What can we do then?

When it's an adult

we can't even

report her missing.

But she is missing.

When a healthy person

leaves her family -

it's not the same as

literally going missing.

You just have to think

where your wife has gone.

What else do you think I'm thinking?

All the time.

Don't know. I'm a policeman.

Not a mind reader.

I'll make dinner for the kids.

Hormones...

The second I think about

those days I feel sick.

Didn't you want to leave your husband?

To split?

Not once. But murder came

to my mind a few times.

How long do you think

she needs you home?

A few weeks. To get

back to her feet.

I feel for her.

I know that breastfeeding

can be hell.

When the babies get their first

teeth, they're like vampires.

Be a mother's little helper for a

while and then we'll re-evaluate.

Was it so easy? Are you

going to be OK without me?

No way. The whole company will go belly up.

As you can see.

Say hi at home. My condolences.

Thanks. I'll pass them on.

- Bye.

- Bye.

That went well. Really well.

Except I ate a cookie

from the floor.

Peippo? Peippo! Up here!

How do you like the new place?

Pretty OK...

How's, what was it again?

A boy.

- How's the boy?

- O K.

- But Helena's not well?

- Pia.

To say it straight -

- she's insane.

- Helena?

Pia.

She's gone mad?

Yep. Quite insane.

I see. My girlfriend

was at the funny farm.

- What?

- Yep. For over 10 years.

What the hell?

I had no idea. How is she?

Who?

Your girlfriend.

Quite well, I guess.

- Must be tough.

- To whom?

To you, damn it. To her.

Don't know.

How does it feel when your

partner goes mad? -Who?

Your bloody girlfriend. -She's not mad.

What makes you think so?

You just told me.

No. She's a nurse.

She was there 10 years

ago when we were dating.

That was before I flipped

and she left me.

What? You flipped?

Yep. Quite mad.

Ta-dah!

- What?

- Can you see it?

See what?

One day there'll a boat here.

That could be our

mutual dream...

I'm pregnant.

What?

One day.

What's all this hullabaloo?

Sorry. I'm late. How was it?

OK. Lucas ate some rocks. But

the baby slept the whole time.

- Here. Thank you.

- Thanks.

This is a nice place to come

to when he's a bit older.

Bye!

Shake. Straighten. Fold.

Pull. Fold. Very good.

- Dad!

- And me.

Hi, Janne. -Came to see you.

You don't answer your phones.

He doesn't speak yet. Won't need a

phone before he goes to school.

No, you and Pia.

Your mailbox is full. The

newspapers are sticking out.

- We had all sorts of thoughts when we drove in.

- What thoughts?

Nothing. It's only a saying.

When you drive in, you get thoughts?

Right.

- We brought flowers.

- I noticed.

Why don't you give me the
