Original subtitles

Parvilinna is Lundsten's boss. Watch where you stick your fingers.

Do you have to ruin everything?

Be quiet!

Vera von Clause is a murderer.

I'm going to shut down this entire shithole.

Based on this meeting, -

we have to reconsider your treatment, Miss von Clause.

Vera told me to give this to you. You have to burn something.

Is this lighter yours or not?

When was the last time you saw Serafina?

I heard she's supposed to be home again, but she hasn't been home.

Leave me alone. - Onerva, I called Serafina's home!

You also told me that you'd never killed anyone.

And I thought I saw Sera in the bunker, and who knows what else.

You can't think that way... - What way?

That there are mad people in a madhouse?

The faster one accepts the sickness, the faster one can recover.

Do you think we're crazy?

You can't give up now, Onerva.

I thought I could trust you.

And I thought I couldn't trust you.

Help! - Josefina!

Josefina!

Help! - Josefina!

Gösta, I've been looking for you.

I was in the middle of a session... - Come with me!

What is this?

The girls need a bit of a morale boost after that fire.

What I had in mind is a new system, based on positive rewarding.

Let's bring attention to the girl who performed the heroic deed.

Ritva? - Yes.

That's not wise. Ritva is a highly unstable individual.

That's exactly why.

To show that everyone has the opportunity to make a difference.

That's rather short-sighted. We can't reward someone who...

We need to believe that individuals are making progress.

Now that we're here to award one of you -

for her resourceful and courageous action, -

I'd like to say a few words to all of you.

First, it's lovely to see how energetic you all look.

And you know what?

You are not just numbers, but individuals.

Our aim is to rehabilitate you into society as soon as possible.

Home by Christmas? - Yes, why not? Home by Christmas!

You can't promise them that. - People need hope.

But not lies.

What Director Parvilinna means is that...

It's a good goal, in a figurative sense.

In a concrete sense, too.

I promise every one of you has the chance to go home for Christmas.

Alma isn't going home!

Calm down, Alma. You don't have to go.

Let's all give a big round of applause to Ritva for her bravery!

Hurrah hurrah!

We do wonders here! Evil becomes good...

Even though we spoke as eloquently as civil servants ever could, -

there are truths we should not forget.

There are some patients we are unable to help.

And these patients cannot be rehabilitated into society.

It's a direct threat.

Vera told me to. Vera gave me the lighter!

God damn it!

Alma will now go to sleep in her bed.

It was stolen from me.

Why would I give the lighter to Alma?

Everyone here knows she's a pyromaniac. I know it.

You have grossly abused your privileges.

You have sabotaged my important treatment.

I haven't done anything. And you can't talk to me like that!

Vera, for once I wish I could trust our special arrangement.

I can't trust you. You're a quack. - Your special arrangement...

Let's figure out who took the lighter. Then I'm out of here!

There have been questions about why you're not receiving any treatment.

I can't protect you forever.

Josefina!

Josefina!

No!

Von Clause.

Onerva!

Come!

Vera.

Wait!

Vera!

Hurry!

Vera, wait!

They're coming to get me. - Who?

The guards. - Why would they be after you?

Lundsten. I'm a threat to him.

Maybe you've misunderstood... - Repeat after me: 66 27 54.

They won't do anything to you. - Helsinki 66 27 54!

Say it! - 66...

27 54.

If I disappear...

Call that number and tell them everything.

What's going on?

Vera! - Yes, I'm coming.

What are you doing? - Let it go. 66 27 54.

Where are you taking her? - Don't worry about it, Onerva.

Serafina.

You can see your sister's hand.

Help! - Josefina!

Serafina pulls her sister out.

Josefina!

Josefina, Josefina...

That's enough for today.

Not a single patient has been released in six months.

People at the ministry are starting to ask questions...

I'd love it if people could go home for Christmas...

And you could report what you want. - This isn't about what I want.

We're creating the future of modern psychiatry here.

People always ask me what's going on here.

Let them ask! - And now I have to explain an arson!

A fire.

No one was hurt and the barn...

We will rebuild it. - And the culprit is von Clause?

Do you know how much her family donated so they could get her here?

I know exactly how much.

You bureaucrats only stare at numbers. You ought to realise...

Eaglerock's funding depends solely on numbers.

Patients in, patients out, and zero on the bottom line!

Right. And all the patients get to happily go home for Christmas.

Ulla, try to... - It's Director Parvilinna to you.

In my opinion a lot of your patients seem ready for a discharge.

What we're doing here... - You're doing.

What you're doing.

He's on the verge of such a great breakthrough.

Really?

Can you stop?

We've achieved exceptional results by manipulating the core trauma.

Not all mental illnesses are due to trauma.

True, but those patients with whom we've found and isolated -

a specific traumatic key experience...

We've succeeded in influencing their behaviour almost linearly.

Which hasn't been evident in art therapy...

Yet.

Ulla, I have access to all the US research -

and I've been able to continue and to focus the work.

Thanks to your support.

I'm about to find a method for removing these patients' traumas.

Removing.

I like to eat with the patients as often

as I can to maintain social contact.

Hi.

Onerva. - Hey, where have you been?

Falling in love.

Really?

We have to keep this secret.

It was a moment of darkness.

I thought the night would swallow me for all eternity.

But then someone came and pulled me out of the dark current.

And he wrapped me in his arms and I knew that the night had passed, -

and that I am no longer alone.

And when I turned to look to see who he was, -

I saw that he was my missing half.

I'd almost forgotten what it feels like to be happy and serene, -

without having to feel any pain.

We're planning a wedding for next summer.

Wow...

Gösta and I will have to try to keep things discrete.

Gösta? - Note: try to.

It might be a bit difficult.

Where are you taking these? Where's Vera?

Miss von Clause needed acute treatment.

Hey...

66 27 54...

66 27 54...

If I disappear, call them and tell them everything...

Lundsten. I'm a threat to him.

66 27 54...

66 27 54...

Fifty-six, sixty-six...

66 27...

54.

Is there any chance I could make a phone call?

My husband and I have our wedding anniversary today.

Oh, a summer wedding. What was it like?

Pretty normal, at the town church, two dozen guests.

What kind of dress did you wear?

Lace, with a veil and a little frill here at the collar...

Shoes? - Plain.

Did you wear earrings? - No.

Wedding night?

It was great. So can I call him?

Of course not.

What if I made you a herring sandwich?

How about I close those curtains...

And then...

I'd be nice to you...

Down there...

Like that...

Poikelus.

You just got yourself permanent laundry duty!

Why are you like this?

Why are you like that?

Do you enjoy bullying others?

Do you enjoy it?

You don't care about anyone but yourself.

Thanks, I think you're perfect too.

One day you'll have to face up to all the bad things you've done.

And you'll realise you've got nothing and no one.

You'll die alone.

I'll be the only one at your funeral, and guess what?

I'm going to piss on your coffin.

In that case I hope I die with my mouth open.

What the hell are you up to? - What do you mean?

I can get you some hand cream. - What?

Hand cream.

Hand cream for you, whisky for Lundsten's wife. I have contacts.

They're not going to do anything to Vera.

She has a rich daddy.

At worst, they just put her in isolation for a while.

It's your fault.

I'll probably be next in isolation. Alma will never be released.

And you're talking about some god damn hand cream.

You're pathetic.

Vera!

Vera!

Onerva...

Nice cottage you got here.

What kind of fish do you get this time of year?

Thinking of taking up fishing? - Yeah, I've done fishing.

How did you plan to fish?

With the tackle. - Tackle?

Just trying to have a conversation.

And you can't get that at the main building?

Not really.

Everyone there thinks I'm a lunatic, for some reason.

There's a deep spot beside the shoals out there.

You'll get perch there.

All I'm asking is for you to deliver this letter.

Sure. As long as it's in the sanatorium's mail bag.

No can do.

Then no can do.

This isn't about me anyway.

I may be delusional but my roommate isn't and she was framed.

Listen.

"Dear Mr von Clause. You don't know who I am, and you don't need to."

"The important thing is I care deeply for your daughter as you do."

"Your daughter Vera von Clause has been framed for arson."

"I'm asking you to come to Eaglerock and help her."

Toivo...

Your name means 'hope'.

I beg you...

You're not the first person to come to me with really important business.

Usually they want me to deliver a letter to the mainland.

Even more often they just want to scrounge some cigarettes or booze.

Or they owe someone or need to bribe someone...

Was there anything else?

Well, could you spare some booze then?

Hey...

Come here.

Come on. - Me?

Yeah, come.

Stand here.

My soul was a light-blue dress.

The colour of the sky.

I left it on the rocks by the sea.

And came to you, naked, a woman.

You saw that I was beautiful.

I reminded you of someone you had dreamt of.

How did that sound?

Was it good?

How did you know?

Have they told you? - Who has told me?

Well, Poikelus, for example?

Not that I mind if they have.

I was actually hoping they would tell you -

because I wouldn't dare to myself.

What are you talking about?

About you.

About us.

Or well...

I love you.

This wasn't for you. I was just rehearsing it.

I'm going to recite this to Gösta on our wedding night.

Sorry... sorry...

Stop.

This isn't the best stuff in the world.

In this godforsaken place any damn drink will do.

Are these your works?

Yes.

These are really great.

I used to have a career too.

And a life. And people.

And a child.

"Honey, it's a retreat!"

Because creativity blossoms best on an island, surrounded by crazies.

Where Dr Frankenstein -

focuses on his scientific breakthrough -

and on young women.

Tell me about it.

I wonder about all the things he's up to.

Sorry, I didn't mean to...

Thank you for being here.

You are really important to us all.

Did you know that...

The white-tailed eagle is going extinct.

One of the last mating couples lived here.

Until last autumn.

Then someone shot the female bird.

Just like that, in her nest.

Gösta had the bird stuffed.

And now it's perched there in his office.

Could you help me with something?

Call this number.

I'm sure you'd want to know how your child is doing, too.

Sorry about that thing earlier.

How is Vera?

Where is she?

Come on, tell me something. Is she okay?

You know it won't end here. I might be next.

Or Ritva.

Onerva.

Hello?

Who am I speaking with? - Von Clause.

God damn it!

There are many patients here who consider this place their home.

Yes, I understand, but this cannot be their home.

I'm sorry...

Umm...

Marjorie...

Honey, aren't we going to serve something for our guest?

Of course, sorry.

My apologies.

So? - So...

Let me tell you about the treatment plan in this US study...

What's the treatment plan for Vera von Clause?

I thought von Clause was only here to avoid a prison term.

Von Clause has developed a state of chronic anxiety, -

which can in some conditions cumulate in paranoid behaviour.

And oddly enough, her paranoia seems to be contagious.

Onerva asked me to call the von Clause family.

The patients trust me completely.

Did you call?

My husband sent my son to the mainland.

Was it because Tuure somehow disturbed your...

This is between our family... - I called.

You did?

And said what?

My husband would gladly discuss Vera's new treatment plan with you.

Come and visit any time.

Well of course I didn't call! Silly you.

Do you think I'm stupid?

You were telling me about your recent achievements.

Yes! We have a patient who as a child witnessed her sister's death.

An adorable patient. - But...

In therapy, we've identified and influenced this trauma.

And finally removed it. Permanently.

Even though the patient is no longer on medication, the trauma is gone.

She feels great and no longer has self-destructive thoughts.

So she could be discharged immediately?

Hocus-pocus, the sister is gone.

Did I understand correctly -

that this patient doesn't even remember she had a sister?

Exactly. - Not quite...

The patient thinks her sister's still alive.

This is of course a process and there are always things we can improve.

Really?

What happens when this patient goes home?

And then she realises her sister's dead?

Imagine that...

During my time at Menlo Park -

I learned the term 'collateral damage'.

Sorry, what? - Collateral damage.

It means that in important operations there can be unintended victims -

in order to achieve a more important goal.

Your family.

That's not funny at all.

What happened in this case was that -

I personally played an unnecessarily large role in removing the trauma.

This patient fell head over heels in love with him.

This patient, among others.

Among others, Gösta?

If you have nothing sensible to say, keep quiet.

Really? - Really.

Excuse me.

Yes? - I just want to say...

Excuse me.

I don't think what you're doing to Serafina is good for her.

What?

I don't understand it anymore. She thinks she's going to marry you.

Kuikka, just go home. We'll put this down to burnout.

Are you screwing those women in the bunker?

You're embarrassing yourself.

And you should be familiar with the concept of transference...

Screw you, you asshole!

I think it's time for me to retreat to the guest house.

All of us are a bit tired already.

Thank you for a lovely evening. - "Thank you for a lovely evening."

Ulla, wait.

I think it's the bottle talking, not Marjorie.

Yes, I noticed.

I believed that Marjorie would be feeling a lot better.

But apparently not.

What are you planning to do about it?

We have to change the person running art therapy.

And Marjorie hasn't been involved in any other work with the patients.

She's not a teacher, after all. I apologise and I can assure you -

this will have no impact on the patients or the treatment program.

Wait!

Vera, wait! Everything's okay!

Löfgren!

Vera!

Vera!

Vera, stop!

Stop, Vera!

No!

Vera, stop!

I didn't want to... I didn't mean to...

I made Alma burn the barn.

Vera, that's not true.

Everything's alright. You're on medication. - No, no...

Everything's okay. Look at me.

Come here.

Look.

Look.

Look, Onerva.

Look at these wings. - No.

Look.

Everything's okay. Come here.

Trust me.

Trust me.

Come here. - Onerva...

Trust me. Come here.

Everything will be fine.

It's you. - I'm here. Everything's okay.

Everything will be fine.

You're one of them? - No. Stay there!

Vera.

Vera, come here.
