

People have very few
real friends in this world

Don't you betray me

An adult man and gets
nervous about women's talks

One trusted friend called me

On my behalf you can keep
your wife in complete peace

I'm not taking her anywhere

This is something
I decide myself

Think sensibly now

You must be able to do it,
as an engineer man

If they haven't completely squashed
your head against wrestling mat -

now you go and say sorry nicely
to Saara about your doubt

Then you'll live with her
happily with rest of your life

This is not going to stop here

Call me when you have
something to say, and let's talk

Come out of there now
and stop making fool of yourself

Where are the others?

They went to see Veikko.
They called from the police

He has... died in the prison

You killed him with
fists or baton?

Doctor came already and said,
that it was a heart attack

That heart attack had good timing

Go to the morgue and see

I sure will

I thought that he had passed out,
when I found him at the market place

He was just growling

Then when I went to
the jail to check, he had died

Do you know what gun this is?

Looks like
Finland-submachine gun

I know about guns that much too,
but where did he get this?

He might have bought it.
He was a businessman

There had been machine gun shots
fired at Lummukka in the daytime

So there you got
plenty of clues then

Did you know about this,
when you came to warn us?

No

I'm beginning to be
somewhat fed up -

with all this lying

Has someone lied to you?

They left already... everyone

I would like to see him too

Come in the morning

I can come in the morning too,
but now I'm going to see Veikko

I don't really have time

Erkki, goddamn. I heard that
they have killed your Veikko

Don't you believe all talks

Help me a bit now

Goddamn!

What do you read there
in such poor light?

You have to dress up
into a new person -

and change to
totally another person

You often have to do,
what you don't like to -

and leave it undone,
that you'd like to do.

You will see, that
what pleases others, succeeds -

but that what you want,
progresses slowly

That what others say,
is listened to

That what you say,
is judged little

Others request and receive

You ask -

but you don't get what you ask

That's how it surely is

Erkki, you stay alive at least
so long, that you can bury me -

so that my youngest
don't have to be burying me

I will try at least
