Hi.

-You can't be here. -We need a permit.

You've done something wrong. Filled out the application wrongly.

We haven't done anything wrong, and you know that, Marja.

What don't you understand? I can't approve...

You're the Minister for Commerce, you can do what you want.

As I said, you can't be here.

-We need that permit now. -Not my problem.

-That can be your problem. -Are you threatening me?

Have a great day.

THICKER THAN WATER

Nice of you not to come along and help out.

How do you feel about the move?

Los Angeles...

That's not exactly Åland.

I haven't lived there for ages, but it feels good. Get away a bit.

Is there a hunt going on here?

They usually hunt on Roséns land, but now they're closer to Norrhavet.

Mikael wants to make a big thing of them soon owning the land.

Welcome to the annual hunt.

We're ready to start.

It's a great feeling for us to utilise new land this year.

Land to be acquired by Roséns when we've taken over Norrhavet.

A round of applause, maybe.

My little brother Tom is here, helping us in the hotel.

Some of you know Tom.

He is most renowned for failing in the robbery of Rökka.

But after that he had a really good career. Stockholm, London and...

And wherever he'd been.

Mikael tries to say I've been flailing around a bit.

But as we say - East, West, but home is best.

There will always be an Åland and I am happy to be back.

We're bird-shooting today.

We've taken the liberty of paying the hunting licence fee

so that we don't break any rules before hunting.

Now everyone looks trigger-happy, so let's get going.

Now look at that. I had no idea you could shoot.

Oh yeah. This is a real stockbroker's sport.

-I wonder where he is. -What?

Dad.

I don't know, I told you.

-He's confused. How should I know? -You'll have to keep an eye on him.

If he's so scatterbrained. It's tough out on an island.

Do you know what I've done recently? Keeping check on the old man!

Whilst you've been drinking cocktails on Malibu beach.

Okay, that's the way it is.

Should I thank you for me disappearing to drink cocktails?

Yes, that's about right. What we did was in your own best interests.

Send me off to boarding school?

Yes, right. You're not innocent regarding what happened either.

I'll tell you what happened:

You didn't give a damn about me, just as you didn't for mum.

-Leave mum out of this. -Why?

If you had cared when she was sick, it wouldn't have been this way.

Don't bring mum into this! Okay?

You don't have a clue! You're talking bullshit. Are you aiming at me?

What the hell are you doing?

-Shooting at birds. -There are people there!

-What? -You're shooting at us!

We're not! Mind your own bloody business.

Speed up so we can get out of here.

Home to seek comfort and help, then off out again?

I've got nowhere else to go.

No? You've got friends all over the world.

I'd like you to disappear.

To leave me alone.

A mother never disappears.

-It's 120 pages, like a bloody book. -Who wrote it?

Englund's relatives in Stockholm involved in the EU procurement.

Good job.

When the arena is completed - what a thing it'll be.

We'll take in half of Åland. We can invite the Eurovision.

-Liv came to me. -You have to see the bigger picture.

Haul up the smaller fishes.

Like who... what should I say? Robbie Williams.

-Isn't he dead? -Not Robbie Williams.

-You're thinking of Robin Williams. Hold this. The comedian.

Robbie Williams isn't dead.

Liv was very angry at the situation.

So I didn't have any reason other than to approve.

I had tickets to Robbie Williams' concert in Las Vegas.

I couldn't bring myself to go.

But Liv, just let her sweat a bit.

Work something out. Tell her the forms were incorrectly filled out

or that the handling time had been extended.

Oskar will be here soon.

I'll get the sandwiches. He'll have to sweat, too.

-Do you know him? -Yes. We've met.

-Sorry I have to take this. -Okay, see you later.

Hello?

-Hi Mikael, it's Jonna. -Jonna?

Wow. How are things with you?

It's good.

-I'm home again. -I heard that.

Do you want to meet up?

-Absolutely. Where are you? -I'm staying at an hotel.

-At the Archipelago. -I'm out in the middle of the forest.

-Can I be there in a few hours? -Yes.

-Good. -Okay. See you then. Bye.

Hi, Oskar.

Have you got anything vegetarian?

Hi there!

Good to see you again. It's been a while.

Likewise.

Sorry.

Hummus. I didn't remember you were a vegetarian.

-You want a cup of coffee? -Yes please.

-Was it you when we were in Brighton? -So you remember Brighton...

-Of course. -But not that you were a vegetarian.

Who'd believe I'd have ended up on your island?

-Sorry. Did you want milk in that? -Yes.

It's finished. I'll just... -Kim!

-Is there any milk? -Yes, on my way.

-I can take it in the meantime. -Thanks.

-Sorry. -Thank you.

-Good to see you again. -Likewise.

Shit!

-Isn't that just typical! -That didn't sound good.

No.

Sorry Maria, can you give me a lift to the town to get spares?

Of course.

Come down to the car when you're ready.

It's a long time since we sat together.

Yes, when was it? 20? -Yes.

Two years later you got married.

I've done so many stupid things.

Remember the last time we met? In Helsinki.

-Yes, I remember that. -Yes?

Marja Järvi.

Yes, we've got the EU grant.

We need to take on more employees.

We need a completely new administration for the arena build.

And... distribution of all the contracts.

-Can you... -Put it down.

Yes... Can you call me a bit later?

Yes. Yes. Okay, thanks.

Don't look at me like that.

Stop it!

Oskar!

Not now.

Did you meet?

-Did you talk? -Yes.

-Did you give her a compliment? Hit on her?

-I did what you asked me to. -Good. How did she react?

I know she likes you.

She wrote smarmy love-letters up until our wedding day.

I hit on her and she asked me to stop.

Good God, what did you do? Were you clumsy?

No.

You were clumsy. You have to get her to feel special.

It's not right. This conversation is sick.

I know that. Put those thoughts away. We have to get that permit.

I understand that, too.

Oskar!

-Hello. -Hi!

-Long time! -Yes, really. Good to see you.

You look great. Pretty. Come in.

I've haven't had time to clean.

Now, let's see.

-We've been out hunting. -A-ha? Hunting what?

Thanks. It was seabirds.

A-ha.

How nice.

-What is it? Three years ago? -At least. Three and a half maybe.

-Cheers. -Cheers.

Come along.

So... How does it feel to be back in Åland?

Shady, of course, after all that's happened, but...

Yes... It's that...

...a bit shady with the brothers. Rather, to see them all again.

I've been thinking about you.

-Does that feel strange now? -No.

But... Jonna, I just have to ask...

I was so surprised when you called.

Have your brothers asked you to talk to me? About the sale?

-Sure? -No, we've hardly traded words.

I couldn't care less about this business. I just want it over.

I simply wanted to meet you.

Okay.

I just felt like it.

How do you feel?

-Really? -I'm pregnant.

-Pregnant? -Yes.

-Who is... Or... -I don't know.

Are you going to keep it?

-Don't drink any more. -Okay.

For real. This isn't the way to do it.

You don't feel good. You're pregnant. You can't sit here drinking wine.

It's not good. Sorry that I...

Don't apologise. You have to fix this.

Jonna, listen.

-I know a guy who has... -You're so kind.

Listen, I know a guy who has a place, a retreat.

-Retreat? What happens there? -You keep your mouth shut.

You don't drink wine, no tablets, just meditate over your life.

Get yourself there. I'll drive you.

You mustn't feel this way.

-You're so kind to me. -I care about you.

-I always have. -You're so kind.

Jonna...

Jonna, no...

Not now. I'll stay...

I'll stay a while.

Then I'll drive you there. Okay?

Okay.

-Can you stay here? -Yes, I'll wait with you.

That will be fine.

Sorry.

Have you been swimming?

No, it's far too cold.

There must be any number of floating saunas here.

You're not in Finland - this is Åland.

I know, but you sauna here too?

-When did you get here? -Yesterday.

Are you going to see each other again?

Yes, We talked about joining the wedding, but we'll see.

Has something happened?

You can see whose it is?

One of the dogs had it in its mouth. Lucky I saw it first.

A-ha?

Think if they are more clothes up in the forest? If he's floated up?

Who do you mean?

Stop it, Cecilia! What's the bloody matter with you?

Someone's going to find the body pretty damn soon!

-We have to tell someone. -Who, though?

-Don't know. Dad or Oskar. -What don't you understand?

We don't talk about that.

You and I don't talk about it.

-Don't think about it. -Cecilia...

-Hi. -I called. This is Jonna.

-So you're Jonna. Welcome. -Thank you.

You look like a doctor.

-Maybe I do. -Is this a detox clinic?

No, this is a silent retreat for inner reflection.

Our catchwords are seclusion, silence and mediation.

-Oh bloody hell! -It'll be fine.

We have two packages, one for four and one for seven days.

-One week will be enough. -Seven days.

-A week. -Good. Then can I ask for your phone.

It's important to deselect all forced attention from outside.

So...

Good bye.

-Take care. -Thank you.

Good bye.

Vincent?

Take a seat.

Everyone has their passions.

Gambling is the closest I let the devil get to me and the congregation.

-Reverend August Bergman. -Vincent. Hi. How nice.

-Kim is coming. -Waldemar, yes.

You've always belonged to our congregation.

It might seem strange. Many churches are closer.

-I'm not from here. -You'll be become one, nearly. Soon.

Previously you belonged to the church that lay closest.

Here she comes. The main character.

Kim.

August Bergman.

What made you fall for each other?

His honesty.

So there's never been any bullshit or any sort of game.

That's why I love her.

-You're moving across the Atlantic? -Yes.

We're off straight after the wedding.

When you wish each other happiness ever after

we mustn't forget that we all also have faults.

Most important in a relation is not perfection but being able to say:

"I forgive you."

-It's better you drive today. -You've got your test in two weeks.

You need all the practice you can get.

-Thanks! -I didn't mean it like that.

I'm not driving today, okay?

Why does she go to the length of cancelling a film shoot

to come here and then disappear?

It's your brothers. We're throwing stones. We miss you. Call us.

-6-5 -Bloody luck.

Bloody luck.

-6-6. -That wasn't a hit.

A bounce and hit counts too. That's always been the way!

Good, then I know. We're playing with the Max-rules.

We make the rules then you win anyway. Sweet.

Life's a bit turbulent. I'm off soon.

-Max needs a dad. -I don't want to talk about that.

-Strange to see Tom here again. -Remember when I whipped him?

It was Mikael who came to me.

He said that...

...Tom had been using Jonna.

He did things with her she wasn't up for.

What...?

And you believed him?

So I did.

Tom had problems already then.

And Mikael used that.

He went behind the backs of all of us.

That's why Tom eventually left the island.

You're a good dad, Oskar.

You've always been there for them.

You've got the memory of an elephant! That was two generations ago.

I'm third generation here. You fought with mum or grandma.

You're not getting served here.

Look here. I give you 500 kronor. Give me six hotdogs.

You keep your Swedish money and I'll keep my hotdogs.

-Are you from Sund? -Tom, give it a rest.

You have to excuse him. He's been in Stockholm too long.

Five hotdogs. Please.

Hi.

Hiya. One hotdog and two pies.

I don't get this. You've got your own food to eat, eh?

There must be a pile of smelly wraps over from the hunt.

-Tom, take it easy now. -Are there any hotdogs in prison?

Are there? You're looking a bit angry.

-Can I help you with something? -Just chill a few days more.

It doesn't matter where you go.

You'll always be Ålands black sheep. Bloody clown.

-Sorry, what did you say? -No, no, no, no.

Don't do it, Tom. No. Stop!

You should keep an eye on your family instead of coming and fussing.

What are you talking about?

Look after your sister before you start mouthing off at my brother.

-Do you know where she is? -Don't you know where Jonna is?

Well, I don't know where my dad is.

-Tell me where he is and I'll say. -Tell me where the fuck Jonna is!

-You've got five seconds! -Pack it in, or I'll call the police!

Get out of here.

Do you want the police to come? Shall we call the police? Lasse!

No bloody hotdogs for you tonight.

What have you done with my dad? Tell me!

-They're not worth it. -It's the only thing worth something.

Our family! Our name, Oskar! He doesn't bloody know where she is!

-You can't drive! -Sod that. This is bloody Åland.

Call again.

No, write.

-Write that you want to meet. -There must be another way.

You know about this, Oskar.

I've seen you charm the ladies for years. What's the difference now?

-Marja has nothing to do with this. -Are you sure?

Why is taking so much time?

I know it's tough, but consider yourself for once.

Think about your future.

Your vineyard.

Cecilia's future.

-She just doesn't give us it. -Yes, if you give her what she wants.

Don't give up. Not now.

I remember an Oskar who fought for what he wanted.

Thank you very much.

It's not every day I get invited to a lunch with wine.

No?

Isn't that all that politicians do? Lunch.

Al I do is sit in committees

about how Finnish legislation affects us.

The youngest minister in parliament. That's impressive.

I thought you wanted to be an archaeologist.

I'm actually taking part in a dig in the summer, in my holidays.

I'm travelling alone to Greece.

I thought I'd go to Argentina and visit vineyards.

All on my own, too.

Maybe I should go with you instead.

I'd love that!

I've had a few contacts with the wine producer.

It's a fantastic vineyard.

They make an ice wine.

They let the grape freeze on the vine, which...

Sorry, I'm babbling.

It's seldom I get to talk with someone about wine.

You should come and visit me. Look at the vines.

Hi.

-Do you have a Jonna Waldemar here? -I'm sorry I can't tell you.

-I'm her brother. -Sorry.

Now listen here.

Our mother is on her deathbed and I can't get hold of my sister.

We need to make a final farewell. I beg you. please.

She checked out yesterday.

Thank you.

By the way...

I've tried getting hold of her husband, too.

Was he here yesterday? 1.90 tall, age around 50, dark blond.

Handsome looking.

It must have been him. He came here, then she checked out.

How did it go?

Oskar, what did she say?

How did you solve it?

She's not like us. She's not a bad person.

Did you get it done?

We ate lunch.

I told you to watch it.

You're not welcome here.

Where is Jonna?

What have you done with dad?

How the hell can you live in this house?

What?

Who's paying you for this?

You've always done everything you can to take over this fucking island.

You're the cause of all the fucking violence that's hurt our families.

What the hell are you talking about?

You've always been fucking capable of causing your own violence.

Wasn't it you that beat up my little brother?

Tom was 16 when you nearly beat him to death because he fancied Jonna.

-And who drove me to that? -Tom could've been a good person.

I believe so, but you put an end to that with Waldemar's violence.

First Tom, and now dad.

I don't know what happened to your fucking dad!

But I'll blow your head off if you don't tell me where Jonna is.

Okay...

I'll show you.

There. There she is.

I helped her to a place where she can think things over in peace and quiet.

Think over what?

You don't get it, do you?

Lasse, just disappear.

You're bloody crazy. Like all the Waldemars.

The worst thing is that you can't even take care of each other.

Get out now. You've got what you came for.

Have I?

Shoot, then.

But you won't get any money, Lasse.

Just shoot, but you'll lose your fucking hotel.

And then you'll have nothing. Nothing, Lasse.

So just shoot. Shoot.

Kim?

What is it?

Is it Vincent?

What has he done?

Everything happened so fast and it wasn't meant to...

What?

George.

What?

Suddenly he was there on the road.

-What are you saying? -It wasn't our fault.

Suddenly he was there and I...

What have you done?

I couldn't stop.

Everything went wrong, and then...

Then we had to...

What the hell have you done?

I ran him over.

But it was an accident.

And then we had to...

...dump the body in the water as I had...

I'd been drinking alcohol.

I don't know what to do, dad.

Where is he?

Svartöga.

Get up. You have to show me where he is.

Dad...

I think he was still alive.

When we dropped him in the water.

Show me!

Dad!

Dad!

Kim! This never happened.

Do you hear me? This didn't happen! We'll never mention this again!
