MINE CLOSED
NO ADMITTANCE

No point trying to win your
bread around here anymore.

Don't stay here to piss around.
Won't do you a shit's worth of good.

You'll drink yourself silly
and get frustrated.

Take the car keys.

It's yours now. You've always
liked it better than the others.

They are no good anyway,
if they won't stay here -

life in the South'll get them down
and they'll hang themselves.

I'll just say that I've
had it with this shit-

but don't do what I do.
This is shit, too.

How much?
- All of it.

74, 75, 76, 77, 78, 79 and 8,000.
- Thanks.

Sighing low, the evening comes

Lights come on behind the windows

No-one else stays
behind in the dark

As the lights drive away
the shadows of the night

I don't turn the lights on

I don't think I need them now

You're my brightest light

Too too bright, I'd say

A hamburger.

Great set of wheels.
- Yeah. What sort of mill?

Mill?
- The engine.

I don't know.
- Open the hood, let's check it out.

As drivers:
Salminen, Niskanen -

Mattila, Tällström, Pesonen, -

Laine, Markkula,
Jokinen, Väisänen.

And a couple more.

You, you and you.

You.

Name?
- Kasurinen, Taisto.

256 marks.

Whose is this?
I found it on the trash can.

It's Makkonen's. He got run
over by a forklift. Keep it.

Thanks. Where do I sign?

Nowhere.

We borrowed your radio.

That's OK. Do you know where
I could spend the night?

I do.
- Where?

Give us a lift?
- Sure.

Got any room here?
- Bed or mattress?

What's the difference?
- Bed's 30 marks a night.

A mattress is a bit less as
you get no sheets. - A bed.

Hello. - Hi!

Gimme the funny pages.

Here.

Make up your mind, I must go.
- Good day. Sorry.

Who do I complain to?
- To me, personally.

Is there anything I can do?

A dinner wouldn't do any harm.
- Let's go.

Not while I'm on duty.
I'll have to quit.

It was a ridiculous cap anyway.

Thanks for the evening,
my first in a convertible.

The roof doesn't work.
- I know.

It's dark. Want to come up?
- If it's not too much trouble.

I've got only coffee.
- Coffee's fine.

I'm divorced.
- Don't let it get you down.

I've got a kid, too. - Even better.
We save time, raising a family.

Always so self-confident?
- This is the first time.

Just don't make any noise.
- No-one will notice.

Hm. I hope I won't regret this.

Irmeli.
- Taisto.

Nice to meet you.
- Likewise.

I think we've met somewhere.
- I saw you once in a bar.

Do your friends call you Tasi?
- I've got no friends.

Everybody has.
- I'm from the countryside.

That's different.
- You're getting the picture.

Was your husband a drunk?
- No, he found someone else.

Where?
- I don't remember.

The whole thing was a mistake.
I hated him from the start.

That's odd.
- That's what you think.

Will you disappear in the morning?

No, we'll be together forever.
- Good.

I must go to work early.
Good night.

Coffee.

Toast or crispbread?
- Crispbread.

It's broken.

Mother told you to call her.

Aren't you going to work?

I can't come yet.

Meet me here, at four.

Bye.

Found anything?
- No.

I'll work at the docks
if there's anything.

See you tonight?
- No, I'm working.

Where? - Bank of Finland,
as a night watchman.

I need the money.

The whole apartment is
furnished on instalments.

Do you still have a lot to pay?

No. I'll be OK
in a couple of years.

Nice wind.

I lost my dreams,
everything in my life

I lost my dreams,
because of you

Now I'm lost in my dreams
I hide from the world

I look out of the window,
see the rain come down

I miss you, my love

Kasurinen.
- What?

You owe us for four nights.
- I know, I haven't got any money.

Go and get some.

How much do you want for it?

At least 20 thousand.

Six and half.

That's all?

Nobody'd give any more
for a heap this old.

Alright then.

Leave the car here, you'll get
the money in the morning. - Right.

Kasurinen as follows:

No money. Belt and shirt.

Mikkonen.

Good night.

What were those?

Sedatives.

What for?

Ask me again in a year.

What do you do, normally?

What do you mean normally?
I've always been here.

What will you do
when you get out?

Kasurinen.

A visitor for you.

Hi, Tasi.
- Hi.

How are you, Tasi?
- Alright.

I've got a job.
- Go and play somewhere.

Where?
- In the hallway.

Will you marry me?
- Here?

No, on the outside.
- Alright, but how?

You take care of the paperwork,
I'll come when I can.

You won't.

Listen, Mikkonen.

I don't think I can avoid it.

I'm thinking of getting
out of here soon.

I see. How?

Don't know yet. Somehow.

Getting out is no big deal,
many people've made it.

But they've been brought
back soon enough -

and ended up doing twice
as much time as before.

That's because they've stayed
here or gone to Sweden.

Or headed to the nearest bar
and got loaded.

You've got to go further away.

Italy or Africa, first at least.

I've been thinking about
Mexico or Brazil.

Even better.
But that costs money.

You think I haven't planned
it all a hundred times?

First you need three grand
for a passport-

and ten more for the seamen
to hide you in the cargo -

and to put you off somewhere
around the equator.

But it's dangerous. If the cargo
begins to shift in a storm.

Many've died that way.

You must go underground -

until you get a passport
and find the right ship.

How many years do you have left?
- Eight, for manslaughter.

But I'm innocent.
- Are you?

At least in God's eyes.

In a way I did kill him,
but the truth is I didn't.

The result was the same:
He died and I was sent here.

Alright, let's go then.

I am 37 now and 8 more
makes me about 43.

Then I won't last 3 hours outside
without killing somebody.

Kasurinen!

What? -You can take the floor-mop
with you to bed tonight.

Why? - You can pretend
it's your wedding night.

Kasurinen, Taisto.

You cannot see him now,
he's in solitary.

Why?
- For violent behaviour.

He's not violent. - The warden
whose jaw he broke disagrees.

It was somebody else.

Come back on Sunday.
He'll be taken to his cell tonight.

It's his birthday,
would you take these to him?

Happy birthday.

I didn't want to begin alone.

Age has given me a sweet tooth.

But nobody sends me anything.
It's my own fault.

When other boys had their eyes on
girls, I sat in juvenile prison -

for having taken
an old lame granny's sledge.

Mikkonen.
- Shoot.

This isn't my birthday,
it's sometime in the winter.

The deal' off.

You can't do that.
- Why not?

I hear the bitter laughter
echo in the darkness

Tonight I won't accuse
you of anything because

For you I would walk
through a desert haze

On this autumn night
my mind is blue

Tonight no stars shine
to comfort me

I guess it's useless
to hope for anything

Best to drown
myself in the night

Where's the other witness?

There isn't another.
- I'll get someone.

In front of these witnesses
I ask you Irmeli Pihlaja -

do you take Taisto Kasurinen
as your lawful wedded husband -

in sickness and in health?

I do.

You having both answered
yes to my questions, -

I pronounce you man and wife.

What?

Dad, the cops are coming.

Four thousand, each.
- That's a lot.

There's not much competition.
- Alright.

How are you
going to get the money?

Don't you worry about that.

We could help you.

Alright.
Fix us a car and a gun.

What's our cut?
The passports are part of the deal.

A quarter, regardless of the take.

Half. And you can sleep here
before and after the job.

And if we get nothing?
- Every business has its risks.

When are the passports
ready? - In the morning.

Alright. Half.
We need the car in the morning.

Give me the gun.

Let's go.

How much did we get?
- Enough.

I'll get the passports,
you wait here. - Why?

I don't trust them.

How did it go?

Where are the passports?

The car was fucked.
- I know.

You couldn't get it in reverse.
Let's split the take now.

I think we'll take it all.

You're a risk to me, if you get
caught you may start to sing.

The other one's still outside.
Go and get him.

Mikkonen.

Take the money and run.

I have to go and
I can't take you with me.

You must be a brave boy
and wait here for my call.

Meanwhile you can pack
your little suitcase.

Put everything you want
to take with you in it.

We're going abroad.

Irmeli.

What?
- Be sure to call me.

We have to get him to hospital.
- I know.

Stop.
The ship's called Ariel.

Tonight at ten o'clock,
off Hernesaari Point.

Bury my heart at the dump.

What's this button for?

Hello.

I understand. Bye.

Here's a package for you.

Over here.

Where's Mikkonen?

He won't be coming.

But we are three.
- I'd like to see the money.

Alright. Let' go.

Where's the Ariel headed?
- Mexico. Didn't you know?

Somewhere over the rainbow,
way up high

There's a land that I heard of
once in a lullaby

Somewhere, over the rainbow,
skies are blue

And the dreams that you dare
to dream really do come true
