Finns weak on World Ski Cup opening day
A PATRIOTIC MAN
Hats off, viewers!
Here's the hope and future for Finnish skiing:
Aino Turpeinen.
A new wind of success will blow -
and it will be pretty and fresh like Aino Turpeinen.
Here's your golden handshake. - Better jobless and drunk -
than just jobless.
The Soviet Union's Galina Lazutina...
Lots of excitement, I see.
And we're talking about a female athlete.
On the home stretch now, Marjatta Karhumäki.
No chance. - Over half a minute behind.
Marjatta is eighth.
There's the Finnish maiden.
Aino is twelfth. A poor performance.
What now? Formula One?
There's Head Coach llmo with his explanations.
We had to ski for him in school.
If you forgot to bring your skis, you had to 'ski' without them.
We'll see better runs, I'm sure of that.
I could keep some sheep here.
Liverpool vs Arsenal on Saturday.
Oops! I'll shower at work.
I hope today will be easier.
Yesterday a real Superman was born.
He came out fist first, ripped everything on his way.
The mother will never again fart without pain.
She needed two litres of blood. - Please.
What? Too squeamish for blood and farts?
The blood bank needs blood. You could give blood.
Do something useful. I'm going now.
Bye! - Bye.
My goodness.
What? Am I anemic? - No, on the contrary.
The drop spreads on top if the hemoglobin is too low.
Have you given blood before? - Only from the nose, in my youth.
Peltola.
Rich fuel, you've got.
Hemoglobin around 200.
These high values often run in the family.
How about yours? - I don't know about my father.
He died of a heart attack at 50.
Was it because of his blood? Is it dangerous?
Not anymore. There are new treatments now.
Many athletes would kill for such blood, though.
Especially since your blood type is O negative.
Compatible with anyone, right? - Exactly.
I have an old sports injury in my left knee.
Let's see...
I dabble in sports too. With the national ski team.
Our coach llmo needs reliable locals for the team.
Former athletes.
Sounds grand. But I know nothing about skiing.
I used to kick the ball around. - Can you hold a pair of skis?
I could put you in touch with the Ski Association's surgeon...
If we see more of each other, in skiing situations.
I have a special task for you.
Take these to the Karhumäki siblings.
The ski racks are labelled.
The shorter ones for Risto, -
the longer ones for Marjatta.
Careful! These skis brought home an Olympic medal.
I told you: long for Marjatta, short for Risto.
What are you babbling about?
We've often used each other's skis.
Even in competitions. - It's no big deal.
Two of a kind. They have the same tricks and cocktails.
But so cheap that on trips they share a razor.
Hello.
So here's our new man.
I'm llmo and you'll get to learn my ways...
...I hope. I like straight talk.
Know what dialectics means?
I enjoy a bloody good debate.
If dialectics get you in trouble, find yourself a lawyer.
I give a discount to the ski team.
Chairman Kataja. Welcome.
Toivo.
Hi. - Hello.
Can't you read? We can't have bubbles in the bottle.
If I drink bubbles, I'll puke on the first climb.
Sorry, I didn't realize.
Look, let's start over. I'm Aino.
Toivo. I'm a bit lost here, this is my first time.
I remember my first time. He was cute.
I remember mine too. She was drunk.
Turns out it's good you were fired.
Not if the team is sinking into the sunset.
I never understood where you find that positive attitude.
Don't start. - We're not starting anything.
Your mother knows everything.
It would be a sin not to share that wisdom.
I've had it. - We have dessert, to celebrate.
I used curd cheese for cream. It's lighter and fresher.
It's great to get into a team like that. Plus a trip. - Yeah.
The Finnish-Russian Border
Remember, boys: we're now on a raid.
If we sell all this, we can wipe our asses with rubles.
I thought Finland was a leader in servicing and waxing.
Excursions are always useful, as my ex-wife said.
How's the knee? Was the operation a success?
Sure. They even gave me crutches on doctor's orders.
Three.
Did you visit a pharmacy? - This is a scientific whorehouse.
Condoms are in the bag -
and this stuff will keep Ludmila's crabs at bay.
I'm a veteran of three divorces, see.
Let's go. I'll introduce you to a few people.
I don't like to pay for it. - These are hairy-assed guys.
Hello.
Gennadi and Meelik. Say strastui, Toivo.
You're a new face.
Gennadi and Meelik are our old partners.
We're co-operating again. - I hope it will be good.
What are we having? Champagne? - It's coming.
Maybe caviar. Let's celebrate tonight.
Relax. Don't do it. - Hope not.
Cheers.
Hi there.
You remembered the crutches. Good.
Brutal crabs out here.
Unscrew the crutches and we'll see what fits in there.
Fits in? What?
All you need to know is -
that we'll bring Finnish skiing back to the top.
You'll carry one briefcase and the crutches.
No, it's not in my job description.
You know what?
I hate nothing more than the kind of men -
who say they're patriots and love Finnish skiing -
but when it's time to act, they start to cry.
I'm crying now.
If you don't want Gennadi and Meelik to pay you a visit, -
keep your mouth shut about this.
What are you doing here?
We're all here for national success.
I have one question for you.
Are you a patriotic man? - Me?
Don't bumble. Answer. Are you or are you not?
I am. I'm a patriotic man down to the wrinkles of my balls.
That's why I'm here.
Do you know what paradox means?
My life is a paradox.
I'd rather be at my cottage, -
enjoying Finnish nature and the morning mist, -
tossing pure fresh lingonberries into my mouth.
Instead, I travel with brats and bubble-headed idiots.
But I have a reason.
I do it for my fatherland.
I have big plans for you.
An important task.
Are you chickening out?
My morals don't...
Your morals? Do you know what morals are?
Morals are for the weak.
For those who have no goal in life -
and who need rules set by others.
Me, I have a goal.
The best for my country.
And my conscience, it's clear.
I sleep like a baby.
Don't babies wake up every half hour, crying?
Exactly. But haven't we talked enough?
Let's look at some photos.
Here's morals for you.
How do you think she got those shoulders?
The goal with scientific coaching is -
to get even near this level.
In many countries doping is part of organized training.
We're far behind.
And we're offering you a big role.
Your blood.
Your blood is pure dynamite.
The name of the game is clear:
The better the blood, the better the oxygen goes around.
You can have an important national role in this.
You'll tour with the team. When needed, -
your fine, powerful blood will be given to the skiers.
Money does not play a big role in these matters, -
but we'll offer you a competitive remuneration.
Plus a car, with all the goodies.
Are you our man?
Hi! You're home.
Was it a good trip?
What's wrong? - It was an eventful trip.
I almost left the team.
Left?
We didn't agree, morally.
Morally? Didn't you like the hours?
Are you going to pay the bills with your morals?
Don't, honey. I'm exhausted.
We're okay, I'll keep working for them.
I'd like to be proud of you just this once.
Don't start crying now. I can't take it.
Do you realize my life's full of bursting mothers?
And screaming babies pushing into the world?
Is it too much to ask to have a man at home?
I'm going jogging with Pauli. - Pauli?
Yes, Pauli from work.
Hi. - You're here already.
Toivo. Join us for a jog.
I don't think so. My knee is still acting up.
Bye then. - Bye, bye, bye.
Good. Keep going.
Hi. You're the guy who likes his girls drunk.
Don't mock my tender memories.
There's a meeting tonight. llmo talked about some tests.
Chop, chop! Talk won't get you in shape. - Hi there too.
Small but fierce. Let's see how far she's willing to go.
I won't do it.
You've had transfusions before. - Not from an old man.
I can go. I'm not forcing my old-man blood on anyone.
Don't go.
We have to prepare and rehearse for every situation.
We might have to transfer blood from person to person.
But the blood will clot. - Only after 15-20 minutes.
Let's transfer a small amount from Toivo to you -
and the rest from a bag with anticoagulant. - Shit.
Do you want our neighbours to win?
Many other gifted girls are waiting to join this team.
I've learned my lesson. I've taken pills and injections, -
but this blood thing is disgusting.
Should I leave? - Nobody leaves.
Aino, everything's been tested. Your bloods are a perfect match.
There's just an understandable fish-finger syndrome. - What?
What are you talking about?
Nobody wants to eat dead animals, -
but everyone loves fish fingers.
Well, if that's what it takes, -
I can grow a moustache.
There... humour has always helped in these matters.
Let's get started.
The test went well. Aino was in good shape this morning.
Tomorrow she'll be even faster.
You'll be a great back-up system for us.
A reserve tank. - Reserve tank?
Someone's own blood is best.
Especially if it's drawn in high altitudes.
The effect of foreign blood doesn't last as long, -
but your blood has power and it suits everyone.
Aino in particular.
In major games we sometimes run out of blood bags.
It's good to have a back-up system.
A reserve tank.
And Risto? What's he like? - The silent type.
No thanks.
Marjatta is more talkative, but she's older too.
That's the impression you get on TV.
Marjatta suggested...
Suggested what? Finish your sentence.
She suggested we visit them in their summer cottage.
Eat ribs, have a few beers.
Great! Did she mean it?
Imagine if they visited us. The whole town would go nuts.
Wonderful, honey.
What's that on your arm? - They did some tests.
I'm not supposed to talk about it.
It's fascinating to have secrets at work.
Markku called.
He'll try to see you on TV at the games.
Wouldn't this be nice?
The Yugoslavian Border
Let's take a look.
Alpine jackdaws. Probably spend the night around here.
Fuck.
Is it true? Have you lost our blood?
Yes. Let's hope it won't be found in tomorrow's headlines.
No worries. Do you know what discreet means?
It's the way to handle this.
The ski officials want no bad publicity before the games.
But they won't return the blood bags.
So we're in deep shit now. - What amateurs are you?
I've worked two years for these games -
and you fuck everything up. - Don't worry.
You were given a proper boost before we left Finland.
But I ski all week!
We'll get more. We have Toivo. - His blood is mine.
What do you mean 'yours'? I'm the sure medalist here.
You said our bloods were the best match.
Perhaps Risto can use his contacts to help Marjatta.
And the whole team.
We'll see if there's enough time. It's hard, and costs money.
We'll pay. Let's share Toivo's blood. - It's not enough for everyone.
Best to put all our eggs, Toivo's blood, in one basket.
Do I have a say in this? - Go ahead.
If you ask me, give my blood to Aino.
She can win a medal for Finland with it.
Is that so? This little chick has charmed the loser.
We should think what's best for Finland!
Goddammit, Marjatta. This case is closed.
Good luck. - You too.
That's one fast Ruskie.
Two seconds behind Jelena! Go, dammit.
Galina is like a machine. - Yes.
Our intermediate times are close to the Soviets.
We're near the jackpot.
Jelena is second. - Aino is looking strong.
She'll pass Jelena. - But not Galina.
Aino!
Come on, Aino! Come on!
Congratulations! It was a great run.
Could you leave me alone for a moment?
Sure, sorry.
You won with luck. I'll win next year in the Olympics.
Many chicks have threatened me. You know the result.
There's Risto. - Go, Risto! Keep going!
Risto is... fourth.
Dear distinguished guests, -
Finland has risen back to the elite.
To the top of the world, where we belong.
Thanks to our magnificent female skiers.
We believe that in next year's Olympics -
these girls will bring even more glory to Finland.
Especially if we all work together toward their success.
There will be more money for the association and the skiers.
A toast to Finnish skiing now and in the future!
There's Antti S. Heikkinen from the Finnish Parliament.
I forgot to introduce myself. Rissanen. - Toivo.
My first competition, servicing the skis.
It seemed to go well. Congratulations. - Thanks.
We'll probably meet often.
I tour around, reporting on skiing -
to a nation hungry for information. - Great.
In the right spirit, of course. In the name of Finnish skiing.
I forgot to thank you.
You did all the work here.
The real work is ahead. I want to beat Marjatta in the Olympics.
You talk about her like she's your worst enemy.
Yeah, it's never nice if someone is ahead of you.
But if it's another Finn, it's a disaster.
She gets all the attention and all the sponsor money.
I never thought of it that way. - She has a good set-up.
She has her own sponsors and D-cocktails.
If that's all it takes, I can tell them -
that my primitive blood is exclusively yours.
Really? - Yes.
It would be lovely. - Would it?
You're lovely.
Is that exclusively yours?
This? Sorry. I have no manners.
I spent my first 20 years in the woods.
My only social contact was a squirrel.
I looked at the squirrel from the window, thinking -
should I stone it to death or mate with it?
I like your style.
What you see is what you get.
Somebody was caught for doping.
The press conference is on.
We don't have anything to confess. That's clear.
She was caught for hormones. Dianabol.
It's an old anabolic steroid developed by them.
They should know when to stop giving it.
Didn't you hear what he said? 'Accident, sabotage.'
An imperialist plot. - Right.
Did the testers trick them?
Let's hope there won't be any similar surprises for others.
Here you are! We take off in two hours.
I know. - Two.
I kept my job thanks to you and Risto.
If Galina had been caught, we'd be celebrating gold and silver.
What a noble thought. - You have to know your specs.
When to use anabolics or something else.
We came here to get results and we got them.
It's an ugly game. We'll count the bodies later.
Cheers and thanks.
Two whiskies.
The same.
We looked all over for you. Almost reported you missing.
The police report said: 'Found two drunken men.'
'Do not speak any recognizable language.'
'Not European.' It sounded familiar...
Now that we're back on top, we should behave properly -
or our image will suffer.
You can mind your image without me.
Hello. - You didn't tell me we'd get special guests.
Don't worry. This is a surprise visit.
A surprise, indeed.
Horribly impolite, of course, but could we talk alone?
Of course. I was going for a jog anyway.
I've been thinking... - Thinking can be lethal.
Focus on your talents.
Your talent is your blood.
Did you come all this way just to mock me?
We also came to talk about the future.
Summer camp is on and you're the invisible man. - limo.
I thought we had a deal. Like you said last winter.
You support me.
This Olympic project is really important.
We must give it our all now.
We thought you should be the team's vice captain.
The team's vice captain? - You'll get a big raise.
A bigger car and a few pairs of pants on company money.
I've always dreamt of being a vice captain.
It pays to believe in dreams. This is proof of that.
If you're asking so nicely... - Report to the office on Monday.
To the service of the fatherland.
It's fabulous, darling!
What's wrong? Captain of the Finnish ski team!
It's grand, but you don't know everything.
Maybe I don't want to know. Just don't ruin this.
Come on!
My old body just loves this!
Good, Aino!
Know what? Marjatta and Aino have the same exact time.
Soon Aino will lead.
We must be equal to others in terms of skis and everything.
Olympic glory comes down to hundredths of a second.
I'll give the boys a sermon.
Sermons are necessary. Which of us is without sin?
This applies to us all. - Sure.
I'm just giving my red cells enough liquid to swim in.
Do you know what loyalty means?
It is expected of everyone now.
This is my first pint all winter. - I'd call that loyalty!
Bordering on fanaticism.
Shouldn't you be dreaming of Olympic gold?
Too much adrenaline to sleep.
I can tuck you in.
Thanks for the offer, but I'm not into animals.
This main character will exit now. Good night.
I was kidding. Aino! Have a recovery drink.
The Steps to Victory by Antti S. Heikkinen
Come in.
I thought I'd bring you this book if you can't sleep.
It seems interesting. Everyone talks about it.
Oh, you know it.
For Aino, the winner!
Signed and all...
I didn't get to praise your run today.
Thanks. The first time I caught up with Marjatta.
But I could've used your blood.
I've thought about the squirrel story.
Have you made a decision about me?
Are you gonna stone me or...
You're wonderful! A bull! A stud!
Let me... - What?
Suck your blood.
Hi! Glad you're home. Markku will be home tomorrow.
Was it an exhausting trip? - Pretty hard, yes.
I made a salad for you.
A beer? - Please.
What's on your neck? - Where?
On your neck.
Oh this? Maybe a scratch from the tip of a ski.
You cheated on me! - No, just fooled around a little.
You've been with another woman! - I haven't done anything.
Listen! Stop it.
Come on, I didn't do... - Asshole!
They're carrying out her things. She wants time to think.
She'll come back if she wants to.
If she doesn't, then find someone else.
This has gone all wrong, but glad you could help your Morn.
Sure.
You're a fucking moron.
Bloody hell, this is all we needed...
Let's hope Aino isn't losing it before the games.
'WE'RE JUST FRIENDS.'
It's the politician who writes books!
Aino says they're just friends.
It's what they always say.
50 to the table.
Out of your league? - My left hand is sore.
What's wrong with it? - Nothing.
Too much strain at the gym.
Well, look...
There's 50.
Two pairs. Bitches and fives.
Bloody ace, tried to cheat us.
Toivo! Are you okay? - Better than ever.
Get it? I'm a bull!
A stud!
Wonderful!
Strong!
A patriotic man!
Hi, Finland calling. At ease.
It's llmo.
The Finnish Ski Association has a question for you.
But first I want to ask you: Are you a patriotic man?
Can you hear me?
I'll put you on speaker phone.
Okay, we have here the Ski Association's -
highest strategic and tactical management.
Hi, everyone. I can't hear you too well, but you have a question.
This is the Chairman. The question is this...
Since the Olympics are on the American continent, -
we'd like to know -
if you can help us get some team supplies through customs.
What kind of supplies?
Mostly liquids, in bags.
I see. It's difficult.
I'm afraid I can't help -
and there is a genuine risk.
Many procedures are stricter now.
Exactly. But thanks for the advice.
Bye.
Bloody hell, so that's the kind of jellyfish he's become.
Risto has his own contacts.
He can take care of himself and Marjatta.
We'll send a few batches. Some will pass customs.
And Aino has our Toivo here.
Yes, a reserve tank. Bloodsuckers, like bats in a cave.
They're sucking me dry.
I'm wondering if I should go to the police.
If all the other countries do it, should they get all the glory?
It's not that simple.
If they're all using the same stuff, it's still the best who win.
And the others must have walking blood banks too.
Or running. Running to other women.
Our Toivo... vice captain. - Don't.
And you would tell the police. - It's morally...
I never understood that about you.
We pull babies into life every day.
Some of them bring us comfort and faith.
Some will be champions, some spectators -
who get strength from their triumphs -
and you want to take that away from us.
Should I return to a loser who can't be trusted?
We need a midwife now.
This work has to be done too.
Risto!
Great, Risto!
Where the hell did the Spaghetti-Slurper come from?
Aino! A few comments?
How will your new love affect your performance?
All interviews go through my manager.
Enough!
Well, how ready are you for the games?
It's up to me now. I'm made of the proper stuff.
I'm going for a solid run and my third plot of state-awarded land.
Risto has fixed Marjatta's affairs.
We have a few bags of blood we'd like to save for the relay.
In other words, duty calls. - Ready to serve.
Hi. This is Antti. Toivo is my personal aide.
Hello. - I'm also the team's vice captain.
The Ski Association should hire a bodyguard for her.
The reporters won't leave her alone.
It must be hard. - You bet.
The press is understandably interested -
in such a dream couple.
Do you have a problem? - What? No.
We have a major competition ahead.
Good night.
Do you want some blood?
Bull's blood.
It's a huge hit...
Blood in the tank... Let's ski.
Come on, I'll take care of it. Don't push!
Can't anyone find this fucking joker?
This is what you get from a blood bag with legs but no brain.
Somebody check the room now! - We just did.
Nobody has slept there. - He was OK when I left the bar.
Did he chicken out and leave?
Let's check all the hospitals and public premises.
And fast.
Which bar did you take the ape to last night?
It was kind of a shady place...
If this backfires, -
you'll never be on any team again. Anywhere.
Not even a team of village idiots.
We should do the transfusion soon or it won't help at all.
What shall we do? - We can't wait.
Fetch a few bags from the team reserves.
Justus!
Come here! Look at this.
A Finn again.
Half a bag is gone.
He was found. Passed out in the snow.
They brought him half-dead to the sick room.
My blood isn't running. - It will be, if you just shut up.
He should go to a hospital. - Yes, but first we do this.
Is it safe? We don't know where he's been.
It's safe. You won't get drunk from this.
We can save the other bags. Go on the floor.
Didn't you warm this? - I did, but it was frozen.
My chest hurts.
Aino...
Call an ambulance, fast! Adrenaline!
Goddammit!
What the hell did you do to Aino?
What?
Fucking asshole!
Goddammit.
It hurts like hell.
Hello, hello.
You took quite a beating.
There was no time for dialectics.
How's Aino?
An unfortunate complication has been left behind.
But the after-effects are regrettable.
Meaning? - Athletes are a totally different breed.
Their bodies can take just about anything.
Aino could ski the 5-km race, according to doctors.
But the cardiac arrest took away her desire to ski.
She says her career is over, finished, kaput.
She's not even 25!
You know what 'catastrophe' means.
This is close to one. - Aino won't listen to anyone.
This is painful. - A sad finish to a promising co-operation.
It deserved a nobler ending.
You two had such a special relationship.
But we all deeply regret the events -
that resulted in you being in this bed.
Antti sends his apologies. He's under political pressure -
which led to this unfortunate act.
Antti couldn't come in person. He's at a party meeting.
Aino gave him a proper telling-off.
She yelled so much the whole corridor heard it.
Good. She has a loud voice.
But there are other disasters bubbling up.
The Italians are rumoured to have a new miracle drug.
Erythropoietin it's called.
They say it spikes up the blood values in no time.
It came from cyclists.
They set an alarm at night so they remember to turn -
or else their pulse will drop so low they might not wake up at all.
Strong stuff. - The start of a new race.
The Norwegians and East Germans have the same stuff -
and perhaps our Risto too.
Luckily Risto and Marjatta brought Finland medals.
But this doesn't mean the fatherland won't need you.
What do they say about old tricks of the trade?
They're needed now.
Too bad Aino lost interest.
Yes, you had such a special relationship.
My heart stopped beating. - Blame me, not skiing.
We've known the risks all along.
First you ski and do well. It's fun.
Then you enter bigger races and don't win anymore.
No matter what. Then these doctors tell you why.
You're not winning because others take this and that.
First you have to take anabolic steroids in training, -
then something to hide that in tests.
Then you have to take Test to combat the peaks.
Test? - Testosterone. Male hormone.
Suddenly you're taking growth hormones -
and insulin to control your blood sugar.
Until you find yourself on a stupid -
locker-room bench -
watching them pour blood into you.
And always you're afraid you'll be caught.
And when it falls apart, -
you're a traitor and the media spits on you.
Live with the shame -
or jump from a hotel window in the Alps.
The deal includes keeping your mouth shut about others.
No wonder things get all mixed up.
The rewards are big too.
I've always wondered what happens then. - When?
When things get mixed up.
It's a mess.
A bloody mess, in this case.
I nearly died.
Well, you might be hit by a car tomorrow -
or bit by a squirrel with rabies.
The blood thing can't go wrong twice in the same games.
I already made up my mind.
I understand.
I'm always on your side, whatever you decide.
We're in this together.
I don't want to risk your health.
Thanks.
But I'd still like to see you on the winner's podium, -
because that's where you belong.
And it's possible.
Suck my neck! Suck!
Toivo, you have to go now. - Aino...
Go!
A bit more.
She's off. Looking good.
Yesterday's disappointment has turned into determination.
Isn't that Toivo?
The other man is that lawyer, the team captain.
Toivo is the vice captain.
Quite a title.
Only the hardest work is left, -
the part that makes the sport larger than life.
This is Olympic winner Galina Lazutina -
who is falling behind.
Our Marjatta and Italy's Nicole are coming side by side.
We're just innocent bystanders -
while Nicole skis to success like the bull of Olympus.
No chance against the Italian. - She might not get a medal.
Aino and the Norwegian are both in second now.
She's quite a package.
Athletic, but also cute and feminine.
But no match for the Finnish maiden. No warmth.
We need a midwife. - Hang on a second.
You can start without me.
The Norwegian lags behind the Italian.
But where's Aino?
Aino is after a medal, -
but dare we hope for the greatest reward?
Here comes Aino. She's fighting for gold today.
Will she win gold? I'm out of words here.
This is far too exciting. Ten, nine, eight...
Seven, six, five, -
four, three, two...
Gold! Aino wins gold!
Aino Turpeinen from Finland!
This is a great day for Finns, -
who have far too long seen medals go to other nations.
Today gold found its way to the right address.
The address is Finland, the loveliest word on earth.
Dear viewers, I'm happy to say -
we'll now play the Finnish national anthem.
Ladies and gentlemen, a toast to Finnish medalists -
and above all, to gold medalist Aino Turpeinen.
'I QUIT.'
Where to? - None of your business.
Just kidding. Take me to Hotel President.
The news. Olympic winner Aino Turpeinen quits skiing -
because of new challenges in her life.
She will also focus on her future duties -
for the International Olympic Committee, -
where she will head the youth committee.
She will concentrate on anti-doping work.
Put the pop machine on, Grandpa.
Here you are! We've looked all over for you.
If you serve your country, it won't be forgotten.
Sorry, I don't feel too well.
You're getting a medal, from the President.
For your services to Finnish skiing.
The President will announce it today at Aino's celebration.
You'll get the medal of the White Rose of Finland.
We proposed you and Pakarinen for it.
Ilmo and I got them after the previous games.
Congratulations, my knight.
What's wrong?
Are you in pain?
Call an ambulance!
Ashes to ashes...
Dust to dust.
On behalf of the Ski Association, our deepest condolences.
Thank you.
Our condolences to the son as well.
Thank you.
Your father had a big heart.
It's sad it failed when things were still in progress.
May I ask you, Markku...
You're Markku, right? - Yes.
Markku, are you a patriotic man?
