What about Aman and Liah?

You brought them into the country...

They think you're...

Dad?

Hello.

So... This is for you.

There is a travel card for you, and there is 20 euros on it.

I'll deduct it from your allowance.

And some money. So will you please sign here?

Did you get to meet your dad?

Okay.

So, you can come and go as you please as long as you keep us updated

as to where you're going and when you'll be back.

Okay?

What about my husband and daughter?

Oh, yes. Here is police station.

You should go and file a missing persons report.

Do you have a photo of them? No.

Oh, you should find one.

Well, I'll show you where you can get some new clothes.

This way, please.

(Contemplative piano music)

Cousin Kiki!

It's been so long since we last saw each other.

How long? How many years? Many. Many.

I heard about Sammy.

It's a shitty thing. Yeah. I can't believe it.

Did you know? That he did that for a living?

Of course not.

But Sammy is a good guy.

He's worried about you and Liah. Poor man. In prison, worrying.

Everything's gonna work out, believe me.

Good morning, pastor. Morning.

I'm sure you remember me. Yonah.

And this is... I'm Kiki, Sammy's daughter.

Hello.

What do you want?

Kiki needs to get into Sammy's apartment.

But we don't have a key. The church owns the apartment.

Pastor...

Please, pastor.

Kiki just arrived, and her husband and daughter are missing.

The lease expires at the end of the month.

Here. Thank you.

Do you know anything about Aman and Liah?

It's my husband and daughter. I know nothing about anything.

This has given us a lot of trouble.

Thank you.

Is she Liah?

Yeah.

That's Liah.

Hello?

Barbara, where are you?

In the meeting spot where we agreed on.

We'll be picked up soon. You have the girl with you?

Yes. What's her name?

What? Oh, her name?

What's your name?

Your name is Liah, right? Liah, right?

Her name is Liah. Are you sure? Ask again.

I just asked. Fuck! We're in so deep shit.

Barbara, don't give the child to anyone.

Leave right now and get a room at a hotel.

What?

Get a room at a hotel.

And stay there. I'll explain later. I don't understand.

You don't have to understand. Just do what I say.

I can't say any more.

And Barbara, when they call you, don't pick up. Okay?

I'm ready.

(Barbara's phone rings on mute)

BODY OF UNIDENTIFIED MAN FOUND ON THE SHORE OF HELSINKI

I don't think my leg's gonna heal before the dance.

So we can't dance? Is that what you came to tell me?

Yes.

You can ask someone else to dance with you.

I don't want to dance with anyone else.

BASICS OF LAW

- Are you going to apply for law school? - Maybe.

You can't apply vet. You're still in high school.

I'll apply next year.

Why are you studying for the exam now?

I'm a bit slow.

I have dyslexia.

- Do you have a problem with that? - NO.

Some people do.

So, who are the people at your house?

- Just some people Riku knows. - Okay. Are they still there?

And do they have something to do with your leg?

You don't have to tell me.

Bushra, do you understand that the surgery could be dangerous?

- Maria said the surgery isn't dangerous. - There you go.

Anything can happen in surgery.

I don't want to put you two at risk. I'll donate my kidney.

Jawad. Did you apply for asylum in Sweden?

Yes.

You can't come to the hospital. You shouldn't be in the country.

My child is going to have surgery!

If you come, you'll be putting your whole family at risk.

The little boy whose guardian I am has to undergo surgery.

We have to find a kidney for him as soon as possible.

You don't have to donate yours, do you?

No, I just need to get hold of his parents.

- Where are they? - You tell me.

You have no idea how indifferent people can be.

You're not straining yourself too much with work, are you?

My work makes me feel I'm part of life.

Life that goes onward and upward.

Wait.

I checked out the Bulgarian adoptions we discussed.

I Think it's doable If we want to give it a try.

I mean, if you want to give it a try.

Let's discuss it in the evening.

Bye!

BASICS OF LAW

I'll see you soon. You're not coming with me?

I have to go handle a work thing.

But you'll be all right.

Thanks, Yonah. You're a good guy.

Hi.

Hey, guess what happened.

You know the kid that Barbara took to Stockholm?

She's Sammy's grandkid. We need to get her back.

What the hell are you talking about? She's Sammy's grandkid.

Her mother is running around town,

and the cops are also looking for her.

You got nothing to worry about. Just breathe.

No, but we can't sell her.

She's Sammy's grandkid, for fuck's sake.

Do I look like I care? I'll tell you what...

That girl will not be sold.

Barbara will bring her back, and I already gave instructions.

Hey! Hey!

Stop fuckin' whining. We sold the kid.

And she's not coming back. We gotta get some serious money.

Don't fuck this up any more than you already have.

And if Sammy finds out, we're in deep shit.

He's not gonna find out unless you fuck this up.

What's going on here? What are you so upset about?

Huh? Nothing.

Nothing.

Yonah? All good.

All good? Good!

The laundry won't move if you are standing here like cows.

And you...

We have a delivery to Hanano's place. Come to my office.

Hey, Barbara. Forget what I said earlier.

Just take the girl to the place we agreed. Okay?

You have the photos there?

Please fill in your contact information here.

(Suspenseful music)

So, Liah, let's go.

What the heck took you so long?

Everything's okay. I'll explain later.

So, Liah, I go now.

These people will take care of you.

(Toddler cries)

- What are you doing? - Making a list.

- What list? - A list.

Do you have any chronic illnesses?

How old is she?

What about mental illnesses? Have you ever had any?

Are you taking any medications?

We don't have any identification documents.

How old are you? 24. No, I mean, 25.

I've just turned 25.

Because of the child, she should tell things as they are.

We don't have her medical history, so we have to rely on her word.

How old is she really?

And are you here of your own free will? Yes, I am. Of course.

No one made you come here?

Or demand that you accept money for this?

Bushra is the boy's mother.

The law requires them to make sure

there's nothing suspicious about donating an organ.

That's right.

Sometimes there is.

Bushra, tell her you're here of your own free will.

- Why? - Just say It.

I'm here of my own free will.

Oh, darling!

Mommy's little darling.

I missed you so much.

Why don't we go to the lab now. You can come back after that.

Bushra, darling, they're waiting for you.

I'll be back soon.

This is absurd. Why are they tormenting her like this?

Rayan is four and Rama is six. Do I remember right?

What?

Their dad could've donated his kidney. Why her?

Bushra wanted to donate hers.

And you wanted to take Rayan from the hospital.

What if I hadn't been there? What would've happened to Rayan?

Please give me the pliers.

No more freezing, dammit!

Is it working?

- What are you doing? - Cleaning the fridge.

You've never seen me do this before?

No. I've definitely never seen you clean the fridge.

Now you have.

New winds are blowing In this household.

We'll pay our debts and sort out everything else too.

Is the water already hot?

It will be soon.

Oh, here's a jar of pesto.

From 2014. Do you think it has a collector's value?

I Can put an ad on an online marketplace.

Color and measurements”?

Glass cylinder, height eight centimeters, diameter four.

Color, green. It's hard to say if it's moldy green or pesto green.

What happened in 2014?

Someone in this household hit his teens

and started throwing tantrums.

We managed to get rid of Dad.

And one jar of pesto started getting old In the refrigerator.

The water's hot.

Think about it. We have hot water.

Hello. I'm looking for...

Where is the...

Oh.

He took my shower gel.

Rama. Come. It's your turn.

Go get a towel from the kitchen.

Be careful. The water's really hot.

Come on, let's go.

When are you coming for the rest?

- Thank you for everything. - No problem.

How long will this go on?

Take your jacket off. I'll bring you a clean blanket.

Do you speak English?

BODY OF UNIDENTIFIED MAN FOUND ON THE SHORE OF HELSINKI

(Suspenseful music)

Is that how you say hello?

What are you doing here?

I brought Sammy's keys. Oh.

I was waiting for my cousin.

And your idea was to welcome him with a knife?

He usually rings the bell like normal people.

So I thought it was a burglar, or I don't know...

So, have you heard anything

about your husband and your daughter?

No.

Why? No, I just...

Let me show you.

This probably has nothing to do with your husband, but...

Where was this taken? Somewhere on the coast of Helsinki.

BODY OF UNIDENTIFIED MAN FOUND ON THE SHORE OF HELSINKI

Doesn't say where exactly, but...

They just found it. Or him.

Is he... dead? Yeah.

(Doorbell rings)

Hi. Come in.

We have a guest.

Hi. Riku. Yonah.

Hi.

Riku brought me to Finland.

He's Sammy's friend or acquaintance or...

Sammy's never talked about you.

Could it be Aman?

No, I don't think so. This is... someone else.

We should call the police. No, don't.

Wait. Let's think. How the hell could this be Aman?

The police would have called you.

You filed a missing persons report. Yes, but...

I'm sure they will call you if something comes up.

It says that the police doesn't know who it is.

Yes, and Aman has no ID with him.

They would have no way of knowing.

I'm going to the police station. Yonah, let's go.

Um...

I should be at work already. I just came to check on you.

So you're not taking me?

I'll take you.

Honestly, I think it'll be a waste of time.

Hi.

Where's your mom?

Mother.

Bushra.

Mum.

Mom.

Look what I brought you.

I'll wait here.

(Phone rings)

- What's up? - Hi.

- Where are you again? - What do you mean?

Do you know where Bushra is? She's not here.

But her husband and Rama are.

Where can she be?

Why are you bothering yourself with her?

What are you talking about?

Yeah, I think I'll be able to deliver it by then.

Okay. Thanks.

A lot of fighting,

but we got permission to perform the surgery.

Now we need a temporary residence permit for Rayan.

Kamal, do you hear me?

What about Bushra?

For her as well. And Jawad. For the whole family.

What does this mean in terms of them getting to Sweden?

They'll get there.

The most important thing is to make sure Rayan gets healthy, right?

Even if everything goes well,

Rayan has a long recovery period ahead of him.

It's essential for Rayan's legal protection

that his family is registered.

I wouldn't compromise that.

- How long? - It'll probably be weeks.

And they have to be here the whole time?

No, but Rayan has to.

All right. Now we need Jawad's signature on the application.

Are you coming?

Jawad?

Jawad?

Tell me. Did they have the surgery?

- No. - What?

They need your signature. You have to register yourselves.

Impossible! You told me we didn't!

I know.

Hi.

- Hi. - I'm Maria. From Refugee Protection.

- Joni. - That's what I thought.

I'm taking care of your guests' things.

Yeah?

Kamal said Bushra said good things about you.

She said you're a true gentleman.

- Where is she? - She's in the hospital.

Did Jawad do something to her?

- No. They're removing a kidney. - What?

She's donating it to Rayan. Didn't you know?

Why did you assume that Jawad had done something?

- Has he done something to her? - To me, mainly.

What's he done?

- Well? - Jawad wasn't there.

He doesn't have a phone,

I think he just went for a walk with Rama.

The surgery doesn't depend on his signature, does it?

No, I'm sure it doesn't.

If he isn't here, he isn't.

(Jenna starts car and drives off)

Do you know why he didn't have any ID with him?

They were taken from us already in Eritrea.

I have to ask you to take a look at the contents of the plastic bag

so that you can sign this form,

saying you have received his belongings.

The fact that these things are here suggests

that there was no foul play associated with his death.

But on the other hand, there was a bruise on his head.

So, we can't say with any certainty... Someone beat him?

We don't know yet where he got the bruise.

My daughter. Are you searching for her?

We will do everything we can to find her.

Do you have any information on who brought them to Finland?

Nothing? No.

That information could help us to find her.

I want to know where my husband was found.

I want to go here.

(Sounds of a commotion)

The neighbors will hear!

- What's going on? - He just flipped.

Calm down. Move a bit.

- He needs to go. - Be quiet. Calm down.

Everything's okay. I'll get you water. Take it easy.

Hold the glass.

I'll give you a tranquilizer. It'll make you feel better.

Here. Take it. It'll calm you down.

Take it. It'll calm you.

I came as soon as I could.

Where is Kiki?

She went to the police station.

Aman was found.

He's dead.

How did he die?

He drowned.

What about Liah?

We don't have any information about her.

But it doesn't look good.

Where was he found?

I don't know.

Kiki called some time ago.

What are you doing here, then?

You should be with her. She can't be left alone!

She's not alone.

Some guy who drives around in your Volvo keeps her company.

When are you getting out? Or are you getting out?

I don't know.

My lawyer is trying to get me out during the investigation.

I'll find out soon.

Try to know where Aman was found.

Like that, we will figure out who put him there.

I'll ask around.

Yonah...

It wasn't your group, was it? Was it Sharif? Of course not.

Are you sure?

I would know if it was.

Find out the location.

She was here.

(Kiki walks into the water)

(Melancholy music)

How could you leave her?

How could you leave her?

She's so little.

Alone. In a place like this.

How could you leave her?

How could you leave our daughter, Aman?

Liah. Liah.

Liah!

Do you wish to play with toys?

- Can you make her smile? - All right.

Okay.

Would you smile a little? Everything's all right.

Look into the camera.

- Could you make her smile? - Yeah.

Look into the camera.
