00:02:11,021 --> 00:02:15,If anyone can look
after each other.

00:02:15,735 --> 00:02:21,Who knows, they might let us go...
reach an agreement.

00:02:38,924 --> 00:02:44,We could have walked.

00:04:43,799 --> 00:04:48,They promised us proper gear.
- The army doesn't have any.

00:04:53,184 --> 00:04:58,Martti, you and Paavo only need
footrags and underwear.

00:04:58,773 --> 00:05:01,We g***t those, too.
- Take a pair anyway.

00:05:02,152 --> 00:05:04,I'd prefer a fur hat like that.

00:05:04,904 --> 00:05:07,Too goddamn tight.
- These are all too small.

00:05:13,871 --> 00:05:17,They should've given me a cannon.
- What for?

00:05:17,917 --> 00:05:22,To have a bit fun.
- Wrong time for fun now.

00:05:23,131 --> 00:05:26,Korpela, it's your squad's turn.

00:05:28,261 --> 00:05:31,Okay, guys, now try to line up.

00:05:33,224 --> 00:05:39,I should've joined the Civil Guard.
Look at the stuff they gave me.

00:05:39,480 --> 00:05:44,Only a cockade and a belt.
Makes a man look like a fool.

00:05:45,945 --> 00:05:50,Here, Jussi, have a smoke.
- I'm not here to learn to smoke.

00:05:51,075 --> 00:05:53,You can learn it in the bargain.

00:05:56,997 --> 00:06:00,You Hakala boys look real warlike.
- That's where we're going.

00:06:01,461 --> 00:06:04,The radio said Moscow
negotiations are going well.

00:06:04,547 --> 00:06:08,Not our radio.
You g***t a radio at your place?

00:06:08,468 --> 00:06:15,You can listen to it anywhere.
Well, old school buddy?

00:06:16,767 --> 00:06:19,D***n, that's my bottle.

00:06:26,236 --> 00:06:28,What's going on here?

00:06:30,615 --> 00:06:35,Russkies better watch out.
Our guys are pretty wild already.

00:06:35,953 --> 00:06:41,Shouldn't start boozing.
- What if they drank your booze?

00:06:42,084 --> 00:06:46,I never touch the stuff.
- There go the Sippola brothers!

00:06:46,297 --> 00:06:53,Think we'll have to eat hardtack.
- Food's not the first thing in war.

00:06:54,472 --> 00:06:59,Jesus! In the Civil War of 1918,
when the bullets were flying -

00:06:59,435 --> 00:07:02,food wasn't foremost
in our minds.

00:07:12,072 --> 00:07:18,The situation is serious.
But this is not war.

00:07:19,580 --> 00:07:22,We are going on maneuvers.

00:07:23,209 --> 00:07:30,Maneuvers are something
we all know very well.

00:07:32,968 --> 00:07:36,As for the negotiations,
I know as much as you...

00:07:37,723 --> 00:07:41,The Russians are demanding
Finnish territory.

00:07:43,313 --> 00:07:49,They are now discussing how
big a part of Finland they want -

00:07:49,985 --> 00:07:53,and what right
they have to claim it.

00:07:54,699 --> 00:07:58,They can demand all they want, -

00:07:59,078 --> 00:08:04,but taking it will not be easy.

00:08:05,585 --> 00:08:07,At ease.

00:08:14,635 --> 00:08:17,Let's eat before we go.

00:08:22,643 --> 00:08:25,Where are we going?

00:08:42,330 --> 00:08:45,Don't win too soon,
I want my share too.

00:08:45,541 --> 00:08:48,Don't talk rubbish.
Try to be a man here.

00:08:49,129 --> 00:08:51,It's good we g***t the harvest in.

00:08:58,012 --> 00:09:01,Paavo,
you're the boss now with Jussi.

00:09:12,193 --> 00:09:14,I guess that's it.

00:09:18,199 --> 00:09:20,Where are you going?
- To Seinäjoki.

00:09:20,576 --> 00:09:23,Will the Russians attack?
- You never know.

00:09:31,962 --> 00:09:34,Come on, now, don't cry.

00:09:34,507 --> 00:09:37,But war's coming.
Russians are terrible.

00:09:37,635 --> 00:09:40,Who can tell for sure?
- It's so awful...

00:09:40,763 --> 00:09:44,There's nothing to worry about.
- What if they kill you?

00:09:45,185 --> 00:09:49,How could they kill me,
of all people?

00:09:50,481 --> 00:09:52,It's so hard to say anything...

00:10:07,081 --> 00:10:10,Look after your mother.

00:10:17,467 --> 00:10:20,Leave it be, we'll be back soon.

00:10:21,221 --> 00:10:25,I've been thinking about what
happened to Estonia and others.

00:10:25,308 --> 00:10:28,Try to save Finland
from the same fate.

00:10:28,436 --> 00:10:32,We're not going to war.
- It's just maneuvers, papa.

00:10:32,857 --> 00:10:35,Just remember what I told you.

00:10:36,152 --> 00:10:40,Well, goodbye.

00:11:01,261 --> 00:11:03,Here come the Sippola brothers.

00:11:31,749 --> 00:11:34,You homesick already, Paavo?

00:11:36,837 --> 00:11:40,Who was that girl crying back there?

00:11:40,925 --> 00:11:43,Don't you know our Anna?

00:11:43,761 --> 00:11:49,Good for a girl: "Anna, I wanna".
- Leave him alone.

00:11:50,518 --> 00:11:53,Anything good in there?
- I don't think so.

00:11:54,021 --> 00:11:56,You g***t my bottle?
- We drank your bottle.

00:11:57,900 --> 00:11:59,That's my bottle.

00:11:59,777 --> 00:12:01,Your bottle's under the school's lavatory.

00:12:01,696 --> 00:12:08,I don't know about
them Russians demands -

00:12:08,536 --> 00:12:14,but I guess it's land they want.

00:12:14,834 --> 00:12:19,Half a county in Karelia, islands,
and the Hanko peninsula.

00:12:19,630 --> 00:12:22,Kind of voracious, aren't they.

00:12:22,675 --> 00:12:25,Nothing's enough for them.

00:12:25,303 --> 00:12:28,Don't they have enough land already.
All the way to Siberia.

00:12:29,640 --> 00:12:32,They better leave our lands alone.

00:12:32,893 --> 00:12:38,The only land we'll give them
is their burial plot.

00:12:39,234 --> 00:12:43,Have a drink, Pentti.
- Never been greedy for the stuff.

00:12:43,821 --> 00:12:45,Paavo, what are you sighing?

00:12:46,116 --> 00:12:51,Leaving's hard for a single man...
gets homesick.

00:12:52,705 --> 00:12:57,Me, I thank my luck
for getting away.

00:13:08,388 --> 00:13:15,We must get a field kitchen.

00:13:15,353 --> 00:13:19,I won't steal it.

00:13:21,401 --> 00:13:23,Over and out.

00:13:28,533 --> 00:13:33,They say we've received one.
- Where can it be?

00:13:33,954 --> 00:13:38,I haven't seen one.
- Did it turn into an airplane?

00:13:46,717 --> 00:13:49,Can I ask something?

00:13:49,387 --> 00:13:50,Go ahead.

00:13:51,181 --> 00:13:55,Can Paavo and I
be in the same squad?

00:13:56,060 --> 00:14:00,I promised to look after him.

00:14:01,191 --> 00:14:05,I guess it's OK.
- I don't know if I can, though...

00:14:06,779 --> 00:14:13,Rinta, is younger Hakala in 3rd squad?
- Yeah, that's right.

00:14:14,329 --> 00:14:17,What about Martti?
- He's in 1st.

00:14:18,416 --> 00:14:20,Put Paavo in 1st, too.

00:14:21,169 --> 00:14:24,What's the difference?
- Makes a difference to me.

00:14:24,589 --> 00:14:28,So who do we take out?
- I don't know.

00:14:29,093 --> 00:14:31,Just keep your papers in order.

00:15:01,667 --> 00:15:03,Well, boys, what's your battle plan?

00:15:04,212 --> 00:15:07,Sir, we shoot if they start coming.

00:15:08,299 --> 00:15:11,Every man has his own
shooting sector, Colonel, Sir.

00:15:13,846 --> 00:15:20,How are you Kauhava boys feeling?
- Just waiting for war, Sir.

00:15:22,522 --> 00:15:27,Aren't we old pals with Hakala...
from the Mäntsälä uprising.

00:15:28,027 --> 00:15:31,I think we met there, too.

00:15:31,822 --> 00:15:36,Bigger things are in store this time.
- What sort of things?

00:15:36,661 --> 00:15:40,Let's wait and see.

00:15:47,547 --> 00:15:52,You think they put Erkkilä in the same
squad to get at us. - I guess so.

00:15:53,428 --> 00:15:58,They say he's our half-brother...
his mother was our maid.

00:15:58,933 --> 00:16:01,I suppose it's definite.

00:16:01,311 --> 00:16:06,Well, you said brothers can help
each other in a bad spot.

00:16:12,572 --> 00:16:16,They were harping on it in school.

00:16:21,164 --> 00:16:26,Sweden will help us if Russia attacks.
- I don't believe it.

00:16:26,502 --> 00:16:30,Who says that?
- Somebody heard it on the radio.

00:16:30,256 --> 00:16:32,What help would the Swedes be?

00:16:32,758 --> 00:16:36,The Russkies won't attack if they
know the Swedes are on our side.

00:16:36,971 --> 00:16:40,The Russkies don't dread Swedes.

00:16:40,766 --> 00:16:44,I'd visit home, if I knew we had time.

00:16:45,105 --> 00:16:48,Paasikivi is back from Moscow.
- Only to get further instructions.

00:16:49,150 --> 00:16:51,Anyway, he's back.

00:16:53,070 --> 00:16:58,A quick trip home... I wonder.
- No use asking me.

00:16:59,827 --> 00:17:04,I'll come and be your son in-law.
- I've g***t no daughters.

00:17:08,378 --> 00:17:12,Hello, Rajala.
- Hello?

00:17:15,926 --> 00:17:20,Don't you know how to salute?
Let's take it again.

00:17:22,433 --> 00:17:27,Are you serious?
- Let's try it. Do it again.

00:17:30,816 --> 00:17:33,Do it yourself.

00:17:56,676 --> 00:18:00,The Russians say they...
