Juho!

Tuukka.
- You got your days back.

Only one to go. Hermanni.

Hermanni is a tough one.
He was the first of the bunch.

They started building the system
together. No weaknesses.

How do we play this?
- Well...

You have to do something
that Hermanni would never do.

Meaning?
- Do you love Maria?

Ask her to marry you.

Are you sure?
- It's your only angle against him.



In conclusion, I'd like to quote
Jerry Cotton, issue 6/69:

"A diamond gathers no moss!"

Thank you all.

On behalf of the company,
here's a gold watch.

A million congratulations.
- Thank you!

It has been a pleasure to know you.
- We still know each other.

Can you guess what that is?
- A pipe?

Yes. I thought it might be nice
to puff away as a pensioner.

I've always wanted lung cancer.
- I hope you succeed.

Thank you. Tuula asked you
to visit someday.

I would love to.

I'll bring Maria.
- An excellent idea!

Would you like some cake?
- No, thank you.

Congratulations.



Congratulations...
I mean, thank you.

Do you know each other?

No.
- I was looking for you.

Why didn't you call?
- I was in the neighbourhood.

Enjoy your retirement!
- Have a nice retirement.

Thank you.

What?

You've been smoking
the other men out.

I won't allow it anymore.

You have two choices:

You only get Mondays
or you're out.

Or else? I thought
Maria made those decisions.

I make these decisions.

Excuse me?
Does Maria know about this?

I've gotten rid of so many
lovesick men like you.

Excuse me! This gentleman
wanted to make a speech.

What was your name again?

Did you get stage fright?

Oh, well. Thanks for the cake.

What do you want?
- Stop!

Know that I despise you.
- I know!

I have to tell you something,
from man to man.

Spill it.

What have you done now?
- Not me, but Juho.

What about Juho?
- I bumped into him on the street.

He told me
he's going to propose to Maria.

I thought you'd like to know.

In case you wanted
to do something about it.

I appreciate it.
Leave.

I'm taking your overalls.
- What?

The gang and I decided
to put it on display.

Let me help you.

Come on, this won't happen again.
- It sure won't.

Here we go.

Thank you.
- Can I ask you something?

Go ahead.

When you proposed to Tuula,
how did you go about it?

I didn't, she did.

She told me the date
for the Register Office -

and asked me if I had
any other plans. I said no.

So in a way, I said no to a proposal,
even though I accepted. - Okay...

Are you going to propose to Maria?

Maybe.

They say that there's never
a bad time to propose.

Who's they? More Jerry Cotton?
- No, I thought of that.

Alright... Monitor duty.

Okay. Good luck!

I can't figure out who sent me
the photos. It wasn't Vertti.

Could it be Tuukka?
Or Pelle?

What about that car dealer..?
- Kari. No...

What about Timo or Granola Make?

You've had a lot of men,
so there are plenty of choices.

Thanks for help.

Have you called the police?
- No, I haven't.

But I do have a guy on it.
- Good.

Hi. - We need to meet
as soon as possible.

Is there something wrong?
- I'll tell you later.

Can you come in two hours?
- There's a call waiting.

Hi. - Hi. We need to meet
as soon as possible.

Yes, Hermanni told me.
- What? I don't understand.

I'll patch you both in.

Okay, you're both on the line.
So, a meeting in two hours.

See you there, bye.

Shit!
- Those guys are starting to bug me.

This meeting is not for you.
- Oh? Maria invited me.

I only have to make one phone call,
and you disappear.

I only have to close my eyes,
and you disappear.

What is this, a cockfight?
- Juho came uninvited.

Since when do we go behind
each others' backs?

This is personal.
- What's on your mind?

This relationship isn't working.
- No?

There are too few of us.
- Do you think so?

This system used to work well.

One day for romance,
six days for other things.

It was fair and equal.
Now it's gotten out of hand.

It wasn't supposed to go like this.

That's why it needs to be fixed now.

I don't think this is about a system.
But love.

Your idea of love is different.
- Yes, it is.

I don't love my free time,
but my time with Maria.

You want to own, not to love.
- No.

Whatever.

I don't seem to know what's going on
and I don't like it.

Which is why I have a solution.
Come out!

Excuse me, but what the fuck?

We can go back to
the way we used to be.

Gentlemen, go ahead.

I'm still in love with Jussi,
but I need you one day a week.

It's fine by Jussi.
He has another guy, too.

I'm on probation
and I started over.

I have a pizzeria.
Maria, I want you back.

I've been sober for 15 days -

and I'm so very sorry
for falling off the wagon.

I've given up drinking for good.
Can I have my day back?

Your deadlift is worse now, right?

A day of Pelle a week
keeps the fat away.

And who is he?
- Veeti, a single dad.

And him?

He is Jukka, an engineer.
They'll replace Juho and Vertti.

I've checked both of them out.
No red flags.

Maria...

In front of these witnesses...
- Hell no!

Will you marry me?

Maria, don't trust your feelings.
This calls for logic!

I can make the choices for you!

Oh, Maria! Hi!
- What are you doing here?

What?
- Are you the one blackmailing me?

Do you want revenge?
Are you out to ruin everything?

What? I'm on my way to work.
What blackmail?

The other guys have gone crazy.
- Everyone goes crazy over you.

And Maria...
I hate myself for screwing up.

I mean it. I can't change it now,
but I'd like to see you some time.

I'll understand
if you're not interested, but...

I could call you or...

WEDNESDAY

The blackmailer's call was
made from a prepaid number.

But he had bought it
with his own bank card.

And the emails?
- Here's the IP address.

And the registered street address.

Are you sure about this?
Did you doublecheck?

Here are the bank card details.

Do you want me
to give up my seat?

What do you mean?

I've been getting several
blackmail calls and emails.

Dad, they were from you.

I wanted to give you
a chance to go without any fuss.

Your relationship antics
are a threat to Flysek.

That's my personal matter.
- There is no such thing.

Your fucking around is
endangering the company.

Then the company should change.
- You're not the person to change it.

You are weak.

You're afraid of getting
yourself a strong man.

Keeping some kind of
harem of losers.

A drunk, a poet, a cook,
an engineer, a soldier, a trainer...

Not one of them is ever
going to make any money.

Why did you hire me, anyway?

Did you think I would
follow your every lead?

My daughter can't have a shitty job.

Without me, you'd barely get
a job here as a cleaner.

I don't need anything from you.

You are old and weak.

You are fired.

I see... You can't fire me.

Only the board can.

I'll call you back when
I have the time. Within the week.

It's Juho, hi.
About that proposal...

Maybe it was a bit too...

I was wondering
if we could start over?

Maybe go out to dinner
and get to know each other?

THURSDAY

Esteemed board members,
you need to know something.

I have been in a relationship
with seven men at the same time.

Is that still going on?

That really isn't
any of your business.

And it has nothing to do
with my work ethics.

But if this became public,
it would ruin us.

I don't think my private matters
reflect on our company's reputation.

If the CEO doesn't have
the good sense to resign -

the board should fire her.

I'm not going to resign.

Then the board will fire you.
- If the majority votes for it.

Everyone who feels that Maria
should be fired, raise your hand.

Goddammit, raise your hands!
Or should the board be fired?

You have seven unheard messages.

Hi, it's Tuukka.
I promised to call...

Should we go for a coffee?
Call me, bye.

It's Hermanni. Call me.
I have a solution.

It's Terho. I wrote you a poem.

Hi, Sepe here.
I'll turn to drink without you.

What you need now is Pelle.
Call me.

Maria, I named a pizza after you.

It's Juho, hi.
About that proposal...

How did you get rid
of your rivals?

Fists, always with my fists!

I don't think it's an option
in this case.

I guess it's not nowadays.

Maria.

She wants to see me again.
- Do I hear wedding bells?

Could be.

Buy her flowers.
- Thank you.

FRIDAY

Shoes off!

Well, well.

Put on the gear.

Are we beating each other with sticks?

Since none of you know kendo,
this is a fair way to resolve things.

The winner gets their way.
- Are you serious?

Or does anyone want to give up?

This is fine by me.
- I'm a fireman. I don't give up.

That's what I thought.

In the interest of fairness,
everyone gets the chance to compete.

Since you don't know the rules,
let's agree that there aren't any.

Everyone against everyone.

The winner gets whatever they want.

Helmets on.

And good luck.

Goddammit!

Juho, you're about to die!

You fucking asshole!

Get the fuck off!

Juho is mine!

Give me the fucking stick!

Juho, Juho.
- Tuukka.

Prepare to meet your maker.

Tuukka!

Maria... I love you.

SATURDAY

This interview should
go down in history.

Let's hope so.

Is there anything
you don't want to talk about?

No. Anything goes.

Thank you.

So, you have seven men?
- I used to.

My relationship with them
didn't work out.

Was it in contradiction
to your position as CEO?

No, not at all.

In fact, I'm going to continue
along the same lines.

I'm looking for seven new men.
Put in your applications.

What kind of men do you prefer?

I don't have
any specific criteria or type.

He can even be an engineer,
if he's persistent enough.
