Misha!

Drowned, maybe a week ago. Hard to tell in the cold water.

-Any burns on the body? -No, why?

We found a burnt-out boat.

-And you think there's a connection? -We don't know.

If there is, there were others on the boat.

Here's to Kim!

-Did you work when you were away? -No, Fredrik had lots of money.

-Is she back? -We'll talk tomorrow. I'll come by.

5,000 euro. I hope there won't be any other unforeseen expenses.

You can be trusted, Lasse. I can tell.

What's the great urgency?

Your father...

My brother. I want the truth from you lot.

Dad was an alcoholic. He must have fallen in.

Rotten luck he had, to fall straight into a plastic sack.

Anna-Lisa killed him. And I know that you took care of his body!

You dug it up last summer!

Konrad... He needs to go.

Here... Take this and leave us alone. There's 50,000 euros there.

And you shut your trap now. I don't want to hear a word from you.

Look what I found.

She won't mind us borrowing it.

-Who? -Cecilia. It belongs to her.

-Aren't you going to eat? -I'm not hungry.

THICKER THAN WATER

-Hi. -Hi.

-Been out for a run? -Yes.

You have to do the afternoon shift. Lasse has to run some errands.

Sure, I'll do it.

-Hi. -Hi.

Last summer you could barely get her to cut up an onion.

-She will follow in dad's footsteps. -I hope not.

-She'll go further. -Shopping list.

Catch!

Any more snow and we'll have to rent a snowplough.

What?

Konrad won't bother us again.

-How do you know? -I just do.

Aren't you cold?

This is where I stood when I told you I was pregnant with Cecilia.

-This very spot. -Yes.

-I remember. -I was so nervous.

I thought you'd ask me to get rid of it.

-That you'd say we were too young. -We weren't.

We were.

But we managed.

-She's so lovely. -She's perfect.

Cecilia is the best thing that's ever happened to me.

Whatever happens, I'll always love you for that.

Hiya. Eskil, isn't it?

Hi.

What are you doing here? Missed the bus?

I tried to phone mum, but my battery is flat.

The next bus is in an hour.

-Get in, I'll take you home. -You don't know the way.

You'll have to show me.

Mum says I shouldn't go with strangers.

That's great.

But we're nearly friends. I've talked to your mum lots of times.

Jump in!

Give me your backpack.

Doing anything fun at school?

-Space. -I see. Do you like it?

Did you know that for each grain of sand on Earth

there are at least 10,000 stars in the universe?

That many?

There's a crater on Mercury called Dostoevsky.

-Like the Russian writer? -He wrote "Crime and Punishment".

Don't tell me you've read it?

I've got one.

Move every other year or stay in Åland for the rest of your life?

That's not exactly difficult. More beetroot salad, please.

What if you find your favourite place and have to move?

At least you'll have been there for two years.

Experienced a bit more than am-dram in Åland.

In Vietnam we had a rule never to stay anywhere longer than a week.

-Sounds great. -Yes, for a while.

-Fredrik is back home. -What makes you think that?

The lights are on in Mildred's house.

-Are you going over? -I don't know.

You have to talk to him.

One more: Be murdered with a frozen turd or choke between two buttocks?

You're sick.

Oh, here's Eskil now. Thanks, bye.

Hello, sweetie. What happened to you?

He missed the bus so I gave him a lift. Hope that's okay.

-Nice of you. -No problem. Here's his backpack.

Thanks.

-Would you like some coffee? -Yes, please.

-Did you bake? -No, Eskil did.

Tell me he hasn't read Dostoevsky.

He has. We read him every night.

-Do you live alone? -Yes.

-Are you divorced or separated? -Widowed.

-Sorry. -It's okay.

It was a long time ago.

Do you ever get over it?

His death, yes.

-That I married him, never. -The phone is ringing, mum.

Excuse me. Laura speaking.

-One moment. -Are you good at this?

-Is it one of those rubric cubes? -A Rubik's Cube.

Right, that's it.

Each side has to be the same colour. It's hard.

I suppose there's a system.

What are you looking at?

I was thinking of the system. Let's have a look.

You start with one side.

Try the red first.

-Look, mum. -Wow, that's great.

I'd better get going.

Why don't you come to dinner some time?

-By way of thanks for the lift. -Sure.

-See you. -Bye.

What's up?

I thought I saw something, but it must have been a deer.

Where's that contract? I want to get going. I've given you the money.

-There's a bit of a problem... -What kind of a problem?

Lasse...

What's going on? I feel like I'm being left out.

Oskar is so unstable. One minute he's totally distracted...

I think he feels unsure of you. He was so upset when you were gone.

What should I do?

Just wait to be forgiven?

-He'll get there. -Do you think so?

I know.

-What? -You're different somehow.

-How so? -You came here and cared for Oskar.

You've invested - not just the money but your time and interest.

-Was that so unthinkable? -Yes, it was.

But I was wrong.

I was wrong about you.

Sorry about this, but you tried to buy a boat with counterfeit money.

-How do you know it's counterfeit? -You can tell by the serial numbers.

They're identical on all the notes.

Where did you get it, Konrad?

I had no idea it was counterfeit.

How could I know? I've never seen it before.

-Who gave it to you? -No one.

You got it somewhere. We're talking about 50,000 euros.

You do know it's a criminal offence?

I found it.

-Where? -On the ice.

Down by the old pier. It was just lying there, so I took it.

-So it was here? -Yes, it was the dog that found it.

-So the money was on the ice? -Yes.

They were wrapped up... in a plastic bag.

-Is there any more? -Hell, no.

I was going to spend it all.

Finally I could get a decent boat.

It's against the law to keep money you find. You know that.

Don't go anywhere. Don't leave Åland until the investigation is over.

-Okay? -Okay.

Welcome.

Oskar!

Where the hell is your brother? I need to see him.

Go to the office.

-What do you want? -The police came.

-You tricked me, you bastard! -What do you mean?

Were you in on it? I can't imagine that Jonna was.

-In on what? -I'm sure there's a diagnosis for it.

-We're done with each other. -It's counterfeit money.

50,000 in counterfeit fucking money!

-What money? -Hang on.

-What did you tell the police? -They wanted to know where I got it.

I told them I found it on the ice.

-I can easily change that story... -What's this about?

So you weren't in on it?

Lasse gave me 50,000 euros to shut up.

But the money was as fake as him. Dishonesty, that's your diagnosis.

-What will you do? -I'll go now.

But I'll be back, count on that. And then I'll be calling the shots.

Then I want the truth.

Or I'll tell the police everything I know.

And your reputation won't be the only thing at stake.

There never was any insurance money, was there?

It was from the boat.

You found the money on the burning boat.

I was only trying to spare you, Oskar. I did it for you.

I didn't know it was fake money!

Are you going to say anything?

-Well, are you? -I found a bag with money.

-Then I used it. What's unclear? -Why did you lie to us?

-I didn't want you two mixed up. -But now we are.

It's criminal money.

-Someone will want it back. -No.

There was no one on the boat, he must have drowned.

The police suspect foul play.

We've paid for stuff with fake money. They'll trace it right back to us.

-I didn't know it was fake. -That's irrelevant!

-Is there any money left? -No.

So Konrad is our biggest problem.

-We'll get done for this. -Not if Konrad keeps quiet.

But Wille...

The advance he got.

-Best if you ask for it back, Jonna. -No way.

-Jonna, please. -No!

We have a packed restaurant out there.

-There's only me and Kim. -I'm coming.

-Oskar, are you coming? -In a minute.

Hi...

I have to tell you something...

-Why the hell do you want it back? -Can we talk later?

No, now. Do you know how expensive the materials are?

-It's counterfeit. -What is?

-The money. -What the hell are you up to?

-I can't explain now. -That's 5,000 euros.

Come and see me tonight and we'll talk.

Please?

Okay.

Thanks.

Oskar!

Where the hell are you going?

-Please tell me what you're doing. -Oskar!

What? What is it, my dear brother?

What the hell is this?

-How much is in there? How much? -400,000 euros.

-It was, before... -You promised.

You solemnly swore, Lasse! You bloody idiot!

What are you mixed up in?

I was asked to take care of the bag. I didn't know what was in it.

And when you found out? Didn't you think you should tell us?

-I didn't want to get you mixed up... -Very kind.

I did it for your sake, okay?

Did you lie about the amount for our sake, too?

This bloody money has to go, Lasse!

-It's a whole lot of money... -It's worthless! Where is it from?

-The boat. -Come on, where did you get it?

I was trying to help you.

If this is what you call helping, we don't want it!

Bloody idiot.

-Is the other thing in the bag yours? -You don't think...

-Never mind. -Of course it's not mine!

Well look at this.

This is where you are!

Soon you'll be stuffing your faces and drinking aquavit.

Enjoying all the Christmas food!

Did you know my brother Mauritz used to live here?

He repaired the whole bloody thing.

But then one night he just disappeared. He disappeared.

Mauritz... No one saw him or knows where he got to.

There's a rumour his wife did him in.

They'll burn in hell for what they've done. All of them!

You can hear him coming. Mauritz.

-Have you heard him... -Your table is ready.

-Liv! -Why are you bothering the guests?

Why are you here? You're better than them.

You're smart, you don't need them. Just leave!

Go home now. We can talk tomorrow.

You're not infected by their venom yet.

Hi.

-I have to ask you to leave. -Or what?

-Will you send Oskar after me? -Or I'll call the police.

Go ahead, call the police!

Great, then I can tell them...

I'm trying to tell your guests who lives here, where they're eating!

-Come on. -Let go of me!

You bloody coward!

That cowardice - you have it from your mother!

She was exactly the same.

She went behind Mauritz's back all the time.

You'd better calm down.

You'll get the truth, but leave the guests alone.

-If you don't... -Think you can scare me?

-You can't hurt me! -Hey, guys, that's enough now.

Hi Konrad. Just calm down, my friend.

-How's it going? -Hello, Jonna.

-Have you had a few drinks, maybe? -Oh yes...

Let's go in here so you can sit down and have a rest.

-Everything okay? -Not at all.

What's with Konrad?

-He's always been a bit crazy. -Not like this, he hasn't.

-Did you argue while I was away? -No.

No?

I can walk by myself! You should watch that witch's spawn instead.

Go home now, Konrad. Don't go away.

-What did he say? -What?

I mean... What's happened?

Konrad's had a bit too much to drink and was scaring your guests.

-It's all good now. -All right.

I wanted to ask you if you'd received any fake notes?

-No, why would we? -We have some fake notes circulating.

No, not as far as I'm aware.

Good to hear.

-Bye, then. -Bye.

Hey, Lasse...

Do you like mushrooms? You're not allergic?

No. Is that possible?

I don't know. My son says so.

-Okay, speak soon. -See you.

-What's with the cop? -Nothing.

I understand you're angry.

You promised me there wouldn't be any trouble this time.

Remember?

But you keep lying and lying. And do you know what?

I get why Konrad is fed up with the lying, because so am I.

If you won't tell him, I will.

-Do you think Konrad will understand? -That doesn't matter anymore.

Oskar can't be tried for it, it was too long ago.

What will Liv and Cecilia say? Do you even care?

They'll forgive him.

-Dad was his brother. -He nearly killed both me and Oskar.

-He had good qualities, too. -That only you saw.

It's always been so bloody easy for you.

What would my life have been like if it had been me?

Maybe then I'd also be able to understand and forgive.

I know it was shit for you, Lasse.

I know.

-But it was a long time ago. -It doesn't go away.

It never goes away.

No...

But how long can you go on blaming all your mistakes on a bad childhood?

-Did you say anything? -Shit, you scared me!

-About what? -About what happened between us.

He knows we kissed.

But that's all I've told him.

Do you know what it feels like to be away for long time,

have new and different experiences, but when you return,

everyone has changed, everyone except you?

I know too well.

That's how I felt when I came back here.

You, Oskar and Jonna. Everyone had found their place.

-Everyone except me. -It's not like that any more.

Maybe it hasn't changed as much as you think.

-Hasn't it? -No, as you can see...

I walk around tidying, drinking left-over wine...

And I'm waiting for your shift to end.

It's just like 20 years ago. Nothing ever changes.

Like some feelings won't go away just because you want them to.

-Good night. -Night.

-Hi. -Hi.

The door was open. I can come back later.

No, it's fine.

-What's happened? -The money was Lasse's.

We didn't know it was fake.

-Never mind that. Why are you sad? -I'm not.

-I can tell that you are. -Can we stick to the subject, please?

You work for me, that's it. My life is none of your business.

Okay.

I'm sorry.

I don't know what I'm doing. I want you.

What did you say?

I want you.

Say it again.

"It does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth."

"It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres."

"Love never fails."

I need your help, mum.

You always knew what to do. You had all the answers.

You know what you have to do, Oskar.

You know it.

It's you or him.

-What are you doing? -Sorting this out.

What?

-Out of my way. -Take it easy.

What's going on?

You don't get it. He'll never give up.

The old bastard thinks he can push us around as he likes.

-Calm down. -Jonna, wait!

-Sit down! -Let go.

Sit the fuck down!

It's him or me.

What the hell's got into you? Calm down!

Okay?

-Are you all right? -I'm fine.

Good.

Oskar!

-Hi. -Hi.

-How's the fishing going? -There's no bad fishing.

Only a bad catch.

-Remember who said that? -Yes.

It's only when I'm with you that I can say I miss him.

Thanks.

What was the name of the dog that bit me when I was little?

-Brutus. -That's it, Brutus.

-I had to put the poor thing down. -I remember.

I cried so much.

-I thought it was my fault. -Was it heck.

The dog wasn't right. Too many beatings by the old owner.

Maybe the old owner should've been put down.

You know he beat her.

If you mean your mother, she cheated on him and humiliated him.

What did my brothers do to deserve such beatings?

Your brothers weren't exactly angels. It was hard to live with Anna-Lisa.

-He didn't even get a funeral. -He's in your bloody shed now.

-How is that dignified? -You know why.

I want to know the truth. Do you understand that?

-I do understand that. -So how did it happen?

-He wasn't murdered. -So what happened?

Jonna...

-It was an accident. -An accident?

Oskar was only 16, and he was trying to protect mum.

Oskar!

He was a child.

You have to forgive him, he was only a child!

-Konrad, for fuck's... -Stay there!

You have to forgive him! He was trying to protect mum!

Go ahead and shoot!

He was only a child!

Lasse...

-Let go... -Jonna!

Drop it!

Jonna!

-Are you okay? -Help him! Help him!

Help him, Oskar! Let go of me!

Help him!
