Onerva... - Did you take Kari to the hayloft?

A romantic... Mrs Serafina Kuikka. How does it sound?

So he's Lundsten's son. I'm shocked.

When you were on your home visit, I thought I saw you at the bunker.

Were you there?

We don't have curtains.

We don't have any curtains!

Eat up.

Alma's chickens.

Alma treats you well.

Alma would never chop off your heads.

When you get to heaven, you'll lay golden eggs for the Lord above.

And from your perches in the clouds, you'll shit on the likes of them.

There are bad men out in that field.

You must not go into the barn.

You must not go into the barn! - Let me go, Alma!

God damn it, I didn't get to finish my porridge.

One day you're asked to wake up early and such a fuss!

Who's coming? - President Kekkonen.

The government is interested in the mental state of mad women like us.

Keep up the good spirit!

Ulla Parvilinna's coming. - Who is she?

Lundsten's boss. - I thought he was the boss.

Alright now. Let's not ruin a great morning by bickering.

I don't need it.

Good morning!

Good morning.

How was your trip? - It went well.

Excellent. It's great that you came today.

You see, there are a couple of things -

that I would like to discuss with you at length.

So lovely of you to be standing there for my sake.

So she's the boss? Maybe I should go and talk to her.

Don't get too excited.

Have you been keeping warm? - Plenty warm.

So, how are things? - Well...

Serafina has progressed wonderfully in her treatment.

As have many others.

Do we have any new arrivals? - I'm not sure we have any...

I'm new!

I'm Onerva Poikelus. - Where are you from?

Helsinki. I study sociology at the university.

A smart young lady... - Smart with a nice ass.

Shut up! - Alright, calm down.

We have a special programme for today in Director Parvilinna's honour.

Lead the way, Alaska. - Let's go.

What do you have planned?

Be more careful where you stick your fingers.

Oh shut up!

I know who you're screwing secretly. And soon Lundsten will know it too.

Where's Marjorie? - She's resting.

Do you think she knows what's going on here? She visits so rarely.

Well, what is going on here?

I'll talk to her. Doctor, Vera wants a word.

What is it?

I just want to ask about art therapy...

I think it's great that Eaglerock has a female director.

Happy to hear that.

It creates a totally different level of trust than with Lundsten.

Lundsten is completely worthy of your trust.

Yes, but I feel the best thing for me would be to get my life back.

To get back home. - That's what we all want.

Or is there something troubling you?

These home visits...

When I had my trip home, I was given strong medication -

so I'm not at all sure where I actually went.

So you don't really know -

where you were at the time?

What is it you see over there?

I mean... It would be best for me if I knew...

Onerva. We have the best treatment in the country here.

Gösta has studied in the United States.

But for the mind to heal...

It takes time. - I understand that.

But it's important for me to know... - Is there a problem?

Do we have a problem?

A problem? No.

Great. Let's continue our journey. We're almost there.

What if they kill me? - They're just ordinary people.

What if they kill me anyway? - They won't kill anyone.

This way. Come to our farm.

Alright, let's assemble in the yard to divide the tasks.

Serafina, do you want to see Alma's chickens?

Is this Kuikka's home? - Yeah, a proper estate.

Haven't you told her yet?

There's nothing to tell so don't start.

Get to work.

Special task.

What is it?

The onions.

You can't smoke here. - I won't tell if you don't.

What is it? - I was just thinking...

Are you crazy? - Are you?

Maybe. I don't know.

Do you want to see this place? - Yes.

Come.

Onerva...

Mum...

This is a safe place...

This is a safe place...

Mum...

What is it?

What?

Why don't you get any medication?

Or hypnosis?

You never have sessions with Lundsten in his office.

Lunch! - I'm starving.

Isn't it nice? - Yes.

What do you do up here?

All sorts of things.

Do you ever spend the night here? - No. Mum won't let me.

Do you always do what Mum tells you?

Usually. - Me too. Usually.

But the one time I didn't obey, I was sent to the nuthouse.

Really? - Really.

But guess what?

If you always do what everyone else tells you to, -

that will really drive you crazy.

You're right. - I knew you'd get it.

Come on, show me.

Come and see Alma's sheep. His name's Sulo.

Alright, alright... - You can stroke him.

Quiet! The doctor is speaking!

Thank you, Alaska... Head Nurse Alanen.

First of all, I'd like to take the opportunity -

to thank the Kuikka farm for hosting us so generously.

And especially for having taken our Alma under their wing.

Alma, come up here.

"Nearer my God to thee..."

Thank you, Alma. Thank you.

Please, sit down.

Alma's trial period here at the Kuikka farm has been a huge success.

Alma is doing much better now -

and she no longer exhibits any pyromaniac tendencies.

Alma is able to lend a hand with the farm work at her own pace.

It's no exaggeration to say -

that Alma's feeling much better than last autumn.

You're not supposed to be here.

I was just thirsty.

You're supposed to come eat.

I'd like to tell you something.

Or...

Actually I could show you. Will you come with me?

...It's based on modern and gentle ways of treating mental illness.

In the past, patients had to endure cold baths and straitjackets.

This is for your eyes only. You can't tell anyone else.

The successful therapy sessions have improved Alma's state so much -

that soon we can consider releasing her.

Good!

Wouldn't Alma like that, too? Home!

Alma... won't... go... home!

Kuikka!

Help!

Gösta!

Erkki!

Alma won't go home!

Kuikka, help!

Sulo will go home! Alma won't go home!

Goodbye.

Off she went.

I just wanted to know what's going on here.

Yeah.

When you were on your home visit, -

I thought I saw you at the door of the bunker.

Onerva, seriously.

Snap out of it, okay?

Play a card. That's clubs, you fucking nutter. Play diamonds.

Your turn.

Play a card.

No! That's hearts.

Play it there.

We should try.

What? - To get into the bunker. I want to see what's in there.

How? - I could try to sneak out tonight.

You can't sneak out at night. - Let's see who's on guard duty.

It's your turn. - You'll get caught.

Wait.

Daddy came home and told Alma...

Come to Vera. Sit down.

No one is going to send Alma away if Alma doesn't want them to.

Don't worry.

Let me stroke these lovely little sausages you have here.

That made Alma feel bad.

For fuck's sake...

Hey, poet girl, read us a few lines.

The ghosts in the bunker are real. - What?

"The possessed souls of the dead tuberculosis patients -

haunted the wounded at the military hospital."

"The nightly howls in the corridors drove many patients to insanity."

"Bodies disappeared from the bunker in calmer times."

Alma?

No, she said 'calmer'.

Alma's made it into the book.

Where did you get that?

From Kuikka. "Bodies taken to the bunker disappeared -

and they were never buried in consecrated ground."

"During the war a young nurse went in there with a patient..."

To fuck?

"The next morning, only one of them came out."

Give me the lighter. You can't take it.

"The possessed women licked each others' leprous loins..."

Time to go outside!

Onerva, did you hear?

Leprous loins... - Enough.

I need to use the phone.

It's private.

Mäntsälä town. Serafina Sundnäs. Thank you.

Is this the Sundnäses'?

This is Head Nurse Alanen from the sanatorium at Eaglerock.

I'm calling about Serafina.

Yes, it has been a long time...

I would like to confirm the time for Serafina's home visit...

Oh?

There's been some confusion over the timetables.

Really?

Goodbye.

Onerva.

Serafina hasn't been home in over a year.

What?

I called them. Serafina's family.

Say what? - You've been right all along.

Lights out at nine, and the doors are locked.

At that time Kuikka is...

Are you guys fucking in here?

We'll talk later. - Okay.

Calm down, Ritva.

"Calm down, Ritva."

Ritva... - You know what's an obsession?

You have one now. - I'm just worried for your safety.

You don't know everything about your new friend.

I see.

Haven't you ever wondered why she's here?

Why is she allowed to call whoever she wants?

Why is her room full of her own stuff -

and she never has therapy with Lundsten?

Why is a rich bitch like her -

stuck here with us small-town nutcases?

Maybe it's just accepted that there are problems in all social classes.

Oh, yeah, you're a communist.

Well, scrawl this across your red flag:

Vera von Clause is a murderer.

And I'm supposed to believe you? - You're not. Ask her.

Ask her who it was she killed. - I will.

Onerva.

I just don't want you to be next.

Is this place just a holiday for you? - What do you mean?

You've never said why you were sent here.

Oh, you mean my diagnosis? - For starters.

Housewife anxiety.

Officially I suffer from the same symptoms as Serafina.

Sometimes happy, sometimes a bit depressed.

So did you do something? - No.

So I'm here trying to help you get into that bunker -

so you can prove your wild theory... - Alright, alright. I'm sorry.

I know Ritva's a liar and a manipulator -

but she just told me you killed someone.

Is it true?

Of course not.

Okay.

I'm coming with you to the bunker tonight.

Really?

Where are you two going?

Tell him. - You tell him.

No, you tell him.

We have this little problem here...

As you know, Kuikka, the rooms have a lot of echo -

and we would like some time alone.

It's all the same to me, but you know that no one goes out at this time.

And the downstairs door stays locked. - Come on, Kuikka.

You didn't see anything. Just let us pass.

Go to your room!

Listen, Emil. Which is the lesser of two evils?

You letting us pass, or having to explain to your wife and Lundsten -

what games you're playing with Serafina?

I'm not playing any games. - I know that.

But who's going to believe you?

The downstairs door is locked.

You can always get through here.

Is this where you saw Serafina? - Yes, I think so.

Should I come? - You keep watch.

Take this. - Thank you.

Onerva...

Vera von Clause is a murderer...

Onerva, calm down!

Let's get out of here. Come on.

There's nothing here. It's empty. I've just imagined it all.

There's nothing here.

Don't worry. It's just your illness.

It's just my illness... Nothing to worry about.

Now let's go to bed. You need some sleep.

It's just my illness...

Nothing to worry about.

I understand you're depressed but your life's not over.

I understand...

You don't understand anything. You're not sick.

Are you praying to Jesus for salvation?

Go away.

Be quiet, you killer.

I know what you two are doing.

How did you get Kuikka to let both of you go out?

Did you go down on him? Did you suck his cock, Onerva?

Did you slurp on Kuikka's...

Do you have to ruin everything? - Guard! Guard!

God damn it!

Be quiet.

Be quiet. - Be quiet.

Be quiet!

You fucking bitch!

Can I come in? To read. - Yes.

You poor thing. You're freezing.

"...converted in the 1950s into a hospital for the mentally unstable."

They're right.

Why didn't I realise it before?

Listen to me now.

You're upset.

No one's coming to get me from this place.

I'm crazy.

But you're also Onerva.

Intelligent, wonderful Onerva.

I see my brother all the time.

And hear him.

I saw you, too.

You scared me.

Who did you kill? - Is that what's bothering you?

I was just wondering, because you're my friend.

And I've opened up to you.

Tell me the truth.

Who did you kill?

My husband.

So it's true? - Yes.

I killed my husband.

You lied to me. - Onerva, I didn't...

Alright now. Leave.

We'll soon be done here.

Just another minute.

Leave.

Hi.

Hi, Alma.

The Doctor told me you'll soon be going home.

That's wonderful. - Alma doesn't want to go home.

There are bad men there.

Show me your pretty sausages.

Oh, they're so lovely!

But Lundsten said you're going home because you're feeling better.

And Mummy and Daddy are eagerly waiting for you to come home.

Alma doesn't believe Ritva.

Ritva lies so much that her sausages pop from their casings.

Vera also said you're going home.

Vera doesn't lie.

Vera wouldn't lie to Alma. - No, she wouldn't.

Vera said if you don't want to go home...

Alma doesn't want to go.

Then you need to show the Doctor that you're not better after all.

Isn't that right?

Good. Come.

Home visits. - Yes?

I don't know where you're taking them, but it's not home!

I'm glad you came to me, -

so we can immediately find out where this rumour started...

It's not a rumour. I know.

Onerva was completely sane when she arrived.

Now she's seeing little men everywhere.

What sort of little men? - You're lying to the families!

You will be held accountable. Society has changed, you can't just...

There appears to be all manner of unsubstantiated speculation here.

What are you blathering about? - Blathering?

Do you want to stoop to the level of the other patients?

I called Serafina's family.

They haven't seen her in over a year.

They've asked to visit her, but you haven't given permission!

Listen.

Sometimes during an intensive treatment period, -

external influences on patients must be minimised so as not to disrupt...

This whole shithole is going to be shut down.

The pacifying room!

That's what this is going to lead to.

I'll tell my father everything.

Everything about your questionable activities.

Then we'll see what's speculation and what isn't.

We're about to make a breakthrough in curing -

some very complex mental disorders.

Don't you try to interfere with this in any way! You don't understand!

What's to understand? This is crystal clear.

As your attending physician, I must say, based on our meeting today, -

we'll have to review your treatment methods, Miss von Clause.

No one here is going to touch me with a ten-foot pole!

Vera told me to give this to you.

Vera said I'm not allowed to take it.

Now you're allowed. You must take it.

Vera said you have to burn something.

Something small.

Then Alma won't have to go home.

You can stay.

You have to burn something.

Something very small, Alma.

Then Lundsten will understand you're not well yet.

Something small, Alma.

Rich bitch. - Psychopath.

Onerva.

Onerva, get up.

You were right all along. I was right. - What?

This whole institution is a scam. - What are you saying?

I'm getting us out of here.

I'm getting all of us out of here. This ends now.

Vera von Clause.

Yes?

What?

Don't you even try!

Don't!

Fire alarm!

Everyone out!

What's going on? - I don't know.

Fire alarm! Everyone out!

Erkki, let's take the car!

Kuikka's house is on fire.

Where's Julia? - I don't know.

You don't know? Where's Julia?

God damn! - Is she inside?

Where's Julia? - Form a chain!

Hurry, hurry!

Get the water!

Don't go too close! Ritva! - Don't go there!

Julia!

Julia!

Are you awake? Look at me!

Hold on to me!

Daddy!

Daddy!

My darling! Everything's okay!

Alma...

Did Alma light the fire?

Alma will not go home.

Alma is not feeling better.

Alma lit the fire in the barn.

God's angels... - God damn it!

Who?

Who gave this to Alma?

Vera. - What?

Vera.

Vera told Alma that if Alma burns the barn -

Alma can stay.

Alma's delusional. She's in shock. - Was this your idea?

Kuikka.

Julia almost... - Kuikka.

Kuikka, come on!

Vera, is this your lighter or not?

It is, but... - I see.

It's all clear.

What is clear? - Erkki.

Hey, Lundsten. Seriously.

Vera helped me. Vera spoke the truth.

Alma did well.

I'm sure Vera is very proud of Alma.

Alma will stay here.
