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
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
