My father was a man who didn't talk much.

The only thing he taught me

was that everybody's on their own here.

You learn it here naturally.

I didn't manage to teach even that to my sons.

They had to do without.

Three beers.

I did a lot of bad things before I became a cop.

Things you keep quiet about.

But the only thing I regret

is that I never knew how to be a father.

...3000 cubic meters of firewood yearly.

The number of visitors is judged by firewood use

and different guest and log books.

FOR INSOMNIA

Two bears were felled in Lapland on Monday.

The first felling of the season was made in Muonio, south of Kihlanki

where a male bear was felled.

In Salla near the Russian border a female bear was felled.

Kuntonen. You'll never believe who's sitting here.

Tell me.
Jaakko.

The killer who strangled his stepdad some years ago.

He's out of prison already?
It sure looks like it.

What's he doing?
Sitting.

Let him sit. What if he and his friends cause trouble?

Get up, man!

They didn't do anything.

I'm sure they did something.

They had a couple of beers, paid and left.

LAW OF THE LAND

Now the reindeer can run free again.

500?
For one man. There's two of us.

Give us a thousand and we'll call it even.

A thousand is too much.

We tracked it for two days.

Give us what you promised.

My sister asked you to come see her.

I'll be there when I have time.

Elmeri's always asking about you.

Is that your dad's car?

Lasse Kuntonen's car.
In the middle of the woods...

Should we check if he's inside?
Why would he be?

I'm sure he's gotten out.

Should we make sure he's not inside?
We don't have time.

Just a little accident.

You were supposed to work until the end of next month, right?

Your post will be terminated.

The nearest police station will be in the neighboring county.

Everybody knows that by now.

You're right.

What are you going to do?

I'll take my stuff and go.

What are you going to do now?

You should take care of yourself.

Why?

Thanks for lunch.

I'll go shovel snow for you.

Don't go anywhere.

There's one thing you need to know about Lasse Kuntonen.

Lasse Kuntonen, the cop?
What about him?

Citizens have learned not to call the police.

They know the police are busy and won't come.

People in remote areas suffer...

There's someone standing in our yard.

Huh? There's a man standing in our yard.

Is it a tourist?

Goddammit, is that Jaakko?

What does he want from us?

What do you want?

I want to talk to your clad.

He doesn't live here anymore.

I just wanted to talk.
I haven't talked to him in ages.

You should take off.

Take off, for fuck's sake.

What do they want? No idea.
They asked about Lasse.

Should we call Lasse and ask him to come around?

Put the gun away.

And tell him what?
That there was someone in our yard?

He's a convicted killer.
You can call the police for that.

We're not calling anyone.
Did you lock the door?

They're not coming back.

What are the dogs barking at?

Go check!

Wake UP!

Erkki! Are you here?

You were pretty rude earlier.

What are you doing here? Out!

I have unfinished business with the shotgun warrior. Get out!

I need to ask a couple of questions about Lasse Kuntonen. Out!

Put the gun away.

Stop!

Erkki, don't go there.

Come back.

Hey!

There was a shooting at the Syväjärvi house.

Anybody home? It's me, Lasse.

It's me, Lasse.

What happened?
I wrestled with a cop.

They peppersprayed me.

What happened? It took them three fuckin' hours to get here.

I lost it.

I guess you're not interested in working,

since they sent cops all the way from town.

My post was terminated.
When?

Yesterday.

That's just fucking great.

What are you going to do?
Nothing.

Don't do anything stupid.
I won't.

I mean it.
I said I won't.

The police can take care of it.

Jaakko took Tuomo's gun.

We'll get it back.

Tuomo's in intensive care.

He'll make it.

I don't know about that.

He was shot in the lungs with an elk rifle.

Tuomo's a tough guy;
he's not going to die.

I'll wait in the kitchen.

I'll take care of Jaakko.
He asked about you.

Who?
Jaakko.

He came by last night and asked about you. Why?

I guess he thought I still live here.

I doubt it.

Who is this handsome little guy?

He's Elmeri.

Nice name.
Thank you.

Why don't we talk.

What does your dad want?

I don't know.

(In Swedish:)
Are you on patrol here?

The police want to increase readiness.

You're not from around here, are you?

Your face isn't familiar to me.

I know who you are, by name and reputation.

Whose car is that?

It's mine.

You drive two cars?

Since when has the Border Guard been

responsible for customs duties?
Since now.

Okay. Bye.

He picked up the scent.

It's coming your way.

Do you read me?

Erkki?

Erkki !

Inkeri.

I thought you might drop by.

Are you alone?
That's none of your business.

Is Jaakko here?

He's in trouble but not because of me.

I told him about you.

Who?
I told Jaakko you're his father.

I have cancer.

I've got less than a year.

I didn't want to lie on your behalf anymore.

Jaakko will have no one.
He has the right to know.

You have to protect Jaakko.

I don't know if I'll be able to anymore.

He's your son.

You owe it to him.

What did Lasse say to you?
When?

When you were in our yard talking.
I saw you.

He told me to take you hunting

and keep you here for a couple of days.

Why?

Maybe he doesn't want you to go after Jaakko.

He knew you wouldn't let this lie.

Why the hell is he worried about it?

You left a message.
Wait in the restaurant.

I'll put you to bed.

That boy.
Elmeri.

Is he Erkki's?

Yes. Erkki didn't want to tell you.

What mess have you dragged him into?

Showing up in his life after all these years.

You don't know me.
So, what do you want from him?

Nothing. I'm trying to help him.

What do those men want?
What men?

A couple of Swedes came by, asking about you.

They gave me the creeps.

What is it?

Tuomo is dead.

Mom called from the hospital.
They couldn't save him.

What happened?

I already told you. Tuomo's dead.

A couple of hours ago.
His body just gave out.

Come play with me.

Uncle Lasse doesn't have time to play, but Mommy does.

Did you find Jaakko?

Not yet. But I will.

I want to come with you.

It's best we let the situation calm down.

So you've done nothing about it?

Are you just going to sit there?

They won't find him.

What if they do?
They won't.

How do you know?

Believe me, I know.

(In Swedish:)
Gunnar asked about you.

I saw him at the border crossing point.

They're after Jaakko, right?

Who's paying him?

Half the village.

Is there a lynching going on?
Maybe.

Were you thinking of doing something about it?

You're on your own with this.

A cup of coffee, please.

How much is it?
That's okay.

No, I'll pay. I'm no thief.

Wouldn't it be polite to smile in your line of work?

What?
You heard me.

You mumble like that to all your customers?

No wonder you don't have any.

Cindy. That's your name?

That's what it says.

That's not a common name up here.

I'm not from up here.
I can tell.

You're tougher than the local girls.

I've lived here all my life.
Nice.

This place opened just a couple of years ago.

It's been here for a couple of decades. It wasn't always a bar.

It used to be a whorehouse.

If that's all...
You know Lasse Kuntonen, right?

I know who he is.
He's a Finnish police officer.

And his son Erkki Syväjärvi?

I don't know him that well either.

But he's your boyfriend, right?

Why are you lying to me?

Thanks for the coffee.

Tell your boyfriend to talk to his dad

and ask him who I am.
Things might not be that simple.

Mom, I'm thirsty.

The boy would break in half from this distance.

(In Swedish:) Why are you here?
I was paid.

Who paid you?
People.

Wouldn't you like to go hunting?
One last time.

Never again.

Why not?
There's nothing in it for me.

Not like there used to be?

I should've quit earlier.
Been somewhere else.

Where?

I could have had a family.
You too.

We would've been lousy family men.

Who knows? We never tried.

And now it's too late.

I'm going to find Jaakko.

And you're going to help me.
You know the area.

You know where I can find him.

I hear you're after Jaakko.
I want to be part of this.

Who's this?
My son.

He has a big mouth.

Erkki. Do you remember me?

Your father never talked much about his family life,

but I met you once.

I think you were one or two years old.

He was just here.
He couldn't have gone far.

Shall we go?

Why don't you stay on the Swedish side.

The boys and I will go back to Finland.

Inkeri, it's me, Lasse. Listen.

The Swedes are looking for Jaakko on the Swedish side.

Sooner or later they'll find you,

and if Jaakko is with you, they'll shoot both of you.

I checked the house yesterday.
They might still be inside.

They're not dumb.
They're not very wise either.

Don't waste your energy.
It's going to be a long night.

What should we do?

They could be at Lake Raittijärvi.

They wouldn't go there.

Why not? Jaakko is friends with the reindeer herders.

That's why.
It would be too obvious.

Let's go there anyway.

What should I tell your girlfriend?
Tell her everything's all right.

Let's wait till morning at least.
What if they leave?

You really think you're going to find your way in the dark? Sure.

You want to spend the night in the cold forest?

You can stay here if you want.

Good evening.

Evening.

Cut the engine.

Who's he?
He's with me.

Was there anything else?

Get out of here.

Why?

Because a police officer is telling you to.

If you have a gun in your hand, you'll have to use it.

Just leave it.

Lasse has suffered enough.

Lasse. He always came with me of his own free will.

Had he wanted to stay home, he would've.

You're bitter because Lasse quit.

You want to take him down with you, don't you?

We started doing this together,

so we'll quit together.

Not a glimpse of Jaakko or his friends.

They're not here now and won't be later. How do you know?

Someone had seen Jaakko.
Where?

He's gone to Norway.
No one will catch them there.

Let's go check anyway.

Why?
Because I say so.

How were you thinking of proceeding?

I'm sure you know.

Take them. I have two pairs.

I don't need them.

I'm not going over there to fight if you're frozen stiff.

Are you scared?

You have nothing to prove.

To whom?
I know you're angry, but still.

Why would I be angry? Well, there's been all kinds of things.

Are we talking about you?

Are you saying I'm angry at you?
I didn't mean that.

You've got some nerve trying to ease your conscience.

I don't need to ease anything.

We forgot about you in a week.

And Mom found a better man to replace you. That's good.

We didn't miss you.
We did fine without you.

Sure you could've given some explanation.

How do you explain to a sevenyearold

that you don't know how to be a father? I was five!

What are you staring at?

The whole village will hear you yelling.

This is the end of this damn conversation.

One more thing.
What is it, dammit?

You have to know the consequences.

They'll put you in prison.

Or you'll get killed. Jaakko doesn't care about things like that.

He has nothing to lose.

You have a family. Elmeri will grow up without a father.

It runs in the family, doesn't it?

I'm not going over there.
Do what you like.

Maybe it's better this way.

Yeah.

What does the giraffe say?
It's not a giraffe.

It's not a giraffe?
No.

It does have a long neck.

Here.
That's not its neck.

This is.
What does it say?

I'm frozen in shock.

Come dance with me.

Son, I just came home from a hunting trip. I'm tired.

I can come.
No way.

I will.

Mom and Dad will join us later.

I've saved some money over the years.

You need a house.
You have a family.

You're living at your mom's place,

and your woman and child here in the bar. You don't have to.

I don't need the money for anything. Still.

Sure, I can give it to the poor, but I'd rather give it to you.

Okay, if you insist.

I don't want to see my grandson

living surrounded by drunks and cigarette smoke.

Right.

I could try to find you a job.

I know a couple of people...
Let's take it one clay at a time.

Sure.

We've been looking everywhere for you.

What is it?
Jaakko.

Don't say anything.

Let's talk outside.
It's best we talk inside.

What about Jaakko?
You know we like to ski.

Get to the point. We were supposed to ski to the Jussintupa Hut

and grill sausages, but we changed our mind.

There were people who we didn't feel like hanging out with.

Jaakko was there, and probably also his two friends.

Don't tell anyone we told you.

We won't.
You're a good boy.

Ruthless. That's what you have to be up here.

You're like your father, and that's good.

Think about it some more.

You lied to me!
You told me they're in Norway.

If you go, you'll go alone.
Hell yeah, I will.

(In Swedish:) Go with him.

They're all inside.

Let's go from different directions.

Jaakko.

You're being ambushed from the forest.

Get the hell out of here.

Immediately.

Stay there.
Go.

Come.

Come on out.

You fucking shot at me!
Calm down.

You got one in your cheek.
Put snow on it.

I told you we'd get this back.

TO TUOMO

We have to make it to the village before them.

Let's sort one thing out first.

I saw what you did.

Why did you let Jaakko go?

Jaakko is my son.

Your brother.

I doubt you want to kill your brother.

Hey Lasse.

Wake him up.

Wake up.
Goddammit.

What is it?

Where's the ammo for this gun?

What are you going to do with it?
You told Lasse where to find us.

No.

You were hiding in the bushes, weren't you?

He means we understand your pain.

Your stepdad was violent when he drank,

like all your mother's boyfriends.

My husband should've intervened.
Right, honey?

You should've helped this boy,

and not just look away.
Stop that.

What's wrong with you?
With who?

With people, in general.

I just want ammo for these guns.

It's in the kitchen, above the window.

When they come, go make sure your sister and Elmeri are safe.

I'll take care of Jaakko.

We're not leaving. Nobody is.

Go back into hiding and stay there.

This isn't you.

This is exactly me.

You don't know what you're doing.

You bet your ass I do.
I'd like to shoot you.

I didn't mean that.

I didn't shoot Tuomo.

Somebody did.

I wanted to talk to you.
You wouldn't listen. I lost it.

It happens every now and then.

Tuomo started pointing his gun at us.

Where's Lasse?

I don't give a shit.

I beat him up and left him in the woods. Why did you do that?

I lost it.

You know what it's like when we lose it.

Our account is settled.
Let's go.

You're not going anywhere.

Your friend can go, but you're not going anywhere.

Tuomo was a good man.

He raised me.
Come finish it then.

What do you think you're doing?

What? Get the fuck out of here.

We have your son. You want to come with us? Which one?

Huh?
I'll follow you.

HEALTHCARE CENTER

(In Swedish:)
What brings you to me?

I was thinking of leaving without telling anyone,

but then I decided I wanted to say goodbye.

There's nothing more I can do.

The police talked to Erkki's mother.

Jaakko didn't shoot Tuomo.

Then who did?
The one with the red beard.

Is that true? That's what Erkki's mom said to the police.

One more thing.

The shooter was found dead in front of a wilderness hut.

Killed with a shotgun.

Do you happen to know anything about it?

No?

That's what I thought.

Soon the Swedish and Finnish police are going to raid this village.

This fighting has been going on too long.

So if you have any unfinished business,

you should take care of it while you can.

I'll wait for you.

You don't get it.

Erkki never wanted this.

He only wanted your respect.

He wanted you to appreciate him.

He wanted you to realize that you have a son.

You're not like me.

Neither should you be.

I'll be better than you.

Get going.

Are they waiting by the side of the road?

I had to tell him you're Jaakko's father.

Tell who?
Gunnar.

That's okay.

Hi, it's Mom.

I have someone here who wants to talk to you.

Jaakko.

It's me, Lasse.

Can we meet?

Without guns.

Just you and me.
Why?

I'd like to explain why everything happened the way it did.

You had thirty years to tell me.
Why now?

I know you didn't kill Tuomo.

You can still get out of this.

Where do you want to meet?

The big bridge at the edge of the village. I'll see you there.

Right away.
Yes. I'll be there.

If you bring people...

Who would I bring? I'll come alone.

(In Swedish:) He disappeared.

He knows we're coming after him.

There's a tunnel ahead.

It'll happen soon. Watch your back.
Okay.

(In Swedish:) Lasse, listen.

Gunnar.

Fuck.
How many sons do you have?

Only those two, as far as I know.

Now I understand what's going on here.

I was thinking of going to see my son.

Go ahead.

I'll go alone.

I've never let a catch get away.

And I'm not about to start.

Okay.

Stay there.

You might make it.

I'll shoot!
I'm not here for you!

Jaakko.

Jaakko, I'm here!

Get up.

Why did you come?

Why did you come?

If I knew

why I left you back then,

I'd tell you.

That's what you came to tell me?

YES.

That's good enough for me.
