Our tent leaked, PEKKA But Dad refused to take us to a hotel. I was sick for the rest of the summer. PEKKA Are you having a midlife crisis, or what's going on? HESSU No midlife crisis. HESSU You start thinking about your childhood HESSU And yourself in this continuum HESSU Of generations and as a parent. PEKKA You're having a midlife crisis. TARMO I've been thinking about things. TARMO I'm not going in. THE GRUMP Yes, you are. THE GRUMP You wrote her a ton of letters and never even mailed them. THE GRUMP Tell her everything you've been thinking. TARMO No, don't ring it. TARMO Not a word about my health, okay? GRUMP Dad. Daughter. Make up. GRUMP Do you have coffee in this house? TARMO My brother. MARIA Oh, I see. Well, why don't you come in too. MARIA Coffee. MARIA Milk. Sugar. GRUMP You didn't teach your daughter Finnish. TARMO I'm sorry we showed up unannounced like this. MARIA You could've called. TARMO I don't have your number. TARMO How are you? MARIA Pretty good. MARIA I'm a history researcher and lecturer at the university. THE GRUMP It doesn't sound like you're apologizing. You're just chatting. TARMO You were always good in school. TARMO Are you married? MARIA No, but I have a son. MARIA Max. He's five. I had him on my own. TARMO Ah so, TARMO So I'm. TARMO I have a grandson, Max. Oh my. THE GRUMP He wouldn't be here if it wasn't for your daughter. You owe her. TARMO Is he home? MARIA He's at the kindergarten. TARMO Well, I'll meet him when he comes home. TARMO Grandpa came for a visit. MARIA I don't want you to meet him. TARMO I see. MARIA You left us. You never even tried to be a dad. MARIA You show up all of a sudden, don't even apologize MARIA nd think you can play grandpa. TARMO Maria, I'm... MARIA I don't want unreliable adults in Max's life. MARIA I have to work. TARMO Okay. We'll leave. TARMO Let's go. TARMO Come. THE GRUMP Go ahead, say it. TARMO What? THE GRUMP Why are you sulking? TARMO I'm not. THE GRUMP I thought about what's best for you and your daughter. TARMO You shouldn't have. TARMO Everything was good before you stuck your nose in my life. THE GRUMP Nothing was good in your life. You're a lonely old man who'll die soon. THE GRUMP And you abandoned your only child. TARMO I didn't abandon her. I. TARMO Things aren't that black-and- white. TARMO Not everyone's life is as easy as yours. You were given everything. THE GRUMP I know nothing about easy.I did what I had to. TARMO You took the responsibility, hoed soil, yes! TARMO You had a home and a family. GRUMP You didn't want a family.You wanted freedom and you got it. GRUMP You saw the whole world. I saw Norway. TARMO I didn't want freedom. THE GRUMP Why did you leave then? TARMO Hey, you're in the wrong lane. THE GRUMP Don't tell me where to drive. TARMO You're going in the wrong direction, idiot! TARMO Watch it! TARMO Oh, no. TARMO I have to throw up. THE GRUMP Thanks to you, I ended up in jail, too. TARMO It was your own fault. You should've listened. THE GRUMP I'm listening now. Why don't you tell me. TARMO Tell you what? THE GRUMP Why your daughter hates you so much. TARMO Maria's mother's name was Linda. We were a great couple. TARMO We traveled around Europe, TARMO And when Maria was born, things just got better. TARMO Then years went by, and Linda got bored of the lifestyle. TARMO Maria was going to start school, and Linda wanted us to buy ahouse TARMO And start living a normal life. TARMO I tried. I really tried. TARMO I got a job at a warehouse. I became a headphone collector. TARMO I'd pick headphones up and put it in a cage trolley in a windowless storehouse. TARMO I went home at five, and in the morning I took Maria to school. TARMO But it was burning inside me. TARMO My motor home was parked on the street outside our house, TARMO And I just wanted to get back on the road. TARMO Then one day I just did. TARMO I wrote a note and left. TARMO I broke everything. TARMO I tried to keep in touch with Maria, TARMO But she was obviously angry at me. TARMO When she grew up, we'd meet every now and then. TARMO I thought maybe we'd be able to work it out. TARMO Then Linda died. A little over ten years ago. TARMO I didn't go to her funeral. TARMO I couldn't. TARMO I regretted so much what I had done to her. TARMO That's when Maria cut me out of her life. THE GRUMP Anything can be fixed. THE GRUMP You did a bad thing, but you're not bad. TARMO I'm weak. That's what Dad used to say too. THE GRUMP He didn't know what he was talking about. Inside, you're strong. TARMO Look at you. You're solid as oak. THE GRUMP Your daughter will forgive you. TARMO Maybe. HESSU Pekka? Are you asleep? PEKKA Yes. HESSU May I come in? PEKKA No. HESSU Okay. HESSU Has Dad ever told you he loves you? PEKKA What. PEKKA Of course not. Why are you. HESSU I was just wondering if I've told my kids often enough HESSU I love them. HESSU My kids aren't talking to me. HESSU We're not communicating. HESSU I've tried too hard to be different from Dad. HESSU I took a parental leave and took the kids to musiclessons. HESSU I ask them what's making them sad and how they're feeling. HESSU And yet, the dynamics are the same. HESSU I've been trying to find a way HESSU To break this cycle of not speaking that's been passed on from one generation to another. PEKKA I don't think not speaking is your problem. PEKKA You and Dad are different. You maybe share a couple of genes. PEKKA Forget about it. Go to bed. Good night. HESSU Pekka? PEKKA What? HESSU Liisa is pregnant. PEKKA Seriously? HESSU Yeah. PEKKA Wow. That's. PEKKA Congratulations. PEKKA That's great. POLICE Gentlemen, come with me. POLICE You can go. POLICE Stay away from the autobahn. TARMO Yeah, sure. Thank you. POLICE This way.

KOLEHMAINEN They're named after the men in The Unknown Soldier. KOLEHMAINEN I came to check how you're doing. PEKKA Named after men? These are chicken. KOLEHMAINEN They're last names. Unisex. HESSU Have you heard from Dad? KOLEHMAINEN No. You'll know he's back KOLEHMAINEN When you see the hood of an Escort. PEKKA He's one heck of a man. PEKKA He traveled to the other side of the world to get an old Ford Escort. KOLEHMAINEN He got the car when you were born. KOLEHMAINEN So that he could drive you around. KOLEHMAINEN I never saw a prouder man than your dad KOLEHMAINEN When he brought you and Hertta home from the hospital. KOLEHMAINEN Come with me. HESSU Pekka, I have to say you have a fine car. PEKKA Thanks. PEKKA Kolehmainen, where are you taking us? KOLEHMAINEN I want to show you something. You need to know a couple of things. KOLEHMAINEN All right. Help me, will you? KOLEHMAINEN This is your inheritance. PEKKA What is it? KOLEHMAINEN It was your dad and Tarmo's. HESSU Tarmo's? Who's Tarmo? KOLEHMAINEN Your dad's brother. PEKKA The same brother who left when Dad was twenty PEKKA And was rarely mentioned? KOLEHMAINEN The same man. KOLEHMAINEN Your dad and Tarmo were best of friends. It was the brothers against the world. KOLEHMAINEN Tarmo was a couple of years older. He was supposed to inherit the farm. PEKKA Dad? PEKKA Study? KOLEHMAINEN Yes. KOLEHMAINEN He was always really good at school. KOLEHMAINEN He was going to get a good education and travel the world. HESSU Dad wanted to travel? KOLEHMAINEN The brothers had a plan. KOLEHMAINEN They spent the whole winter fixing this in my barn. KOLEHMAINEN That summer when your dad would have been 20 years old, KOLEHMAINEN They were supposed to drive across Europe in this. KOLEHMAINEN In the fall, your dad would've moved to Helsinki KOLEHMAINEN And your grandpa would've handed the farm over to Tarmo. HESSU But I guess that never happened. KOLEHMAINEN One morning in late May, Tarmo just left. KOLEHMAINEN Your dad told me to get rid of this, and he never spoke about Tarmo again. KOLEHMAINEN But I didn't have the heart to get rid of it. KOLEHMAINEN I thought I'd hide it and take care of it. HESSU So, what happened to Tarmo? KOLEHMAINEN He traveled across the world KOLEHMAINEN and settled in Germany. PEKKA Germany? PEKKA That's where Dad went to get the Escort. KOLEHMAINEN Small world. THE GRUMP This map is a bit old. TARMO What do you mean? THE GRUMP Here's the border with East Germany. THE GRUMP Europe's largest haystack should be somewhere in this area. TARMO Don't you see enough hay at home? THE GRUMP What.Is. Stop just in case. THE GRUMP Stop! THE GRUMP Wait a minute. We sure can't drive this any further. TARMO Don't get upset. TARMO This is part of the adventure. TARMO Road service. Yes, please put me through. THE GRUMP I hope my car doesn't end up here. TARMO I'm sure it won't. MECHANIC The belt is broken. MECHANIC The radiator needs to be changed. MECHANIC I don't have parts for such an old model in stock. MECHANIC I can fix it, but it'll take some time. TARMO How long? MECHANIC A couple of days. TARMO All right. TARMO It'll take a couple of days. GRUMP What shall we do now? TARMO We'll have fun. TARMO I ordered us something to drink. WAITRESS Here you go. TARMO Thank you. THE GRUMP What. TARMO They didn't have milk. THE GRUMP I don't care. THE GRUMP Munich 1972. TARMO I was there. THE GRUMP I watched this with Pekka. THE GRUMP He cried like crazy.I had to hold him to calm him down. TARMO At this point, I walked out of the crowd. TARMO I thought, "Goddammit. Again." THE GRUMP Faith. That's what you don't have. TARMO But when Vir�n won, I thought, TARMO I should've watched this with my brother. THE GRUMP To Vir�n. TARMO And his running shoes. HESSU Don't you feel like eating? PEKKA I screwed up. I put my own and the company's money into an investment PEKKA That wasn't successful. Ilost everything. HESSU Did you get fired? PEKKA Yes. PEKKA I'm broke. PEKKA I came here to ask Dad to lend me money PEKKA So that we could keep our home. Fucking humiliating. HESSU How's Katri? PEKKA She's not talking to me. PEKKA I told her when it was way too late. HESSU Everything will work out. PEKKA Maybe. HESSU I wonder if the Jawa is still working. HESSU How do you start this thing? PEKKA I think you have to press and turn where the gears are. PEKKA Look. That's it. HESSU How'd you know that? PEKKA From Indiana Jones. HESSU Which one? PEKKA Three. PEKKA They escaped from the Nazis on a motorcycle. HESSU Oh yes, HESSU Sean Connery sat there. PEKKA I'm Sean Connery. PEKKA I'll sit here. HESSU Okay, I'll be Harrison Ford. PEKKA Hey.
