All language subtitles for Mosku.2003.Finnish-cd1

Aleksi, come and help your sister!

Daddy, take me to the woods
with you

Don't take him. He's too little.
He has to help out with his sister

That's women's work.
l want to go hunting

Let the boy go.
The forest runs in his veins

Get some clothes, we'll spend
the night in the lean-to

A handsome grouse.
-That it is

lt's a good life here in the woods

You're your own lord and master.
With no one bossing you around

The 1910s

My back is killing me.
Let's saw higher up

What if they'll complain?
-l reckon they won't

Good Morning.
-Good Morning

Hell, this is no good.
lt's a waste of a tree

l'll have to reduce your pay

There's no need for that

lf you're not happy with the rules,
go work somewhere else

To hell with the company rules!

That damned posse! A pay cut
for a few measly inches

The workers pay dearly
for the capitalists' profits

Sounds like you've been going to
those agitators' meetings in town

They're telling the truth.
Bosses don't care about our health

Look at me,
with this darned lumbago

And that one's gonna die
of tuberculosis soon

No one's forcing us to be here

Who the hell is that?
ls he sneering at us?

He's Hihnavaara's son.
They call him Mosku

God damned hell!
My ankle!

ls it badly hurt? -Sprained.
Damn this life on a log site!

Alright if l sit here?
-Go ahead

How's your ankle, Kuisma?
-Getting better

You could have been
hurt even worse

Vodka!
Should we buy some?

Yeah, let's get some

Tomorrow's a working day.
-lt's for medicinal purposes

How much is three bottles?
-Five, five

Aapo, pay him

l won!

They'd just lose it on cards.
lt's safe with me

What the hell did that Russkie
sell us? My head's spinning

Mine too.
Like l was about to die

You call this food? A man can't
keep going on reindeer piss!

Go wash your mouth with soap.
lt's not my fault there's no meat

ls this your idea of a job site?

The food is inedible and thieves
keep looting the men's beds

Aapo and l got robbed last night.
-You have hangovers

You got drunk and lost your money.
There are no thieves here

The meat delivery got stalled.
We'll sort out the situation soon

Have you seen the storekeeper?
-Nope

Gone out drinking again

Mosku, can you read and count?
- l reckon l can

Follow me.
You got the storekeeper's job

And Henteri's coming with us

So they made him a storekeeper?
Like he could handle the job

l wonder if he even knows
how to write

Tobacco... tea...
barley... coffee

l'll mind the books outside while
you hand me the goods from inside

We're not letting the boys in to
steal. Understood?

Understood

Next!

l'll have some coffee and tobacco.
-Coffee and tobacco

He's putting on airs.
-He sure is

Next!

Have any booze to sell?
-There's no booze

So give me some coffee
and tobacco then

Cash only.
You have too many card debts

Don't mess with me.
-What's stopping me?

Go back to the shore.
Next!

He's rotten to the bone.
Cheating workers like no one can

Take it easy, l'll get rid of him

Aapo, let's get out of here!
-Fine

Next!

Mosku, help! Help!

Put the ax away and weigh
the anchor or l'll slice his neck!

To the raft, uickly!

Damned, damned, hell!

Don't. The log floaters might hear it
and come to the rescue

Next time l'll skin
you like a goose

l put in a little bonus
for good work

So what do you say,
shall we continue our partnership?

Why not, if we can agree
on the pay

l think we can.
So let's drink to that

Good thing we made it to Matti's
house before dark. It's a long haul -

from here to Korvanen.
-And we're all weary of walking

The brand on these
reindeer is not Matti's

Look who's here.
With a gun and all

ls the master of the house home?
-Yes, he is

ls he inside?
-He's right here

This is Matti's house.
-lt was, before he sold it to me

He sold it to you, eh?

Aapo, gimme the bottle. My mouth
is dry from all that walking

We're not spending the night with
that lackey for the logging bosses

Where did he get money for a house?
He's only got a few reindeer

Accordionist, let's hear some music!

Have a drink first
to warm up your fingers

Please, just a little flour.
The kids are ill and hungry

No more credit for you. Your men
are out in the yard drinking

lf they went to work,
there'd be food for the kids too

Once the revolution begins
you'll lose all your goods!

What a load of nonsense.
So what can l do for you, Mosku?

l have a couple of tubs of fish in
the boat. Would you buy some?

Well, they're always needed.
What do you want for them?

l need some coffee, bread and
salt. -lt's a deal

Let's go to the parlor

The master sent me for some
coffee, tobacco and matches

She's a pretty girl, that Mari.
She'd make you a fine woman

Would you buy some furs?
l have fox furs at home

Yeah, well, l usually keep some
in store-

but they've been going cheap lately
because of the big war in Europe

You should try selling them
to Russia, Murmansk perhaps

You'll get a better price there

Pekka!

Can you help Mosku carry
the fish tubs into the cellar?

Sure

Look at him. Eating like a pig
while our children are starving

Drink with us workers, Mosku!
-He's the bosses' henchman

Give me a drink

l hear they're rallying troops in town.
There'll be an uprising, no doubt

Should we join the troops in town?
-Why bother?

Politics will just
get you in trouble

ls it Mitri? What brings you to
the Finnish side of the border?

Who's asking?
-Mosku

lt's a free country
for anyone to walk through

They're not Finnish reindeer
you're leading there?

These are my own reindeer

Drop by for tea with me
if you cross to the Russian side

Greetings, Tovaris Mosku

Keep your hand off the trigger.
Give me the gun, butt first

Looks like our storekeeper has
set out on a trading expedition

You shouldn't wander in the woods
alone, you might run into a bear

Nice pants. Take them off

Some nerve you had,
hitting me on the head with an ax

You know what a headache
feels like, Mosku?

You'll know soon enough

A tough goose will soften nicely
on a cold perch

Mosku!
Nice fur coat and nice pants!

Thanks for the merchandise.
The furs will sell well in Russia

Harasho, Mosku!

Who did this to you?

Give me a cigarette

Civil war has started, and you're
running butt-naked in the wild

Let's go inside

The Reds' headuarters have
fallen in Tampere

The Red Guards in Oulu and Kemi
further north have been disarmed

ln Tornio the Reds were beaten in
battle and their leaders executed

But hundreds of Reds managed to
escape to the eastern borderlands-

and now these gangs of vengeful
bandits are here to pester us

The civil guard has managed to
maintain order in our village

Although we have no resources for
military operations, we need to act

Reindeer owners in the borderlands
must be protected from the bandits

The Kuronen Brothers went looking
for lost herds around calving time-

and still have not returned

l wouldn't cross the border now,
what with the shooting and all

The rebels may join forces with
the local bandits

The ones l hear Mosku has had
personal experience of

l can confirm

l found Mosku stripped to his
long johns, running in the wild

He had run into Rupip��'s gang.
His head was bruised and battered

You had to tell everyone that?

l suggest we send out troops
to look for the stolen reindeer

Are you up to the task, Mosku?
-l might very well be

l'd go too but l've got some
brickwork to do at home

Maybe l'll join in
later in the summer

Troops need to set out right away.
Any other volunteers?

l might as well go alone.
Better chance of going unnoticed

So that's settled then.
-Right

Mosku knows the area the best,
and he has no family to care for

l'll arrange for you to have
policeman's authority

You'll report to me. l'll send you
back-up, if need be

l need a gun and cartridges

So Mosku, you still remember
how to read and write?

Sure do, you taught me well

And that was ten years since.
Has it been of any use?

lndeed it has. Made me storekeeper
on the log floating team

Nowadays only guns seem
to be of any use

l have no more to give

We're short of everything now

Someone's coming

lt's that devil, Mosku!
The slaughterers' henchman

What the hell?
-Don't shoot!

They'll hear it at the house
and shoot us as rebels

Maybe you're right

l know a hut in the woods. Let's
hide there until things calm down

You're a smarter man than l thought

lt's a pity though.
l had him nicely in my sight

You old cow!
l'll kill you

Across the river!

Damn!

lt's just one man!

What's the rush?

The bandits came. They killed
my father and stole our reindeer

How many were they?
-There were five of them

Where?
-Three kilometers that way

Behind the steep hill

Take me with you

Can you shoot? -Yes.
l've hunted with my father

Can you manage?
-Yes

Mosku, help!

Put... gun away!

Where's the camp?
Where's Rupip��?

Don't kill him!

Follow the tracks back home.
l've no time to look after you

Mosku... Mosku's by the brook!

Let's go!

You hit for the gully...
Kriska!

Darn us all!

Mosku is in the camp!

Mosku, you devil!

Kriska!

You two go that way,
and you go that way

Join my gang

We've got the same blood
running in our veins

Together we'll be kings-

share what we take from fools,
like the first brothers before us

Mosku didn't bring back any
reindeer.- He sure didn't

But this time he got to keep
his pants

They say he's been killing Skolts
on his journeys

Cut the head off one of them
and stuck it on a pole

Christ! Do you always greet
your guests with a gun?

You never know who comes
in through the door

Your house looks like a campsite.
Plenty of work here for a wife

There's a reason why you came here?
-Yes

Master Sau sent for you.
Some high officer wants to see you

A high officer, you say?

Look at your pants.
The knees are all worn out

The forest takes its toll

That's some pagan country
we've got here

Hundreds of kilometers
of Russian border

ls that him?
-Yes

Moves in the woods like a
wolverine, is as nasty too

Mosku? l'm Commander Wallenius
from the Lapland Border Guard

l need a good guide to the
borderlands.-l know the area

l hear you've been chasing reindeer
thieves there. -Them too

l plan to cross to the Russian side
to fetch the stolen reindeer

Will you come as our guide?
-Hell, l might as well

Can you show me where we
should look for the reindeer?

The map's not right.
That's a river, not a lake

And that hill is further south.
This map will lead you astray

Really?
-l trust Mosku more than the map

l hear there was a problem with
arms the last time you went

l'll let you borrow this

On behalf of the State l promise
you won't run out of cartridges

That's a rifle and a pistol,
packed in one

Where did you get it?
-From Wallenius

Wallenius.
-Selmi

l'm Ali

So no one else came from
the village? -No

They'd just get in the way. lt's me
and Mosku the Skolts are scared of

They call you Evil Mosku

The say you've stuck a
reindeer thief's head on a pole

That's just a crock of shit

You're making a name for yourself

What is this?
-A shelter for the Skolts' reindeer

That lake is not on the map.
Where are we?

The path we're on will find its way

ls it far? -Behind the hill.
We'll leave the reindeer here

There's someone in the yard.
Do you know him, Mosku?

Those are my pants

Darn it, it's them

We'll encircle the house.
The three of you take the left side

Mosku and l will take care
of the men in the yard

Try to avoid shooting.
-l'll take the man with the pants

Let's go

Put the ax away

Those are my pants,
you devil

We found these in the shed.
-Finnish furs. From my reindeer!

You keep watch.
Selmi!

Damned thieves!
-Keep it down

Start talking! Where's Rupip��?
And the stolen reindeer?

He went to join the revolution.
-And the reindeer?

Over there, a couple of kilometers
from here

What's the problem?
-l need to take a shit

You can shit in your pants.
-Hell, no

Can you go with the prisoner,
Selmi?

Let him relieve himself.
-Yes, sir

We'll take a cigarette break

Get the belt!
