[bunniefuu]

Before us there is still one
drunken driving case.

Why were we asked to come
here so early to wait?

First you are forced to attest.
Then you have to wait for hours.

I'd have other things to do.

They cannot estimate how long
the cases take time. -You think so!

I think they would, if they wanted.

Why are they even bringing
drunken drivers here?

Licence should simply be taken
away forever and go to jail.

Everyone has right to defend oneself.
-What is there to defend here?

If you drink and drive once,
you may do so another time.

There has to be hard punishments.

People's lives are in danger.

Here in Kajaani the fines
are harder than elsewhere.

Next: Prosecutor against
Metsola, Erkki Lasse Olavi.

Was that him...?

Erkki Metsola from Lepp?vaara farm
from Hoikka municipality? -Yes, I am.

What is your profession? -Unemployed.
-It is not a profession.

Well, a farmer.

Gross earnings?

Unemployment benefit...
67 marks per day.

You are being prosecuted for reason that on
27.6.1987 you drove a motor vehicle -

under influence of alcohol.

Immediately after being stopped -

the alcohol concentration in your blood
was 1,4 promilles. Do you agree?

So I was told.

Do you admit being guilty for
driving a motor vehicle -

under influence of alcohol?
-I admit.

You can leave to wait for judgement.

This is a clear case.

Metsola admits his guilt and
alcohol concentration is confirmed.

There are no previous judgements.

Does someone in the jury know Metsola?
-I think we all know him.

He used to ski in Finland's
olympics team too.

I'm not familiar with athletes.

Why did this happen? -Metsola isn't the
first athlete to start drinking.

And not the last.
-Is he an alcoholic?

He didn't appear drunk this time.
He seemed distinguished.

I heard he has been training soused.

That's probably why he got
kicked out from youth training job.

He has been receiving unemployment
benefit regularly.

There are no jobs in Hoikka,
even you were up to it.

Unemployment drives many to drink.

As it is his first time let's
give him very mild sentence.

Erkki Metsola has been
many youngster's idol.

Now we have an opportunity to
show to youth, what will happen -

if you start tilting the glass.

Alcohol is one of the greatest problems.

It's our responsibility to fight against.

Erkki Metsola must go to prison.

Well? -Well...

That's how you say to lazy bulls.
Beautiful day. -It sure is.

You went to court? -I did.

Should dig few drainage pipes down there.

It's dry up here,
but down there is wet.

In the spring it's no place to go.
-I see...

Well, should get the excavator
before the rain.

I wonder if Jussi had time now?

I can go to town and ask.
Nobody else has an excavator.

Could pull out some rocks from
the field as well.

Annikki asked to go and eat.
I can continue then.

Well... How did it go?
At the court?

I got fines.
-And lost the license?

For how long?
-I'll get it back in few weeks.

It has been drying up for
few months already.

There has not been criminals
in this house before!

Pardon?

With what cash you are going to pay?

You are going to jail,
if you won't pay.

Social security office
is not going to help.

Erkki! I will pay the fines.
You don't need to ask from Antti.

So I don't tell about it to mom.

-Huhuu! Anybody home?
-Yes.

What end of the world it is now?
-Well Lasse, tell it.

I will go with the UN troops
to Libanon or perhaps Namibia.

Mit??

And that's not all.

I will work for the UN for awhile,
so I would earn some cash and experience.

Then I will continue to Military Academy.
-An officer and gentleman!

You cannot go, you should start studying.
-Lasse is not going to TKK.

What the hell?

My little son,
whom I have dragged -

at peace demonstrations
and marches...

becomes a professional soldier!

March rhythms went into bloodstream.
RISTO: Liisa!

If I could choose an engineer or
an army officer career...

-I choose an officer.

It is good training. Basically free,
get salary... -I don't get it.

It is against everything, what we
have always spoken, you included.

-Perhaps I have just repeated your sentences.

Now I think that only army can
guarantee the peace. -An army!

A peace with arms! It's waste,
that you go and get yourself k*lled!

Yes, think about it:
you can also end up hostage.

Cool magazine article: Sister saved
UN-soldier from muslim's hiding place.

-Liisa, not now.

You should reconsider. -I am sorry,
but I have made my decision.

I was hoping that you would respect it.

I cannot respect neither approve.

I can only despise.
-I don't need to listen to this!

Think what you like!

Moi, are you awake? -Where have you been?
-With my friends.

(Risto and Raija are arguing.)

Has that been going on for long?
-Yes...

It would be great if
women could go to army.

Women don't belong to army.

I am truly disappointed in you.
Chauvinist-militarist!

You can come to RUK-graduation party.
Stigu asked me to invite you. -Awesome!

Is he staying in the army?
-No. He will leave, as soon as he can.

They have farm near Turku.
-He becomes a farmer? -I guess so.

He is almost graduated forest caretaker.
-Voi voi!

You would make a great young lady
of the house. -Imagine me milking!

You know anything about Jussi
and excavator?

Jussi has got a contract with TVH
until the road is completed.

There would be plenty of dithcing
at Lepp?vaara.

Kaukovaara got ditching too -

and I should get new basis digged as well
for the new storage building.

Does anybody else have machine?
-Not anywhere near.

I have an idea: let's rent our own
machine. What do you think?

From Puolanka or Ristij?rvi.

Are you interested?

That could be an option.
-Look who's coming.

Good day, Metsola.
-Good day, lecturer.

You got a big load of toxics.

Isn't it about time to
switch to organic farming.

What does the lecturer mean exactly?

I am sure Metsola understands.
Don't play a fool.

Listen now.

We are just trying to grow
enough hay for our 12 cows -

so that we would get highest possible
amount of milk out of them.

Milk account is pretty much only source of
income around here, as you know.

Fertilizers don't pollut that much.

You spoil not only the soil but
also the aquatic life.

Toxics get transferred from the hay
to milk and then to consumers.

Think about the child,
who drinks the poison milk.

How can you sleep peacefully,
when you spread toxics so much?

Thanks for asking.
I am sleeping very well.

Beer? -No, cup of coffee.

This is totally cold.
-You should get drunk first.

Give me telephone.

Stop already, it's enough for me.

Come have coffee. -In a minute.

The wood you have chopped are enough
until the end. -What does mom mean?

Isn't it time for eviction, as the
highway will be constructed over?

It's not certain yet.
Antti will make a complaint.

Antti is good landlord, but even he
cannot win against "Helsinki-lords".

Eviction is inevitable.
-Mom will move to live with us.

I was going through all stuff.

It's weird, how much
a person collects -

all kinds of old stuff during
the life, all in vain.

So many boxes of old letters even.

Only makes me feel bad,
when read then.

Old sorrows come awake...

I read your dad's and brother's letters.

The ones sent from combat zone.

It is good that this sort of old papaer
burns very well. -Mom, no!

It's not okay to burn them!
They are valuable!

What do memories cost?

I read your letters too, from times
you were maid at the military hospital.

It's not okay to get rid of them.

Dad's and Risto-Matti's letters are
valuable to me and children.

And for historians.

They give an impression of life back then.
-They are my letters!

They don't belong to any outsider.

They portray my life,
and that time has gone.

Now we are living in new age.

New roads are being built and
everything old is taken away.

I would like to go and see
the home for the elderly -

if it's going to be necessary
to move there.

Of course we can go.

Hei. Your first time here? -Joo
-Do you want guidance?

Kiitos, I'm just looking...
-Moi! So you dared to come.

There is one good tightarse
for you. -Really. Where?

Shall I change my clothes?
-Be quick!

Go on, go on! Fats will burn.
-I hope so.

I go see my friends there.

Help!

Horrid! Thanks. -I was already
thinking, that's a strong girl.

I didn't realize it weighs so much.
-I think you should start with fives.

I thought this is for male only.
-Go ahead, please. -No way.

I will still go to solarium.
-Be careful. -Bullshit, I want to get tan.

I'll wait in the cafe.

Now it's 5 kg.
Try it.

Are you sure?
-It'll be fine.

Good day. How can I help you?

What do these things cost?

195 and 125.

Why is this cheaper?

It's three years older
and has been in use more.

Of course.
What sort of payment options?

Cash, instalment or leasing.

How about guarantees?

Neighbor farmer's name in the bill
for example.

If I bought this, which is better,
instalment or leasing?

There are many options, but
interests are really high today.

Leasing is possible, but the machine
is not yours until it's fully paid.

So in practise you are like renting it.

How much that Hitachi costs?
-It's a demonstration unit.

It's almost new, 650.
-Uh uh.

Need to consider.

These don't run out, consider in peace.

Hei! How much these machines cost?

I have no idea.

This is bankrupt's estate.
I'm just fixing these things.

Then the machine can be cheap or expensive.
-Yes it can.

What options for paying?
-Cash only.

Call for attorney Lempinen in Kajaani,
if you are interested.

He knows much more.

But these are not cheap,
bank takes their share.

Yeah, can't help it.

Hei, if you are interested still,
this is really good.

I fixed it myself.
I used to drive it for 3 years.

Reconditioned? -Completely.

With Scotch tape.

This is good game.

I wonder how much this costs in retail?

Not more than 70.
This is good game, I know.

Look at you! You have become a stall-holder.
-No, this is for charity.

We collect water pumps to Africa.

But a stall-holder anyway.
-And you have become Alko's mannequin.

Hei! Nice to see you. I was wondering, why
miss parliament member hasn't been around yet.

How has it gone? -Well.

Is the candle holder I gave sold already?

It was sold instantly, it was so pretty.
-I have to go now.

Shall I say hi at home from big sister?

Moi.

This was your brother?

Good day. Is bank manager
J?rvenheimo available?

He is, but right now he is having phone call.

Can you wait?
-Certainly, in this company...

I could count my life
on miss's strong arms.

Where have you got such pretty tan?

From south. -Is there solarium in Iisalmi
nowadays? So the world changes.

No, I mean... Bank manager is free now.
Whom shall I announce?

Tell him, that his brother-in-law
Erkki Metsola is here.

Erkki Metsola?

Erkki Metsola is here. Kiitos.

You can go. -Hei hei!

I have been thinking, that being
unemployed is not natural state.

Should do something.
I was thinking to buy an excavator.

Would be work for it. But need money for it.
That's what I came here for.

Damn good idea. Really is.

But you came to ask for loan at tough time.

Banks are having hard times,
consumer credits aren't granted.

Excavator is not consumer credit.
-Of course not, but...

At the moment bank grants loans
only for customers, who...

Already have existing customer relationship.

Cannot have, if it's not started first.

Now there is a good opportunity.

But taking a loan is not
an usual way to begin.

Loans are granted for persons,
who have some savings.

I wouldn't be asking loan,
if I had savings.

I haven't got salary
in the recent years...

Of course you can apply.

It will be handled normally -

and you will get an answer within week.

Joo... I see?

Why then bank advertises, that
just come in and loan will be given?

"For every problem there is solution!"

But now that need help,
terms have become hard.

Why I am an exception?

I don't know what to say...

I hope that you understand that
I have supervisors too. -Certainly.

My actions are being observed just like others'.

When bank grants a loan, it has to
have guarantees and confidence -

that it is going to get its money back.

Bank does not grant loans to persons,
who have "personal problems".

Bank does not trust, that it would
get its money back.

So you don't believe or grant.

Don't mix up bank in this.

Jaakko, in your opinion I am
an alcoholic and stay as such.

Keep your kiosk!

Listen, Erkki... -Bye!

Hei, Tanja. Is Tapsa here?
-Over there.

Well hi. What dude?
-What here. I was looking for skis.

Are these this year's models?
-Certainly.

Are going to do comeback?
-Well, no...

I was thinking I need to take exercise.

Here we got skis for skating and
traditional style. These fit for both.

Before there was only traditional style.

Signal race at Holmenhollen was
rather tough? -Sports is like that.

Have to learn to cope with all the jolts.

So said my old coach.

If you cannot succeed in race with the
big boys it's better to quit. -I guess it's so.

With those you could try skating.

Are these valuable?
-Everything is relative.

Do you have any special deals?
-Just conveniently -

I could sell you demonstration pair
including bandages at comradeship price.

Where are those?
-There. Let's go and see.

Attention! Fire!

Jaakko, shouldn't you go to shower already?
I am ready soon.

I will go right now.

Jaakko?

Don't swing in front of TV!

Jaana! Please! Let it be!

Hei, for real! Dress up!

Ok, I will go to shower!

Jaana, speed up! We will be late.
-In a moment.

You are responsible for selling
dinner cards, you can't be late.

Ready!
Is the dress pretty enough?

I think it is excessive.

Or actually undersized from the top.

I saw Erkki in the marketplace. -I know.

How can you know it? -Erkki came to
bank and asked for loan.

Where he needs money for? Booze?
-No. He is planning to buy an excavator.

What's he up to? -I don't know.

Does dad know?
Should probably call and tell.

Don't do it. It's bank secret.

And Erkki doesn't have to know,
that you you either.

Are you ready?
Always you need to be awaited.

You are beautiful.

You should sell lots for a change.
-There is time.

Let's go to dance.
-I don't care to. You go.

Thank you, with pleasure.

Recall the lots! -I do, I do.

Unbelievable,
that he wants to be pro-soldier.

Big decision, but if Lasse wants to,
then... -True.

Parents can't decide for everything.

I am still little bit bitter for dad -

when he didn't let me in art school.

Art school and army!
Think now!

Besides it's an offence.

Lasse does exact opposite,
that has been agreed and raised.

You also joined SKP and broke affairs
with your parents for years.

That's different thing.

I don't want that Lasse goes through the same.
-Not me either.

-Bringing up children is tough job.
-Suffering and anxiety.

I won't get kids until I have a job, own house
and enough money to take care of Mr. "Turhapuro".

Shouldn't be shortage of candidates.
-That's why he has to be "form-champion".

-Schwarzenegger?
-More in the brains.

Good principle.
-Around 30's could settle somewhere.

When are you going to take over
at Hoikka Health center?

I am not sure if I go at all.

Economically it would a good deal -

but right now I got the hardest exams.
Should concentrate to study.

And it is so damn far.
-Oh, little sister.

At least you could choose what to study.

I couldn't. Arts is history.

Does someone still want something?
-I'm fine thanks. Was very good.

Let's drink coffee at the other side.
-I don't drink. -Yes you do!

Thank you. It's not every day
I get goodies like these.

Do you want cognac?
-Yes, I could take.

Is this also one of your paintings?
-Yes. -It is actually great.

I believed, I would become
Finland's Rubens -

but all I end up being was just
an assistant manager.

-Well, you are lacking artists' humbleness.
You love business life.

68... To think of it, that you
painted so well already back then.

I got into to decoration school in Helsinki.
In the evenings I went to independent art school.

That's where I did that painting.

Then I met Raija and everything was left behind.

Don't blame me.

You had already stopped studying.
You were bought into business.

In those days I waved a red flag and
wanted revolution.

Our views were totally contradictory.

But we were just awfully in love.

It's great that you have job where
you can be public with your thoughts.

Journalists can make an influence.
-It is actually quite hopeless.

Have you heard anything of Heikki?
-Hear less and less nowadays.

He is living his own life in V?ster?s.

Have you thought that I don't drink
cognac? -Indeed you don't drink cognac.

Today I will.

That painting is good for real.
Have you thought to sell your works?

Don't laught! For real. -Who would
buy my paintings? -Me for example.

Zebra crossing collection!

Come on now. After Risto is dead,
I will do millions with his paintings.

Oh sweetheart, when you will get married,
I can give away you that painting.

For the arts!

Don't bother, there are others too.

Good morning. -Good morning.

How come Erkki is up so early?
-I have some business.

Let's go in. What's on your mind?
-Some loan things...
