00:00The Monetimba project has gone a bit roundabout.
00:04The thing is that you take and destroy the whole shit.
00:08I don't know if we'll ever get the money back.
00:12I'll give you eight weeks to get the money I invested.
00:16How are your children?
00:18They're doing well.
00:22Now would be a fucking good time to start talking.
00:25I'm so fucking sorry.
00:27Now would be a fucking good time to start talking.
00:30I've told you everything I know.
00:34What the hell is wrong with you?
00:36You were there at the party and you shot some guy in the head.
00:38It was a joke.
00:50What would you say if...
00:53if we went for a couple of drinks?
01:23What would you say if we went for a couple of drinks?
01:35Jäälä Mikkonen.
01:42I'm an economist by training.
01:45And the last few years I've been...
01:48at home with the kids.
01:54I'm an economist by training.
01:58There's always a lot more to do than there's time.
02:03But somehow you just have to push yourself through.
02:08Like this morning, I was taking care of Tapio's company's accounting and invoicing.
02:23I was taking care of Tapio's company's accounting and invoicing.
02:33In the evening, I was talking to my investment advisors about the recent market outlook.
02:39And then I spent about an hour doing scientific research on the families who were at risk of bankruptcy.
02:47And then I met the executive director of Pelastakaa Lapset ry and the head of Suomen Plänen.
03:01And in the evening, I took part in a meeting of the domestic school association.
03:06The list of speakers was long and there was a lot of talk.
03:10A lot.
03:12And then after all of this, you can start to understand the daily life of the family and ask questions.
03:26What wouldn't make a good future for the family?
03:33This was a pretty typical day.
03:41What kind of day? Should it start in the morning or...
03:45Whatever you want.
03:48Yeah.
03:50Well, I usually go through the tasks of the day the previous evening.
03:54And also two days ago when we went through the bookkeeping with Jaana.
03:58We don't have more than four million in the piggy bank, do we?
04:01This is a different matter. We need hands. We had everything we had.
04:05Well, let's arrange something.
04:07That Pietani gig was something.
04:11What are you trying to say?
04:14Okay, you lied to me, but you came up with something else, didn't you?
04:18Didn't you?
04:20When you know what tomorrow brings, you usually fall asleep much better.
04:27In the morning, I went to negotiate with my long-term sales agent in his current office.
04:33I gave him a tip and he took it.
04:39As I said, the Pietari gig didn't sell to me.
04:43What can I do from here?
04:48I don't care.
04:52After that, I negotiated with a significant after-sales agent from a big stock exchange.
05:00These are last year's models.
05:02I won't take anything else. The police are after me all the time.
05:07Didn't you say you'd order these?
05:09What am I going to do with these now?
05:11Well, it's up to you.
05:13Then, half a day later, I went to my mother's room, because she had a complaint.
05:20I just had to make sure everything was in order.
05:23I already have a digi-box.
05:25This needs to be stored.
05:27The programs don't change for no reason.
05:31I can't even look at it anymore.
05:34What do you think? Should I call a doctor?
05:37Because you're a little tired?
05:39I've never felt like this before.
05:41It's itching and giving me a headache.
05:43Yes, that's what's going on now.
05:45Hey, look now.
05:46When you want to download the program, you press this option.
05:50Then, you choose the program from here.
06:00I'm sorry.
06:13So, did it happen?
06:16What?
06:17You said you went to your mother's room to see if everything was in order.
06:21Did it happen?
06:22It did. Everything was great.
06:26And how did your day go?
06:28Great.
06:34After my mother, I went to lunch, then to the bank, and took care of various...
06:40...running errands.
06:47Timppa!
06:48Timppa!
06:57In the evening, there was a tight sales meeting.
07:01I went to pick it up in the morning.
07:03I bought a few things. I should be able to get by.
07:09That's more than enough.
07:13This is all of it.
07:24In the evening, around ten o'clock, I came home.
07:29The days as an entrepreneur are long, but on the other hand, there's no alternative...
07:33...if you want your family to have a job.
07:49So, I bought a house theater.
07:52Did you have anything?
07:57No, no. Nothing.
08:02Shut the door behind me.
08:09I'm sorry.
08:12I'm sorry.
08:14I'm sorry.
08:15I'm sorry.
08:16I'm sorry.
08:25You're having a nice day.
08:27Working and having fun.
08:30But when are you going to be together?
08:33Yesterday was a bit tight.
08:35But you said it was a typical day.
08:38Well, we're often busy, but we also take time off.
08:42When was the last time you had sex?
08:46Well, let's take a step back.
08:48When did you suggest having sex?
08:52Or did you even want it?
08:55And one more thing.
08:57With another woman.
08:59Is this somehow essential?
09:00Don't you think so?
09:02What do we have to lose?
09:04Well, that's a question for a lot of other people as well,
09:06other than the fact that we have a cover-up.
09:08Well, don't tell me anything.
09:12From what I've heard so far,
09:14you're doing really well.
09:16Alone.
09:18But you were sitting there together.
09:21Why did you come?
09:29Tell me.
09:31How does it grow?
09:33Has it spread?
09:35Can it be cut?
09:37I don't know. I just heard about it.
09:39We still have to investigate.
09:41Did it affect your wishes?
09:45Mom.
09:47No, just the doctor.
09:50Just a regular doctor.
09:52He said he had to go.
09:54What did he say?
09:56He said he didn't know yet.
09:58Nobody knows.
10:02You and Timpan should come here together.
10:06I'm sure.
10:08Now that you're listening,
10:10I hope this all turns out for the best.
10:13But like you said,
10:15nobody knows yet.
10:17And if it doesn't,
10:19you don't know how long mom has time.
10:25You and Timpan have been going at it for years.
10:28And it was so happy,
10:30it was so easy for him to hear
10:32that you're doing the repair together again.
10:34Well, he hasn't heard how it ended.
10:36And you don't tell him that.
10:38You and Timpan have always been the same.
10:41Always something crazy,
10:43just crazy things.
10:45You'd think a big man,
10:47a little bit of other people than yourself.
10:49I think of my family.
10:51What kind of loss is that for you?
10:54The guy has a successful business.
10:56Money comes from the door and windows.
11:00Look, mom.
11:03He has real problems.
11:05What problems does he have?
11:35I love you.
12:01You don't.
12:06Mairi told me
12:08that she would be ready to come back
12:10as a spokeswoman.
12:12And what did you say?
12:14I was honest.
12:16I think you've done a fantastic job.
12:18Well, now I'm doing something
12:20that has some meaning.
12:22For example, support for orphaned families.
12:24That's what we see.
12:26You can't go anywhere
12:28with a salesman's system.
12:30Just like that.
12:32Even though you haven't done anything.
12:34I'm just saying
12:36that you should sell to Mairi
12:38so that she would be interested.
12:40I mean, I think it would be right
12:42for Mairi to come back
12:44as a spokeswoman.
12:46There's so much going on
12:48that I don't know how she would do it.
12:50Then we'll help her.
12:52Mairi would never admit it herself.
12:54But the union is her life.
13:00It wouldn't be a big loss for you.
13:04You have so much more in your life.
13:21Did you notice that Jari
13:23has bought you a home theater?
13:25I can't stand Matikka anymore.
13:27Where does he get his money from?
13:29He plays poker.
13:31What?
13:33He doesn't tell anyone.
13:35That's what he told me.
13:37Internet poker.
13:39There's something wrong here.
13:41Why is there something wrong
13:43if Arjo ever succeeds?
13:45Hey, I know my son.
13:47You do?
13:49And I don't know him either.
13:51Ask him what he wants from me.
13:53I'm just trying to understand
13:54where he gets his money from.
13:55Does he have the respect of a woman
13:57to succeed somewhere where you don't?
13:59Why don't you just break up?
14:02Say something else.
14:07When Jaana doesn't want to talk about something,
14:09she turns her attention away
14:11by getting upset and losing her temper.
14:13I just happened to be
14:15different about it.
14:16And that's why I had to
14:17tell my son about it.
14:19Did you tell him?
14:20Of course not.
14:21I think it would be great
14:22if Jari succeeded in internet poker.
14:23Even though I don't
14:24accept threats anymore.
14:25But anyway,
14:26why would I tell Jari
14:27if he doesn't have any pocket money?
14:29I live with my whole family.
14:31So you're still comparing
14:32who knows more?
14:34No, I'm just trying to say that
14:37it's not a threat to me.
14:39Because he only knows pocket money?
14:41Because he's my son.
14:43But you used the word threat.
14:44What made you think that?
14:48Wait a minute,
14:49this conversation is going
14:50in the wrong direction.
14:51I think it's going
14:52in an interesting direction.
14:53Yeah, I see.
14:54But that's not why
14:55I came here.
14:56Why did you come here?
14:58So you could help Jaana.
15:00She's the one with the problem here.
15:03I see.
15:04Do you often feel like
15:06all your problems
15:07are caused by other people?
15:13What I'm saying about Jaana
15:14is true.
15:15I believe that.
15:17But sometimes it can be like this.
15:19In a sick community,
15:21healthy individuals
15:22get sick first.
15:24Excuse me?
15:26That's not true.
15:27I've read about it somewhere.
15:29I'm not sick.
15:31I think we're running out of time,
15:34but listen, Tapio.
15:37If you want to save a relationship,
15:41you have to look deeper.
15:44Also deep inside.
15:57Jari Mikkonen.
15:59Yes?
16:00Tuomera's Larry, how are you?
16:02Your sister called me.
16:04Oh.
16:05Probably in an accident.
16:06She said she'd lend me your phone.
16:09So what?
16:10Probably the one we gave you
16:12when we went to her concert
16:13in April.
16:15Where you're standing now
16:17at the music stage.
16:19You're organizing a party,
16:20buying new cars,
16:22testing the car,
16:24playing video games.
16:26You seem to have a lot of money.
16:28Tell me where you got it.
16:30Drop it or give it to someone.
16:32We can make a deal.
16:33No, we can't.
16:35You'll bring me the money
16:36and the money bags.
16:38I'll call you later.
16:55Hey, Liisa.
17:02Oh yeah, that's a good thing.
17:10The day after tomorrow?
17:11Yeah.
17:13I guess I'll make it.
17:16Yeah.
17:18Okay, good.
17:19Bye.
17:24Bye.
17:46So this is what it's like.
17:49One day, when you come home,
17:51a man lies in your bed.
17:56I'm not a guest anymore,
17:58but this is just a demo
18:00to show you
18:02what life is like
18:04when a couple hits it off.
18:07What do you think?
18:21Yeah.
18:41So what now?
18:43Tuomela.
18:46I don't know anyone by that name.
18:52Okay.
18:54This is a friend of mine
18:56we did that thing
18:58in the spring.
19:00A band music demo.
19:02Yeah.
19:03And now I'm not talking about my band.
19:05Yeah, thanks.
19:06I get it.
19:07He knows who I am.
19:09At least not when I tell him.
19:11He doesn't care why.
19:13Now he wants me to
19:14return all those
19:16candles to him.
19:18Return?
19:19Which I don't have.
19:22He doesn't believe me.
19:24What do I do?
19:25He's a crazy guy.
19:28Jari.
19:30Why are you telling me this?
19:32You know him.
19:35First of all,
19:37what can I do here?
19:40Second,
19:41even though I'm free,
19:43I'm just a honest
19:45Finnish entrepreneur.
19:47I don't understand any of this band stuff.
19:58Be careful.
20:12Tapio won't come anymore.
20:14You're probably going too far with him.
20:17What am I going to do with him?
20:19You can't go to couples therapy alone.
20:22I'll tell you the terms.
20:24If this is going to help you,
20:26it's good.
20:28But if you're here to solve problems
20:30and not just prove them,
20:31wouldn't it be good
20:32if the problem
20:33even bothered to be here?
20:34Jaana.
20:36Don't you have enough
20:38to blame Tapio for the problems
20:40and blame everyone else for the problems?
20:43You said so yourself.
20:45Listen, little one.
20:47You're doing exactly the same thing
20:49as Tapio.
20:50But it's not the same at all.
20:52Why not?
20:53Well,
20:54because I'm right and Tapio is wrong.
20:56Oh.
20:57That's how it is.
20:59Everything I do
21:00is for Tapio.
21:02Okay.
21:04Okay, I don't get paid for my work.
21:08But...
21:10But that doesn't mean
21:12that what I'm doing
21:13isn't somehow valuable.
21:15I meet important people.
21:16I've even been a mayor.
21:24Well, money does pay.
21:28But everything else seems to be too much.
21:31There's always a rush
21:33and work and...
21:35There's always some excuse.
21:36So that he can't come here.
21:38There's a reason for everything.
21:40I'm sorry.
21:43Yes, his mother has cancer.
21:44They're arranging some nurses
21:45when he gets out of the hospital.
21:47And of course it has to be right now.
21:49Okay, it's awful.
21:53And I hope he'll get better
21:54and I'll go see him as soon as I can.
21:56But he's not going to die
21:58at any moment.
22:00What does Tapio need them for?
22:06Well,
22:07he's not even a real doctor,
22:09but he does know how to listen to women.
22:12Liisa would be thrilled.
22:14I'll go tell Jaana myself.
22:17Is the grill hot?
22:18Just a moment, honey.
22:20Hey, hurry up.
22:21Mom's about to jump.
22:22What? I said I didn't want to jump
22:24at the same time.
22:26What should I have said?
22:28That I don't want to see it.
22:29Not just to Mom.
22:31I don't care
22:32if you hit each other
22:34when you're together.
22:36But Mom just got out of the hospital.
22:38And you greet her.
22:40And your brother.
22:42And you're smiling like hell.
22:59Mom,
23:01welcome home.
23:07Hello, hello.
23:08Was it crowded?
23:09No, not at all.
23:31What is this?
23:34Did you lock it in my room again?
23:36I changed your lock
23:37and found this under your pillow.
23:39Who are you trying to kill?
23:43Who do you think you are?
23:45Calm down.
23:46It's a copy.
23:47Just a toy.
23:48It can't really shoot.
23:50Aren't you a little too old
23:52to play with a gun?
23:54Would it be better if it was real?
23:56What are you doing with it?
23:58I don't know.
24:00Nothing.
24:02It's not mine.
24:05Then whose is it?
24:07I found it in the attic.
24:09I don't know.
24:11Probably my father's.
24:22Five minutes.
24:26If Mom were to die now,
24:28I'd probably sell it.
24:30Of course I hope everything goes well
24:32and I feel bad and can't think of anything else, but...
24:35It's good to think it through.
24:37I just think that
24:39you've probably paid off your debt.
24:43Why do you ask?
24:45Because if Mom were to die,
24:46we'd split it in three.
24:48I don't have the money to pay you off.
24:51What are you talking about?
24:53So you still have debt.
24:55How much?
24:57Some amount.
24:59Now the new law came into force
25:01that measures all the debts.
25:03It doesn't work that way automatically.
25:05It does.
25:07Call a good man and ask.
25:09When I'm free,
25:11I don't have enough money to pay off my debt.
25:14But if you have something else...
25:16What if we take the main ones
25:18and if need be, they'll show up?
25:20At Mom's house, you start talking like that.
25:22Let it be.
25:25Is it in place, by the way?
25:28Yes, what?
25:30Could you pay off your debt?
25:33I haven't even tried to pay it off.
25:36It's been 15 years,
25:37I've done all kinds of things
25:38that would be better left unpaid.
25:41I see.
25:43But still, if it were true,
25:44I could start from scratch.
25:47Why would we need that?
25:49We don't have a problem now either.
25:53Yes.
25:54I need more hands, by the way.
25:56I'll go shopping tomorrow.
25:58Remind me in the morning.
26:15What is this doing here?
26:16What?
26:18This gun.
26:20Oh, that.
26:21I found it under Jari's pillow today.
26:23What?
26:25You have no idea what they're up to these days.
26:28I was really surprised when Jari said it was a copy.
26:31He said he found it in the attic.
26:33Where did you get it?
26:36I don't remember.
26:56You're not stupid.
26:59You know this isn't a toy.
27:02I didn't want to worry my mom.
27:10Jari, what have I done to you?
27:14What did you think you were doing here?
27:16What did you think you were doing here?
27:18You're not stupid.
27:20You know this isn't a toy.
27:23What did you think you were doing here?
27:28This is an EKI.
27:29I promised to keep it when we moved.
27:31I had forgotten.
27:32Jari!
27:36Jari, this isn't a toy.
27:38I know that.
27:43You're older than me.
27:44We can talk about this directly.
27:47What I've done for a living,
27:49I don't think there's anything great about it.
27:53Why are you doing this?
27:55Because I have to eat something too.
27:57I'm trying to feed my family.
28:00I think it's great.
28:06Don't, Jari.
28:09Don't make the same mistakes as I did.
28:19I'm sorry.
28:21I'm sorry.
28:47You seem to be away.
28:49Did something happen?
28:52Why didn't you tell me anything?
28:54Or did I just not listen?
28:57It's a strange thing when you don't trust each other anymore.
29:01I see.
29:03What do you think?
29:06We're not doing so well financially, as Tapio said.
29:13We have an old salary.
29:15A big one too.
29:18It's so big that we had to live with it.
29:21For 15 years.
29:22How much longer?
29:25It's Tapio's salary.
29:27So if you took it away, you wouldn't have to worry about the salary?
29:32Was that your advice?
29:34No, I was just stating the fact. You haven't acted like that.
29:38We promised each other that we'd get through this together, and we have.
29:43As long as you trust each other.
29:46Then all of a sudden you realize that everything looks like a burden.
29:52It doesn't lead anywhere.
29:55But I haven't asked about it.
29:59It can be a natural explanation. You could have changed your place of residence or something.
30:04Jaana, what would you do if you didn't have that burden in your life?
30:08The burden isn't important here.
30:11If you didn't have that burden in your life, what would you do?
30:15The same as up to this point.
30:17Are you sure?
30:18I have a lot of work. I have meetings. I meet important people.
30:22You do everything so that everyone can see how important you are.
30:26Or rather, so that no one can see how invaluable you are to yourself.
30:31I'm sorry, what?
30:32Jaana, Jaana, Jaana. A person can't live their whole life in a waiting room.
30:36You've waited 15 years and you're just starting to realize something.
30:41Don't push your luck.
30:48You're not happy.
30:51And you have to do something about it. And soon.
30:55Otherwise you'll be in trouble.
30:58What should I do?
31:00You've had 15 years to think about what you really want in life.
31:05And in that regard, you were still on the ground like a bird.
31:10But a change always starts with realizing the problem.
31:15And I feel that in that regard, we've reached a small breakthrough today.
31:23That's what we needed to do.
31:31When Liisa called, she said that she's going to her mother's tomorrow.
31:35And I was thinking about our schedule. When is the next therapy?
31:40I kicked her.
31:43Oh.
31:44She was a complete idiot.
32:03Jari Mikkonen.
32:05You don't mean anything to me. Where's my money?
32:08It's not that easy.
32:10I'm sure you value your health a lot.
32:13You have until tomorrow.
32:15I'll get it.
32:27If you're in such a bad mood, should you go to the hospital?
32:31Don't be nervous. I'm just asking. I feel like that.
32:36Hi.
32:38Mom, this is Mehu's end.
32:41And he can't go shopping himself?
32:43He just doesn't want to be alone.
32:45Are you going to run to him every day as soon as he calls?
32:48What should I do? Of course I'll go.
32:51What about work?
32:53I have to see how this develops.
32:56I'll have to talk to Liisa, develop some kind of treatment system or something.
33:00You'll have guests.
33:06Good morning.
33:09Good morning.
33:14Pia says you've been doing well with the surgery.
33:17Yes.
33:19You haven't talked since then?
33:21No, it's only been half a year.
33:24Yes, but you look good.
33:27Would you like some coffee?
33:29Did Pia tell you that I want to go back to the association?
33:32Yes, she did.
33:34As the head of the association.
33:37We've had some big changes in the association.
33:40Yes, Pia told me.
33:42It's quite a journey to get everyone back on their feet.
33:45But I just thought I'd mention it so you wouldn't be too surprised.
33:49Have some coffee.
34:16You're more than welcome back as the head of the association.
34:19What's going on in the association?
34:22You must be suspecting that there's another dog here.
34:26Ask someone else.
34:28The economy is doing well.
34:31The city council is listening to us.
34:36You wouldn't believe that I'd give up without a fight.
34:39That's not the Jaana Mikkonen I know.
34:43But I like this new one a lot more.
34:47Excuse me?
34:50A lot has happened here.
34:53A week ago I would have answered you in a different way.
34:57But now I realize that...
35:02I have to find a new direction in my life.
35:05Can you believe it?
35:10A different direction.
35:13Yes.
35:26If I were to leave this place,
35:30where would you like to go for a walk?
35:33I don't want to go anywhere.
35:38One more thing.
35:40You have my money and you have nothing to say.
35:43I've listened to your explanation many times.
35:46I know what Liisa has told you about the traditions.
35:49I don't want to think about it in advance.
35:52It doesn't matter to me, but it does to Liisa.
35:55What did you tell her?
35:57Nothing.
35:58So she doesn't know how much you owe her?
36:00She doesn't listen to you.
36:02I know you haven't taken care of them.
36:05Liisa doesn't want anything bad.
36:08You've had 15 years to take care of this.
36:12You should have thought of something else.
36:15Or me?
36:19Talk to Liisa.
36:37I love you.
37:07I love you.
37:37I love you.
38:08Jaana Mikkonen.
38:11Family support in distress.
38:14We met last week.
38:19Right.
38:21I remember.
38:25What was the project?
38:28It doesn't matter.
38:30I just wanted to say hi when I saw you.
38:33It's hard not to notice you.
38:36How so?
38:39I'm sorry, I'm talking non-stop.
38:47I'm going to lunch.
38:50Do you want to join me?
38:53Why not?
38:55If you're hungry.
38:58Okay.
39:04Bye.
39:11Have you thought about who gets the house if I die?
39:14No.
39:16You should.
39:19We'll talk about that later.
39:22I can decide when to talk about anything.
39:26I'd feel better if I knew things were taken care of in time.
39:32I don't have to worry about the old age.
39:36I don't have to worry about you getting a divorce.
39:41I just thought maybe you could work with Timpa.
39:47We're not divorced.
39:49Do you think I'm going to do this alone?
39:52I don't know you.
39:54What is it this time?
39:56Money.
39:58It's always about money.
40:01Is it worth it to lose it for a small amount of money?
40:07What does it mean to you?
40:13Hi, Mom.
40:16How are you?
40:19I'm going to rest.
40:29Tapio, the new law came into force in March this year.
40:33All old people are forgiven.
40:36What do you mean, all of them?
40:38All 15-year-olds.
40:40Except for Tupe, who is 15 years old.
