some plane tickets?

I bought them. I'm going to New York.

With what?

- None of your business.

For real. You can't just go there.

Where are you going to stay?

- I just need to get started.

Mum's got some relatives there.

- We don't even know them,

A little snack,

I was thinking you could tag along.

- F*** you.

My Golden American Express

will take care of the expenses,

You've got no chance

against those black tanks.

You'll be totally clueless in Harlem.

You even get lost in Helsinki!

The road works confused me!

'My name is Markus from Finland.

Please don't hurt me.'

Let's take a ride.

I'll clear the seat.

Hold that for a bit.

F*** all this stuff,

Okay. Are you good?

- Yeah.

High winds. Sea breeze near the coast.

The skies are mostly clear.

The temperatures will range from

a few degrees below zero to plus five...

Have some nuggets.

No thanks, I just ate.

- Come on. The dip is excellent.

Try the other dip as well.

We were supposed to go fishing,

but we'll see.

How about you? Going on any trips?

No,

Hey, what are you doing?

Calm down!

Goddammit!

Do you think I'm stupid, eh?

- No!

You think you can leave

without paying your debt?

I'll pay you back!

Pay your goddamn debt!

- It hurts!

Pay, motherf***er!

- I'll give you 1,500 next week!

Let me go!

Do you hear?

F***ing fatso, open the door!

Come and get your backpack.

Two days.

Did you apply for that job

we were talking about?

No. They required two years

of work experience and a degree...

And you're not going back to school?

Maybe later.

How about training courses

for the unemployed...

There's a creativity workshop...

I sort of need

some cash right now.

'Cos my mum died.

Sorry...

Honestly, I'm screwed. I borrowed

money from the wrong person,

and he's gonna kill me

if I don't pay him back tomorrow.

How stupid do you think I am?

Do you think you can come here to lie,

and we'll just give you the money?

Typical. You people claim you want to

help, but when I really need help...

Go f*** yourself, Terttu!

Social services fail you every time.

- They just fuss over their refugees.

Don't you have anything to sell?

A friend of Vn's brother made

good money with an insurance fraud.

He'd claimed his boombox

had been stolen.

I don't think we have insurance,

Should you call your dad in Sweden?

F***!

Or is he still upset 'cos you drank

the money for your driving license?

Hello.

- Hi...

Hi, it's Markus.

- Nice of you to call.

Hi, how are you doing?

Watch it! Daddy's on the phone.

Emma and Johan have been ill.

Just some virus. How are you all?

Yeah... Look, I was wondering...

How's school?

I could get a summer job for you.

Hasse might have something.
