Hi, Mischa.

You've got connections on Åland, right?

All you have to do is get on the boat, meet me out on the water,

and sit on the goods for a while.

I descended from Heaven to join the people,

to teach them to love their neighbour as they do themselves.

For if they do not, no safe haven can exist,

in Heaven or on Earth.

What's going on? Where is Liv?

She left me.

Hi, Jonna!

We should get outdoor hot tubs.

Yes, for the guests to have a drink in at night.

Mischa!

What the hell?

Everything Lasse touches catches fire. It's like magic.

-What? -Nothing.

-He might spontaneously combust. -That's enough.

I was only joking.

THICKER THAN WATER

Jesus... The guests can either have hot food or a dry bed to sleep in.

What do you reckon they'll choose?

We'll just have to make sure they get both.

"Just"?

-We'll never get this done in time. -Of course we will.

-Don't be negative. It'll work out. -Work out? How?

It just will somehow! Don't be such a pessimist.

-Hello, Jorma. -Took you long enough.

I've been busy. There was a storm, you know.

It's in here.

Right...

Nothing missing except for a coat?

And a blanket.

-Valuables? The gun safe? -No, nothing.

Oh, there was one other thing. Here.

Maybe someone mistook the place for a hospital. What happens next?

I'll report it.

And the coat and the blanket?

Don't get your hopes up.

Who will reimburse me for the window?

Not the police, as you well know. Ask your insurance company.

I'll report it. That's all I can do for now.

Take care!

Did you sleep all right?

Sure.

-And are you all right? -I'm fine.

I can't help but wonder whose boat that was.

There's a fine line between courage and stupidity.

-So you didn't sleep well. -You could've died out in that wind.

-And the explosion... -But I'm fine. Let's get this done.

Did you see the state of the house? We'll have to cancel the dinners.

-We'll just hire someone to fix it. -But that costs...

-What's he doing here? -Quiet, Hieronymus.

Lost, Konrad?

I wanted to make sure the storm hadn't blown you away.

We're still here, as you can see.

Yes. Like a rash that won't stop itching.

-Did you suffer any damage? -No.

It was worse in '85. The forest looked like a Mikado set.

That was a storm. This was a light breeze.

-As you can see, we're quite busy. -Your house looks awful.

Those repairs won't come cheap.

All right. Come on.

Hope your insurance covers it!

Thanks for stopping by!

-What's wrong? -Nothing, I just have stuff to do.

Got a leaky ceiling in room 202 as well.

Why was Konrad here? Does he come often?

Sometimes, when he's drunk.

-Going on about Dad? -Right.

-Does he know? -What?

No! Are you crazy?

I can't find anything with all this stuff everywhere!

-What are you looking for? -The insurance.

We do have insurance, right?

Liv took care of all that. She had some kind of system.

-A system? -Yes, a system, with binders!

Could it be this one, marked "Contracts and insurance"?

Here it is!

Right...

No!

-It was due in September. -But Liv...

Don't blame it on Liv! You're a grown man, accept responsibility!

Stop blaming others for everything.

-Now what? -I'm all right, it's just...

There's no air in here.

Listen...

There. It's all right.

Hello?

Yes, this is Waldemar's.

Right, yes.

It was absolutely terrible.

We are open for Christmas dinners as usual.

The book. Give me the book!

Let's see, just a second.

For how many? Ten? Under what...

On Saturday? Yes, great!

We'll see you Saturday at 7.

Lovely. Thank you.

Just because the phone works doesn't mean we should...

Everything will be all right. Come on.

You start calling contractors. I'll deal with this.

And call the police about that boat while you're at it.

-Lasse can do that. -"Lasse can do that."

-Very mature. -Exactly. Call them!

Hi, Mange.

Yes, it's been forever. No, I'll be all right. No worries.

I'm done with the restaurant now.

Right, right... Listen, I have something to ask you.

You know Mischa? Right, him.

You haven't? That long?

I just had him in mind for something, and I only had his old number.

I was just wondering...

All right. Bye.

And there's nobody else? Right, the storm. Thanks.

-How's it going? -Absolutely great.

There's no contractors available until January, if we're lucky.

-Keep making calls. -Where to? Turku? Helsinki?

Maybe there's one in Stockholm.

-Where are you going? -To deal with it myself.

No, sorry. There's nobody.

-Do you always need all your people? -I'm afraid so.

Couldn't you just see if...

-Jonna? -Hi!

-When did you get to Åland? -A couple of days ago for Christmas.

-What are you doing here? -My architect firm is building here.

-So you finished the film? Or play? -A film. Yes, it's finished.

It's a bit chaotic. We need help to fix the roof.

I don't know what it is, so we need a professional. It's impossible.

Nothing is impossible.

Go here, and tell him I sent you. I'm sure he has someone to spare.

I'll phone you. Thanks! See you.

Hello!

You were right.

Yeah, the storm wreaked havoc. All kinds of debris is washing up.

Won't be cleared up until spring.

-The house is still standing. -Only just.

No partner today, I see. Isn't that dangerous?

I'll take the risk.

We got reports about a flare going off out here last night.

Supposedly around here. See anything?

Excuse me.

-Sorry? -Did you see a flare?

Yes, out on the water.

We tried to phone for help, but the lines were down.

Did you see the boat that might have fired it?

I took our boat out to see where it came from, but...

-Out on the water? -Yes.

Hang on. 3426.

The coast guard needs you to go with them.

Send me the address.

-I have to go. I'll be back. -Sure. Drive safe!

1 NEW MESSAGE

I need to see you. Can I come over?

Not right now. Things are crazy here.

Hi, Dad. I'm busy right now. Can I call you back?

-I just had a quick... -Okay, make it fast.

Dad? You haven't heard from her yet?

Could you just... Just tell...

-Never mind. -Don't worry. She seems okay.

All right, I'm glad to hear that.

-I have to go. Okay? -Sure. Bye, darling.

Don't worry, Dad. Mum is all right!

-Hi! I'm looking for Tobbe. -That's me.

Mikael Rosén recommended you and thought you might have someone free.

Doesn't matter if the Pope himself recommended us. Everyone's taken.

Everyone needs help after the storm.

You really don't have anyone at all?

Well...

You could try him. He's done here.

Him over there? Thanks.

Hello.

I'm Jonna. I heard you were done here.

-I see. Who told you that? -He did.

-Maybe you need a new job? -I'm already on my way to one.

Will you take a look? There's a lot to do, so it'll be worth your while.

Jonna, was it? I have a ferry to catch.

If you take this job, there's no need to get on a ferry.

It's a small, family-owned inn.

Sounds lovely.

But there's nobody else on the entire island.

You are our only shot. Please help us.

-You always get what you want. -I seize opportunities. Don't you?

-All right, I'll have a look. -Thanks. You can follow me.

I've cleared the tree.

I'm sorry about the insurance.

Isn't it a bit early in the day?

I've done the sums. We won't make it.

-Is there nothing left? -Not after the summer.

Liv's and my savings are gone, too.

-You'll get that money back. -That's not what I meant.

I meant the blackmail.

Who do you think that was?

-I used to think it was Konrad. -No.

If he had known, we would have noticed.

Stop drinking.

What does Liv know? Did you talk to her?

She'll come back.

When her 'inner journey' or whatever is over.

A journey like that rarely brings people back.

You never wanted to do that? Drop everything and just leave?

I guess I've done that my whole life.

What are we even fighting for?

-You were right, a lot of work. -I know.

Can you give us any kind of estimate?

Hard to say. I'll need to see all of it.

This is my brother Lasse.

-Hi there. -Wille.

-Wille has time to help us. -All right.

We'll be open for business while you work. Is that all right?

-Sure. We'll start in the back. -Great.

Listen... What about payment?

-How do you mean? -Just...

If you want to bill us, it'll only be after Christmas.

Would that be all right?

-Sure. -That's great.

-Where did you find him? -Why?

-Has he got references? -We need help, he's helping.

And we can pay him later. Why are you whining?

-I'm not whining. -So what's your problem?

-We'll start tomorrow morning. -Great!

-Are you from Åland? -No, from elsewhere.

We've got a deal. Perfect.

-I'd like to see inside. -Sure, come.

-Lasse. -It's me, Ulrika.

-Did you hear from Kim? -Don't you Skype with her every day?

She hasn't called. Did you speak to her?

No, it's been a while.

-I have a funny feeling. -I'm sure she's fine.

She called earlier, but I was too busy to pick up.

Should you find time to talk to your daughter, ask her to call me.

But...

The matchboards are rotting all over. They'll need replacing.

The water's coming right through.

How much are we talking?

Replacing the boards, a new ceiling, insulation...

Forget the insulation, how much for the ceiling?

Not very much at all. Heating the place, however...

Talk about wasting money.

Wille Ek... Never heard of him.

-Is he from around here? -No, why?

-Can we trust his assessment? -Anyone can spot a leaky ceiling.

Practically every single motchboard is rotten.

Right, so what do we do? Can we get a loan?

-Isn't it 'matchboard'? -Motchboard, matchboard, who cares?

-They're rotten anyway. -Can we get a loan?

Not without a new estimate. How do you think that would go?

Lasse is right.

So should we sell the place?

What do you think?

Yeah... I mean, why not?

Financially, that would be disastrous.

Two months ago, this was lucrative. Now it's a bankrupt business.

We can't run it, so what choice do we have?

I saw Mikael Rosén today, and we should...

No way. I'll never sell to him. Someone else, but not that prick.

Then who? Who on Åland has the money to buy a collapsing inn?

If Jonna and I want to sell to Rosén, you can't stop us.

You can't buy us out, and it's two against one. We're equal partners.

Legally, sure. But do we have equal say? I took care of the place.

Not took care, you mean. With proper upkeep we wouldn't be here.

Great. Big brother teaching his little brother about maintenance.

-Can we work this out? -I know maintenance is easier sober.

How would you know? You've never owned a house.

-At least I pay my insurance! -Why didn't I think of that?

We'll get a new insurance and give you some petrol and a match.

-I didn't torch my restaurant! -No, you had someone else do it!

Do whatever you want! Sell, stay. I don't give a shit!

-You're leaving? -He always does.

Stop it! Was that really necessary?

What?

-We're all in the same boat. -The same sinking boat.

I'll make some coffee.

Oh, what the hell...

Hello!

I didn't mean to scare you. I wanted to surprise you.

-I'm not sure we should be... -I went through the woods.

Nobody saw me.

God...

-Are you all right? I was worried. -We're fine.

But the inn was roughed up a bit.

Let me know if I can help.

Sit down.

I don't think we should meet here. Not as long as they're here.

It just feels a bit off, sneaking around like this.

They wouldn't understand. Okay?

Give it time. I'll just come to you instead.

-All right. -All right?

I liked it better when it was just the two of us.

Hello, Lasse.

-You're back, too? -That's right.

-Did you find a contractor? -We did.

So there'll be Christmas dinners again this year.

I'm not sure. I'm on my way to Stockholm. Petrol on number 2.

Back to your restaurant?

That would be tricky, seeing as someone torched it.

-55 euros. -That's right.

I'm sure you've got something else in the pipeline.

'Card declined', it says.

That must be a mistake. Try again.

Sorry.

No, I'm sorry.

I've got some cash in the car. I'll be right back.

Lasse? I took care of it.

-Right, here... -No, that's all right.

We sure would miss those dinners. It's tradition around here.

Well, maybe it's time for a change.

You know where I stand, so keep in touch. Enjoy Stockholm.

Is it over between you and Liv?

Please, ask me more simple questions.

-How many cards? -Give me one.

What was that? That.

I meant to get rid of it, I just forgot before.

-Aren't you too old for that? -Stop it, I'm not cheating.

Jonna. I'm sorry if things didn't work out the way you wanted.

I hope you didn't lose a part because you had to come back here.

I didn't.

Things went south before that.

-How many? -One, please.

Aren't you cheerful?

Shouldn't you be on a ferry?

This should cover the matchboards.

And this should cover the hot tubs.

-Where did you get this? -I robbed a gas station.

From the bank. The insurance money for the restaurant came.

-What, now? -Yes. Well... A while back.

I was going to buy my own place. You know, own a flat.

But there are lots of rooms here.

Are you serious? It's done?

-How much did you get? -Enough to get us started.

Then we'll have to rely on Jonna's brilliant ideas to turn us a profit.

They will.

-What are we playing? -Some form of poker.

-I'm winning. -Jonna's poker.

Stop it, I'm not cheating!

We need to stop for flowers, too. We've got time.

-There. There you go. -Thank you.

No, I'm looking for something a bit more... Yes, like that!

Oskar is going to freak out.

Wouldn't the hot tubs go well here?

-Sure. -That would be lovely.

Do you mean it this time?

You're not going to mess it up?

-No. -Promise me.

I promise.

-Here you go. -Thanks.

What is it?

Would you go over to Konrad's and ask him about ice-fishing spots?

Please, Oskar.

I'm not asking him. I can find my own spots.

-What is your problem? -Did you need anything else?

Is it serious?

-With Petra. -I don't know what you mean.

I saw you.

I don't know how it happened. It just did.

Do you want to be with her? Or is she just a rebound?

-I'm not sure. -Find out.

Don't give her the wrong idea.

-Moonlighting for the coast guard? -I go where I'm needed.

-What brings you here? -Nothing. I heard the chopper.

Any survivors?

They're looking, but it's unlikely. The water is too cold.

-Is it from here? -Estonia, they think.

When you came out, did you notice any flames?

Yes.

You'd better get out of the way, but I'll be by with more questions.

-Need an assistant? -No, I've got it.

-Are you done for the day? -Yes.

Could you give me a hand?

-Here. -Thanks.

Thanks.

Shit! I'm impressed. Well done.

I'd say. Now we just need some guests.

This ad will be in tomorrow's paper.

-When did you make that? -I try to be efficient.

-Sandwich? -Yes, please.

Nice. Can I have the car keys? I'm heading out.

-Off to your rebound? -She means more to me than that.

-All right. -And mind your own business.

-Good morning. -Good morning, best brother ever.

-The ad looks great. -Thanks.

I should go wake up Oskar. We've got lots to do.

I don't think he's here.

Where else would he be?

-The hot tubs. Can you get it? -Sure, best brother ever is on it.

Liv?
