Part 12: A GLASS OF SHAMPAGNE
In autumn of 1988

I really don’t understand what use a hill
like that could have, especially for people.

Nothing at all.

It’s only lazy people
who slide down hills.

It’s the kind of
thing for brainless yuppies.

What are you mumbling about over there?

I’m just saying that I
don’t really get it.

This ski slope construction of yours.

What good is it to anyone?

Even Tahko once said it
would ruin this country.

You ride up with machines
and slide down with gravity.

Whose fitness improves with that?

You’re funny sometimes, Dad.

Me?

Funny?

Yeah.

You know just as well as I do.

When people have more free time, tourism
becomes one of the biggest industries around.

And for anyone who still wants to work,
there’s plenty of jobs here to go around.

If that means a bunch of Germans and other
odd folks running around underfoot, then no thanks.

They’ll just mess up and break
everything, stealing whatever they can.

When I was your age, we were at the border holding
them off when they tried to force their way in.

Don’t be childish.

It will improve all
of our living conditions.

Mom’s, yours, and mine.

The whole village will start to thrive.

What’s the point of working yourself to death with those
animals only to end up collapsed behind the sauna?

Are you seriously claiming that the whole
village will improve because of this hill?

It’ll ruin all the peace we have.

And the forests will be destroyed
so they’ll never be the same.

Do you know what it’s like to be unemployed for
months, running to social services and the unemployment office?

That’s no way to live.

It soon ends up like old Eino Vanhanen — one morning he
went to the forest and shot himself in a spruce tree.

Yeah.

Of course, people need jobs.

And here’s work to be had.

There are plenty of hills in Finland.

If one of them has to be sacrificed,
I don’t see anything wrong with that.

And if some office worker from Helsinki wants to ski down the
hill and even pay for it, I have no problem with that.

Then just money away from them.

And hey, it’s good they get fresh air,
when they’re even skiing with their mouths open.

Hi, Eeva.

Hi.

So, did the summer books
dry out on the shelf?

No, I’m getting new ones.

I’ve got a final exam
in a couple of weeks.

I would need to read
a modest 2,000 pages.

Oh, I thought you were done already.

Nope, I’ve got a couple
of courses still hanging.

I’ll need to try to
finish them over the winter.

Have you been working?

That’s exactly why everything got stuck.

You’ve got to make a living somehow.

I’m working here at the hospital now.

Oh, but maybe we could meet up sometime.

Yeah, she’s upstairs.

Upstairs?

Yeah.

Thanks.

Stigu!

Hi!

What are you doing here?

I came to see you.

No way.

Did you really drive all
this way just for that?

Of course.

You still don’t believe it.

I love you.

But I really don’t have time
to entertain you right now.

If you’re hanging around here all
the time, I’ll never become anything.

Oh, you have enough time for that.

At least tonight and this night.

I promise I’ll leave first
thing in the morning.

No deal.

At least let me drive you home.

Say yes.

Okay.

But you’re not coming inside.

Metsola, here’s the tractor
crane joint Erkki ordered.

It should be the right one, but if
it isn’t, you can of course exchange it.

Yeah, this is the right one.

I’ll put it on the account.

Add it to the books.

Hello.

Hello.

How’s it going?

Not bad.

Something wrong with the tractor?

There’s always something.

Erkki’s got huge plans.

That's right.

We just talked earlier, that it
swallows crazy amounts of money.

And how much of our tax
money is going into that?

That I don’t know.

You’d have to ask Erkki about that.

Or better yet, the municipality.

But at least it’ll create jobs for
the town, isn’t that a good thing?

Yeah, of course, of course, but it’s also that we'd need to build
rental housing in the village and all those other drains of taxpayer money.

If all the tax money goes into some unrealistic private company... - So
far, neither your tax money nor mine has gone into anything.

And if any money is spent,
it’ll be Erkki’s, mine, and Annikki’s...

And Ministry of Trade and
Industry's, and whoever else’s funds.

So don’t worry about it.

Hello.

Hello.

Heading to Leppävaara, are you?

Yeah.

We were in Kajaani at the trial.

Got sentenced for resisting the police
and breaking the rules of order.

Well, at least you’re still free.

Probation?

No, just fines.

I got a bit more, and Liisa a bit less.

A couple hundred.

Hey could we put out
stuff into your car?

I invited Osmo to us.
He can come, right?

I don't really know.

Is it worth getting involved
with such dangerous criminals?

Well, anyway, let’s go from
this road to the house.

I’ll have a Tikkakoski (a type of g*n) and a
phone there, so don’t start giving me any trouble.

Hey!

Do you know what the hardest
thing in a trial is?

If you lie, you’ll go to hell.

And if you tell the
truth, you’ll get a fine.

It seems you were telling
the truth about that too.

Now go and say hello to Annikki.

And you call home and let them know
where you are and about the sentence.

Yeah, yeah.

Off you go, off you go.

Where have you been?

I thought you were making coffee for me.

I was out in the
woods looking for mushrooms.

Looking? What’s there to look for?

To see if there are any.

Oh, you're angry of some nonsense again.

I’m not.

No, of course not.

Just casually, then.

So, did anything happen in the village?

Oh, just the usual gossip
from the horsemen's news agency.

Like what?

Oh, about that hill.

Feels like we're destroying
the whole municipality.

What?

What do you mean?

Well, Romppainen and the shopkeeper said all of
this is being done with taxpayer money.

And the shopkeeper also said that there
are other hills in this municipality too.

And that other entrepreneurs should also be given
a chance to participate in this project.

And that no private individual should
get rich on public funds.

- No way they said that?
They did.

You should’ve told that shopkeeper that he ought to open his
own shop if there are so few shopkeepers in the municipality.

Well, the upside of jealousy is
that the fish counter stays full.

But listen, now the house is full of
criminals, and they probably want coffee too.

So, isn’t it time to go and make some?

And there comes one more.

Yeah, yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah, but I just want to
stay here for a little while.

Liisa, hey, listen now.

Liisa!

If you spend all summers chained to Erkki’s
digger, then... Come on, wake up, wake up.

The point is, you don’t study.

And without studying, you
won’t get a profession.

Well, someone has to be here too.

Erkki doesn’t have time for anything, and
I’m needed because of that too.

I have a horse and everything.

If I’m not here, grandpa
won’t manage with it.

But dad, I don’t even know
where I want to apply.

I’m not going to apply for something
just for the sake of applying.

It doesn't make any sense.

Hi, Liisa.

Hi.

Talking to your dad?

Yeah.

Tell him the car money has been sent.

And regards.

The car money has been sent.

Regards from Erkki.

Yeah, also send regards to mom.

Yeah, yeah.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Alright.

Bye, bye.

Those are some impressive
prizes your Erkki has.

Yes, they are.

But why is that liquor bottle there?

I suppose it’s some kind of trophy too.

That back of mine...

It just hurts every now and then.

Can I help somehow?

Well, you could start by feeding
the animals with some hay.

Alright.

But where can I find a shovel?

Take that one.

By the way, its name is a pitchfork.

Roosa has mastitis again.

We’ll need to call Meriläinen.

If he’s even on duty now.

Might be best to get
the vet from Puolanka.

They’ve got their own vet there.

We’ve only got our own weirdo.

Go on, make the call.

Has my horse been causing trouble?

No, not at all.

Antti takes care of it.

He likes it.

I just thought it might
be too much for Grandpa.

That much is almost nothing.

Antti thinks he should have
some meaningful work to do.

I knew, I shouldn't have
let you come here.

Have I done something bad?
- No, you haven't!

Hell, if you keep hanging around here
all the time, I’ll never become anything.

Do you want me to be
stuck here next year too?

I don’t want that.

I don’t want a doctor.

I want you.

Do you want me to become
some housewife or your muse?

I don’t want that.

I want to become something myself.

Sorry.

Sorry.

I love you.

And I have to be near you.

That’s a whole different matter.

That’s what you need to understand.

Sorry?

Can’t we get engaged?

If we did, I’m pretty
sure I’d calm down.

No, I can’t.

You’ve got someone else?

No, I don’t.

Please try to understand.

I really want to graduate.

I... I’m supposed to
graduate in four months.

Let’s agree that until then,
you won’t come here.

We’ll see after that.

There are lots of empty
houses here in Hoikka.

I suppose so.

A monument to the
great Finnish upheaval.

GFMU.

Look over there.

People complain that you can only live
in cities in Finland these days.

What nonsense.

Of course you can’t if you expect houses
in Kainuu to look like Alpine chalets.

Or like that one over there.

A mausoleum of tastelessness.

MOT.

It’s got vaulted arches.

Inside, it’s all Dallas-style.

Leather sofas and glass tables.

Shelves full of knick-knacks
from Canary Islands trips.

People want what they see on TV.

And in general—

It’s pathetic and revolting.

Isn’t there more to life than that?

That guy probably drives a convertible in winter
with his stetson flapping in the wind.

What’ll be left when all Finnish farms
have been turned into Spanish-style haciendas?

The forests acidified, the fields
overrun with chemical fertilizers?

Then there’ll be nothing left.

Exactly.

Did you know that most illnesses people
suffer from come from what we eat?

We’re eating absolute rubbish.

The Finnish population has never been
as sick as it is today.

I guess the scientists
know what fertilizers do.

Fertilizers haven’t been around long enough in human
history for anyone to really know much.

It’s hard to even imagine how high
this bill will end up being.

Chemical farming is just a
chapter in agricultural history.

Traditional farming is the result of thousands
of years of trial and error.

In that, humans and
nature live in balance.

I need to head to Tampere.

To calm down mom and dad.

I should figure out some study place
so that they'd settle down a bit.

Then I’ll be off too.

I should head to Norway.

There’s this whale conservation
event happening there.

Oh, really?

Quess if about a million times
more, I’d rather go with you.

Bid competition concluded: The Finn Finland
campaign contract to Helsinki-based Messupojat.

How did it come to this?

We would've needed that job.

But Messupojat are going to
take a hit for that.

So, what do we do now that both
Mustanen and Nieminen want to quit too?

We’ll have to buy back their shares.

Yes, we will.

The good thing is we won’t
have to lay anyone off.

A machine like this is
a pleasure to dig with.

Yeah.

And in the end, the price wasn’t
as steep as we initially feared.

We’ll manage here for quite some time.

But I'm not going into your
wet forests with this, though.

Nor will need to for a while.

Now there’s this "Chain-Ronkainen" and the other
one—what’s his name again, your Liisa’s boyfriend?

Osmo Lampinen.

Yeah.

And they managed to get the Oulu
Provincial Government to temporarily protect it.

Oh, really?

You know, it probably would’ve been smarter
to just let that road bypass Kaukovaara.

Now you’ve essentially handed it to
them on a silver platter.

You instigated it.

Don't try to pick on me here.

The machine’s got work either way.

And it’s productive.

Yeah.

And it’ll bring in even more in the
future when I start developing that slope.

At cost price, as per the agreement.

Don’t start interpreting
the agreement now.

Of course it’s my land.

We’ll see.

Don’t count your chickens
before they hatch.

This slope development of yours isn’t
exactly set in stone yet.

You never know—someone might object
to cutting down trees there...

...for conservation reasons.

So, did you get hold of Eeva?

Yes, I did.

She said she’s looking
for work in Turku.

Why would she go there?

She should’ve just stayed here at home.

There are sick people
here too, after all.

Don’t bring that saw in here.

But Dad asked me to.

He said he'd sharpen it here.

Take it outside right now.

This is what equality looks like.

You command, and I obey.

Let's go to the barn.

The Helsinki professor
sent another letter.

Now he's refusing to pay for
the repair of the Kalajärvi road.

He is the one who use it constantly.

And it was his drilling
team that damaged it.

Exactly, I agree.

But they’re claiming the road didn’t need repairs at all
and that they’d be fine with a worse one.

So, “worse”?

What about us, then?

Well, in his opinion,
that’s not his concern.

He argues that it’s our responsibility to
maintain the road however we see fit.

Well, a person isn't too lacking in sense,
even though he's a master's degree holder.

Yeah. My father used to say that some people are punished
by God immediately, while others are made master's degree holders.

The bank has been flexible
enough on this case.

Yeah, it really is getting difficult.

The loan repayments are so frequent.

They are not loan repayments. They are
loan payments that are due on time.

They are part of the purchase amount.

You were the one who
negotiated this schedule and rhythm.

What should we do about this?

Cut the costs.

Increase the profit.

Then negotiate a more flexible
schedule with the vendor.

The remaining debt, it has
the bank guarantees in it.

Yeah, but if they refuse.

Then there aren't many options.

He’ll demand it from the bank, and
the bank will demand it from you.

But if that happens, the game’s over.

We can't continue these meetings,
my husband might find out.

Hello.

What’s up, shorty?

The truth is, I decided to come
see you while I'm here in Tampere.

Besides, how could I forget the most beautiful
municipal doctor we've ever had in Hoikka?

Did you actually have
something to discuss?

Yes, actually I do.

But we could discuss that...

Over dinner, for example, at
some nice dance restaurant.

Listen, thank you very much,
but I'm actually very busy.

The final exams are coming
up, and... - Yeah, I understand.

But right now, what I'm most interested in
is the future of Hoikka's healthcare center.

You're graduating soon.

And we still have
three permanent positions unfilled.

So maybe you could spare
some time for that discussion...

It's about your future too, after all.

Of course.

And we need to eat too.

Okay, let's agree that when I get out
of here, you'll stop by my place.

You’ll have some stew, and
you’ll have 60 minutes.

In that time, we'll eat, and
I'll discuss things with you.

Raija, hi.

Can I join you?

Sure.

Long time no see.

Yeah.

Long time no see.

Not much visiting, even though we
live in the same city.

I should probably send a
formal invitation to you too.

Doesn’t seem to help much.

Risto almost lives at his workplace.

Running your own company isn't easy.

Yeah, things are tough now,
and getting money is hard.

Especially since they lost
that big order.

The bank can't give more.

And I can't lend him more
of my own money either.

Has Risto?

I mean, I know about the loans, but...

Have you had to put your
own money at risk for it?

Yes.

I’ve lent it against a general pledge,
with your name on it too.

But that’s that.

What do you think about Erkki's project?

I’d be interested to
know who’s funding it.

It would be reasonable if municipal
infrastructure came from the municipality.

Of course, but it’s such a hot potato
now, it’s better not to even suggest it.

But we can’t leave it out.

Of course not, but Kari is so strongly opposed,
that he might be able to crush it.

Certainly.

He’ll file a complaint anyway, if nothing
else, just to be a nuisance.

But if we anyway succeed...

Kari will lose his face
and his political credibility.

Elections come regularly.

So, what about that thing
with the Development Area Fund?

The business investigator is coming here,
once they've gone through those calculations.

But the important part here is the
supporting sentence from the Tourism Promotion Center.

And that's what we have here.

And then there are the grants from
the Ministry of Trade and Industry.

And those should be OK too,
just like the Americans say.

Yes, Development Area Fund is
going to require guarantees.

How are we dealing with that?

Well, I’ll give the municipality a
mortgage on the Urja slopes.

And then the municipality should
provide guarantees for the loan.

That really needs to be pushed hard within
the council groups before it’s taken for discussion.

I think it would be wise to only
discuss the guarantees at the next meeting.

And later, when the situation has calmed down a
bit, we can bring up the municipal infrastructure.

That’s probably the best option.

By the way, don’t you really
know anything about Erkki's slope project?

If I remember correctly, you were always the
same talkative kid when you were little.

By the way, your move to Turku...

That doesn’t make any sense, considering there’s
work and housing available even in Hoikka.

Well, I haven’t decided anything yet.

Just thinking about it.

There’s a university there.

Maybe some day will get
inspired to continue there.

Specialize.

Besides, variety is what refreshes.

I hope you understand that your home municipality
can’t just give you away like that.

We want good-looking doctors
at Hoikka Healthcare Center.

Besides, Vähälä is about to retire soon.

When that happens... Well,
then anything is possible.

Oh, goodness...

And to top it off, we have
great-looking bachelors with land and forest.

Hey, Kari.

What are you...
- Eeva.

Crazy, stop it.

Stop it!

- Eeva.
What the hell?

Take it easy.

Stop it!

You crazy b*stard!

Damn, you fool!

Listen, you’ve already used up
more than an hour.

Get moving, quickly!

I don’t understand you.

You’re risking the whole
family for some company.

Mom doesn’t understand that this
is a damn good investment.

And it’s going to bring in a lot
of money in the future, including for you.

Hey, by the way, doesn’t anything
interest you other than money?

Don’t you care that Finnish fields are full of
artificial fertilizer, poisons, and who knows what else?

What are you rambling about?

Have you turned green?

Good heavens.

Is this Osmo?

Is he green?

Be as it may, but the fact is, our generation is
going to have to pay for all the mistakes you’ve made.

Who’s this Osmo?

Well, Osmo is that...
- Let Liisa answer.

What the hell is this conversation?

I’m an adult, I do what I want,
and I have opinions that suit me.

As long as you live under this
roof, you will answer to me respectfully.

Well, I’m leaving this place as soon
as I get a study place.

For sure.

What are you going
to start studying now?

Agriculture, biology, or ecology.

The young lady is
becoming quite a scientist.

Raija, don’t be rude.

Hello.

Hello.

Is the Bank Manager Järvenheimo here?

Yes.

Yes, he is.

Please.

Thank you.

Listen, Liisa.

Buying your own home nowadays is so expensive
that it won’t work with these savings.

But student loan. That you'll get right
after you've registered into some educational institution.

Hey Jaakko, what if dad would
come to quarantee the mortgage?

Yeah...

That would of course be one possibility.

Yeah.

But your father’s financial situation is so bad right now that
he is, as we say in banking language, not creditworthy.

Oh, I see.

Come in.

Hi.

Hi.

And did you send the
application papers to Helsinki?

No.

Why not?

I don’t really know what
to do right now.

I can't leave Risto now, not when
things are in such a mess.

Everyone who isn’t a partner in
this company is being laid off.

But how are we going to
manage with such a small team?

We’ll have to.

Cut costs, that’s the bank's order.

There are no other options.

So, the smaller the revenue,
the smaller the profit.

Thanks.

I’ve had enough.

Actually, I’m inviting you to eat here so
we can talk about Erkki's project a bit.

Well, yeah, I don’t mind.

We need to talk, of course.

You’ve probably noticed that I’m
not really fond of it.

Not because it’s bad.

But I think it’s in the wrong place.

What do you mean, in the wrong place?

If we look at the map, the slope would
naturally fit much better on the other side.

There’s also the fact that the side
where it’s being built faces Oulu street.

So, the side towards the woods
would remain in its natural state.

And the slope would be
on the other side entirely.

Right, right.

Yes, of course, but you're a
bit late with this matter.

Everything can still be changed,
no decisions have been made.

None have been made, but it would be wrong to do
that to Erkki, as he’s the father of the whole idea.

This project is so important for this municipality that
I don’t think one person should dominate it.

If it’s moved to the other side of the
hills, then it would be on your land.

Then you would dominate.

There’s no real difference in principle.

Well, I think there is.

I would make it a limited company and be
ready to sell B shares to the residents.

Yeah, yeah.

You’d be ready for that?

Of course.

And one thing I want to say
upfront, so it’s not a surprise.

When this matter is discussed in the municipal council groups, if there is a
proposal for a municipal guarantee for the projects, I will strongly oppose it.

Hi,
- Hello, hello.

Do you have a
committee meeting or something?

Yes, the technical committee
is meeting today.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

You both are in it, right?

Both of us.

Actually, it’s good we
ran into each other.

I would’ve liked to exchange a few words beforehand
about the municipal technical side of the hill project.

I’ve been wondering why it
hasn’t been seen yet.

Well, it’s not up yet, the
committee is still reviewing it.

I think it should be properly prepared,
with precise financial calculations, before it’s presented.

If no one else picks it up, Kari will.

Kari goes from house to
house criticizing the project.

Oh, I hope he doesn’t critisize
himself out of the council.

Does that matter?

Well, not personally, of course, but about the municipal technology,
I think it’s possible to get significant state funding.

Then it must be prepared quietly,
otherwise, the whole project could fail.

We need to remember that.

I believe, that Kari can put
down the whole project, though.

He's that kind of big guy.

I'm so enjoying this Tampere.

This is something totally different.

Everyone is dressed so well,
and something always happens.

It was so boring in Sotkamo.

Yeah, it's a long way from Sotkamo.

But at least there were the Vuokatti
slopes and hills really close by.

You must have been regular customers.

That’s true.

Jaakko and I went almost every weekend.

Whenever we had time, we’d go skiing.

I see.

But listen, my brother now has a earth-moving business and he’s
decided to set up a new ski resort in Kainuu.

Really?

Where there?

It’s very close to Vuokatti and Paljakka.

In the municipality of Hoikka.

I see.

You’re welcome to come skiing there.

When it will be ready.

Thanks, thanks.

We usually go to Austria, but this
winter we’re going to the French Alps.

But yeah, it could be
nice to visit there someday.

What was it?

Now, I need to get
my ski equipment ready.

And we’re heading to Austria.

I need to learn slalom
before Erkki opens that hill.

Austria?

Well, there’s no snow there yet.

You should have started when
we lived in Sotkamo.

Hi.

Take the other machine and
start leveling the edges here.

You go with me, I have one task for you.

Alright.

It’s looking pretty nice.

When you take this little bump
off, it should be enough.

No need to go any further.

So like that.

Got it.

Hey, our party has
that group meeting today.

We’ll discuss this hill matter
in a positive spirit.

That’s nice.

So that you know.

We’re on your side.

Well, good luck.

Yeah, try your best too.

Yeah.

And if it looks like our plan won’t go
through, we can always bring it up again.

That would add a lot of delay to Erkki’s project
and give us more time to mess things up.

Yeah.

Right.

Well, anything is allowed in principle.

In politics, w*r, and love.

Yeah.

Yeah, yeah, no, no.

Erkki is a complete alcoholic.

Hmm.

Yeah, drank for years.

Yeah, and on social assistance.

Yeah, and of course unemployed.

A drunk, that’s what he is.

Tell them, a drunk is a drunk.

Yeah.

Well, good. Call me after the meeting
so I know what people say.

Okay, bye.

So, you really are that big
of a piece of sh*t.

Dad would never have accepted
that kind of backstabbing.

You know very well that Erkki has
been sober for a long time.

He hasn’t touched alcohol in ages.

I haven’t heard anything
about Erkki quitting drinking.

How dare you.

You chase after her sister
like a horny tomcat.

Listen, Eeva and Erkki are so close.

What do you think Eeva will
think when she hears about this?

Where would she even hear about it?

And on top of that, Erkki totally pulled a
fast one on me during that excavator incident.

And he’s the one who organized
those activists in the forest.

Your way of thinking is
on a child’s level.

Except that a child would
never be that mean.

Mom used to say that men never grow
up, but you didn't even become a human.

Tell me what I should do, since I
have nothing to do here in Tampere.

Should I go to Leppävaara?

Grandma said that you and
Grandpa get along well.

Yeah.

I probably wouldn’t have bought a horse either
if... he hadn’t pushed me to do it.

Grandpa bought the horse just as
much for himself as for you.

Yeah.

Osmo is not here either.

He’s somewhere protecting whales.

Where?

In Norway.

What?

So, where are all your school friends?

I don’t know.

Here and there.

Now let's finish this up
and then go to eat.

Yeah.

What do you want to eat?

Hamburgers.

Got it.

Let's quickly wrap this up and let’s go.

Yeah.

You really should get a new suit, because this
one is starting to get a bit tight.

I’m a growing pensioner.

Yeah, but mostly width-wise.

Listen, kid, just sneeze your nose, and wasg teeth and
hands, before we head to the village.

Now mom gets to go
with two handsome boys.

Yeah, if only the most handsome boy could keep his mouth shut
when things get tough, so we wouldn't have to be ashamed.

I wonder how it will go there?

Well, if you manage, great.

If you don’t manage, that’s fine too.

Then everything stays as it is.

Do you think so?

I’m sure that if it’s not me,
someone else will build it anyway.

And then it’ll go to Kaukovaara’s lands.

To the other side of the hills.

It’s possible that he’s that clever.

That he could make a quick move.

Just like we did to
the Russian brothers once.

He knows how to do it.

Now it’s getting rush.

Mom!

Takala?

No.

Tuutti?

Yes.

Kaukovaara?

No.

The vote has been conducted and
the votes have been counted.

The majority vote was 18
in favor, 3 against.

This means that the proposal from the municipal board for a 1.5 million
Mark guarantee for loans from the Development Area Fund has been approved.

Silence.

Such demonstrations are not appropriate
in the council chamber.

I would like to announce that I, the undersigned, express a differing opinion because I do not
consider this decision to be in accordance with municipal law or within the scope of municipal self-government.

At the same time, I will notify that
I am appealing to the Oulu Provincial Government.

The meeting has ended.

I will be submitting a complaint to the
Ministry of the Environment regarding this matter.

Ronkainen, stop by for evening coffee.

This turned out quite well.

Well, let's follow up in Oulu then.

It will be fine.

We've been fighting for these...

...all the way to the Supreme
Administrative Court and usually always won.

It's just gonna take time and money.

Well, that's true of course.

Erkki, you cheated me on this land
trade. From the top of the Urja.

Quite harsh to say.

Harsh to say?

Not at all, on my opinion.

You offered me an outrageous price just
to get your land value to rise.

And in that way, you could
get guarantees for your own loans.

I paid you exactly the price that the Ministry
of Trade and Industry and the banks have approved.

If I had paid you 2-3 thousand marks per
hectare, then you could say I was cheating.

Come on, get some sense
into your words sometimes.

I paid you the right price.

The matter is settled.

So, the right price?

Well, hey, let's go to my room.

Don’t mind about Kari.

Best of luck, it will
be a fantastic castle.

Please, help yourselves.

I thought, since this is such a large project,
it’s fitting to have a sparkling glass of wine.

If I may raise a toast to this project.

Do you happen to
have any sparkling water?

Sorry, I forgot again.

Well, it’s okay.

On a day like this.

Well, cheers then.
