C'mon, say hi to Rayan.

You're taking him from us?

No!

(Pistol is cocked, gunshot)

I've lost my child because of you fucking assholes.

(Thud)

Where is she?

The girl costs 60,000. Money's not an issue.

Hello again.

- Hello. - Riku Ratio. This is my father, Juhani.

Hello.

Here are the mortgage papers

and the title for the house and property.

Can you check that the amount is correct?

It only needs your signatures.

Sign here.

Is he completely capable of making decisions on his own?

Shut up.

Fifty thousand in cash, as agreed.

- The rest of the money will be transferred

to your brother's bank account.

As agreed, you have two weeks to empty the house and the property.

Zip it. You got a good property cheap.

Here's your share, five thousand. It's all yours.

Shall I call you a taxi?

(Phone rings)

It's Yonah.

Hi, Yonah. Sammy.

I know that you know.

I want to help you find Liah.

Where is she?

You know where Aman was found?

Come there. I might have something.

What did he say? He wants to meet.

He know that I know.

Why does he want to meet, then?

Riku.

Where are you? I need my car.

Okay.

You're not going to meet with him.

Dad.

Where's my gun? You took my gun?

You're not going to meet with him.

I have to. No, you don't.

Riku is coming. He have the money.

BEER

You're not going. Dad!

It's a trap!

(Door closes)

(Checks pistol)

He said he'd be here at 10.

Bilal will call the embassy, and you'll get your child back.

Let it be. Don't make your situation worse.

Are you happy now?

Are you happy you managed to break our family?

Is that what you wanted?

Let it be, Joni. Joni.

Stay away. It's best.

What's wrong? Why are you mad at me?

You know it was a mistake.

What? That.

Why did you tell the police? I didn't.

But there is some women came here.

Was it Maria, the lawyer? No, that other women.

She said they're taking Rayan from us.

I didn't tell the police. You're lying.

No, you have to believe me. He's speaking the truth.

There you go.

He's so little. What's going to happen to him?

Well, it would be difficult to find a foster home

for a child with special needs at such short notice.

Special needs? What do you mean?

He has to take immunosuppressive drugs daily,

and he doesn't speak Finnish.

I'm sure that's not a problem.

Er...

What if Rayan's parents never show up?

What'll happen to him then?

Child protective services were notified about him,

and I've told them he can be here as long as necessary.

What do you mean?

If we don't suddenly find a better home for him than ours,

he'll stay here.

If it's okay with us.

Rayan is safe.

Maria always helps people. She helped me too.

But why are you in prison?

You haven't done anything, have you?

I Needed money so I could help you.

That's why I let people stay at my place.

That's why you couldn't let us stay with you?

Yes...

Kamal... You have to tell them everything.

You have to think about yourself, nobody else.

You can't let them put all the blame on you.

I'm safe. I'm in Finland.

Kamal... Thank you so much.

We wouldn't be here without your help.

Rayan, we have to go to the pharmacy.

Show me what a brave boy you are and take your medicine.

What?

I can't go to work today.

Good.

Hey, listen.

You can have this. This is my favorite towel.

Yeah.

Good. Let me check your teeth.

- Here's a towel for Rayan. - All right.

Let me check that all your teeth are clean.

Let's say "Aah."

Where did you get this?

Doesn't matter.

It's clean, and I want you to have it.

You'll get it back.

I don't how or when...

but you'll get it back.

Let them know we have it.

Where did Sammy go?

Talk! What can I say, Uncle?

I didn't know. I didn't know it was Liah.

Now it's too late. I'm sorry.

We didn't mean for this to happen.

Jorge! Jorge, wait!

Jorge!

Fuck...

Yonah. Where is she? I'm sorry, Sammy.

I'm sorry.

Tell me. I'll tell you.

Where is she? I'll tell you...

(Murmurs softly)

(Sammy weeps)

(Instant message chime)

Gone. Liah's photo.

It's gone. It's not on the web page.

It's a trick. They're trying to get more money.

You told them we have it, right? Yeah.

They messaged me back.

What is it?

They're saying that...

they sold Liah.

They're offering me another child.

They have some... great choices for me.

But Liah's sold.

I could go to the pharmacy.

You have work. Someone in this family's gotta work.

- Yeah. Will you be all right? - Of course.

Come, honey.

All right.

(Doorbell rings)

Wait. What is it?

Hello. I'm Bushra.

This is my husband. We need to speak with Maria.

Well, Maria is not home right now, sorry.

When will she be back? Is she far? Well, I really cannot say.

If this is something to do with Maria's work,

I suggest that you go see her at work, so...

We went there. We were told she's not at work.

Well, yeah, she's on sick leave, so please...

We need to speak to her about something

that concerns our child.

We don't know who else to ask where our child is.

She's Rayan's trustee, and Rayan was given to some family.

How can they do this to us?

How can they take our child from us?

Yes, well, sorry, I...

I really cannot...

You said your child's name was Rayan, right?

Yes, well, sorry, I really cannot help you. Sorry.

Please.

Please.

I failed her. Stop it.

She's gone. And it's my fault.

Sarah died. And it was so unnecessary.

And she was there.

Outside the coffee shop.

She was standing there. I should've turned my back.

I don't know why I didn't turn my back.

Anyone else would've turned their backs.

And Liah was right there.

But I chose Sarah. And now she's dead.

And Aman is dead. Why am I not dead?

Why am I not dead?

(Phone rings)

Should be dying.

Yeah?

Come down.

Okay. Don't say anything to Kiki.

Just come. Yeah.

I'll be back soon.

(Door opens and closes)

Liah is here.

You still have Kiki's passport, right? Yeah.

I never throw anything away. I know. I've seen your yard.

- What happened? - It's no big deal.

- What the hell, Sammy? - You don't have to worry about it.

- I'll take you to the hospital. - No, no.

We don't have time.

I'll go to the hospital, and you take Kiki to Stockholm.

And now, son...

you're gonna learn how to lie believably.

Kiki mustn't know at all what happened to me.

(Door opens and closes)

It was Sammy.

He told us we should go here.

What? To get Liah.

There's a boat leaving in two hours.

That's our best bet.

It's slow, but it's safe.

We will be there in the morning.

Why did he not come with us?

I honestly don't know.

(Sammy groans)

"If support from outpatient care isn't suitable to ensure

"that the child is being taken care of appropriately..."

What does that mean?

That there are situations

when you cannot take a child into custody.

What...?

"If support from outpatient care..."

Sorry, this is so special language,

and I don't know if Google Translate got this right.

But I guess you'll just have to explain to them.

(Approaching vehicle) Explain what?

That you had no choice but to take Rayan where he was taken.

To the hospital of undocumented people.

Yes. And we have to able to prove that there was no stabbing.

Yeah, I think it'll be fine. I'll just say it was me.

Let's try to get you, like,

free legal assistance that the city offers,

since I'm not a lawyer.

- So we can get a lawyer? - Yes.

(Sounds at door)

I think this is for you.

What is it?

"Custody decision."

This family could have a truck in the yard.

I'll go check where Petteri went.

Petteri?

Petteri.

Well? What?

Honey.

Darling. What's wrong?

It's my fault we're in this situation. That we don't have a child.

Hey, we discussed it already.

Everything has failed from the start because of me.

- Petteri. - It's true.

I love you.

- But we can't do this. - What”?

They came.

- Who? - Rayan's mom and dad were here.

They came when you were at the pharmacy.

They miss their child.

Rayan was taken into custody.

They don't take children into custody for no reason. You know that.

They were scared.

They were worried. They were sad.

They abandoned Rayan.

It didn't look like that.

Fifty thousand for you, fifty thousand for me.

What about Dad?

I paid his share from mine.

The money should be IN your account tomorrow.

I don't think we could've gotten more from anybody else.

I Didn't mean that.

- It just feels... - What?

- It wasn't okay that we sold it? - I didn't mean that.

I'm afraid you're going to mess up again.

I swear I won't.

I know I've sworn a hundred times before.

But this time I swear for real.

Then it's okay.

- You sure? - Yeah, it definitely is.

We need to be out in two weeks.

- You'll be back before that, right? - Yeah.

Just wanted to let you know.

- Where you going? - To Stockholm.

Again?

Why?

I'll help Kiki there.

Kiki?

Yeah.

It might be a while before I'm back.

It always is.

I'll let you know.

Take care.

Riku.

You saw Dad.

How was he?

Well...

Okay:.

This is the third sea that I cross.

The first one was in a small boat.

Second one in a cargo ship.

Now this.

Do you ever feel scared?

Yeah, sometimes.

But not now.

I've been scared before, but not like this.

What are you afraid of?

That she won't be there.

Then we'll keep searching.

What if someone hurt her?

What if someone did something to her? She's so small.

She shouldn't be without her mum.

I wish I could tell her that I'm coming.

I wish she knew that I'm on my way.

Can you hear me, Liah?

Mom's coming.

I'm so close, Liah.

Can you wait for me?

Can you hear me?

It's the engine of the boat. It's bringing me to you.

You'll see me tomorrow.

Tomorrow I'll hug you,

and this nightmare will end.

(Maria is wracked with sobs)

- I don't want to go. - Get in.

No! No! I want to stay in Finland!

Calm down!

Hey! Stop!

- Stop! - Stop!

(Approaching vehicle)

All right.

Have a good life.

Rayan!

Rama!

(Unsettling music)

It's here.

(Doorbell rings)

Liah.

What are you doing here?

Liah.

What the fuck? You have no business being here.

(A child cries)

(Suspenseful music)

(Child cries)

Hey, let's go.

- What's going on? - Get him out of here.

Hey. Hey.

Hey. Come here.

Come here.

Drop it.

Drop it.

Get into the room.

You too. Get in.

Riku, get Liah.

On your knees.

On your knees!

You, call the police.

Emergency.

Give the address.

- How can I help you? - Knutbygangen Alley 11 A 45.

Open the door!

(Approaching siren)

Liah.

Open your eyes, Liah.

Hey. Hey.

(Approaching siren)

I Can't wait for you to get a real driver's license.

Yeah, but I'm a bit attached to my Pepin the Short.

- You named it? - Yeah.

Pepin the Short, /751-769.

- It's 768. - History nerd.

- It's /68. - History nerd.

Says the German nerd. What have you learned?

"This is the Wild Huntsman that shoots the hares”

"With the grass-green coat he always wears:

With game-bag, powder-horn and gun,”

"He's going out to have some fun.”

"He wriggled And giggled,”

"Swung backward and forward And tilted his chair,”

“Philip! I am getting cross!”

I knew you'd steal my literary sources.

There you go.

- Painkillers. - Thank you.

(Cough)

(Melancholy piano music)

(Phone call tones)

Riku? Yeah, it's me.

How did it go? It went well.

Do you have Liah?

She's right here. In her mother's arms.

You're bullshitting me, are you? You know I suck at lying.

I remember. You are too soft for this kind of job.

Where are you? Is Kiki there?

Yeah, she's right here. Just a second.

Dad?

Kiki. You have Liah?

Yeah.

Yeah.

(Siren)

(Elegiac piano and orchestra)
