Bad Apples (2021) s01e02 Episode Script

I assume you're going
to tell me why I'm here.
Now you're my sister Onerva.
She's leaving today.
On a home visit. She
goes once a month.
Thanks.
Which one of you
has been blabbing?
My family's probably
wondering where I am.
Thank you.
You sent me here.
I'm not crazy!
Onerva
- Father, mother and
- Two brothers.
Kari and Akseli.
Kari
They're completely ordinary.
Country people.
- Father, mother and
- Two brothers.
Kari and Akseli.
I'm the middle child.
What's your father like?
Fair. Down to earth.
And that is important for you?
Fairness. How people are treated.
Yes. Is that some sort of a problem?
Has it caused problems? To you,
Tuomas, your father or your mother?
Do you interact
a lot with your mother?
Normally. We talk on the phone.
Tell me some memory
about your mother.
I can't think of anything right now.
I'm stopping here.
Why are you here all by yourself?
What if they're right?
What if I'm really sick?
If you're sick, I'm sick.
We're in this together.
I told you they'll label you.
What label did you get?
Schizo? Paranoid?
- Humanoid?
- I don't know.
I remember things and events.
But others apparently
remember those things differently.
And they tell me I'm hearing
and seeing things that don't exist.
Look at me.
Look at me.
You're not alone.
Remember that.
- So what's your label?
- Mine?
Ritva Kalima is a psychopath
and a pathological liar.
There's no trusting this loudmouth.
Okay.
Thanks.
What now?
You will have a visitor.
Who?
You'll see tomorrow.
Maybe you want to take a bath.
Do you like this?
The colour may be too light for you.
How do you feel about
seeing your husband?
I don't know.
- Shit. Do you feel shit?
- Yes, I do.
Don't offer yourself to him then!
Wear the hospital uniform,
so he sees the truth!
That doesn't help Onerva one bit.
You want to look in control
instead of
Crazy! Do you want to look crazy
like a disturbed psycho
who comes home
- What do you want to say to him?
- To Tuomas?
Do you want to stab him?
Of course you do!
I can get you a bread knife
from the kitchen and
"Tuomas!"
How annoying!
- I just want to ask him.
- What?
Does he really think I'm crazy?
Crazy.
Crazy.
Crazy.
Serafina.
You're back.
"But the gaudy gay sea is
the most dangerous to look upon"
I realised
I still needed to come back.
I'm happy you're here.
So how was it?
- Where?
- At home.
I sometimes
have nightmares, too.
When I was little,
my sister would climb into my bed
if either of us had a nightmare.
Onerva
Come on.
Come on.
Come on
Come on.
Good. Come on, come on.
Just a little bit to go.
You're almost here.
- Come with me.
- What?
Ritva!
What are you up to?
Keep watch!
What are you doing?
- Give me a hand!
- Why?
We're getting the fuck out of here.
These jars are shipped in crates
to the mainland. We're going too.
Okay.
You need to ask the
captain when these are going.
You ask him.
If I go with this on, they'll
sling me into isolation!
You don't want to leave?
I do but don't get me
mixed up in anything.
Poikelus!
Poikelus!
Your guest is here!
Alright, and here she is.
My dear girl!
I thought
In terms of your
treatment, this is best.
Please talk freely,
don't let me disturb you.
Your father and I have
been so worried about you!
Aha.
They asked me to bring these.
Do you have enough
food and buttermilk?
Yes, I do.
In case the floors are cold.
Thank you.
We've been so proud of our Onerva!
She'll be the first
university graduate in the family.
So were you pleased when
Onerva left home to study?
Yes!
Oh my word!
That's all anyone
in the village talks about!
And then Tuomas, her husband.
He got an important
post right after graduating.
How does it feel to hear this?
How's dad?
He's very worried
about you, of course.
He has all sorts
of aches and pains, too.
So Onerva, why don't
you just come home?
We would love to have our
dear daughter at home with us.
She'd get plenty of rest there
if she needs it.
Well, of course,
but this is a long-term process
Excuse me.
One moment, please.
Bringing shame on us again!
I knew that Helsinki and the
university is a road to nowhere!
Nothing good comes of trying
to rise above your station!
And here's the proof! Pull yourself
together and come home!
You're a grown-up,
so start acting like one.
You bring this on your poor old
mother! Akseli has to do everything.
- Mum, I told you
- Don't you mum me, damn it!
So where were we?
- We were just
- Apparently I bring shame on my mum.
- I'm so crazy.
- My daughter's not crazy.
Oh yes I am. This doctor
here says I'm really sick.
- Let's all just breathe in and out
- And what were you thinking?
How do you think dragging my wacko
mum here is supposed to help me?
Are you totally stupid?
Look Mum, I'm crazy.
Your little Onerva
is completely cuckoo!
Cuckoo cuckoo, damn it!
Ritva!
Ritva.
- How was it?
- What do I have to do?
- Do what?
- Let's get the hell out of here.
Great.
Come.
Howdy there!
- Would you like some, Captain?
- Like what?
Some juice to start with.
Thank you.
I meant to ask you about something.
You take the jam jar
deliveries to the mainland.
And?
- When are the next crates going out?
- What's that to you?
I was told to pack them. So that
I know when they need to be ready.
Get out of here.
Shall I tell Lundsten
about your business?
Be my guest.
Ask if he'll have
the same order as last week.
I've punched a man's lights out
before. My husband.
You're even more annoying than him.
The crates will go out
tomorrow morning.
Thanks.
- Well?
- On the morning ferry.
Good.
Oh no, they're gone!
No, no, no!
You told them!
No I didn't.
Serafina!
Everything's ruined!
Serafina! Don't!
Erkki!
Calm down.
You took them.
It's empty. Everything's gone.
Do you remember when
you said that we're soul sisters?
I do.
I would never take your drawings.
- I wouldn't betray you.
- I believe you.
Can I ask you something?
When you were visiting home,
I think I saw you
in the door of that old bunker.
Were you there?
I don't understand
- I just wanted my sister.
- I know.
But can you remember
where you were?
They wouldn't let me go to her.
She came for me,
but they didn't let me go.
Alma's coming now.
Poikelus, collect your
things. You're changing rooms.
No I'm not!
I will not.
Either you change rooms nice and
easy or go to the pacification room.
Your presence is too upsetting
for Serafina's peace of mind.
My presence? Are you serious?
You took Serafina's drawings.
How dare you?
Alma, dear.
Keep an eye on Serafina.
No need, the angels watch over her!
Promise me you'll keep
an eye on her.
From heaven above
to earth I come,
to bear good news to every home.
- Glad tidings of great joy I bring.
- There's your bed, Alma.
Whereof I now will say and sing
- Welcome.
- Thanks.
So the guy will
come in the morning
What guy?
- That guy!
- The kid you're banging?
He's definitely not a kid!
He's almost 18.
It's a shame you won't get
a chance to try him out.
What a shame.
- Tomorrow then.
- Yes, tomorrow.
But first one thing.
All the confiscated stuff
is in Alaska's cabinet.
- So if I try to steal her keys
- No.
Let's not jeopardise tomorrow.
I can't leave
Serafina in that shape.
- She'll forget her drawings.
- No she won't.
Well
Then you'll have to
glaze Alaska's pie.
Do what?
Vacuum her lower shelf.
- Are you serious?
- Go and lick Alaska's pussy.
You go tomorrow,
I'll think of something else.
Do I have to do everything, damn it?
Hi.
- May I come in?
- You may.
Would you like a biscuit?
I most definitely want a biscuit.
Stop right there.
- Serafina?
- No.
Alma, move.
Serafina. Look what I have here.
You got them back.
Thank you.
Alright.
Supper.
Thank you.
Lovely.
Lights out at nine.
You're not on any medication?
- Do you already have a diagnosis?
- I don't have a diagnosis.
- Not yet.
- Maybe I won't have one.
- Everyone here gets a diagnosis.
- What's yours then?
- Huge personal problems.
- That's not a diagnosis.
They can't keep anyone here
for a reason like that!
- You have so much pent-up anger.
- Oh really?
Sorry.
It's not your fault.
There's been all
kinds of stuff, which
is why I'm edgy.
It's okay. I understand.
Do you want to do a test to see
whether your marriage is equal?
Zero means it's not at all,
four means it's 100% equal.
And your ideal partner Is being
reserved a good quality or not?
Heikki doesn't eat breakfast.
Alma likes this.
Yes, but you can
keep your mouth closed.
Alma's eating porridge.
Alma's eating porridge quietly.
I'll handle the crates,
you keep watch.
Okay.
- Ready?
- Not yet.
Hi! What are you up to?
- Came to pick up jam jars.
- What's your name?
Tuure.
I owe some cigarettes to this
nutcase, you wouldn't have any?
- Not on me.
- Could you go get them?
I'll pay you twice as much.
I need them now.
- What's your name?
- Onerva.
Onerva?
If I go get the cigarettes now,
I'll need the payment now as well.
How about it?
Okay, that's enough.
- Show me your tits.
- What?
If you want cigarettes,
show me your tits.
What if I show you
something more tonight?
- Go get those cigarettes.
- Okay.
- I'll be back soon.
- Yeah.
Ritva, we need to hurry up.
Why?
I'll explain later.
They're leaving soon.
See you on the mainland.
One, two, three.
One, two, three.
Onerva
Onerva!
Onerva!
- Take it easy.
- What?
Thank you.
- And you're welcome.
- Thank you.
Ritva kindly let us in on your plan.
A neat little set-up.
Don't worry, I understand.
Escaping is a basic human response
to a distressing predicament.
I just wanted to help.
- I'm really worried about you, Onerva.
- It was Ritva's plan.
No it wasn't
and the doctor knows it.
Would you like to hit me again?
Okay, you can leave now, Ritva.
- This really wasn't my
- Miss Poikelus, remember this.
On this island,
every action has a consequence.
A reward
Or punishment.
Come on. Stop it now.
Let go of me.
Listen.
Let go of me!
Let me go.
I won't go
You can't do this!
Let me out of here!
Let me out of here!
Onerva! Come down!
What happened?
Were you up in the hayloft?
Did you take Kari up there?
What happened?
The cow butted Kari with its horns.
The cow butted him?
The cow?
Alright.
Mum.
Mum.
This is a gift for you, Onerva.
So, Tuure, has that ice hockey
coach still been calling you?
No.
He wanted you to go
to practice more often.
So you could make the first team.
- I guess so.
- Right.
Not every player
gets such calls from their coach.
Maybe you ought
to seize the opportunity?
You could stay
with your cousins.
It's a short distance
to the ice rink.
Wouldn't it be nice
to live in the city?
Can't you see
he's not interested?
What do you think?
I don't think so.
Good morning.
Serafina is tending to the apple
orchard, all by herself now.
Could you just explain to me
Why did you try to escape?
Tell me the truth.
If I'm sick, what's my diagnosis?
- Don't get hung up on designations
- What do I have?
Well
Come with me.
What's this place?
The chronic ward.
They're incurable.
- Who are you waving to, Amalia?
- Mummy.
Amalia, sit down here.
May I read your palm?
Let's take this off.
Careful There.
The long heart line says
there is much happiness
and love in your future.
Kuikka!
Delusional mania.
Amalia's diagnosis.
Let's go, Kuikka.
And yours too.
You may go, Onerva.
We have to bear
in mind two things
now that we're starting this process
on somewhat different premises.
First of all, you're safe.
And we'll do this together.
Okay.
We'll talk, contemplate on what
might be the cause of your state.
We'll try out different mental image
exercises and maybe hypnosis.
We'll apply various
modern forms of treatment.
Let's try to avoid the chronic ward
to the furthest extent possible.
And if the treatment
starts out promisingly,
we will make a home visit very soon.
- To Helsinki?
- To Helsinki.
To meet your husband,
with permission and all.
Sounds good.
So
Tell me some memory
relating to your mother.
Can you think of anything?
Yes.
Me and my little brother
were up in the hayloft playing,
although mother
had told us not to
So we were playing and
Good night.
You know, today I answered
all of Lundsten's questions
and was really interested
and cooperative.
I was just pretending,
all the time.
I know what I'm doing.
Onerva
Kari.
