Natural silk tufted upholstery. Not bad.
And the one next to it romes with market-winning PVS finish.
This is linen and this one silk, -
quality product, made in Turku, Finland.
We were thinking of this one. - Splendid.
Our free burial suit offer is for all domestic caskets.
May I ask whirh one of you was the next of kin of the deceased?
It's for him.
Riia is going to be a widow.
We're choosing the resting place together.
Visa's therapist told us to.
I'm not doing this because Matti told us.
So you're here on your own free will? You think this is normal?
Standing here casket-shopping: ''Nice tussles on this one.''
That's not... - Ever occur to you how I feel in a casket shop?
About the payment? - Credit card.
Cash. - Splendid.
Hey, could you move it?
Hey you!
What?
I never said you were small- minded but small-brained.
Ile, you can't give me a wage decrease.
Time is our dimension.
How long we live is our attribute, -
just like how tall we are or how much we weigh.
I'm not seven feet tall. And I don't have to be.
A comforting thought, isn't it?
What pemormance evaluation? This is a personal argument.
So go to your meeting then!
The hardest thing is to say goodbye to the different months.
When May ended, all Mays were gone.
Let's all say thank you to Ossi. - Thank you, Ossi.
My illness has few symptoms -
and sometimes I feel guilty for feeling too well.
But you're not well. You mustn't feel guilty.
There will be moments when you'll be afraid -
before the Big Unknown.
Sory, this is not my day! - Welcome.
This is Hanna... - Manninen from City Courier.
Hanna is the reporter I spoke about.
Hanna wants to write a stoy about... - A serial.
Mind putting it on the floor?
The idea is to do a set of stories -
that follows one of you live out their dreams before...
The temporal dimension ends.
Sory, this vocabulary and whole thing is a bit new to me.
It's kind of new to us too.
They would be features about one of you doing all the things -
they've always wanted to do.
The series would be a legacy -
for the volunteer's, the person's...
We use the term ''Leaver''.
For the Leaver's' family. - We use the term ''Abiders''.
A legacy from the leaver to the Abiders.
Will the paper cover the expenses? - Within reasonable limits.
So would anyone be interested?
Thirty-five. No kids.
Never got around to getting married.
Emotional Ventilation.
''Emotional Ventilation''.
And this disease of yours? - Jankowsky-Borlikoff Syndrome.
A Faulty gene in the third chromosome.
It starts to code protein that thickens -
the walls of the tiniest blood vessels in the brain.
The circulation is disturbed.
It can result in memoy lapses, changes of consciousness.
Finally the system collapses, causing death.
So you have... - Six months, tops.
But now there are no symptoms. I still go to work.
What do you do? - I'm a foreman at the City Parks Department.
Well then, Visa. Our first deadline is...
I didn't mean... - It's OK.
You should all grab a T-shirt! Compliments of City Courier!
If we set out to do the things you still want to do in liFe, -
what would be the first thing?
Something illegal.
I'll need soil and an accomplice.
They got the mower blades in. Could someone pick them up?
So let's get started.
Visa took that deal with the Squirrel Park pretty hard.
Bureaucrats.
Why didn't they want to build, if the landowner agreed to it?
They would have to hire an additional civil servant
A hundred grand a year.
Squirrel Park was supposed to be Visa's... - Testament.
Hi, it's Vuorio.
About the soil delivery. Could you drop it off tonight?
Then we have the inauguration of the West Center Mall.
Who's going? - I can do it.
Make sure we give them lots of pictures.
Pesonen to shoot?
So, we got that covered.
What about Manninen's feature? - I found a volunteer.
I'll say to you again, what I already said before:
the idea doesn't strike me as a least bit ingenious.
But I support staff initiative.
We'll see whether you score a goal or end up offside again.
Manninen, grabbing a cup of coffee. - Offside again.
You and Ile have relationship issues still to work out.
He asked me if it'd be possible still to keep the good sex -
even if we are separate spiritually. - And you replied?
The good in our sex was all in the spiritual side of it.
He's called me ''Manninen'' ever since. - Never date your boss.
I'm not screwing up this death stoy.
The person I found is good.
What comes first on the wish list? - No idea.
We set a date in the middle of the night at this address.
Be careful! - He seems like a trustworthy guy.
What's he like?
Smart, great sense of humor. - Nobody's that perfect.
This perfect guy is going to die.
We'd have this before the commemorative speech.
Do you have special requests?
The Leaver is supposed to encourage the Abider -
to a proactive approach.
Are we done with this step?
Eveything's gone so wrong.
These final months we shouldn't fight anymore.
You're tying! -We both are.
We never got married.
I almost proposed to you in 98 in Vaasa.
Almost.
Visa.
And you left the moss there?
Perfect. Bye.
I have to go to work.
The CPD doesn't work at this hour. Visa!
Hi, it's me. Can I call you this late?
Hi!
What is this? - Squirrel Park!
The soil's paid by your paper. Gonna help me?
Sory to disturb you at this hour.
She wants a hanging planter, she will have it.
Ever ride a tractor? - Never.
I'm too scared to ask Visa to do any climbing.
I hear you. There!
Take the moss higher.
And smile.
You ever think about what could have become of us?
Harri, don't. - I think about it all the time.
So how's Visa been?
You really can't tell watching him.
At moments he's like not there.
You love him?
I don't know if I'm able to.
No-one should get sick right in the middle of crisis.
You're a very beautiful woman.
I'm sory, I was out of... - Don't apologize.
Just to be able to talk to someone.
Look at my sock! - Welcome to the working world.
Reporters work for their living. - Yeah, kind of.
Visa!
Say if there's any dizziness. - I feel dizzy now.
You do?
A place like this, company like this.
Why a park? Why here?
This was an empty strip of land. Then I got an idea.
We could build a park here as a voluntary effort.
It looked like we were going to pull it through.
But the city can't afford a civil servant.
Without you it would have ended at that.
I got great stuff. - By participating in a crime.
You're awake already?
Not until now.
You know, Riia, I...
Riia!
I know you're behind this act of terrorism.
You'd better start talking now.
Yeah, terrorism. - How did that soil get there?
And a cake to celebrate the coup.
If I find the guy who did this, I'm going to fire him.
As your boss I cannot endorse what happened last night.
And as a human being? - Got any cake left?
It's just that Visa is so real somehow.
Wasn't Ile also real just a few weeks ago?
Ile is the antithesis of real.
Although I must say he is a good father to Topi.
But Visa is...
When you've spent your life listening to guys -
that'll say anything just to score social points.
He has no reason to lie. - How tragic.
Show me a guy who can say he wants to see Paris with you, -
and not make it sound like bullshit.
Honey, what's this Paris trip application? We goin' together?
I'll change printer cartridge.
Honey?
I've been thinking a lot about you -
and how you and I and Topi have become a family.
Ile, you know I love Topi but we're just not compatible.
Paris? - On the wish list of a dying man.
The ad sales are 31 points down. - Yeah, I know but...
I'll give you Copenhagen. - I'll ask if it's all right.
Remember when we were in Frog Island? - Ile...
Well, it's not Paris, but you and I...
What? And Pesonen the photographer. Call me.
She's flying me to Copenhagen on the paper's expense account.
Riia's letting you go to Denmark with some reporter chick?
Hanna's not a chick. - So it's Hanna, is it.
If one thing leads to another, carpe her diem. - Come on.
Riia has to start thinking about the Future, and you don't.
What's that supposed to mean?
Don't you hope that she'll find someone after you?
If you love Riia, you'll give her some room now.
And live it up a little yourself. - Hanna is just a reporter!
Hi! - The hospital called.
Dr Lehtojoki wants to see you first thing in the morning.
What do you know about death? The moment when one dies?
Tunnels of light, out-of-body experiences?
I had a cardiac arrest patient who told me -
he had been up in the corner of the room -
and he saw the paramedics resuscitating him.
He Felt he was like suffocating. And it had gone on for years.
But it took only a minute or so.
He said he believed -
that the moment you die takes an eternity.
If the blood circulation in your brain collapses, -
will you have to live the rest of your eternity -
with the taste of steel in your mouth.
I don't need four shirts for a short hospital-visit.
Want me to drive you there? -I can get there on my own.
Call me if they want you to stay.
Visa! Please, come in.
Sit down.
Mr Ström is here to protect your interests.
You remember our first talk?
We diagnosed you with the Jankowsky-Borlikoff syndrome.
I do.
The hospital bears resemblanre to a central nervous system.
Evey day a million little cogs turn -
and we doctors are just one cog among thousands of others.
Some oF the cogs are the laboratories, -
nurses taking the samples, all sorts of cleriral staff -
ensuring that the documents follow each patient.
How long do I have?
Mikko... - I forgot to switch it off.
Contact information for our legal department.
Yes, but how long do I...
Complaint form for the Patient Safety Board, -
the Patient Rights Act, -
application form for the reimbursement of rosts.
How long do I have!
We mixed up the samples. You're not ill.
Written statement to confirm it. - I'm not ill?
Unless you have the flu. You're healthy.
Why didn't he tell me about there being a newspaper stoy?
Serial. There's more to come.
Visa knows this whole thing has been very hard on you.
You have to think about your future.
I think about it every day.
A vacation would do you wonders. - With Visa?
Or someone who's not involved. Like me.
You'd get to pour your heart out. We'd talk about Visa.
We'd talk about love. We'd talk about Visa's death.
I can't go on vacation when Visa is sick.
Tell him you're going on a work trip. - I'd lie?
Visa needs to be spared from any undue stress.
Let's go to Storkholm.
The farthest I've gone on a work trip is the Conference Center.
Tell him it's out of town. You need to let go a little.
We need milk for you. I'll run over to the store.
You don't have to. - I can't slack off with everything.
Riia!
She went to the store. - I'm healthy.
What if the hospital's made a mistake?
They made the mistake with the diagnosis, not now.
You tell Riia, she goes into shock, -
then she gets all happy, and then boom...
You find out you're ill, a Fter all.
I'm healthy and I have a statement to prove it!
Where did I... White envelope.
Lucky for you you lost it. If you're healthy, -
that reporter chick won't take you to Copenhagen.
If you tell her the truth she won't write her piece.
And if you tell Riia, she won't let you go.
But that's not why I...
When did you made a trip with a chick?
And this already came out.
What's going to happen to Hanna? What will her bosses say?
We must break the news incrementally.
You'll make the trip, but you'll tell Riia that...
It's a treatment the Danes have been successful with.
Does it mean you have a chance of recovey? - A good one.
Let's get to work, Visa.
You can't start talking about a miracle recovery yet!
But I am getting well.
But we'll have to plan the process very carefully.
Drop me off at the City Courier.
Oh, hi! Let's go there.
That piece of yours thatjust came out.
Wasn't it a beautiful intro?
The next parts will be on you making your dreams come true.
What if a reporter did a stoy like that -
and then the subject wanted to pull out? - Why?
Well, say the sickness was a misunderstanding.
If it were me writing, I'd be fired on the spot!
Why do you ask? - I'm interested in reporter's work.
The hotel is Scandic Webers.
You and Pesonen are sharing a room.
About that treatment trip. - I have a feeling it'll work.
I have to go on a work trip that same weekend.
You never go on work trips.
It's an ozone whitening seminar for dental nurses.
And I've never taken the pendolino train.
Sory.
Harri! Going on a trip somewhere?
Absolutely not.
A hobby of mine. Spotting planes.
I didn't know that. - Took it up recently.
Wasn't your Flight in the afternoon?
The double-booked our flight. We take an earlier one.
I've got to use the bath.
Have a cell I could use? My wife's in labor.
We've been tying to have a baby for five years -
and finally our prayers have been answered.
But it's taking hours and Maria is getting weak.
I'd like to call her at the maternity
Riia, it's Harri.
I borrowed someone's phone. It's an emergency.
I've got to go looking for Hanna.
You can drop them off in front of the house.
The oak runs for the house.
You can't go to the toilet in peaCe.
It's a boy! Thank you.
Visa! I have a confession to make. - What?
It was I who stole your Arsenal ball. - What?
The one that disappeared from the Brahe field in '85.
It wasn't the big guys, it was me. Forgive me.
Sure. It must have bothered you.
You have no idea how much. Let's go For a coffee.
I'll get us those coffees. - I should be...
Ten euro -
if you go to that lady in white jacket.
Give her this message: ''Meet you on the plane''.
Twenty.
Hey, Hanna's over there!
Next to that guy with long hair. I want you to meet her.
There's an important thing I need to tell you.
Like the Arsenal ball? - You're my best friend.
You're my best friend too, but I should be on my way.
My best friend Harri. We ran into each other by chance.
Hanna, from the City Courier.
Nice to meet you.
Harri is here for some plane spotting.
I wrote a piece about plane spotters.
What was that organization of yours called again?
Our Winged Friends. - Was it?
There's a plane taking off. See you.
That photographer guy is not coming? - Pesonen...
Excuse me.
What was that?
Let's forget about home for now and have some fun!
I do hope that the mother and child are well!
Where's Pesonen?
What?
Should you be drinking alcohol? I mean, with your medication
It's not that kind of medication.
I'm glad.
When are you planning to run that Squirrel Park piece?
Right a Fter this one.
Think we could put it off a little?
I'm still an employee of the Parks Department.
You don't want to get grief from your bosses?
Exactly. - How about we agree that I'll run it last?
That would be great.
I'm sory you had to share a room with Pesonen.
I tried to get us own rooms, but the budget's pretty tight.
We'll get along fine.
What should we drink to? - To life.
l'Chaim! -Yeah, that too.
He was so boyish when we met. We used to laugh a lot.
But in the course of the years he became so serious.
Or how should I put it... indifferent.
Do you understand? - I so understand.
We can't do this.
I couldn't help it. I'm in love.
You're Visa's best friend. - Visa knows it.
What? -That I'm in love with you.
Visa knows? - He's happy that you have someone.
He's worried that you'll be alone.
It's so like Visa to always think about other people.
Please don't tell him that I told you.
It would be embarrassing for us all.
Men. You're so pent-up. - You got that right.
Seems it's bedtime. - I guess so.
Good night.
Get the hell out of here, Vuorio!
Excuse me.
Pesonen has a guest.
Should I change hotels? - Let's wait till the woman leaves.
Pesonen can't go on all night entertaining his guest.
Congratulations. - Thanks.
We're adults. This is a twin bed.
You mean that... - Unless you find it offensive.
No, no.
Which side do you want? - This one.
I'm just going to the bathroom.
You don't want it.
You heard?
I've thought about this so many times.
I've asked myself:
Is it a crime to give another person pleasure?
I think it is not.
I don't want Visa to, even if he's happy for me...
You don't want him to feel jealous so close to the end?
Yes. - We won't tell him anything more.
In a way this is only equal.
He's on his way to leave me.
And I am looking for new directions for my life.
Seek and you shall find.
Visa? Are you asleep?
You have a guy in your bed -
and you're calling me to ask what to do.
Are you high on something?
I'm falling in love with him, and it's all wrong.
The relationship has no future.
Easy to say when you're not lying next to him.
Can you make sure that Squirrel Park piere doesn't go yet?
Did I wake you up? - It's okay.
I'll fall back asleep. - Me too.
Hi!
Greetings from Tampere!
You remembered! - So did you.
Now we're not going to leave these... - By the car window.
How did they treat you? - Who?
In the hospital. In Denmark. - I feel stronger already.
They didn't want to operate? - It was more external.
How were the ozones? -Ozones?
For whitening teeth.
Interesting new methods.
The future looks bright. Teethwise.
Visa.
Thanks for the thoughts you've been having about my future.
Thoughts? - You have a big heart.
I'm going to tell you something that will come as a shock.
Riia Kaarela. Excuse me?
Yes, he is, hold on. From Daily Finland!
Visa Vuorio.
I am.
What stoy?
Visa is a model case of what the degrieving technique can do.
Even in face of the inevitable my clients are Full of energy.
And the occasion would be...
The Good Harvest Festival. Evey group of ours has one.
It would be great if you wrote about it.
It's for the writer to decide. - Obviously.
I've been thinking of running advertisement in your paper.
How many millimeters? - 15.600 euro a year.
This is an important and touching subject.
I'm sure the writer will also be interested in that...
Good Harvest Festival.
Our whole editorial staff has greeted the theme.
You put it in this issue when I told you not to!
Hanna, I... - It was supposed to be published last!
I hate you!
We also do the Amiable Workplace seminar.
You haven't mentioned it to me. What Squirrel Park?
I wanted to surprise you. - Who's this Hanna Manninen?
Hanna is an elderly reporter.
Riia, I'm healthy.
One treatment session and you're cured?
Dr Lehtojoki told me that they had got their samples mixed up.
I even got a written statement about it, but I lost it.
You got a statement and lost it.
And then you traveled to Denmark for treatment?
This is all Harri's fault!
Remember the phases of sorrow? Wasn't ''blaming" one of them?
No, denial, hate, bargaining, depression and acceptance.
It was Harri's idea that I...
Harri only wants what is best for you.
I want what is best for you. - This is the best. I'm well.
I'm not getting into this. For both of our sake.
How're we doing here? - He's in the denial phase.
Not until now? - ] thought we were already in depression.
Could be a temporary relapse.
Or a collapse of the blood circulation in the brain.
If it's a delicate situation, perhaps I shouldn't impose.
But you're his therapist.
These are rather personal issues.
I bought you an invitation to the Good Harvest Festival.
Thank you. - You wouldn't happen to have -
anything at work that could be used as a prize in the raffle?
I tried to call you but your phone wasn't answering.
I turned it off when the reporters started calling.
Ile ran the piece against my will. - Okay.
I'm so sorry.
I'd hate to cause you any additional grief.
I doubt this'll turn into anything big.
Visa Vuorio's last day at work is next Monday.
Visa is a dying man. You can't just fire him.
How many months have you got? - Hard to say.
Less than six months. And you fire him.
My father used to say:
''The law was born before my time, and will survive my days.''
That's what we're going by now. The law.
As a supervisor I do understand Lampela, -
but as a person, I'm outraged.
The boys in the union will raise hell over this.
The dispute that started in this lot in Roihuvuori, -
threatens to assume ever new dimensions.
The Union of Public Service Workers has announced -
that it will organize a nationwide work stoppage -
if the discharge is not renounced.
According to the Chair of the Union -
the controversy cuts into the heart of the nation.
You told me to lie that I was still ill.
You need a little management. - I have to tell the truth.
Hanna will think you just used her to get publicity.
As a writer of phony stories, she'll lose herjob.
The Union guys will be a public laughing stock.
Don't get healthy until the dust has settled.
Aren't you that dying man? Can I have your autograph?
I can't take this. - Too much fame at too young an age?
The Vuorio case has become important for the community.
We should bring up the ethics angle at the Union event.
The Good Harvest Festival is an intimate ocrasion.
I'm sure the two points of view are compatible.
What about the catering?
We've operated on a voluntay basis, -
but this is gonna be way out of that league.
We have a partner. - Elysium Restaurants.
The owner has a DUI charge pending, -
so this would get him positive coverage.
But the point is the human being.
The Leavers, the Abiders.
A spiritual clearance for the departers.
Union songs will go well with that stuff.
City Courier will sponsor Visa's Good Harvest Festival.
You cover and Pesonen photographs the celebs.
What do I have to thank for this favor?
The Visa feature was yours and this has grown big.
There's a new seafood restaurant in Porvoo.
If you're interested, we could go check it out.
I'm supposed to go on a date for getting the gig?
We were looking at holiday photos with Topi.
You remember the restaurant in Puerto del Carmen -
where Topi had those topped ice-creams.
It'd be nice to have some decent seafood again.
Let's not complicate this now.
We'll do something nice together, Topi.
Fireworks at ten.
Thirty-seven of our prospects have confirmed.
Five of them big fish, two whales.
And the ad sales crew know their marks? - Yeah.
The celebs? - Enough for us to dump the wannabes.
Ilkka! - What's he after now?
How can I help you?
The workers have invited their spokesmen and the TV news.
See that stage, -
the buffet, the decorations.
All this is possible because we're in this together.
But all the rally speeches and...
The Union is the locomotive, we are the cars.
We'll throw the Leavers a party they're unlikely to forget.
But ]'ll be the only one speaking on the stage.
Absolutely. And Visa.
We must get going. - Why should I attend? I'm well.
They've put together a big thing just for you.
You still don't believe me?
I promised to bring some prizes.
I have something important to tell you. Could we meet?
But we're going to see here.
Pesonen! Mikko Kuustonen!
Of course you're coming, the Man of the hour!
I've work to do.
Let's go.
You can't go dressed like that.
I'll drive.
Can you lend me a hand ?
Over there! Visa!
Go get Puskala. Visa's ready!
Let's get him to the shooting site.
The Union Chairman will shake hands with you.
Supporting a sick man harassed by the employer.
Hey, c'mon.
You can put the bosses on their knees just by sitting down.
You have given a face -
to the struggle for a more working environment.
Thank you, Visa Vuorinen. - Vuorio.
Excuse me? - Vuorio, not Vuorinen.
All the best for you.
What message would you like to send -
to so-called healthy people?
That life goes on.
Welcome to the Good Harvest Festival.
A human being is like a plant:
We extract energy from our habitat.
And when it's time to wither, -
we pass on what we have received.
I hope that eveyone of you will end this evening with rertainty:
I have given something to...
We're one of the largest special interest groups in Finland.
Your therapy group?
Persons of Non-Expansive Life Expectancy.
There are quite many of us. Some unwittingly.
Thanks for the interview. Pesonen! Get a picture!
Mikko Kuustonen? - No.
I have news For you. - Daily Finland offered me a job!
I'll give my notice. Goodbye Shitty Courier.
And it's all thanks to you.
Visa!
I'll have the raffle prizes.
Who was that? - We live together.
She's your wife? You lied to me?
You asked if I had kids and if I was married, -
and I said no to both.
Hanna... - I am working now.
Next winner gets ozone whitening for teeth.
Who has number 33?
Why didn't you tell me about the wheel chair?
The Union Boys had the idea.
You didn't tell Hanna about you being well?
I tried but I failed.
You can't afford to start playing honestjoe.
Food looks good.
Who has the number 28?
Who was she?
Hanna Manninen.
The elderly reporter? - Yes.
That treatment in Copenhagen. - Nothing happened.
Who cares?
I'm not angry. - No?
You wanted to experienre something new.
After Harri told you. - Told me what?
About his feelings for me. - Come again?
I would like for our celebrity Visa -
to come up here.
I'd remember if Harri told me he was in love with you.
Visa, if you may.
Give a small hand to a big man!
There's one thing I want you to know. The truth.
I'm not ill, Hanna. - Shit!
I want to be honest. I'm healthy.
I'm sory about this whole mess.
What Visa means is -
that we are all as healthy as we Feel we are.
Let's give Visa a round of applause.
And now let's welcome on stage Ossi's band.
You didn't tell him about being in love with me.
Did you tell him what happened in Stockholm?
And did Visa tell you that he spent a night -
in the same bed with that reporter?
Visa's blood circulation is failing in the brain, -
so his delusions of rerovey I can understand.
You're a pertectly healthy and you lie to me!
We'd like to do a song to one special person.
I found out a few days before our trip to Copenhagen.
You already knew that you were well?
I'm very happy For you.
You'll build parks and have children.
I know this is putting you in a tight spot.
Nothing compared to the fact that some of the people here -
won't live to see next summer.
Support For Cancer Patients want a photo op with you.
For nationwide distribution.
Riia!
Wait!
I love you.
Hanna, let's talk.
I'm healthy, I'm in love with you.
Give me... give us a chance.
After what you did over there. - Did what?
Used your illness for Trade Union propaganda.
As a journalist I should expose your lies.
So let's come clean. - What?
Let's tell the truth.
I'll lose myjob. And reputation. - Likewise.
What is there to life -
if not dying kills you professionally and spiritually?
There's nothing standing in the way.
Of what? - Us.
You and who? - Us.
Us?
Nothing to stop us.
Meaning?
Riia and I are pretty much separated.
I've been separated plenty of times -
but never pretty much separated.
It's one of those interim stages between an old an a new life.
Or do you have something standing in the way?
When you thought you were dying, -
why did you start building Squirrel Park?
Because it's a park.
They are full of force, energy and passion.
A will to claim evey available niche for -
that all conquering complexity of forms, shapes and textures -
that cannot be restricted by any formula.
The all-prevailing verdure slaying eveything -
that is small, gray and invisible.
Verdure?
The beauty of growing vegetation.
And I'm the writer?
I've lived my life as if I owed eveybody something.
But parks are my own thing.
The answer to your question is no.
Nothing stands in the way.
You've reached Ilkka Moilanen. Please leave a message.
Hi, it's me. I tried to write you a note, -
but I just couldn't find the right words.
It would be wrong not to be honest with you.
I can't say this to you over the phone.
When you get the message, get in touch.
You have a visitor. Visa Vuorio's spouse.
Usually we have a fruit plate, -
but the advertising sales took a dive recently.
Thanks, I'm fine.
Eveything that's happened -
has been a conscious choice on Visa's part.
What do you know about the Jankowsky-Borlikoff syndrome?
It's a disease of the veins in the brain.
The small blood vessels grow thicker, -
which blocks the flow of blood to the cortex.
Vey interesting.
Leading to a collapse of cognitive functions.
Sensoy delusions. Dementia. - But Visa isn't sick.
That is one of the delusions caused by the disease.
Visa told you that the doctors misdiagnosed him?
Anyone can tell byjust looking that he's well.
These are all part of the symptoms.
Maybe you're jealous, -
but why can't we deal with this like two grown women?
No, I've had relationships.
I'm telling you this from one woman to another.
Don't play along the Fantasies caused by his sickness.
On Jankowsky-Borlikoff.
You're a reporter. You dig out more.
I wish you all the best.
I hope your rantings about the truth -
were what I took them For cold feet.
The last few weeks...
Eveything you believe in, vanishes into the air.
I'm your rock.
Why don't you take the day off?
We could go to that restaurant in Porvoo tonight.
I don't know.
No hidden agendas.
You and I, a pemect dinner. I'm paying, not the paper.
Maybe. - No maybes but a...
Yes.
It's a yes!
I love Hanna. I'm moving in with her.
We haven't anything in Common any more.
I told Hanna about your illness.
She knows I'm well.
I told her you have entered the symptomatic stage.
That you're having delusions and think you're not sick.
You would stoop that low?
I don't want you to harm other people.
You believed her? - I read about it.
I got a written statement from the doctor.
Show it to me. - I lost it.
I'll get a new one for you.
Dr Lehtojoki has started his varation.
Do you have a phone number or address?
I'm not at liberty to tell. Maybe someone else could help.
The hospital's legal counsel Ström? Young, dark guy?
The only Mikko Ström is an IT support offirer.
But you have my file there. I need a doctor's certificate.
Dr Tarvainen has a cancellation.
You have Jankowsky-Borlikoff syndrome? - Had.
You got your samples mixed up. I'm perfectly well.
Not arcording to your chart. - The chart's not up to date.
We have a real-time filing system.
I got a paper from Dr Lehtojoki saying that I'm healthy.
You have to wait for him to return to work. - Yes, but...
You are aware that the patient may experience delusion?
I'm healthy!
Excuse me, is Dr Lehtojoki in? - He's on vacation.
You wouldn't happen to have his home address?
Raimo and I used to be colleagues.
He's got a nice place in Haukilahti, -
near that panoramic restaurant.
Is your Father at home? - Raimo just left for the boat.
Lehtojoki! Raimo!
Wait!
Hanna!
Where's Hanna? - Making the biggest mistake of her life.
She's in vulnerably depressed state of mind.
Ile is about to propose to her.
Where did you get that idea? - Female intuition.
He bought a diamond ring.
Where are they? - I've no idea.
Riia!
I really love you! - You have an odd way of showing it.
I wasn't lying. Visa knows about us.
It's a question of you not having the balls to be honest.
Riia, please... - A relationship is based on trust.
She threw you out already?
Where's the gas station card? I need to Fill up.
You're not driving, are you? In your condition.
I can prove that I'm well. But not right now.
Visa! - later!
I have to ask something. - I'll go to the toilet.
I called about those violin players.
Could you make sure they come through the backdoor?
To make it a surprise. -I'll see to it.
Visa! Pull over!
What the hell are you doing? We could have both died!
Why did you tell Riia? - Tell her what?
That I didn't tell you about my feelings for her!
I don't have time for this!
I would have expected some solidarity from my best friend!
Drive me to Porvoo.
Hanna is there.
Hanna and Visa's problems! We're going back to Riia -
and you're going to tell her that I didn't lie to her!
So here we are. You and me in Porvoo.
Romantic restaurant.
I've always got less and second grade compared to you.
Now I finally have a chance to be with a real woman.
Drive me to Porvoo! - No!
I've got half an hour. Ile is about to propose to her.
Looks like we'll both end up without a woman.
Have you ever been in a situation -
where a person is in the same building with you, -
and you can't see them, but you know they're nearby.
Just recently.
You just feel the other person's presence.
I have a sensation -
that something unforgettable is going to happen.
Where're you headed? - Porvoo.
We got room in here. If it's OK with the missus.
Would it be possible to drive just a little bit faster?
Ma hasn't driven in ten years.
Now she has to after my operation. I'm not allowed.
Would it help if I drove?
I've got one foot in the grave, -
and the doctors haven't given me much hope, -
but here we are.
You shouldn't bother a young man with that.
Young man like you has no interest in illness.
How about coffee and donuts?
No thank you, I'm in a hury.
Put the pedal to the metal, Ma!
What's the problem?
Roberto snap string. We no play off tune.
Will it take him long? - Two, three minutes.
Take the next left. - I can't turn there.
The restaurant is there.
Ma doesn't like to turn at intersection without lights.
We drop you off here.
I told you it was a romantic place.
No!
It's time to take you in.
Jankowsky-Borlikoff syndrome.
I brought you some flowers. I had to get another vase.
Riia? - Visa! You spoke.
Don't try to talk.
I must call Hanna.
Visa, it's over. [ guess you've got to hear this.
My fault for telling him.
Let's get you back in bed.
Hanna is getting married to Ile. I have to stop it.
I'll stay the night, now I'll have to go home.
Is there something you need me to bring?
You had a failure in the blood circulation of the brain.
I'm not sick.
You wrote me a statement.
Memoy fabrications -
are consistent with Jankowsky-Borlikoff.
You just make sure I don't ruin Hanna's wedding!
You need to rest. A new fit could well be your last.
In the German church.
Mikko Strom from the IT department.
We can finish this now.
It's time to take you in. - Right now?
The MRI showed local lesions on the cerebral cortex.
They will cause varying states of decreased consciousness.
Dear friends. Today, we have gathered -
to witness the marriage of Hanna and Ilkka.
Marriage between man and woman -
is a holy sacrament, -
and the fulfillment of pure love between two people.
Hanna. -What's he doing here?
I'm ill.
There are things I can't remember -
or I have blocked out.
But I know that you're the person -
I want to spend the rest of my life with.
It might be just a week or two, -
but isn't life always too short for everyone?
You just snap your fingers and it's gone, -
and you ask yourself: did I choose right?
Did I love the right person?
If you turn back, I'll leave and you'll never see me again.
If not, I am here.
Visa!
Help!
Who was Visa Vuorio?
A Parks Department guy who died.
He went real young. - Hope there was life before death.
