Bad Apples (2021) s01e07 Episode Script

1
You sent me here. We don't have
curtains. I never put them up.
I'll recite this to Gösta
on our wedding night.
Professor?
You need to come. Onerva's
pregnant. Lundsten doesn't know.
I'm going to visit my wife.
Onerva, do you know
what day it is? Onerva?
Yes?
- Are you awake?
- Can't you see she's awake?
- I am. How come?
- You've been a bit absent.
- You've been totally fucked up.
- You've had all kinds of treatments.
I thought you're going to stare
at a wall for the rest of your life.
What is it?
No
- No
- Onerva.
- I killed her
- No you didn't!
- I killed Vera.
- Be quiet. You didn't kill anyone.
- Give me something.
- What?
Give me something to drink. Water!
- Listen. You haven't killed anyone.
- I have.
- Take this. Take it!
- No, no, no!
Fuck!
Wait!
Usually there's someone
to receive us.
This is a personal visit.
- It's that way.
- Thank you.
Pirjo.
Show him the way.
Hello?
Hello?
- Hi.
- Yes?
Onerva Poikelus.
I've come to see her.
Just a moment.
A man
Is he the child of God?
Alma would like to see
your little sausages.
Alma will go outside now.
The others are there.
There's a man here.
She's a fascinating person
- The Doctor will be here in a minute.
- Sure, there's no hurry.
Was the sea rough?
Not at all. A surprisingly long trip.
That's what treatments here
are based on.
Far from everything and
plenty of peace and quiet.
The pressure of modern society
does not reach us here.
I'm sure this place
is soothing for the soul.
As I recall we haven't
agreed on any visits?
That's right, we haven't.
I just miss Onerva so much.
So I thought I must be allowed
to see my own wife, right?
Of course!
Onerva told me
you're involved in politics.
Yes, I'm a special assistant
at the party office.
- Mostly strategic affairs, you know.
- Yes, yes
It must take nerves of steel
and lots of patience.
Then you probably understand that
in politics, timing is critical
if you want to achieve
your goals.
- Yes, I do.
- Good.
Because the same kind
of applies to psychiatry.
- It does?
- Yes.
You probably remember
why we originally agreed
that it is best for Onerva
to check in here?
You double-talking bastard!
Yes
Onerva?
What
Hi.
- Whose brush is in our bathroom?
- What?
- Whose brush is in our bathroom?
- Excuse me.
You can't come to
my workplace like this
Why did you lie to me,
you pathetic piece of shit?
Be careful of this man!
He's probably lying to you all day!
Is it you? Are you the one
screwing my husband?
- Is it you? Come here and talk to me!
- That's enough.
Let go of me, you asshole!
What the hell?
We've succeeded in opening up
Onerva's mind.
And I must admit,
it hasn't been easy.
I can believe that.
But by timing various
stimulants wrong
we may ruin the work
we have painstakingly conducted.
It would be the utmost folly
to throw everything away
for something completely trivial.
Such as the fact that someone
happened to miss
the patient a little.
I'm not going anywhere before
I've had the chance to see Onerva.
- Well, why not
- Where is she?
Everyone, back into your rooms!
- We're shutting the doors now.
- I need the toilet.
Lundsten's orders.
Get in your room!
Open the door! You hear me?
Onerva Hi.
It's me. Tuomas.
How are you?
Tuomas.
Onerva, I've missed you so much.
- The curtains.
- What?
She may experience hallucinations.
- The curtains.
- Are there curtains over your eyes?
I saw the curtains.
I saw that we had curtains.
- He's following me.
- Who?
Kari.
Oh, Kari. You mean your brother?
What's happened to these?
Come here, honey.
I heard about the baby.
Our baby.
Your baby?
No, our baby.
It's wonderful news.
That's enough for today.
Excuse me, I'm
talking with my wife.
- Onerva, can you hear me?
- She's tired. We should stop now.
I'll stop once I've spoken with
my wife. Can you hear me, Onerva?
- Let's leave Onerva in peace.
- Let go of me. Can you hear me?
- Tuomas.
- What have you given to her?
I can assure you
that your wife is not
pregnant. This is
a hospital after all.
Yes, but why is she completely
unlike her normal self?
Like I've told you, delusional
mania is no playing matter.
- Have you examined her?
- The human mind is mysterious.
So you've done blood tests
and other medical exams?
Humans are simply not
straightforward creatures.
Alright. Next time, we'll book
an appointment in advance, okay?
So was she pregnant?
- It's none of your fucking business!
- Yes, it probably isn't.
Open the door!
I'm pissing my pants here!
Tuomas!
Stop!
God damn it, Tuomas!
You don't know everything!
They've done something to Onerva.
What?
- Who's that?
- A patient.
- A nutcase?
- A patient!
Take this!
Are you the one who called me?
The pregnancy was a lie!
You wouldn't have come otherwise!
Do you realise what
kind of games you're playing?
Oh god damn it!
Take this.
What's going on?
Alright, get in the boat.
Do you need a hand?
This lady was a university professor.
I'm not dealing with
crazy people's business.
How about your wife's?
This woman is in
the closed ward and a total loony.
Do you want the same
to happen to Onerva?
I don't understand how this person
has anything to do with us!
The only thing this woman's
done is criticise Lundsten!
Do you understand?
He must be stopped!
I think we're done here.
Thanks for the ride, sweetie!
You'd better change
into some dry clothes.
Ritva, I'm making table decorations
for the wedding.
Fold fold
Fold it.
Listen.
"During the war years an ammunition
storage was dug under the bunker."
Give me the book.
"EAGLEROCK SANATORIUM"
What is this?
"A passageway was excavated from
the cellar of the main building."
Onerva thought for a long time
she'd seen you at the bunker door.
But Onerva's now totally cuckoo.
She's completely messed up.
Fuck!
Hey, you.
Matilda, we've met.
Knowledge belongs to all.
Are you pretending?
Get lost.
I want to know if there's
something beneath the bunker.
- What do they do there?
- I know who you are.
Onerva Poikelus has been taken.
- And you care about her?
- Don't you?
Every time I went home,
I was really home.
- Really?
- I went to Stockmann's store too.
- I'm sure you did.
- I did. I brought Onerva a gift.
The method starts from hypnosis.
I haven't been hypnotised.
They tried it once. It didn't work.
It doesn't work on everyone.
That's why you were spared.
Why?
He's Beelzebub!
What has he done to you?
God damn it, Koivisto!
- What is this?
- It's dialogue.
Dialogue? No!
You're slandering
and sabotaging my work
systematically and on purpose!
Which part of this isn't true?
I'll be happy to correct it.
This is not about fixing
a few nuances.
You've systematically
disturbed my work for months
and now you're
slandering me publicly
You're way off base, Gösta.
I'm simply letting people know
your methods have been questioned
by the people you copied them from.
The MK-Ultra program has produced
remarkable results in the US.
They absolutely need to be refined
and applied in modern psychiatry.
That's your opinion.
Mine is different.
Then keep your opinion to yourself
and stop pushing it everywhere!
My work is none of
your god damn business!
Severing the corpus callosum.
My nerve tract has been cut.
It healed the epilepsy and
put an end to the seizures but
The delusions
and the lesbianism remained.
And the assholeness.
You probably recognise it.
The office hasn't been
used by the professor for ages.
Does Koivisto have any family?
Good evening, I'm Tuomas Poikelus.
My business concerns
Matilda Koivisto.
How is Matilda?
Actually, I've never met her.
I wanted to ask you about Eaglerock.
From what I understand
Matilda Koivisto might have been
a critic of the head doctor
at Eaglerock.
Your wife?
Is she ill?
No No, she isn't.
Or I don't know.
She's still in the early stages.
Spouses often have difficulties
accepting the disease.
I've been thinking
I wonder if she was any more
messed up than the rest of us.
It was a crazy time.
You hope until the end
that it's something else.
I heard that the head doctor
was guilty of some wrongdoing.
Which of course I don't believe,
but I just wanted to double-check.
I haven't heard anything of the sort.
And I don't believe
Matilda has, either.
Thank you anyway.
The only thing Matilda wanted
was for him to stop the hypnosis
and narcotics treatments.
- Don't even try!
- What?
No one's going to wonder
if you put me on sauna heating duty.
Maybe not,
but what would happen then?
You could come to the sauna
ahead of everyone else.
I don't know.
Oh?
Alright then.
Sera, I was thinking
maybe I could be your bridesmaid.
My sister's going
to be my bridesmaid.
Your sister?
Okay
How many guests
are coming to the wedding?
It depends on how many relatives
can make it. At least a hundred.
Gösta needs to find out if
Kalastajatorppa Hotel is available.
- What about Marjorie?
- She still hasn't moved out.
Right, that complicates things.
She's a sick person, she just draws
her pictures and manipulates people.
You don't mind Gösta
having two wives?
She's his ex-wife.
You can't just wait
for things to happen.
You have to make sure
things go your way.
What do you mean?
If you're worried
about Gösta's wife
how do you make sure
he will never miss her?
I'll kill her.
That's one way.
Or it could be something else.
Hint: what happens
on your wedding night?
You're not Lundsten's first,
so you need to know what to do.
You need to know
what to do with this!
- I don't know about that.
- Exactly.
- Oh my God.
- Precisely.
I know how you can manage this.
First you smile
Then you touch him like this
You unbuckle his belt and
- Take off his trousers.
- I don't know how to do that.
Of course not.
That's why you have to practice.
How?
Hi.
What do you think about this dress?
As a man.
- What are you doing?
- You're so strong, Kuikka.
Come.
Are you sure?
- I don't want you just for this
- What if I want it?
Have you even looked
at what's in there?
I took a quick look.
It's like from another dimension.
Some medical reports,
half of which have been redacted.
And the professor's own texts
which jump from the patriarchy to the
Freemasons in a single paragraph.
And she's a university professor.
She's in a mental institution now.
And for good reason, I'm sure.
"In the Bible, man made out Eve to
be a sinner, the cause of our fall."
"Now this idea is being applied to
turn us into obedient baby-makers."
Interesting.
This claims that
healthy but difficult
women are sent to Eaglerock
to be "reprogrammed".
That place was advertised
to me as a sanatorium.
Advertised?
That head doctor
came to the police station.
"When daily life weighs
on the modern woman
she escapes to the rugged
landscape of Eaglerock."
Could that crazy professor's writings
have any truth to them?
Tuomas.
The simplest answer
is usually the right one.
Is it more likely that society sends
healthy women to a mental hospital
or that the author of this is crazy?
What bothers me is that
Onerva wasn't even angry at me.
She was just different.
Maybe that's the idea?
It means the treatment's working.
What are these films?
Thank you, Karoliina.
I would be lost without you.
You're always so sensible.
And what else?
And intelligent.
That's technically the same thing.
Thanks for the advice.
Now I'm ready to proceed.
God damn it, no!
Fire!
Poikelus, we've got to go!
Onerva, there's a fire alarm.
Helena! Help me!
I took care of it.
Help!
Onerva!
Onerva!
Are you okay?
- What have they done to you?
- Move over.
Onerva, it's us.
I need to be at the party office
in a short while.
- Couldn't you tell me on the phone?
- You have to see this.
Where was this shot?
The reel had only "1964" and
"MK Ultra Studies" written on it.
Look familiar?
- Is that Lundsten?
- Yes.
And that's Doctor Kraft, whose
work Matilda Koivisto criticised.
Lundsten was his student.
He favoured humane treatment,
modern psychotherapy and hypnosis.
- That sounds pretty good.
- Hold your horses.
This is one of his students.
What are you trying to tell me?
Using hypnosis,
Kraft got this man to believe
he had run over
a little girl while drunk.
- Had he?
- Of course not.
The problems began when
healthy people started to crack.
I mentioned
these to my colleagues.
- I showed them to my boss
- Karoliina, we talked about this.
Just stay out of this, ok?
Well?
No one?
A bonfire in the middle of the floor.
Aren't you ashamed?
Do I need to punish all of you?
The art therapy classroom
is completely destroyed.
And Marjorie's work
over many years ruined.
Fine.
Hands.
Let's start with Alma.
It was me.
You? You wanted
to destroy Marjorie's art?
No, I wanted to kill her.
Shut up.
I couldn't wait for her
to come to her senses.
Serafina will go to isolation now.
Erkki!
It was me.
I was pissed off. Sorry.
But I didn't try to kill anyone.
I will make sure
there are consequences.
For fuck's sake,
I understand you all feel like crap.
You are sick.
You can't kill me.
I'm already dead.
This was all I had.
I talked to Karkinen's
special assistant.
They're going to open
an investigation
to find out if Lundsten's
brainwashing his patients.
So she isn't crazy?
Why do you use that word?
If you tell me you sent
your wife to a mental institution
I can assume she's crazy.
I never said she was "crazy".
Well, what then?
No one can handle her outbursts
and the constant fighting.
I told you that she came raging
at my workplace and all.
- What did you fight about?
- She thought I was cheating on her.
You are cheating on her.
What is this?
- Don't you start about this
- Or else what?
You'll send me there, too?
You're nothing like
Onerva, so please stop.
What if I am?
What if we have a problem
you don't want to deal with?
Honey, I would never do that to you.
Do you understand?
But you did it to Onerva.
Yes, I did.
Do you think I'm a monster who would
send his wife to an institution?
Am I like that?
Am I like that?
Like you said, the ministry's
going to investigate.
I really thought
we could get a break.
Do you realise how unwell she was?
The ministry It'll take ages.
How could I be so stupid?
How could I leave her there?
Hi.
You're angry and bitter at me.
Why do you say that?
Why else would we be here?
Why else would you
be standing in my way?
How come?
You're annoyed by my background.
You feel I'm privileged.
Why?
You put me up to this.
Like you did with your brother Kari.
That's the reason.
Do you want to see
someone falling again?
I don't think so.
Do I?
We already know
that you pushed me.
But it's important to know
why you did it.
I don't know. I'm so sorry.
I'm sorry, I'm sorry
Vera holds Onerva's shoulders.
No.
No.
Let go of me.
Let go of me.
- Calm down.
- Let go.
Calm down, Onerva.
Let go of me!
- And Onerva pushes.
- Calm down.
- You got angry.
- I got angry.
And you pushed.
I pushed her.
I did it.
Yes, you did.
I killed her.
Now you have to bear
the responsibility for it.
I killed her because
I wanted to kill.
I killed her because
I wanted to kill!
I wanted to kill!
