THE KNOCKING

Matilda. Pass me the pen, please.

-Okay.
-Thanks.

Two copies.
One for you and one for us.

I need your signatures on them.

I want to thank you for your patience.

Your case has taken
an exceptionally long time.

There's nothing ambiguous
about your parents' will, but...

This has the same exact text
that we went over?

Yes. It's an identical copy.

You can check, of course.

The will doesn't address
movable property,

so you can share it as you like.

-Any questions?
-No.

Thank you.

Thanks.

Thanks.

A toast to orphans.

Finally we're orphans officially.

-Are you hungover?
-No.

-You can have a beer.
-I can't.

-Did you go out last night?
-No.

We had a drink.

When's your ship leaving?

Haven't you booked a ticket?

I said at home
I might take a couple of days.

-How are the girls?
-Good.

-Does Claudia still have the yoga studio?
-Yes.

-Where's the toilet?
-Around the corner.

-How are you?
-Good.

I heard you got into medical school.

-Yeah.
-That's great.

I was thinking of taking
a second gap year

but decided to take
the entrance exam just for kicks.

That's pretty good for just kicks.

Seriously, that's great. Congratulations.

If you need books, I have them all.

Yeah. Thanks.

We need to decide
what to do with the house.

We have to take a look
at the movable property.

-I'll go there today.
-I can come with you.

-You don't have to.
-It's okay.

-Are you sure?
-Yes.

It's okay. It happened,
like, a hundred years ago.

Okay. I'm also coming with you.

-You're not needed at home?
-I need a little vacay.

Excuse me, may I have the bill?

I'll take care of it.

Oh, thank you.

Are forests
in Finland and Sweden different?

-You asking me?
-You're the dendochronologist here.

-Dendro...
-chronologist.

-Dendro. Can you say the letter r?
-Dendro.

They're not that different.

-What is it you do?
-Well, dating of tree rings.

-Wow.
-Of wooden artifacts.

We're creating a chronology
of tree growth spanning 10,000 years.

-A growth ring calendar.
-Growth ring calendar?

We can use it to determine
the age of archeological finds.

Each tree
in a certain area looks the same.

We look for commonalities.

We'll cut down a really thick tree
and take a log from an old cabin

and compare the year rings,
looking for commonalities.

That way we can go back in time.

We've gone 7,600 years back in time
thanks to subfossil tree trunks.

You're a subfossil.

-What?
-I mean...

-What did you say, teenager?
-Sounds cool.

Do you want a hamburger?
Should we stop and get you a coke?

-It's really interesting.
-Well...

-I mean...
-It really isn't, but it is.

I find it fascinating how things
can be seen in trees.

-It sounds amazing.
-It is, if you're curious about things.

-If you're not, it's not.
-Right.

Maria.

This is real estate agent
Jere Günsberg.

Hi.

We're putting your parents' house
up for sale today.

It'll be interesting to see the response.
The location's unique, so I'm optimistic.

That's great.

-Are you on your way there?
-Yes.

Keep your phone on.
We'll try to get this moving.

Good. Let's do that.

-Talk to you soon. Bye.
-Thanks. Bye.

There's tea for you, honey.

I have a long drive ahead of me.

-What is it?
-I don't know.

-You're never home.
-It'll only be a couple of days.

This trip was decided ages ago,
and we'll go over work stuff there.

This feels like the time
before Matilda was born.

I promised.

You and your promises.

Don't.

Mikko.

When are you moving?

The 15th.

We'll do something fun before that.

Thanks.

-Can you pay these too?
-Yes.

POLICE: AXE MURDER VICTIM
DIED OF HEAD INJURIES

FATHER FOUND IN THE YARD
MOTHER MISSING

I love you.

Talk to you soon.

Say hi to the girls.

Yeah. Bye.

-Why didn't you tell her I said hi?
-Bad coverage.

All right. Let's enjoy our little vacay.

I don't think this is really a vacay.

Do you know
what it's like to travel with kids?

I've always loved the sea.

The coolest thing as a kid
was when we got on the road.

Doesn't sound like much of a childhood.

Are you nervous?

It's been some time.

Everything's okay. I'll take care of you.

Matilda, can you bring me the keys.

Has the gate always been here?

What?

Let's check the stuff here

and leave the key
for the real estate agent.

You think
someone would actually buy this?

-You'd burn this down instead or what?
-It'd be easier.

Matilda,
did you read the estate inventory?

Why?

Mom and Dad owned a little
over 100 hectares of forest here.

What does that mean?

If we sell it at market price,
a couple of thousand euros per hectare,

we'll each get...

-A hundred thousand.
-At least.

We'd sell the forests too?

-I'd like the money.
-So would I.

-What did you have in mind?
-These forests are ancient.

I'd be happy to have a stack of money
in hand after all that's happened.

They'll build
wind farms and a resort here--

So what?

It's clear we should sell.
Unless you want to buy our shares.

I'm fine with that.

What was the cage thing?
I read the reports, but I don't get it.

I wonder what the fuck happened here.

Why am I always the last to hear?

Calm down and stop raving.

-We'd end up raising it.
-It's Maria's decision.

-She's a child.
-Be quiet. You'll wake Matilda.

-Stop banging on the door.
-Maria, come out!

-Wait.
-Let me be.

Calm down, honey. Listen.

You can't have the baby.

Do you think
your boyfriend will take responsibility?

You'll be alone with the baby.

You think you want it,
but you don't.

You'd not only be ruining your life
but all of ours as well.

-You can't say that.
-Be quiet.

I know a clinic that takes care
of these things discreetly.

What a surprise.

Huh? What did you just say?

I'll book an appointment
at the clinic for tomorrow.

People talk about closure.

Maybe it's good that we came here.

We'll grill sausages over a campfire,
listen to music and savor the feeling.

-Savor the feeling?
-Yes, savor the feeling.

-I'm envious of your generation.
-For good reason.

Did you hear that?

They should've migrated already.

Mom said birds only nest in living trees.

Not true.
Birds will even nest on a car tire.

Shall we make a campfire?

Yeah. I'll go get firewood.

What are you looking for?

This.

I want to see if I can get it started.

By the way, do you need a car?

Hello?

This is Jere, the real estate agent.
Good news.

Yeah?

There's good response
to your sales ad.

I thought the history of the house
might be a challenge.

-Right.
-It's looking good.

We might have it sold by next week.

We can inflate the price.

We'll have a bidding contest
for forest industry companies,

and we'll sell the house separately.

Hello? Can you hear me?

Hello?

This isn't... I'll call you back.

-Where's Mikko?
-Talking to the trees.

What a surprise.

I went to therapy for many years
to find peace after all that happened.

It's great you can take it so easy.

Doesn't this place awaken
any feelings in you?

No.

I can't remember much.

Have you heard
of dissociative amnesia?

-It's a coping mechanism.
-Or just common sense.

There's so much shit
happening in the world.

The more you're able
to block it out, the better.

Maybe.

The time after the incident
was fucking strange.

Everyone was asking me
about it all the time.

Or were staring at me.

I want to tell you

I thought about it a lot.

Having you living with me.

But I couldn't do it.

I was so messed up.

What was the cage thing?

I don't know, Matilda.

I know you're not interested
in year rings, but

we might have a pretty big problem.

I've never seen anything like this.

Look.

It's as if the trees died
in certain years

and then continued growing.

-Is that possible?
-No.

Or maybe there's a toxin
or a mineral in the ground...

In any case,
the forest is probably worthless.

No one wants to buy
rotten boards with stripes on them.

Fuck.

-Do we tell the real estate agent?
-No.

Not yet.

I have to check
if all the trees are like that.

HEARTLAND AXE MURDERS
1974, 1998, 2006

I found Mom's pearl necklace.
Either one of you want it?

-Mikko, would Claudia like to have it?
-No.

Hi. It's Maria.

How are you?

What?

What do you mean?

I don't understand.

I almost remember
Dad having a cigarette in this spot.

-He hid his smoking.
-From Mom?

He had other secrets too.

-What secrets?
-He was no saint.

-Why didn't you tell me you divorced?
-What?

-I just spoke with Claudia.
-Why would I?

You divorced years ago.

I'm not going to talk about it.
Case closed.

-What are you talking about?
-Case closed.

I want to know why you haven't told me.

We're here to sort out
the stuff in the house.

This isn't a therapy trip for me!

We haven't suddenly become
a family that talks about things!

-Calm down.
-Stay out of this.

You haven't seen
your daughters in years.

Let's get it all sorted
and get the hell out.

We'll sell this place and go back
to living our lives! Okay?

-Who did you call on the ferry?
-None of your business.

What are you hiding?

You want to talk about secrets? Huh?

What the hell just happened?

Nothing.

Hi.

Sometimes I wonder

what would've happened
if I had had the courage to keep it.

If I had known
I wouldn't get another chance...

Really?

Really.

I can't have children.

I find it hard to understand
why you don't want to see your children.

It's getting dark.

You keep it here.

I'd just lose it.

-Do you want me to talk to Dad?
-It's too late.

Oh my.

A young man and a big city.

The best time in a man's life.

Call me if he gives you any trouble.

Well, things are the same as before.

Nice of you to visit.
Matilda was happy.

From Mikko?
I haven't heard anything from him.

Maria, just a moment.

Come on in.

You could all come.
It would be nice to meet Claudia.

Good. All right.

Yeah. Bye.

I brought you a couple of books.

I found another one of those things.
Close by.

Let's go take a look.

I'll be back soon.

Did you manage to start a campfire?

We'll grill sausages in a bit.

What did you do in the forest?

Don't tell Dad
we talk about these things.

Matilda, your great-grandmother
lived in Heartland and talked

about these things already back then.

We're investigating.
This forest is special.

Ancient earth-centered religions say
that old spirits live in our forest.

The Forest Ranger, for example.

Pretty scary.

You don't have to be afraid of him.
He protects the forest.

He won't hurt anyone
who doesn't hurt the forest.

Hello, madam.

What is it?

What?

-We were supposed to discuss this.
-That's what we've been doing.

You shouldn't have.

You'll thank me. Look at the amount.

We're going to be rich.

We can upgrade our cognac.

-Did you sign this already?
-No. We need a signing ceremony.

No.

No what?
I'm the head of this household.

-I've made my decision about the forest.
-No one will touch the forest.

You don't understand
this is part of something bigger.

You're pretty deep
into that superstitious nonsense.

Don't say that.

You don't understand
the consequences of your decision.

At first your hobby was cute,

something to keep
a housewife occupied.

-But isn't this going a bit foo far?
-No.

-What no?
-You're going too far.

You know I don't want
anybody digging in the forest.

I inherited this land,
and I won't see it destroyed.

What are you afraid of?

Do you realize
how much money we'd make?

We can find another playground
for you and your hippie friend.

It's a mistake.

Ma'am, no offense,
but this is a family matter.

Please leave.

You're being really disrespectful.

Where are you going?
Did your girlfriend get mad?

Your mom will understand eventually.

-Huh?
-Yeah.

Goddammit.

I won't allow them to feed you this shit.

It looks like
Dad was planning to sell this place.

Mineral exploration permit,
topographical map and seismic report.

I guess the process was never finished.

-Did you know about this?
-No.

What were you and Mikko arguing
about?

Nothing.

Anything to do with me?

Not at all.

What then?

Mikko's right.
This isn't the right time to talk.

-Should I be worried?
-No.

You know what?
I was bullshitting earlier.

Coming here was difficult.

Not because of this place
but because you two piss me off.

-Hi, honey.
-Hi, Mom.

I did really bad on my final exams.

-What?
-I failed almost every subject.

-No... How's that possible?
-I know. I studied hard.

Just kidding. You're so easy.

I got really good grades.

-No...
-Oh, yes.

-Oh, honey. I'm so happy for you.
-Be happy.

-You!
-You're so easy.

Hey, my friends are waiting outside.
I gotta go.

-We're going to a bar.
-Go.

I'm so proud of you. Oh, honey.

I'm sure you would've been.

But you did what your dad said.

And you regret it.

Come get me.

-Hello?
-You know where to find me.

-Hello?
-Come get me, Mom.

Hello?

Maria!

-Let's wrap it up and forget this place.
-Matilda, I didn't mean that.

Were you over there a moment ago?

No.

I...

What about the year rings?

I'll continue the research tomorrow.

We can't stay here overnight.

-I don't mind.
-No...

I want to leave.

We're not going anywhere.

What do you mean
we're not going anywhere?

The last ferry already left.

There are no more ferries tonight.

-Did they come back?
-Who?

The three people.
Did they come back to the mainland?

I have to get to Heartland today.

You know the ferry schedule
full well, ma'am.

-Would this be nicer?
-They're my old shirts.

-They are?
-Yes. You can have them.

-Really?
-Yeah.

I wore that one in the school photo.
I hated it.

Maria, why haven't you answered
your phone?

What?

The real estate agent said
he's been trying to reach you.

We got an offer. At market value.

What about the black year rings?

They're not interested in the trees.
It's a mining company.

-Did you see Dad's documents?
-What?

What's wrong with you?

-Are you hiding something?
-No.

You don't want to sell?

-I don't know.
-Let's vote.

Those in favor of selling?

I'll call the lawyer in the morning.

Where are we going to sleep,
by the way?

We have to get mattresses
from upstairs.

Dad's whisky has held up well.

Right. Whisky can go bad so easily.

Now that I've been reading
Dad's documents,

for once,
I can say he did something right.

What are you going to do
with the money?

What are you going to do with it?

I want to go to Bali.

-Are you serious?
-Yeah, yeah. Why not?

Okay. That's great.

What about you?

Well, I have some current expenses...

What happened with Claudia?

Tell me.
Divorce is nothing to be ashamed of.

Yeah, well, I don't know.

Maybe sometimes it is.

-It wasn't a pretty divorce.
-How so?

I cheated on her,
and the other woman got pregnant.

You have a third child?

No.

All right.

Hey. Look what I found in the shed.

I thought you drew two suns,
but those are year rings.

True.

-Do you remember the drawing?
-No.

I wonder how old you were.

Based on your art, not very.

You could've become
a happy, successful dendrochronologist

like your brother.

Or an artist.

Not with that portfolio.

Damn.
These mattresses are so uncomfortable.

-You can sleep upstairs if you want.
-I don't think so.

It's good we came.

I sometimes wonder

how things would be
if they were different.

I've missed you.

Good night. See you in the morning.

Good night.

We'd sell the forests too?

You can't have the baby.

I won't allow them to feed you this shit.

You have a third child?

Mom?

Mom.

Are you sleepwalking again, honey?

Mom.

What were you doing outside?

Who were you talking to?

Can you hear it?

Can you hear it?

Can you?

Hey.

Where are you going?

Dad, wake up.

Mom's acting strange.

Hey.

You were sleepwalking.

I remember.

Matilda.

Matilda!

Come. Come.

Maria?

My baby.

Maria.

My baby.

Hey.

Let's put it back.

Let's put it back.

Yeah.

-Where am I?
-Come.

We have to find Matilda.

-She's gone missing.
-What?

Let's go.

Matilda!

Matilda.

I found her upstairs.

She remembered something
and ran off.

Matilda?

-Go to the front of the house.
-Yeah.

Matilda?

Matilda!

Matilda!

No sign of her.

Maybe she went down the road.
Can you drive?

Yeah.

What happened over there?

Everything's okay. Let's go.

Shit.

Mom.

Daddy, wake up. Daddy!

-What?
-Wake up.

-What?
-Mom's acting weird.

-Where's Mom?
-In the kitchen.

Wait here.

Goddammit.

Goddammit.

Matilda, you have to go in the cage.

Honey, get in the cage.

Go in. Be quiet.

Don't move.
Someone's going to get you.

Be quiet. Dad loves you.

I'm calling...

-The year rings.
-What?

What if they're...

What if... What if there's
something wrong with Matilda?

-If this place...
-What are you talking about?

Maybe Mom and Dad
didn't put her in the cage.

-Maybe she just went in.
-Matilda?

Maybe she wanted to make it look
like she didn't do anything.

If this...

-When I look at the year rings, I feel...
-What?

...like it's happening again.

What?

Something evil.

I'll take care of you.

Watch out!

Are you okay?

Listen.

I came to warn you.

This forest is protecting itself.

It wants to live.

Don't be a threat.

Not guilty.

Matilda.

Everything's okay, honey.

Let me help you.

You have to come with me.

Matilda's here.

Go.

Everything's okay.

Go to Mom.

My condolences about your dad.

We'll be finished here soon.

There's just one thing.

Your family has had
some land for generations.

Heartland.
