Our attic project... There are some problems.

Take it all down.

I may never get my money back.

You have eight weeks to return my money.

How are your kids? - Just fine.

It's time to talk. - I told you everything.

Why did you pull a gun at the party?

It was a joke.

What would you say about couples therapy?

EASY LIVING

Episode 7

Jaana Mikkonen.

I have an MBA.

I've taken care of my kids for the past few years.

There's never enough time -

but somehow you survive.

This morning I took care of Tapio's company accounts -

and billing.

"A Breakthrough"

In the afternoon I talked to my financial advisor -

about future market trends.

Then I read studies about disenfranchised families.

Then I met the managers of Save Children and Plan.

In the evening I chaired a PTA meeting.

We had many items on the agenda.

On top of all that -

I managed to get dinner on the table.

I do my best for the family.

This was a typical day.

Any day, from the morning? - Whatever you prefer.

I usually plan for the next day in the evening.

Like two days ago when we looked at the accounts.

Our debt is only four million.

We need cash. It was all we had.

Eki will fix something. - St. Petersburg was it.

What are you trying to say?

Okay, you blew it but you'll come up with something else.

It's easier to get sleep when tomorrow is all mapped out.

This morning I met my sales agent at his office.

I already tipped you off about the Russian cousin.

I told you, they won't sell to me.

What can I do about it?

I'll take anything.

Then I negotiated with a key retail representative -

about a big wholesale deal.

This is last year's model. And I'm not buying anything.

The police are after me. - Eki said you ordered these.

What will I do with them? - That's your problem.

Around noon I visited my mother -

just to make sure she was alright.

I already have a digibox. - This is a recording one.

It won't change the programs.

And I'm too tired to watch.

Should I call a doctor? - Because you're tired?

This is different. I'm nauseous and I have a headache.

It's just a virus. Look...

If you want to record, press "menu" -

and select the program...

Was she? - What?

You visited your mother. Was she alright?

Yes, she was fine.

How did your day continue? - Just fine.

Then I had lunch, went to the bank -

and ran some errands.

Timppa!

In the afternoon I had some tough sales meetings -

regarding the items I got in the morning.

Is that really all you have? - I think so.

Is this all? - Yes.

I came home around 10 pm.

An entrepreneur's days are long -

but it's the only way to feed the family.

I bought a home theater. What did you want?

Nothing....

Close the door on your way out.

You sound okay and busy.

When do you have time to be together?

Yesterday was busy. - You said it was typical.

We're often busy, but we're often together too.

When was the last time you had sex?

Let's lower the bar a little. When did you propose sex?

Or even want it?

With each other?

Is that relevant? - Don't you think so?

What does Jaana think?

This is not just about what happens under the blanket.

What else? Judging by what I've heard, you're fine.

Individually. But you came here together.

Why did you come here?

Did they say what kind of tumor?

Has it spread or can she have surgery?

I don't know, I just heard. She needs more tests.

Did she sound hopeful?

Mom? - The doctor!

She said her thing and left.

How did she say it? - Nobody knows yet.

You and Timppa should come here together.

Sure. - Listen.

I'm hoping for the best, but like you said -

nobody knows yet and if things go bad -

you don't know how long she has.

She has been worried about you and Timppa for years.

She was so happy about this renovation project.

She didn't hear how it ended. - Don't tell her.

You were always like that.

Always fighting about something stupid.

Can't you think about anyone else for a change?

I'm thinking about my family.

You have a thriving business and you're rolling in money.

Look at mother. She's had some real problems.

What problems could you possibly have?

Thank you.

Maire told me she'd like to be chairman again.

What did you say? - I was honest.

I think you've done an excellent job.

We're doing something that counts, helping families.

It will be noticed.

Bake sales will never get us to official receptions. - Right.

Although that's not why we're doing this. - No.

I was just wondering how to sell Maire the idea -

so that she would develop an interest in it.

Is her comeback okay?

There's so much to do now. Is she up to it?

We must help her. Maire would never admit -

how important the association is to her.

It wouldn't be a great loss to you.

You have so much else in your life.

Right.

Did you notice that Jari bought a home theater?

Where does he get money? - He plays poker.

Jari? I played with him once. He sucks at card games.

That's what he told me. Net poker.

This doesn't add up.

Why? He's successful at something for once.

I know my son. - And I don't?

Ask him! - I'm just wondering where he gets money.

Can't you take it that he's successful when you're not?

Why don't you just get a divorce?

That's a good question.

Jaana gets angry if she wants to avoid an issue.

I just happened to disagree.

You said I envy my son. - Do you?

Of course not. I'm glad if he's good at net poker -

although I don't condone gambling.

Why would I envy Jari if he makes pocket money?

I support the family. - You do compare earnings.

I'm saying he's no threat to me.

Because it's just pocket money. - Because he's my son.

You used the word "threat". Where did that come from?

This is going all wrong... - I find this very interesting.

This is not why we came here. - Why did you come here?

To get help for Jaana. She's the one with problems.

Do you often feel that others cause all your problems?

What I said about Jaana is true. - I believe that.

But healthy individuals may react to a sick unit.

What? - That's so true.

I've read about it. I'm reacting.

Our time's up, but Tapio...

If you want to save your relationship -

you have to dig deeper, do some soul searching.

Jari Mikkonen? - Yes?

Lari Tuomela, hi. Your sister called me.

Probably by accident. She was using your phone.

So? - The one we gave you before the gig in April.

If you get up now I'll shoot you in the knee.

You give parties, buy cars. How's the flat-screen TV?

You seem to have a lot of money.

Did it fall into your lap or did Santa bring it?

Can we... - No. Bring me the money, with interest.

I'll call you.

Hi, Liisa.

That's great.

The day after tomorrow? Yeah, I think I can make it.

Yeah, fine. Bye.

This is what it will be like.

One day when you come home -

there'll be a strange man in your bed.

I'm not a stranger anymore. I was just demonstrating -

what happens when you neglect your spouse.

How does this make you feel?

What's wrong? - Tuomela.

I don't know any Tuomela.

Okay. The guy we did this thing with in the spring...

The music demo. - Yes.

I don't mean my band. - Thanks, I get it.

He knows who I am. - I didn't tell him.

It doesn't matter how. He wants me to return all -

music sheets. - Return?

I don't have them. He doesn't believe that.

What can I do? He's nuts.

Jari, why come to me?

You know him.

First of all, what can I do from here?

Second, even if I were free -

I'm just an honest Finnish businessman.

I know nothing about bands.

Be careful.

Tapio won't come here again. The housecall was too much.

What should I do? I can't do couples therapy alone.

Let's not cling to terms if you benefit from this.

If the point is to solve problems -

wouldn't it be good to have the problem here?

Don't you find it odd that you blame Tapio -

and he blames everyone else for his problems?

That's what you said! - You're doing the same.

It's not the same. - Why not?

Because I'm right and he's wrong. - Is that so?

He doesn't appreciate anything I do.

Okay, I don't get paid for what I do -

but it doesn't make it any less valuable.

I meet important people, even city managers.

He gives me money, but everything else is too much.

He's busy, there's work. Always an excuse.

Even for not coming here. "Mother has cancer."

Excuse me? - His mother has cancer.

They're planning a party for her homecoming.

And of course it has to be right now. Granted, it's sad.

I hope she beats it and I'll go there when I can -

but she's not dying this very second.

Why does he have to be there?

He's not a real doctor, but he understands women.

Liisa loved him. - I suggested him to Jaana.

Is the barbecue hot? - Not just yet, honey.

Hurry up, mom and Timppa are soon here.

I told you I don't want to see Timppa.

What was I supposed to say? - That I don't want to see him.

To mother! I don't care if you fight on your own -

but mom was just released from hospital -

and you'll say hi to her and to your brother.

With a goddam smile.

Mom! Welcome home!

Hi. Was there much traffic? - Not much.

What's this? - Did you inspect my room again?

I changed your sheets and found this.

Who are you going to kill with this?

Where did you get it? - Relax, it's just a toy.

You can't shoot with it.

Aren't you a bit too old for toy guns?

Would a real one be better? - What do you need it for?

I don't know. Nothing. It's not mine.

Whose is it? - I found it in the attic.

I don't know. Maybe dad's.

Five minutes.

If mom died now, we'd probably sell the house.

I hope for the best and hate to think of anything else but...

It's good to be realistic.

Have you paid the mortgage?

Why do you ask? - We inherit the house.

I can't afford to buy you out. - Why bring it up now?

So you still have debts. How much? - A little.

The new law eliminates all recession era debts.

Not automatically. - Yes! Call and ask them.

I've been humiliated in too many offices.

But if there's more... - Let's not go ahead of things.

Don't bring it up here.

Is it true? - What?

Could your debts be eliminated?

I didn't even try to pay it.

I've done many shady things in the past 15 years.

Right.

But if it's true, I could make a fresh start.

Why? We're fine.

Yeah...

I need more cash. I'm going shopping tomorrow.

Remind me in the morning.

Why is this here? - What?

The gun. - I found it under Jari's pillow today.

What? - It's scary how good they are.

I was shook up before Jari said it's a copy.

He found it in the attic. Where did you get it?

I can't remember.

You're not dumb. You know this is not a toy.

I didn't want mom to worry.

Goddammit, Jari. What should I do with you?

What were you going to do with this? - What were you?

It's Eki's. I forgot I had it.

This is not a game. - I know.

You're big enough to talk man to man.

Please don't think it's great what I do for a living.

Why do you do it then? - Because we have to eat.

I try to support my family.

I think it's great.

Don't... Don't make the same mistakes I did.

You seem absent-minded. Has something happened?

Why didn't he tell me? Or wasn't I listening?

Whose fault is it when there is no trust?

What do you think?

Our financial situation is not as good as Tapio said.

We have an old debt. - Is it a big one?

So big that we learnt to live with it.

For fifteen years. - And how much longer?

It's really Tapio's debt.

If you divorced him, you'd get rid of the debt too.

Is that your advice? - I was just stating a fact.

We vowed to cope with it together and have done so.

Because you trusted each other.

Then suddenly you realize that all the efforts...

Do they lead to anything?

I haven't asked him.

Perhaps he just found a new stash.

What would you do if you had no debts?

The debt is not the issue. - What would you do?

The same as before. - Are you sure?

I'm busy with meetings. I meet important people.

You struggle to make people see how important you are.

Or that nobody would see how little you value yourself.

What? - Jaana... You can't live in a waiting room.

You've waited 15 years and you're about to wake up.

Don't hide from it.

You're not happy.

You have to do something about it and soon.

Or you will go crazy.

What should I do?

You've had 15 years to figure out what you really want.

And you still don't know.

But change starts from understanding the problem -

and I think today was a minor breakthrough.

I guess so.

Liisa asked who will visit mom tomorrow.

When's your next therapy session?

I fired him.

He was an idiot.

Jari Mikkonen. - You haven't called. Where's my money?

It's not that easy. - I'm sure you value your health.

You have till tomorrow. - I'll get it.

Should you go to the hospital if you're so sick?

Calm down, I'll be there in an hour. Bye.

Mom needs juice. - Can't she go to the store?

She hates being alone.

Are you gonna rush there every time she calls?

What else? Of course I'll go.

How about work? - Let's see how this pans out.

I'll work out a system with Liisa.

You're getting company.

Good morning. - Hello.

Pia said you've recovered quickly from the operation.

We haven't talked since. - It's been only six months.

Yeah, but you look good. Would you like coffee?

Did Pia tell you I want back to the association? - Yes.

As chairman.

We've had some big changes. - I heard.

It will be gruesome to undo all that -

but I just didn't want it to come as a surprise.

Have some coffee.

You're more than welcome to be chairman again.

What's going on?

Do you think there's another scam?

Ask the others. Finances are okay, we're more powerful.

Even the city managers listen to us.

You don't believe I will step down without a fight.

It would not be the Jaana I know.

I like the new me better.

Excuse me? - I've been through a lot.

A week ago my reaction would've been different -

but I realize now that...

I must find a totally new direction in life.

Have you found faith?

That's not the direction I meant.

Yeah...

I'd better get going.

Where will you walk? - Where mother wants.

One more thing... - Forget it unless you have my money.

I've heard your explanations.

I know what Liisa talked to you about the estate.

It's no big deal to me, but Liisa needs to know.

What did you say to her? - Nothing much.

Does she know about your debts? - What's it to you?

I know you haven't taken care of it.

Liisa just wants to keep this house in the family.

You've had 15 years to take care of it.

Don't be so selfish.

Me?

Talk to Liisa.

A VILLAGE IN THE CITY Annual urban event

Jaana Mikkonen from Aid to Disenfranchised Families.

We met last week.

Right, I remember...

What was the project?

Never mind. I just said hello, since I saw you.

You're hard to miss. - What do you mean?

Sorry, I'm babbling.

I'm going to lunch. Would you join me?

Why not?

Okay.

Have you thought who gets the house when I die? - No.

You should.

Let's not talk about that now.

I can decide what I talk about and when.

It would be nice to know everything is in order.

I wouldn't have to worry at my high age -

if you'll fight over that too.

Which brings to mind, can't you make peace with Timppa?

We're not fighting. - Do you take me for an idiot?

I know you. What is it this time?

Money. - Always about money!

Is it worth fighting over petty cash?

And what's it to you?

Hi, mom! How are you?

I'll go lie down.

The new law took effect in March this year.

All recession era debts will be pardoned.

What does "all" mean? - Older than 15 years.

Isn't it almost 15 years since the bankruptcy?

What are the terms? - None. Anyone can apply, now.

I already tried once. - What do you lose by asking?

How big is your debt? - None of your business.

Fine, at least I'm trying. - You don't want to know.

Would you tell me if I wanted to know?

"The simplified process is like an automatic pardon."

Do you understand? - You didn't even try to pay it.

It was mentioned here...

"The reasons for the debt will not be examined -

and the recipient's later income will not be monitored."

Did you ask anyone or just consult Liisa and the net?

I thought you'd be thrilled. - You've had plans before.

It's different. This is a law! And it's on our side.

We could make a fresh start.

More? All the way...

I need a phone. - You can make phone calls tomorrow.

One they don't listen to. Now.

Go on!

Hi. Hop in. - Why?

Just hop in.

Need anything else? - No.

Close the door.
