The House of Branching Love (2009) Movie Script
[StB] FILMS PRESENTS
THE H0USE OF BRANCHING L0VE
You can't come here.
No, I'm not going anywhere.
Get away from there.
Are you nuts?
Sorry. - That's okay.
Did you hurt yourself?
- No, I'm fine.
Did you see what happened? - Yes.
Mello? - Did you find out
who killed Natalia and took the money?
Not yet.
The Estonian mob wants to know.
Natalia was family to them.
Can't we pay it
out of our own pocket? - No.
We have to play by the rules.
Yrsa. Can't we at least agree that
you won't be calling me this late?
You just woke Eemeli up.
- Regards to your family.
Morning. - Morning.
Did you sleep well?
I did, since you weren't
snoring next to me.
Was that humor? - Yes.
Puts you in a peppy mood
first thing in the morning.
"Blue-green algae hits the shores"
- More algae on our way.
"Woman falls through hotel window"
What's this world coming to.
Everything is so sad.
If we're both going to live here, -
we have to set some rules.
On co-habiting.
On co-existing in this house.
It's good to have clear rules.
I already wrote...
...this proposal.
Without asking me? - You can
give your opinion, of course.
"The garbage payment..."
- It's surprisingly high.
I can pay that.
- No, we'll split it.
Whatever you want.
- "We'll each have our own rooms."
"New people are
not allowed in the house."
You're going to find some
single mom right away? - Me?
No. I thought you might want to.
Forget it.
If we can't agree on this,
just forget it.
If we don't do it now,
we'll never do it.
Right. - Good.
I have to get going.
As in a good relationship, -
JUHANI HELIN,
FAMILY C0UNSEL0R
outdoing ourselves.
Content people
don't have to be motivated.
My employer
doesn't have to motivate me -
because I like what I do.
Where does happiness
come from then?
But it won't necessarily happen again.
Sudden infant death is not hereditary.
Of course it can happen again, dammit.
Of course it can,
but it's extremely unlikely.
That it would replace Santtu.
Maybe it was meant to be.
Maybe Timo and I
are not meant to be a couple.
Or if it wasn't a sign
and there's no one guiding us, -
what's the point?
Mis death stopped us from living.
We can't let it go.
May I give you my opinion?
Children are
the most precious thing in life.
You'll be fine once you get laid.
- C'mon, Pekka.
It's true. Painfully true.
Tuula will take the upstairs bedroom.
I'll move downstairs to the study.
Juhani! For Christ's sake!
We're going bar-hopping?
- Of course.
As soon as we get rid of your stuff.
I'll be your chaperone.
When Anu and I got divorced, -
I saw the animal in her
that we all have inside us.
She was always
the calm and smart one.
But when we were getting divorced,
she scratched my face till I bled.
I had to take her
to a shrink every day.
And I had to pay
because Anu blamed me for it.
Why don't you move my bed too
while you're at it.
I always wanted it here,
but Juhani didn't. - 0kay.
It's been a long time
since my bed has seen -
what men and women have been doing
since the beginning of time.
I'm not the only woman
who has experienced this.
Don't generalize.
I can't identify with that problem.
My partners complain of the opposite.
Well, but you're
every woman's dream, Pekka.
As a therapist, you should know
that a real man doesn't do that.
Okay, I'll shut up.
I know you're on the rebound.
You're vulnerable.
My relationships
always ended in an explosion.
That's right. There's got to be
blood and broken glass.
May I give you advice?
I'm not in the mood
for your kitchen psychology. - Right.
I have empirical data.
You've never been
through a real breakup as an adult.
Don't fall in love
with the first woman you meet.
I don't necessarily
feel like falling in love.
I've hauled so much tuna
from this place -
that if the European Union ever
found out, they'd set a catch limit.
Pick any girl you want.
- Pekka, Pekka...
Forget it. I don't think
I'm ready to pick up women yet.
Stop that middle-class babble.
Follow your instincts, Juhani.
Mere's to tonight.
Great to see you, girls.
You're sniffing the air. That's good.
It's rare to spot
three beautiful women at one time.
Usually you have one beautiful woman,
and the others are there to frame her.
One important thing.
Beauty is a trap.
Their heads are full
of self-asserting fantasies.
They harvest
fat suburban men like you -
as if it was grain
in a Soviet collective farm.
Technically, our house is in the city.
Can't we just drink? - Drinking
is boring. It's not real life.
Those two. 0n the platform.
Blitzkrieg in Poland.
I'll go frontline.
I'm Sanna. This is Liisa.
Juhani is an astrologist.
Me'll read your palm.
I'll read your palm.
I have sensitive hands.
I'm a gynecologist.
You're not a gynecologist.
- I am. Who would lie about that?
So, what do you really do?
- I'm a family therapist.
You're not. - I am.
I work in the public sector,
so anyone can use me.
Feel free.
Can I get you something to drink?
- Please.
Mow does a family therapist
wind up divorced?
I guess it's easier to preach
than to practice.
Mow long were you married?
- Almost ten years.
Mow does it feel to be single again?
I don't know.
At least it sounds stupid.
"Single."
I used to be pretty good-looking,
you know.
But when you've been married
to a mannish woman for ten years, -
the only thing you want to do is eat.
There's nothing else to do.
I'm sorry. I didn't mean to open up.
Should we open something else?
Yeah, I might have
a bottle of red wine.
Come here.
I'm still on the rebound.
I'm sorry. I can't do this.
Mey, that's okay.
That was just my wife.
You said you were divorced! - Yes.
Technically I am.
There's just this little arrangement.
Mow dare you? We agreed
we wouldn't bring anyone here!
Get the hell out!
Get out! - I'm going...
Go! Go!
I called the fire department.
Is everything alright?
Yeah. Thanks.
The fire is over there.
What happened?
I accidentally dropped
a cigar in that bush.
Mow can a bush be so dry.
We'll take it from here. - 0kay.
Why don't you go inside. - 0kay.
Stay inside, will you?
- Okay. Sure.
The fire was over there. - Thanks.
There were flames. - Morning.
Why?
Tell me why.
Why do you want to hurt me?
Mow can you fuck
a stranger in our home -
when you haven't had
sex with me in years?
Right. Don't say anything.
Maybe I don't want you -
because you've become so
superficial, selfish and unfeminine.
Is that what I've become?
And when did you become -
such an impotent,
unmasculine, fat piece of shit?
You really think I even wanted you?
Listen... - No, you listen.
You could've at least
tried to lose some weight.
An embarrassment
just to be seen with you.
Going to the refrigerator? What?
I want to know why you haven't
gotten rid of your double chin.
And the cellulite on your ass.
There must be a tool for that.
You could have done
something about your face too.
You're 35,
and you look like your mother.
I don't look like my mother.
My mother lives in Estonia, and you
don't even know what she looks like.
Your mother runs a prostitution ring.
- There's nothing I can do about that.
You'll move out tomorrow!
Go stay with that fucking Pekka.
I'm not going anywhere.
You can go to hell. - This is my home.
We haven't bought this house
with your money, that's for sure.
Why did you fuck that slut then?
Don't call her names
when you don't even know her.
"No new sluts." Right?
What the hell does it matter
what I do?
We're divorced, for fuck's sake!
Mow would you like me to stuff this
down your throat?
You're going to hit me again?
I'm sure you'd like watching,
since doing isn't your thing. - Right.
Now I got it.
There's something gay about you.
You'd like to watch
a real man fuck me?
You think I don't know
you cheated on me?
Mow many men were there?
I've never cheated on you
even though I've had good reason.
I can see it in your face, you...
Not even divorce can justify this...
- Don't change the subject!
Say what's on your mind for once,
you eunuch!
You fucking leg-spreading!
Okay, kids, let's go.
Everything's under control.
AIR TAXI
Yeah.
- Hi, is this Marco?
Yeah.
It's me, Tuula Helin.
I'm sorry to call you this late.
- That's okay. You need a ride?
We spent a night together
at the ski resort in April.
Remember? - Sure.
Mow's it going?
- I'm fine. I mean I'm really good.
Would you like to have
dinner at my place?
Aren't you married?
- I was married.
How about tomorrow?
I live in Kuusisaari.
I'll come flying.
- Just as long as you come.
Mands off!
I'm having someone over for dinner.
You can decide if you want to be here
when I fuck his brains out -
or if you'd rather go to a hotel
or to that fucking Pekka's house.
Do you really have to be so crude?
Who is he?
That's none of business.
- Yes, it is.
Me could steal something.
- Like what? Your stinking DVDs?
We had a deal.
- Did you abide by it last night?
"No new sluts."
- I'm sorry.
I don't know what got into me.
- I know exactly what got into you.
Ten more minutes.
Let the sweat wash our sins away.
Sanna gave you a gift.
Just accept it.
Thanks to her,
your rebound will be over quicker.
Tuula said she invited someone over
for dinner. You think she's lying?
It's not the first time
she's got her oven hot for him.
Juhani. Seriously,
as a friend, grow up.
Let Tuula fuck her brains out.
Mi.
So you actually came flying.
- I said I would.
Should we get started right away...
eating, I mean.
Oh no. I'd have to come home
with a really beautiful woman.
Tuula could watch when I do her...
Christ, what am I thinking...
Mow come I'm so upset?
I should be happy I got rid of her.
That's a great idea.
Give Wolffi a call. - Mell, no.
Is he still pimping?
- I don't know. Why?
You said you want to get
some revenge. It's a great idea.
I don't think I can fly after this.
- Well, you don't have to.
You've got to be kidding.
- No, I'm serious.
Let go! Let go!
You know this guy?
- Yeah, I do. Unfortunately.
Rico, come here!
Go back to Daddy!
I'm sorry.
Maybe we should
go inside. - Sure.
It's me, Juhani.
Juhani who?
- Juhani Helin.
Your stepbrother. - What?
Oh, my stepbrother Juhani!
Mow's it going?
I'll tell the guy at the door
to let you in. - Okay.
Err...
What? - I'm sorry.
I can't do this. - What?
Mi. - Get back here,
or I'll rip you apart.
Where do you think you're going?
It's ten to get in.
I'm sorry. Sure.
Mere you go.
Is Wolffi here already?
You're Juhani?
- Yes, I am. Juhani Helin.
Me's downstairs.
You think I'm a psychic?
Damn, it's you.
You've grown.
- That's right.
Mey, you've been avoiding me.
- No, I haven't. I've been eating.
C'mon, just admit it. You and Tuula
want to keep a healthy distance.
That's okay.
Mello. - This is Kitty,
my lovely wife.
Eemeli's mother.
- Wolffi has mentioned you.
Niilo is your father too.
- That's right.
When did you get married?
- Five years ago.
After I got out of prison.
- What did you do time for?
Juhani, the past is the past.
What's up?
- We're getting divorced.
My condolences.
Is there anything I can do?
Does she have a new man?
I need a woman.
- No kidding.
An innocent-looking,
sane Finnish woman.
Does she need to have sex with you?
- No. No, she doesn't.
What then?
I want her to move
into our house for a while.
And pretend she's my girlfriend,
so Tuula moves out.
I guess you're not the average
boring guy I thought you were.
A week.
- It'll be a grand a day.
You make that much listening to people
whine about their relationships?
No, I definitely don't.
If Yrsa or one of her guys asks about
me, tell them I've moved to Argentina.
What? - Never mind.
I saw the same guy at the gym.
I heard him talk about Wolffi.
Me might be the missing link.
Wolffi might be his front man.
Mave you seen Dad lately? - No.
Me's changed a lot
now that he's gotten old.
Me often babysits Eemeli. - Wow.
Me hasn't touched drugs for years
as far as I know.
What's the shittiest part in my job?
Guys who just want to get laid.
Cops are nothing
compared to them. - Right.
To them,
whores are nothing but objects.
A philosopher's mind
in a pimp's body.
Go in. But don't cause any trouble.
The other one is going
into the Golden Palm Tree.
A small beer.
Mi. - Hi.
There's no one here.
And I won't have sex
with you either. Get it?
Mave I asked for it?
- Not yet.
I need to talk to you
about something important.
Yrsa knows you were
with Natalia when she died.
Someone killed her
and took the money.
81,500.
It wasn't me.
- It doesn't matter.
If Yrsa thinks it was,
they're going to come looking for you.
Yrsa has no choice,
or the mob will get her.
I don't know anything
about any money. - I got that.
You have to go into hiding.
I've got a great idea.
Listen. - No...
We're playing rough now.
If you can call this playing.
I understand that.
- No, I don't think you do.
You never understood anything.
Nina, I can't protect you if you
stay here. - I don't need protection.
Mi. - Hi.
I need a small favor.
I'll give you two grand.
This guy stood me up.
I'm a bit busy today.
Mow about tomorrow? - Well...
Tomorrow is another day.
You've got a cannon?
What? - A 9 mm.
I need to execute this guy.
Alright. - 0h hi.
Leave us. We've got business.
Is that okay with you?
- Sure. Have a nice evening.
Think about tomorrow,
okay. - I will.
What the fuck was that?
- We were just discussing literature.
Everything's set. Nina's all yours,
starting tomorrow. - Thanks.
Just make sure you don't fall in love
with her or start wanting sex.
You can go.
I'll stick around for a while.
Mey, buddy.
What are you doing tomorrow?
Until death do you part.
I was only six when I saw
my mother for the last time.
We were at the amusement park,
and she bought me a cotton candy.
Mow can anyone
abandon a child like that?
Maybe I'm just afraid of commitment.
Maybe I just can't fully give myself
to another person.
Marjut. Do you think I'm cold?
Stop feeling so guilty.
The divorce isn't your fault.
You don't have to feel
ashamed for wanting love.
Tuula, you have nothing
to be ashamed of.
We all want love.
Juhani should've given it to you.
My mom dated Juhani's father
when they were young.
Did I ever tell you that?
- Yes, you did.
Their relationship never worked out.
They did drugs together or something.
Could it be -
that their relationship contaminated
my relationship with Juhani?
Yeah. - Juhani and I
tried to stay together -
You weren't.
I mean, not perfectly right.
I'm sorry.
I'm just telling it as it is.
Why didn't you tell me before?
Masn't Wolffi
come home yet? - No.
Listen. I think Eemeli has fever.
I tried to find a thermometer
that would work.
We don't have one.
- Feel his forehead.
I'll go get something for his fever.
- He fell asleep at ten.
Me hasn't eaten much.
Listen, Kitty.
Are you having problems with Wolffi?
- What do you mean?
Are you?
Okay, the coast is clear.
- Listen. We need to talk.
I tried calling you
several times. - I noticed.
Eemeli has fever.
Why didn't you answer?
I had to sort things out
with Juhani.
Nothing to concern yourself with.
- Why couldn't you stay in Big Baba?
Me's the type of guy
who doesn't divorce just like that.
What type of guy
are you then? - What?
Right? And you're a good girl.
Juhani!
You piece of shit!
Me? Nothing.
Oh, that. I'm sorry.
Yeah, what was that all about?
Your boyfriend? - Right.
Why don't you go over to his place?
You were there last night. - Right.
So did you fuck his brains out?
- That's none of your business.
Your girlfriend?
- That's right.
Didn't she learn a lesson last time?
- This is a different one.
You've got to be kidding.
- Sorry, but I'm not.
Hi, Marco. - Hi.
Sorry about yesterday.
I got scared or something.
I'll be there in a couple of hours.
Mi there.
Finally. - Yeah.
Juhani, this is Nina.
Nina, this is Juhani. - Hi.
Wake up.
- Oh yes. Mi.
I'll leave you two to negotiate.
Everything okay?
Err. Well...
Wolffi told me to...
- Not here.
Oh? 0kay.
I thought you always
had to pay in advance. - No.
You see,
I've never bought a woman before.
So you need a girlfriend?
Yeah. I mean no.
Not like that.
Don't get me wrong.
My wife...
I mean, I want my future ex-wife
to think you're my girlfriend.
What?
- Usually it's the other way around.
Men don't want their wives
to think I'm their girlfriend.
But it'll be a nice
change of pace. - Great.
What's our story?
What story?
- Like where we met.
That's the first thing
your wife will ask.
Right. 0f course. I see.
Of course.
I never thought about that.
Wolffi.
You have to understand
I can't protect you much longer.
"No use playing the hypocrite."
Let me take care of this.
N0 TRESPASSING
We'll go to Helsinki to find out what
happened to Natalia and the money.
I'm afraid Tuula will notice
that our feelings are not genuine.
Kiss me.
I'm serious. Kiss me.
Stick your tongue in my mouth.
Look at me. - Yes.
C'mon!
Kiss her, will you?
That's the guy
the dog chased around.
It's my ex-husband.
- And who's that girl?
Shouldn't we do something?
- Like what?
Like what we practiced.
I've really got to go.
I promised Mom I would...
Oh. Nina, this is Tuula.
We agreed you wouldn't be here
when my new boyfriend is visiting.
Yes, we did. It's just that...
...they're fixing
the plumbing in Nina's building.
We're going to live here
for a couple of weeks.
The place looks lovely.
- Thanks.
Juhani, come here for a minute,
will you?
Who is this girl? Where did you meet?
- On the internet.
On the internet?
When did you have time to do that?
There's this service, and it said
we're almost a perfect match.
Take your perfect match and leave.
You're not staying here.
Downstairs is mine.
It says that in the rules.
I guess you don't know Juhani
that well, since you met online.
I was one of his patients.
- That's right.
A year? Juhani!
- Well, time flies.
Let me tell you
what kind of healer Juhani really is.
The other night he brought
some slut home and healed her too.
You think he's had it easy?
Me suffered from your affairs.
That's right.
- For heaven's sake.
I know you're young, but surely you're
not that naive and stupid. - Tuula.
Mow did you turn into that?
A patient fucker.
A wife beater!
- Stop it, will you?
She doesn't know how to
discuss things. Good luck with that.
I guess Mom will be fine with her TV.
- We'll go heat the sauna.
1 - 0 ours, I guess.
What did you put in it?
- It's a secret.
Tuula doesn't know how to cook,
so I've had to learn.
I ordered books through the internet.
You could teach me. I can't
even make a macaroni casserole.
You learn by doing.
Although there are some basics.
Like in sex.
- Oh yes. That's right.
Sweet, salty, sour, bitter.
Umami.
My ex-husband. Remember that.
It's my turn to use the kitchen,
so why don't you...
Don't get upset. You can't
get upset if you want her out.
But you still want
me to stay? - Yes.
And you want to get some revenge?
- Yes, I do want to get some revenge.
Don't drink!
We have to be able to think straight.
Let's go to your room. - Why?
I'll tell you later.
Where did they go?
Moan! - I can't.
Close your eyes.
Louder!
Now we're coming!
Let's go! - 0h, yes.
It's too quiet.
What are you doing?
- I'll be there in a minute.
Okay.
Rent a car and find the whore.
Wolffi must have warned her.
I'm guessing she's not home.
Or maybe that's exactly
why she is there.
If you can't find her, follow Wolffi.
Sooner or later, he'll go see her.
No unnecessary violence, okay?
Is it Grandpa?
What a surprise.
What a surprise!
You want coffee?
Mere you go.
Where's Wolffi?
- At work, I guess.
You know where Nina is?
Mas Wolffi hidden her?
I've tried asking him,
but he won't say anything.
Yrsa, promise me Wolffi is safe.
You have Nina's cell number? - No.
Are Niilo and Wolffi keeping in touch?
Yes. They're taking Eemeli
to the amusement park today.
How's it going, little guy?
Mello.
Aging suits you.
- Thanks. You too.
Are you on vacation? - Yes.
Funny running into you.
I have to go. - What...
What's the hurry?
It would've been nice to talk.
Thanks. You think I should hide it?
You wife might snoop
through your things. - True.
Absolutely true.
My wife hates my DVDs.
She'll never find it here.
I'm sorry, I haven't cleaned lately.
Mey, why don't we go
roller-skating? - No way.
I can't. I once tried
and almost got run over by a truck.
It might've been the best thing for
everyone. - Nonsense. I'll teach you.
I hope he hurts himself good.
Are you alright?
- Oh yeah.
I'm just stretching.
I don't know what to do anymore.
- Tuula, cool down, okay.
Oh my God.
I totally understand you.
This is crazy. Look...
Mind if I get something to drink?
Go ahead.
- Should I get you something too?
I have to take these off first.
Mi. - Hi.
The weather's perfect
for flying. - 0h.
You want to test my machine?
- Sure, why not. It would be lovely.
That's my juice.
Damn thief.
I'll go get some.
- Oh, no. Don't.
Let me take those off.
Tuula has a guest.
- Another man?
A woman.
Very lady-like.
- Oh, it's Marjut.
She's a snake.
Tuula's best friend.
Mey, should we make love again?
- You want to?
You don't answer your friends' calls
anymore? - Fuck off!
Calm down. I won't tell Tuula.
Pekka... - Why don't you
introduce me to your girlfriend.
She's sleeping.
Let's go wake her up.
- I don't think so.
So, have you shared
intimate moments? - No.
Pekka, it's none of
your business. - Yes, it is.
You're my best friend.
Your intimate moments are my business.
Introduce us. You have to.
In the plane? - No.
It looks good.
Mow does he...
Marjut, meet Pekka Korpi.
A gynecologist
and the biggest misogynist I know.
Tuula, you're flattering me.
Stop. Calm down. It's me.
Why is your phone switched off?
I have to be able to reach you.
- Wasn't I supposed to be hiding?
Who's going to find me here
unless they follow you?
I know when I'm being followed.
My father's friend has a villa
in Marbella. It's a really nice place.
And you have money, too.
- What money?
C'mon. Where is it? Is it here?
- There's no money.
C'mon, Nina.
We need to cool things off.
Go home and
cool things off with your wife.
You got your eyes
on Juhani's money now?
C'mon, Wolffi. Stop it.
- Are you coming?
No. But you're going or I'll scream.
Fine. It's your choice.
But it's not my fault if you die.
So you think motherhood
is the ultimate goal in life?
But of course, for God's sake.
What's the meaning of life,
if not motherhood?
For me, it isn't work
or traveling with my partner.
Our trips were pure hell.
Remember, Tuula? - Were they?
Crete. Athens.
- You just can't cope with the heat.
I wanted to say something...
- The meaning of life?
What is it,
if not the power of giving birth?
That's the biggest,
most beautiful thing in life.
I'd rather be a mother
than the president of Nokia.
That I can believe.
Mi. How's it going over here?
- Finally sensible male company.
I was just about to come get you.
Okay, Pekka. This is Nina.
You haven't met?
Don't guys always introduce
their mistresses to their friends?
I'm sure you understand why
Juhani hasn't introduced her to me.
Money? - "Honey?"
Who is this sweet talker?
"What do you want, woman?"
That's what you used to say, right?
No, I didn't.
- Can I get you guys something?
[Skipped item nr. 572]
Juhani, what's going on here?
Shockingly beautiful women!
Tonight I'm going to have a rough one
with Marjut. - You think she wants it?
Of course. Didn't you notice
the way she looked at me?
She gives me goose bumps.
"Life's but a walking shadow, -
and then is heard no more."
William Shakespeare.
Let's toast to him.
Pekka, why don't we toast to divorce.
Isn't that what we're celebrating?
Look who's here.
Go! Run to Daddy.
Daddy missed you.
Did you have a good time? - Sure.
We had a blast waiting for you.
Sorry I'm late. Let's go find
a nice ride for you. - Sure.
Me's a brave boy.
- That's right.
I hope he won't be reckless, though.
It'll make life complicated.
What are you trying to say?
Mow does that much money
just disappear?
I didn't take it, so I'm not paying.
I couldn't afford to even if I had.
But have you thought about
making a living some other way? - Yes.
Is it Niilo or Kitty talking now?
- It's me talking.
You have to look after your family.
- Look who's talking.
The ball is no longer in my court.
If anyone can break this cycle that's
been going on forever, it's you.
I'm just a ball boy.
If you end up in jail again,
you'll lose Eemeli. - I know.
It's up to you not to pass all
this shit onto the next generation.
I'm trying.
- Try not to get killed, okay.
What do you mean?
- Yrsa's here.
What? Mow do you know?
I bumped into her
in your hallway. - 0kay.
Those two again.
From the east, maybe.
- I knew it.
They're linked to fatso
and his visit to Big Baba.
You need to grow up.
- Oh yeah?
About 20 centimeters.
Raising men is a lot harder
than bringing up kids.
Juhani is a good example of that.
Since we never had children,
Juhani was able to act like one.
And do anything he wanted.
That's why
he can't face life's problems.
Don't you say anything
about children. - Why not?
Are you the topic censor here?
Stop. - I'll say whatever I want.
Child, child, child, child...
- Shut up.
You aborted our chance
to raise a child.
Juhani, I never wanted a child.
I already had you.
- I wanted a child.
Although I don't even know if
it was mine. - 0f course it was.
"0f course it was."
- Okay. Fine.
It wasn't necessarily yours.
Of course I cheated on you!
I forgive you. I'm full of mercy.
Mow do you think a woman
could go on for years without sex?
If you had taken care of my garden,
it wouldn't have grown wild.
You forced me to sleep
in the sperm of all those men.
And then you tell me it's my fault.
- You never slept with me.
I did. Before you killed that child.
You aborted our child.
Mow can I sleep with a bitch
who killed our baby?
Don't be childish.
- I'm not. I'm childless.
Stop!
Stop!
Forget about it. I'm here.
Let's go to bed. I'm tired.
I'll stay. I need to calm down.
Why don't you
have a little chat with Nina.
What? - Go talk to her.
Marjut, you've restored
my faith in women.
Big words, little man.
Cold, wise, arrogant,
intelligent and beautiful.
I've never been with a midget before.
I can assure you that not everything
about me is midget sized.
You're ruining the lawn.
Let's bury this marriage
once and for all, for fuck's sake.
For the years we spent together.
Let's get out of here.
On my plane. Nina, wake up.
Mow's it going here?
Calm down.
- Get out! Get out!
I thought we were together.
- Oh, c'mon. Don't feed me that crap.
You wanted her all along.
She's just not into you.
You don't know everything I do.
- Tell me. What don't I know?
Nina met a guy named Wolffi today.
They argued about some business.
Wolffi? Where? When?
In your husband's room.
When you were outside with Marjut.
She's one of Wolffi's whores!
I love you!
Right.
"How weary, stale, flat
and unprofitable seem to me -
all the uses of this world!"
"Fie on't! Ah fie!"
"That it should come to this!"
You left me alone.
- You did the same to me.
It doesn't have to be.
Tiina. - What?
Let's go before they get out of sight.
They won't.
I want that baby.
I didn't mean that.
I meant we shouldn't give up.
Let's not give up then.
Deal? - Deal.
Okay, quick then.
She must be Nina.
I know she's with you
for money. - What?
You hired her from Wolffi.
Poor baby.
You were so jealous.
Pumpkin.
But Nina and I are in love for real.
- Isn't everyone here?
Get dressed.
Take it easy.
Please respond.
This is Timo.
I called you.
They're on the beach.
Who? - The others.
Where are they?
Somewhere.
Go inside. I'll check the beach.
And you. Stay where you are!
Stop it! Stop!
Stop! - Police! Freeze!
Get up! Hands against the wall.
Move it!
You too. Against the wall.
Mi. Where's Tuula?
- Against the wall!
Oh, Wolffi. Hi.
Nice house. - Shut up!
Shoot it!
Let me go!
I haven't done anything!
Alright, Nina. Be a good girl
and tell me where the money is.
Mom.
Don't leave me here!
You'd report us to the police.
- No, I wouldn't.
Let me go. Mom, let me go.
Why? Tell me why.
You don't remember
what I was like then. - I do.
You're my mom.
I thought you'd take care of me.
You don't remember
what it was really like back then.
I haven't heard from you
in thirty years.
I've only read about you
in the papers.
You don't know shit about my life.
What were you doing there?
- Excuse me, where?
You've been seen
sneaking around the house.
What were you doing there?
- Oh there.
I was picking flowers
for my brother's divorce party.
You're Nina's pimp, right?
Now I remember you.
Why did Wolffi come to the house?
- He's my brother.
Me came over for our
I feel we've moved forward.
We've talked a lot.
I feel Timo understands me...
Why did he come in
through the garage?
I don't know how he got in.
Wolffi is your little brother. True?
- You know he is.
You're the ringleader.
And little brothers work
for their big brothers, right?
I'm not a criminal. I'm a family
therapist! - We believe you. For now.
Let us know if you hear anything.
For Tuula's sake.
What happened?
Me's clearly hiding something.
Maybe there's something
we still don't know.
What do we do with Wolffi?
We don't have
any evidence to hold him.
Why don't we let him go
and keep him under surveillance.
What is it? Don't...
Where's Eemeli?
- With the babysitter.
Juhani, have you heard from Tuula?
You have to find out
what happened to her.
Mow do I do that?
Mey, everything's going to be okay!
It's going to be okay!
Mi. - Hi.
I guess we'll get going.
Is there anything I can do to help?
- No thanks, I'll be fine.
Juhani. I'd like to talk to you.
- About what?
We haven't seen each other in ten
years. - I have nothing to say to you.
I could take you to a hotel.
Yrsa won't do anything to Tuula,
will she? - I don't think so.
Juhani, I'm really sorry for everything
that happened back then.
When I was young, the conditions...
- Yes, I remember the conditions!
I just want to apologize.
I wish I had done things differently.
So do you want a ride? - Yeah.
Call 041555434.
Who is this?
- If you call the police, Tuula dies.
Wait...
Safe. For now.
Can I talk to her? - No.
I can't do that.
- Why not?
Because... I love Nina.
- Nina is a whore.
Nina is a crazy whore
who killed a woman for money.
I won't release her from her debt.
Call me in an hour.
I didn't kill her.
She was drunk, sitting on the window-
sill having a smoke, when she fell.
Did you take the money?
You think I took the money
and killed her. - I don't.
Juhani, I've always been serious
about you. I want you to know that.
We can go into hiding somewhere.
- I can't leave Tuula.
Call us a cab.
Thanks.
I lied to you. I took the money.
But I didn't kill Natalia.
Do you believe me?
Are you sure I want Tuula?
Jussi, my son.
You look alike.
I hope you take better care of him
than you did of me.
That's a hell of a nice thing to say.
- You're scrappy.
You hiss. Maybe it's good
that I wasn't a better mom.
I worked hard to get by in life.
I have a good life, and I don't need
to see or hear about you.
That's what I'm proud of.
Damn proud.
I don't need anyone.
Don't touch me!
Pumpkin wants you back.
You were completely wrong.
- What do you mean?
You do need people.
It's great to hear you say that.
Marco!
Could you give me a ride?
Whereto?
- It doesn't matter.
It might.
Darling, if you were to go
How I'd survive, I just don't know
Without you, life is bleak and gray
Like the weather on a cloudy day
I offer my heart and nothing less
I give you all that I possess
Like a loving shadow you can depend
I'll be at your side until the end
Like a loving shadow you can depend
I'll be at your side until the end
I treated you like a rose, it's true
But all I got were thorns from you
[Skipped item nr. 792]
[Skipped item nr. 793]
You broke my heart
And yet it's still beating
You had your fun and threw it away
My heart was just a thing for play
Without you, life is bleak and gray
Like the weather on a cloudy day
Like a loving shadow, you can depend
I'll be at your side until the end
It makes me weak
And turns my knees into jelly
All I can do is love you truly

THE H0USE OF BRANCHING L0VE
You can't come here.
No, I'm not going anywhere.
Get away from there.
Are you nuts?
Sorry. - That's okay.
Did you hurt yourself?
- No, I'm fine.
Did you see what happened? - Yes.
Mello? - Did you find out
who killed Natalia and took the money?
Not yet.
The Estonian mob wants to know.
Natalia was family to them.
Can't we pay it
out of our own pocket? - No.
We have to play by the rules.
Yrsa. Can't we at least agree that
you won't be calling me this late?
You just woke Eemeli up.
- Regards to your family.
Morning. - Morning.
Did you sleep well?
I did, since you weren't
snoring next to me.
Was that humor? - Yes.
Puts you in a peppy mood
first thing in the morning.
"Blue-green algae hits the shores"
- More algae on our way.
"Woman falls through hotel window"
What's this world coming to.
Everything is so sad.
If we're both going to live here, -
we have to set some rules.
On co-habiting.
On co-existing in this house.
It's good to have clear rules.
I already wrote...
...this proposal.
Without asking me? - You can
give your opinion, of course.
"The garbage payment..."
- It's surprisingly high.
I can pay that.
- No, we'll split it.
Whatever you want.
- "We'll each have our own rooms."
"New people are
not allowed in the house."
You're going to find some
single mom right away? - Me?
No. I thought you might want to.
Forget it.
If we can't agree on this,
just forget it.
If we don't do it now,
we'll never do it.
Right. - Good.
I have to get going.
As in a good relationship, -
JUHANI HELIN,
FAMILY C0UNSEL0R
outdoing ourselves.
Content people
don't have to be motivated.
My employer
doesn't have to motivate me -
because I like what I do.
Where does happiness
come from then?
But it won't necessarily happen again.
Sudden infant death is not hereditary.
Of course it can happen again, dammit.
Of course it can,
but it's extremely unlikely.
That it would replace Santtu.
Maybe it was meant to be.
Maybe Timo and I
are not meant to be a couple.
Or if it wasn't a sign
and there's no one guiding us, -
what's the point?
Mis death stopped us from living.
We can't let it go.
May I give you my opinion?
Children are
the most precious thing in life.
You'll be fine once you get laid.
- C'mon, Pekka.
It's true. Painfully true.
Tuula will take the upstairs bedroom.
I'll move downstairs to the study.
Juhani! For Christ's sake!
We're going bar-hopping?
- Of course.
As soon as we get rid of your stuff.
I'll be your chaperone.
When Anu and I got divorced, -
I saw the animal in her
that we all have inside us.
She was always
the calm and smart one.
But when we were getting divorced,
she scratched my face till I bled.
I had to take her
to a shrink every day.
And I had to pay
because Anu blamed me for it.
Why don't you move my bed too
while you're at it.
I always wanted it here,
but Juhani didn't. - 0kay.
It's been a long time
since my bed has seen -
what men and women have been doing
since the beginning of time.
I'm not the only woman
who has experienced this.
Don't generalize.
I can't identify with that problem.
My partners complain of the opposite.
Well, but you're
every woman's dream, Pekka.
As a therapist, you should know
that a real man doesn't do that.
Okay, I'll shut up.
I know you're on the rebound.
You're vulnerable.
My relationships
always ended in an explosion.
That's right. There's got to be
blood and broken glass.
May I give you advice?
I'm not in the mood
for your kitchen psychology. - Right.
I have empirical data.
You've never been
through a real breakup as an adult.
Don't fall in love
with the first woman you meet.
I don't necessarily
feel like falling in love.
I've hauled so much tuna
from this place -
that if the European Union ever
found out, they'd set a catch limit.
Pick any girl you want.
- Pekka, Pekka...
Forget it. I don't think
I'm ready to pick up women yet.
Stop that middle-class babble.
Follow your instincts, Juhani.
Mere's to tonight.
Great to see you, girls.
You're sniffing the air. That's good.
It's rare to spot
three beautiful women at one time.
Usually you have one beautiful woman,
and the others are there to frame her.
One important thing.
Beauty is a trap.
Their heads are full
of self-asserting fantasies.
They harvest
fat suburban men like you -
as if it was grain
in a Soviet collective farm.
Technically, our house is in the city.
Can't we just drink? - Drinking
is boring. It's not real life.
Those two. 0n the platform.
Blitzkrieg in Poland.
I'll go frontline.
I'm Sanna. This is Liisa.
Juhani is an astrologist.
Me'll read your palm.
I'll read your palm.
I have sensitive hands.
I'm a gynecologist.
You're not a gynecologist.
- I am. Who would lie about that?
So, what do you really do?
- I'm a family therapist.
You're not. - I am.
I work in the public sector,
so anyone can use me.
Feel free.
Can I get you something to drink?
- Please.
Mow does a family therapist
wind up divorced?
I guess it's easier to preach
than to practice.
Mow long were you married?
- Almost ten years.
Mow does it feel to be single again?
I don't know.
At least it sounds stupid.
"Single."
I used to be pretty good-looking,
you know.
But when you've been married
to a mannish woman for ten years, -
the only thing you want to do is eat.
There's nothing else to do.
I'm sorry. I didn't mean to open up.
Should we open something else?
Yeah, I might have
a bottle of red wine.
Come here.
I'm still on the rebound.
I'm sorry. I can't do this.
Mey, that's okay.
That was just my wife.
You said you were divorced! - Yes.
Technically I am.
There's just this little arrangement.
Mow dare you? We agreed
we wouldn't bring anyone here!
Get the hell out!
Get out! - I'm going...
Go! Go!
I called the fire department.
Is everything alright?
Yeah. Thanks.
The fire is over there.
What happened?
I accidentally dropped
a cigar in that bush.
Mow can a bush be so dry.
We'll take it from here. - 0kay.
Why don't you go inside. - 0kay.
Stay inside, will you?
- Okay. Sure.
The fire was over there. - Thanks.
There were flames. - Morning.
Why?
Tell me why.
Why do you want to hurt me?
Mow can you fuck
a stranger in our home -
when you haven't had
sex with me in years?
Right. Don't say anything.
Maybe I don't want you -
because you've become so
superficial, selfish and unfeminine.
Is that what I've become?
And when did you become -
such an impotent,
unmasculine, fat piece of shit?
You really think I even wanted you?
Listen... - No, you listen.
You could've at least
tried to lose some weight.
An embarrassment
just to be seen with you.
Going to the refrigerator? What?
I want to know why you haven't
gotten rid of your double chin.
And the cellulite on your ass.
There must be a tool for that.
You could have done
something about your face too.
You're 35,
and you look like your mother.
I don't look like my mother.
My mother lives in Estonia, and you
don't even know what she looks like.
Your mother runs a prostitution ring.
- There's nothing I can do about that.
You'll move out tomorrow!
Go stay with that fucking Pekka.
I'm not going anywhere.
You can go to hell. - This is my home.
We haven't bought this house
with your money, that's for sure.
Why did you fuck that slut then?
Don't call her names
when you don't even know her.
"No new sluts." Right?
What the hell does it matter
what I do?
We're divorced, for fuck's sake!
Mow would you like me to stuff this
down your throat?
You're going to hit me again?
I'm sure you'd like watching,
since doing isn't your thing. - Right.
Now I got it.
There's something gay about you.
You'd like to watch
a real man fuck me?
You think I don't know
you cheated on me?
Mow many men were there?
I've never cheated on you
even though I've had good reason.
I can see it in your face, you...
Not even divorce can justify this...
- Don't change the subject!
Say what's on your mind for once,
you eunuch!
You fucking leg-spreading!
Okay, kids, let's go.
Everything's under control.
AIR TAXI
Yeah.
- Hi, is this Marco?
Yeah.
It's me, Tuula Helin.
I'm sorry to call you this late.
- That's okay. You need a ride?
We spent a night together
at the ski resort in April.
Remember? - Sure.
Mow's it going?
- I'm fine. I mean I'm really good.
Would you like to have
dinner at my place?
Aren't you married?
- I was married.
How about tomorrow?
I live in Kuusisaari.
I'll come flying.
- Just as long as you come.
Mands off!
I'm having someone over for dinner.
You can decide if you want to be here
when I fuck his brains out -
or if you'd rather go to a hotel
or to that fucking Pekka's house.
Do you really have to be so crude?
Who is he?
That's none of business.
- Yes, it is.
Me could steal something.
- Like what? Your stinking DVDs?
We had a deal.
- Did you abide by it last night?
"No new sluts."
- I'm sorry.
I don't know what got into me.
- I know exactly what got into you.
Ten more minutes.
Let the sweat wash our sins away.
Sanna gave you a gift.
Just accept it.
Thanks to her,
your rebound will be over quicker.
Tuula said she invited someone over
for dinner. You think she's lying?
It's not the first time
she's got her oven hot for him.
Juhani. Seriously,
as a friend, grow up.
Let Tuula fuck her brains out.
Mi.
So you actually came flying.
- I said I would.
Should we get started right away...
eating, I mean.
Oh no. I'd have to come home
with a really beautiful woman.
Tuula could watch when I do her...
Christ, what am I thinking...
Mow come I'm so upset?
I should be happy I got rid of her.
That's a great idea.
Give Wolffi a call. - Mell, no.
Is he still pimping?
- I don't know. Why?
You said you want to get
some revenge. It's a great idea.
I don't think I can fly after this.
- Well, you don't have to.
You've got to be kidding.
- No, I'm serious.
Let go! Let go!
You know this guy?
- Yeah, I do. Unfortunately.
Rico, come here!
Go back to Daddy!
I'm sorry.
Maybe we should
go inside. - Sure.
It's me, Juhani.
Juhani who?
- Juhani Helin.
Your stepbrother. - What?
Oh, my stepbrother Juhani!
Mow's it going?
I'll tell the guy at the door
to let you in. - Okay.
Err...
What? - I'm sorry.
I can't do this. - What?
Mi. - Get back here,
or I'll rip you apart.
Where do you think you're going?
It's ten to get in.
I'm sorry. Sure.
Mere you go.
Is Wolffi here already?
You're Juhani?
- Yes, I am. Juhani Helin.
Me's downstairs.
You think I'm a psychic?
Damn, it's you.
You've grown.
- That's right.
Mey, you've been avoiding me.
- No, I haven't. I've been eating.
C'mon, just admit it. You and Tuula
want to keep a healthy distance.
That's okay.
Mello. - This is Kitty,
my lovely wife.
Eemeli's mother.
- Wolffi has mentioned you.
Niilo is your father too.
- That's right.
When did you get married?
- Five years ago.
After I got out of prison.
- What did you do time for?
Juhani, the past is the past.
What's up?
- We're getting divorced.
My condolences.
Is there anything I can do?
Does she have a new man?
I need a woman.
- No kidding.
An innocent-looking,
sane Finnish woman.
Does she need to have sex with you?
- No. No, she doesn't.
What then?
I want her to move
into our house for a while.
And pretend she's my girlfriend,
so Tuula moves out.
I guess you're not the average
boring guy I thought you were.
A week.
- It'll be a grand a day.
You make that much listening to people
whine about their relationships?
No, I definitely don't.
If Yrsa or one of her guys asks about
me, tell them I've moved to Argentina.
What? - Never mind.
I saw the same guy at the gym.
I heard him talk about Wolffi.
Me might be the missing link.
Wolffi might be his front man.
Mave you seen Dad lately? - No.
Me's changed a lot
now that he's gotten old.
Me often babysits Eemeli. - Wow.
Me hasn't touched drugs for years
as far as I know.
What's the shittiest part in my job?
Guys who just want to get laid.
Cops are nothing
compared to them. - Right.
To them,
whores are nothing but objects.
A philosopher's mind
in a pimp's body.
Go in. But don't cause any trouble.
The other one is going
into the Golden Palm Tree.
A small beer.
Mi. - Hi.
There's no one here.
And I won't have sex
with you either. Get it?
Mave I asked for it?
- Not yet.
I need to talk to you
about something important.
Yrsa knows you were
with Natalia when she died.
Someone killed her
and took the money.
81,500.
It wasn't me.
- It doesn't matter.
If Yrsa thinks it was,
they're going to come looking for you.
Yrsa has no choice,
or the mob will get her.
I don't know anything
about any money. - I got that.
You have to go into hiding.
I've got a great idea.
Listen. - No...
We're playing rough now.
If you can call this playing.
I understand that.
- No, I don't think you do.
You never understood anything.
Nina, I can't protect you if you
stay here. - I don't need protection.
Mi. - Hi.
I need a small favor.
I'll give you two grand.
This guy stood me up.
I'm a bit busy today.
Mow about tomorrow? - Well...
Tomorrow is another day.
You've got a cannon?
What? - A 9 mm.
I need to execute this guy.
Alright. - 0h hi.
Leave us. We've got business.
Is that okay with you?
- Sure. Have a nice evening.
Think about tomorrow,
okay. - I will.
What the fuck was that?
- We were just discussing literature.
Everything's set. Nina's all yours,
starting tomorrow. - Thanks.
Just make sure you don't fall in love
with her or start wanting sex.
You can go.
I'll stick around for a while.
Mey, buddy.
What are you doing tomorrow?
Until death do you part.
I was only six when I saw
my mother for the last time.
We were at the amusement park,
and she bought me a cotton candy.
Mow can anyone
abandon a child like that?
Maybe I'm just afraid of commitment.
Maybe I just can't fully give myself
to another person.
Marjut. Do you think I'm cold?
Stop feeling so guilty.
The divorce isn't your fault.
You don't have to feel
ashamed for wanting love.
Tuula, you have nothing
to be ashamed of.
We all want love.
Juhani should've given it to you.
My mom dated Juhani's father
when they were young.
Did I ever tell you that?
- Yes, you did.
Their relationship never worked out.
They did drugs together or something.
Could it be -
that their relationship contaminated
my relationship with Juhani?
Yeah. - Juhani and I
tried to stay together -
You weren't.
I mean, not perfectly right.
I'm sorry.
I'm just telling it as it is.
Why didn't you tell me before?
Masn't Wolffi
come home yet? - No.
Listen. I think Eemeli has fever.
I tried to find a thermometer
that would work.
We don't have one.
- Feel his forehead.
I'll go get something for his fever.
- He fell asleep at ten.
Me hasn't eaten much.
Listen, Kitty.
Are you having problems with Wolffi?
- What do you mean?
Are you?
Okay, the coast is clear.
- Listen. We need to talk.
I tried calling you
several times. - I noticed.
Eemeli has fever.
Why didn't you answer?
I had to sort things out
with Juhani.
Nothing to concern yourself with.
- Why couldn't you stay in Big Baba?
Me's the type of guy
who doesn't divorce just like that.
What type of guy
are you then? - What?
Right? And you're a good girl.
Juhani!
You piece of shit!
Me? Nothing.
Oh, that. I'm sorry.
Yeah, what was that all about?
Your boyfriend? - Right.
Why don't you go over to his place?
You were there last night. - Right.
So did you fuck his brains out?
- That's none of your business.
Your girlfriend?
- That's right.
Didn't she learn a lesson last time?
- This is a different one.
You've got to be kidding.
- Sorry, but I'm not.
Hi, Marco. - Hi.
Sorry about yesterday.
I got scared or something.
I'll be there in a couple of hours.
Mi there.
Finally. - Yeah.
Juhani, this is Nina.
Nina, this is Juhani. - Hi.
Wake up.
- Oh yes. Mi.
I'll leave you two to negotiate.
Everything okay?
Err. Well...
Wolffi told me to...
- Not here.
Oh? 0kay.
I thought you always
had to pay in advance. - No.
You see,
I've never bought a woman before.
So you need a girlfriend?
Yeah. I mean no.
Not like that.
Don't get me wrong.
My wife...
I mean, I want my future ex-wife
to think you're my girlfriend.
What?
- Usually it's the other way around.
Men don't want their wives
to think I'm their girlfriend.
But it'll be a nice
change of pace. - Great.
What's our story?
What story?
- Like where we met.
That's the first thing
your wife will ask.
Right. 0f course. I see.
Of course.
I never thought about that.
Wolffi.
You have to understand
I can't protect you much longer.
"No use playing the hypocrite."
Let me take care of this.
N0 TRESPASSING
We'll go to Helsinki to find out what
happened to Natalia and the money.
I'm afraid Tuula will notice
that our feelings are not genuine.
Kiss me.
I'm serious. Kiss me.
Stick your tongue in my mouth.
Look at me. - Yes.
C'mon!
Kiss her, will you?
That's the guy
the dog chased around.
It's my ex-husband.
- And who's that girl?
Shouldn't we do something?
- Like what?
Like what we practiced.
I've really got to go.
I promised Mom I would...
Oh. Nina, this is Tuula.
We agreed you wouldn't be here
when my new boyfriend is visiting.
Yes, we did. It's just that...
...they're fixing
the plumbing in Nina's building.
We're going to live here
for a couple of weeks.
The place looks lovely.
- Thanks.
Juhani, come here for a minute,
will you?
Who is this girl? Where did you meet?
- On the internet.
On the internet?
When did you have time to do that?
There's this service, and it said
we're almost a perfect match.
Take your perfect match and leave.
You're not staying here.
Downstairs is mine.
It says that in the rules.
I guess you don't know Juhani
that well, since you met online.
I was one of his patients.
- That's right.
A year? Juhani!
- Well, time flies.
Let me tell you
what kind of healer Juhani really is.
The other night he brought
some slut home and healed her too.
You think he's had it easy?
Me suffered from your affairs.
That's right.
- For heaven's sake.
I know you're young, but surely you're
not that naive and stupid. - Tuula.
Mow did you turn into that?
A patient fucker.
A wife beater!
- Stop it, will you?
She doesn't know how to
discuss things. Good luck with that.
I guess Mom will be fine with her TV.
- We'll go heat the sauna.
1 - 0 ours, I guess.
What did you put in it?
- It's a secret.
Tuula doesn't know how to cook,
so I've had to learn.
I ordered books through the internet.
You could teach me. I can't
even make a macaroni casserole.
You learn by doing.
Although there are some basics.
Like in sex.
- Oh yes. That's right.
Sweet, salty, sour, bitter.
Umami.
My ex-husband. Remember that.
It's my turn to use the kitchen,
so why don't you...
Don't get upset. You can't
get upset if you want her out.
But you still want
me to stay? - Yes.
And you want to get some revenge?
- Yes, I do want to get some revenge.
Don't drink!
We have to be able to think straight.
Let's go to your room. - Why?
I'll tell you later.
Where did they go?
Moan! - I can't.
Close your eyes.
Louder!
Now we're coming!
Let's go! - 0h, yes.
It's too quiet.
What are you doing?
- I'll be there in a minute.
Okay.
Rent a car and find the whore.
Wolffi must have warned her.
I'm guessing she's not home.
Or maybe that's exactly
why she is there.
If you can't find her, follow Wolffi.
Sooner or later, he'll go see her.
No unnecessary violence, okay?
Is it Grandpa?
What a surprise.
What a surprise!
You want coffee?
Mere you go.
Where's Wolffi?
- At work, I guess.
You know where Nina is?
Mas Wolffi hidden her?
I've tried asking him,
but he won't say anything.
Yrsa, promise me Wolffi is safe.
You have Nina's cell number? - No.
Are Niilo and Wolffi keeping in touch?
Yes. They're taking Eemeli
to the amusement park today.
How's it going, little guy?
Mello.
Aging suits you.
- Thanks. You too.
Are you on vacation? - Yes.
Funny running into you.
I have to go. - What...
What's the hurry?
It would've been nice to talk.
Thanks. You think I should hide it?
You wife might snoop
through your things. - True.
Absolutely true.
My wife hates my DVDs.
She'll never find it here.
I'm sorry, I haven't cleaned lately.
Mey, why don't we go
roller-skating? - No way.
I can't. I once tried
and almost got run over by a truck.
It might've been the best thing for
everyone. - Nonsense. I'll teach you.
I hope he hurts himself good.
Are you alright?
- Oh yeah.
I'm just stretching.
I don't know what to do anymore.
- Tuula, cool down, okay.
Oh my God.
I totally understand you.
This is crazy. Look...
Mind if I get something to drink?
Go ahead.
- Should I get you something too?
I have to take these off first.
Mi. - Hi.
The weather's perfect
for flying. - 0h.
You want to test my machine?
- Sure, why not. It would be lovely.
That's my juice.
Damn thief.
I'll go get some.
- Oh, no. Don't.
Let me take those off.
Tuula has a guest.
- Another man?
A woman.
Very lady-like.
- Oh, it's Marjut.
She's a snake.
Tuula's best friend.
Mey, should we make love again?
- You want to?
You don't answer your friends' calls
anymore? - Fuck off!
Calm down. I won't tell Tuula.
Pekka... - Why don't you
introduce me to your girlfriend.
She's sleeping.
Let's go wake her up.
- I don't think so.
So, have you shared
intimate moments? - No.
Pekka, it's none of
your business. - Yes, it is.
You're my best friend.
Your intimate moments are my business.
Introduce us. You have to.
In the plane? - No.
It looks good.
Mow does he...
Marjut, meet Pekka Korpi.
A gynecologist
and the biggest misogynist I know.
Tuula, you're flattering me.
Stop. Calm down. It's me.
Why is your phone switched off?
I have to be able to reach you.
- Wasn't I supposed to be hiding?
Who's going to find me here
unless they follow you?
I know when I'm being followed.
My father's friend has a villa
in Marbella. It's a really nice place.
And you have money, too.
- What money?
C'mon. Where is it? Is it here?
- There's no money.
C'mon, Nina.
We need to cool things off.
Go home and
cool things off with your wife.
You got your eyes
on Juhani's money now?
C'mon, Wolffi. Stop it.
- Are you coming?
No. But you're going or I'll scream.
Fine. It's your choice.
But it's not my fault if you die.
So you think motherhood
is the ultimate goal in life?
But of course, for God's sake.
What's the meaning of life,
if not motherhood?
For me, it isn't work
or traveling with my partner.
Our trips were pure hell.
Remember, Tuula? - Were they?
Crete. Athens.
- You just can't cope with the heat.
I wanted to say something...
- The meaning of life?
What is it,
if not the power of giving birth?
That's the biggest,
most beautiful thing in life.
I'd rather be a mother
than the president of Nokia.
That I can believe.
Mi. How's it going over here?
- Finally sensible male company.
I was just about to come get you.
Okay, Pekka. This is Nina.
You haven't met?
Don't guys always introduce
their mistresses to their friends?
I'm sure you understand why
Juhani hasn't introduced her to me.
Money? - "Honey?"
Who is this sweet talker?
"What do you want, woman?"
That's what you used to say, right?
No, I didn't.
- Can I get you guys something?
[Skipped item nr. 572]
Juhani, what's going on here?
Shockingly beautiful women!
Tonight I'm going to have a rough one
with Marjut. - You think she wants it?
Of course. Didn't you notice
the way she looked at me?
She gives me goose bumps.
"Life's but a walking shadow, -
and then is heard no more."
William Shakespeare.
Let's toast to him.
Pekka, why don't we toast to divorce.
Isn't that what we're celebrating?
Look who's here.
Go! Run to Daddy.
Daddy missed you.
Did you have a good time? - Sure.
We had a blast waiting for you.
Sorry I'm late. Let's go find
a nice ride for you. - Sure.
Me's a brave boy.
- That's right.
I hope he won't be reckless, though.
It'll make life complicated.
What are you trying to say?
Mow does that much money
just disappear?
I didn't take it, so I'm not paying.
I couldn't afford to even if I had.
But have you thought about
making a living some other way? - Yes.
Is it Niilo or Kitty talking now?
- It's me talking.
You have to look after your family.
- Look who's talking.
The ball is no longer in my court.
If anyone can break this cycle that's
been going on forever, it's you.
I'm just a ball boy.
If you end up in jail again,
you'll lose Eemeli. - I know.
It's up to you not to pass all
this shit onto the next generation.
I'm trying.
- Try not to get killed, okay.
What do you mean?
- Yrsa's here.
What? Mow do you know?
I bumped into her
in your hallway. - 0kay.
Those two again.
From the east, maybe.
- I knew it.
They're linked to fatso
and his visit to Big Baba.
You need to grow up.
- Oh yeah?
About 20 centimeters.
Raising men is a lot harder
than bringing up kids.
Juhani is a good example of that.
Since we never had children,
Juhani was able to act like one.
And do anything he wanted.
That's why
he can't face life's problems.
Don't you say anything
about children. - Why not?
Are you the topic censor here?
Stop. - I'll say whatever I want.
Child, child, child, child...
- Shut up.
You aborted our chance
to raise a child.
Juhani, I never wanted a child.
I already had you.
- I wanted a child.
Although I don't even know if
it was mine. - 0f course it was.
"0f course it was."
- Okay. Fine.
It wasn't necessarily yours.
Of course I cheated on you!
I forgive you. I'm full of mercy.
Mow do you think a woman
could go on for years without sex?
If you had taken care of my garden,
it wouldn't have grown wild.
You forced me to sleep
in the sperm of all those men.
And then you tell me it's my fault.
- You never slept with me.
I did. Before you killed that child.
You aborted our child.
Mow can I sleep with a bitch
who killed our baby?
Don't be childish.
- I'm not. I'm childless.
Stop!
Stop!
Forget about it. I'm here.
Let's go to bed. I'm tired.
I'll stay. I need to calm down.
Why don't you
have a little chat with Nina.
What? - Go talk to her.
Marjut, you've restored
my faith in women.
Big words, little man.
Cold, wise, arrogant,
intelligent and beautiful.
I've never been with a midget before.
I can assure you that not everything
about me is midget sized.
You're ruining the lawn.
Let's bury this marriage
once and for all, for fuck's sake.
For the years we spent together.
Let's get out of here.
On my plane. Nina, wake up.
Mow's it going here?
Calm down.
- Get out! Get out!
I thought we were together.
- Oh, c'mon. Don't feed me that crap.
You wanted her all along.
She's just not into you.
You don't know everything I do.
- Tell me. What don't I know?
Nina met a guy named Wolffi today.
They argued about some business.
Wolffi? Where? When?
In your husband's room.
When you were outside with Marjut.
She's one of Wolffi's whores!
I love you!
Right.
"How weary, stale, flat
and unprofitable seem to me -
all the uses of this world!"
"Fie on't! Ah fie!"
"That it should come to this!"
You left me alone.
- You did the same to me.
It doesn't have to be.
Tiina. - What?
Let's go before they get out of sight.
They won't.
I want that baby.
I didn't mean that.
I meant we shouldn't give up.
Let's not give up then.
Deal? - Deal.
Okay, quick then.
She must be Nina.
I know she's with you
for money. - What?
You hired her from Wolffi.
Poor baby.
You were so jealous.
Pumpkin.
But Nina and I are in love for real.
- Isn't everyone here?
Get dressed.
Take it easy.
Please respond.
This is Timo.
I called you.
They're on the beach.
Who? - The others.
Where are they?
Somewhere.
Go inside. I'll check the beach.
And you. Stay where you are!
Stop it! Stop!
Stop! - Police! Freeze!
Get up! Hands against the wall.
Move it!
You too. Against the wall.
Mi. Where's Tuula?
- Against the wall!
Oh, Wolffi. Hi.
Nice house. - Shut up!
Shoot it!
Let me go!
I haven't done anything!
Alright, Nina. Be a good girl
and tell me where the money is.
Mom.
Don't leave me here!
You'd report us to the police.
- No, I wouldn't.
Let me go. Mom, let me go.
Why? Tell me why.
You don't remember
what I was like then. - I do.
You're my mom.
I thought you'd take care of me.
You don't remember
what it was really like back then.
I haven't heard from you
in thirty years.
I've only read about you
in the papers.
You don't know shit about my life.
What were you doing there?
- Excuse me, where?
You've been seen
sneaking around the house.
What were you doing there?
- Oh there.
I was picking flowers
for my brother's divorce party.
You're Nina's pimp, right?
Now I remember you.
Why did Wolffi come to the house?
- He's my brother.
Me came over for our
I feel we've moved forward.
We've talked a lot.
I feel Timo understands me...
Why did he come in
through the garage?
I don't know how he got in.
Wolffi is your little brother. True?
- You know he is.
You're the ringleader.
And little brothers work
for their big brothers, right?
I'm not a criminal. I'm a family
therapist! - We believe you. For now.
Let us know if you hear anything.
For Tuula's sake.
What happened?
Me's clearly hiding something.
Maybe there's something
we still don't know.
What do we do with Wolffi?
We don't have
any evidence to hold him.
Why don't we let him go
and keep him under surveillance.
What is it? Don't...
Where's Eemeli?
- With the babysitter.
Juhani, have you heard from Tuula?
You have to find out
what happened to her.
Mow do I do that?
Mey, everything's going to be okay!
It's going to be okay!
Mi. - Hi.
I guess we'll get going.
Is there anything I can do to help?
- No thanks, I'll be fine.
Juhani. I'd like to talk to you.
- About what?
We haven't seen each other in ten
years. - I have nothing to say to you.
I could take you to a hotel.
Yrsa won't do anything to Tuula,
will she? - I don't think so.
Juhani, I'm really sorry for everything
that happened back then.
When I was young, the conditions...
- Yes, I remember the conditions!
I just want to apologize.
I wish I had done things differently.
So do you want a ride? - Yeah.
Call 041555434.
Who is this?
- If you call the police, Tuula dies.
Wait...
Safe. For now.
Can I talk to her? - No.
I can't do that.
- Why not?
Because... I love Nina.
- Nina is a whore.
Nina is a crazy whore
who killed a woman for money.
I won't release her from her debt.
Call me in an hour.
I didn't kill her.
She was drunk, sitting on the window-
sill having a smoke, when she fell.
Did you take the money?
You think I took the money
and killed her. - I don't.
Juhani, I've always been serious
about you. I want you to know that.
We can go into hiding somewhere.
- I can't leave Tuula.
Call us a cab.
Thanks.
I lied to you. I took the money.
But I didn't kill Natalia.
Do you believe me?
Are you sure I want Tuula?
Jussi, my son.
You look alike.
I hope you take better care of him
than you did of me.
That's a hell of a nice thing to say.
- You're scrappy.
You hiss. Maybe it's good
that I wasn't a better mom.
I worked hard to get by in life.
I have a good life, and I don't need
to see or hear about you.
That's what I'm proud of.
Damn proud.
I don't need anyone.
Don't touch me!
Pumpkin wants you back.
You were completely wrong.
- What do you mean?
You do need people.
It's great to hear you say that.
Marco!
Could you give me a ride?
Whereto?
- It doesn't matter.
It might.
Darling, if you were to go
How I'd survive, I just don't know
Without you, life is bleak and gray
Like the weather on a cloudy day
I offer my heart and nothing less
I give you all that I possess
Like a loving shadow you can depend
I'll be at your side until the end
Like a loving shadow you can depend
I'll be at your side until the end
I treated you like a rose, it's true
But all I got were thorns from you
[Skipped item nr. 792]
[Skipped item nr. 793]
You broke my heart
And yet it's still beating
You had your fun and threw it away
My heart was just a thing for play
Without you, life is bleak and gray
Like the weather on a cloudy day
Like a loving shadow, you can depend
I'll be at your side until the end
It makes me weak
And turns my knees into jelly
All I can do is love you truly
