01x05 - Dragonflies, part 2

Post by bunniefuu »

15 buses will be waiting for you
outside Kinoaula cinema.

They will take you - drum roll -
to the spa,

which has been booked for us
for the whole night.

Just so you know: this is what
it's going to be like.

-Ben?
-Mika. How did it go?

-Did you call the cops?
-You told me to.

Oh hell.

-What do you mean?
-Why didn't you call me again?

I did. But that Sorjonen never answered.
Are you okay?

I'm fine, apart from a little headache.

-Was he able to see your number?
-You told me to block my caller ID.

-And you did it?
-You told me to!

Come to my place. Knock on my window.

We have to rethink this whole thing.

Those new dragonflies are bad stuff.

-How many would it take for that woman...
-Emilia.

For Emilia, to clear her debts?

A hundred and fifty.
Depends on the price.

A hundred, if you sell them
twenty euros a pill.

Where will we get 100 of these?

Like I said...

Dragonflies vary. No one really knows
what they should be like.

We can just go to a drugstore and make
something that looks like those.

-Don't do that.
-Sorry.

But we'll get caught.

Anybody who takes one of the pills
will know it's not a dragonfly.

People who buy drugs at a party
won't say anything.

We'll get the money.

Emilia can pay her debt.
And we can forget about this whole sh*t.

Did you think I was just joking?

If you don't get lucky before you
turn 18, I can get you laid.

I'll find someone for you.

But what if it's someone in particular
I want?

I'll make that happen.

Take the money.
And let me get some rest.

Okay, I'll leave you to it.

-Bye.
-Goodnight.

Take it easy.

-Thanks, honey.
-Will you come inside?

I'll wait for this to start working first.

I told your fox to be nice to you.

Told it to make sure you'll only
have nice dreams tonight.

Thanks.

Lumi, this will be our secret, okay?

Okay.

-Hush-hush, don't tell anyone.
-Hush-hush, don't tell anyone.

Mommy! Daddy!

Mommy! Daddy!

Put him down, would you?

For a moment.

Hi.

What a waste.

I'll get out so you can get in.

-He was found there?
-Yeah.

-Was it a seizure?
-It's too early to tell.

What about Mika and money?

He got a scholarship from the sports
federation a while ago.

And he has a sponsorship deal
with Degerman concern.

Last year Mika decided to pay us rent,
although we didn't want him to.

Mika and Lumi are half siblings?

When Sari started to expect Lumi,
we were both married to other people.

It was a mess.

And after Lumi was born, I was
unable to work for almost two years.

It's been really hard lately, too.
We're merely scraping by.

-But you've just been on a trip?
-A present from Mika.

For our eighth wedding anniversary.

He bought it for us.
We came home the night before last.

Hi.

-What's your name?
-Lumi.

I'm Kari.

I know this is a bad moment,
but could you help me a little?

Do you know why Mika went away?

No I don't, but I'm very good
at finding things out.

Would you like to show me Mika's room?

Don't worry. I found it all by myself.

But what's so special about this?

Do I have to tell you?

A terrible thing happened to Mika.

But the thing is...

He lives in your memories.
You remember his smile and his voice,

but your last memories of him can be
scary, things you don't want to remember.

But if you tell me about them...

...it'll make remembering him
easier for you.

And I'm sure Mika would want that...

...since it's going to make
you feel better.

They were Mika's pills.
For when he got ill.

Did a big man with a crew cut called
Santeri Kaminen ever visit Mika?

Did Mika have a best friend?

I always had to get out of the playhouse
when he came to see Mika.

-What's his name?
-Ben.

Ben.

This was a big help.

Thanks, Lumi.

-Where's Heikkinen and the NBI?
-Checking Kaminen's background.

A drug case should interest them.

We have Kaminen's hidden report,
but we don't understand a word of it.

And someone from the FSB
digging around

on the other side of the border.

-I don't like the idea.
-What idea?

If you're thinking of Lena Jaakkola.

When Heikkinen came by,
it felt like we were back in Helsinki.

Dad said you're applying for a job here,
so you don't really want to go back.

Since you're so smart, can you tell
me where your dad was last night?

-Do you really want to know?
-Of course, why wouldn't I?

If you did, you'd have asked him already.

-I did. He said he was going to work.
-But not to his workplace?

You haven't told me or Dad
what job you're applying for.

I understand if you want it
to be a secret.

Kari enjoys finding things out.

-And I play the game with him.
-But why can't you tell me?

It's a maternity leave substitute job.
As the mayor's secretary.

-Do you think you'll get the job?
-I don't know. I hope so.

Try to find your CT scan pictures.
If your food tasted bad yesterday.

Salty. How did you know?

Your disease is so serious it's one
thing you could protect Dad from.

Loss of taste is one of the symptoms.

-Bye.
-Bye.

Hiring you wasn't my idea, to be honest.

In fact I was against it.

You have Sorjonen to thank for this.

I hope you prove me wrong.

But until you do, I can stop this
experiment whenever I see fit.

You don't even have a contract
if I don't agree to it.

Fine by me. Shall I tell
Sorjonen you told me so?

I expect my deals to be binding
for both sides. I don't need any papers.

Our contracts are signed.

-Any questions at this point?
-No.

Good.

Before you can start field work,
you must pass our sh**ting test.

-The handle is a bit thin.
-It can be changed.

Take your time getting acquainted with
your new tool. Get some practice in.

You can do the test later.
Let's get down to work first.

I think we're done here.

Poisoning. Overdose.

Caused by Bromo Dragonflies?

Designer drugs might contain anything,
whatever the name is.

-Lethal stuff?
-Depends on who's taking it.

Nothing in his blood
or inner organs indicates

that he'd been a regular user.

This guy has kept himself fit.

I spent last night reading,
used Kari's method.

The kids' league connects Kaminen
and Mika.

An old dog can learn new tricks.

The football kids are next on the list.

Let's split up.
I'll take Mika's friend Ben Rantala.

The footballers are yours.

Next one.

Next one.

Next one.

Next one.

Next one.

-How about the one that says FSB?
-No! In the right order.

Next one.

Previous one.

-The team just keeps getting better.
-Go to the first one.

Can you move your chair backward?
About one meter.

-How did you know Mika?
-We throw parties.

-Mika promised to find me some bouncers.
-Do you use drugs?

No, I don't.

-Did you know about the drugs?
-No.

I heard that some of the guys
who wanted to play better had taken drugs.

And that Mika supplied them.

Where did he get the dragonflies?

He didn't let me go with him to get them.

He didn't want me involved.

Some guys wanted to reach their peak,
but Kaminen got them off the stuff.

Look at the picture.

Look at it.

Take it in your hand.

Are you sure you can't help us?

Kaminen could have arrested Mika...

...and end his career in sports.

But he wanted to help.
He helped Mika quit the stuff.

Mika told me he was doing it...

...because he wanted to help his mother.

I don't know anything else.

I really don't.

There won't be any repercussions
for those who raise their hand...

...if you ever bought or got drugs
from Mika.

I swear that now.
I won't make any promises later.

Mika's fingerprints were found
in the hotel room.

And still we have two dead ends.

-Who k*lled Kaminen and Mika?
-Mika k*lled Kaminen, took an overdose.

But where are those dragonflies
coming from?

-What next?
-Back to square one.

I don't get your methods.
Papers, interviews, reports.

Kaminen at least did something,
did field work.

Kari?

Someone knows why Kaminen went
in the hotel with an unloaded g*n.

Why Mika, not a drug user,
died of an overdose.

My methods aren't working.
Let's try Lena's way.

I can go to St. Petersburg,
shake things up.

St. Petersburg yes, shaking no.

-We'll send them an assistance request.
-Do you know how long...?

I do.

We're doing this by the book, nonetheless.

Heikkinen?

We'll leave that to you.
Drugs are your territory.

We're done here.
Now I'd like a word with Heikkinen.

You really don't have anything?

I could go to Russia, find out where
the drugs are coming from.

You heard what was decided.

-Go home. We'll continue tomorrow.
-Draw some mnemonic thing.

Did you find out
why Taina goes to autopsies?

Because she likes to!

That's not a reason! Why does she like it?

I know Mika's mother and stepfather
had a fight on their holiday...

...but that doesn't help us.

I know Kaminen had lost
his 5-year-old son.

But that's of no help in the case.
It's just family...

Take the evening off unless something
comes up. We'll continue tomorrow.

In the last fifteen minutes, you've
accepted that I want to go back to work?

Are you meeting the mayor today?

Welcome, the whole family.
You have children?

What's the connection between
you and the mayor, Degerman?

THE CITY IS LOOKING FOR A MATERNITY LEAVE
SUBSTITUTE FOR THE MAYOR'S SECRETARY.

Enjoy your evening. Who's the friend?

Satu-Maria, an old high-school friend.
Do you want me to come home?

-No, no.
-I can come.

Have a good time.
It's good to have some peace and quiet.

I heard you're seen as a way
to keep an eye on your husband.

-But you're still accepting the offer?
-Bygones are bygones.

How can you be able to forget
what happened and be...

And be what? Older than eighteen?

So gullible is what I meant.

Are you travelling alone?

With Lena.

What are you doing in St. Petersburg?

Working.

-You won't give me any hints?
-It's better you don't know.

Have they told you
whether you got the job?

I haven't heard anything from them.

Maybe they haven't decided yet.

Have you found out what job
I've applied for?

Be careful out there.

And you in here.

-You just need some time on your own.
-No, I don't.

We need time together with Mum,
but once she gets a job, she vanishes.

-She'll come back one day.
-We still won't talk.

You could sleep over at our place.

I don't think so.

Of course you're coming.
Ben is the organizer in name only.

All the money moves through my business.
I'm inviting you, and your friend.

The weather is too hot.
This starts melting right away.

I know how you can help me.
I'll take that summer picture of you.

Show me.

Delete it.

It's your own fault it's a little porny.

It's got to have some taste,
you said it yourself.

Not bad taste, though.

-Hi!
-Hi!

-Hi!
-Hi!

Kari's gone to bed already.
He told me not to wake him.

Nice to hear he knows how to take
it easy in the middle of a case.

If he calls you from St. Petersburg,
tell him his boss isn't too happy.

They manufacture Bromos in secret labs.

It's extra money for chemistry students.

Do you have any names?

Does the name Dmitri S. ring any bells?

Hangs around at the Exodus Club.

What about Mihail Lomonosov
or Kirill Benjamin?

You know a lot already.

I'm here...

Has anybody sent us a request
for international assistance?

I'm just showing my new boss
what my past looks like.

You explain it to him.
I can't be bothered.

Cruelty to animals is like bicycle theft.

Not enough to start an investigation.

I'll tell him.

Thank you.

You're on your own here.

If you get caught, I can't help you.

I'll take my chances.

Thank you.

We'll do things my way while
we're here, okay?

Cheers.

No thanks.

-My way.
-I'd rather not drink at work.

If you don't smell of alcohol, nobody
will talk to us. Do as I tell you.

Do you miss this?

Beautiful walls, mould on the inside.

I don't know if it's any different
from anywhere else.

It's just a bit bigger place.

Welcome.

Stay here.

And don't forget to drink.

I told you to stay away.

My husband from Finland.

I admit he's no trophy,

but as long as his credit card
is working, he'll do.

-More vodka!
-Sit down.

Cheers!

To a new friendship!

You're paying.
We got the chemist's address. Drink.

They're lying. How do you know
it's the right address?

Because if they're lying, they'll die.

They came to see you.

Tell me what you know and I'll leave.

Who's distributing dragonflies?

Make some tea for the guests, Mom.

Give me a name.

I don't have one.

Just an accident, everything is fine!

-Tell me or I'll k*ll you.
-I don't know it.

I don't know the name.

A Finn. Came over to get
the stuff last week.

Have some breakfast.
There's food in the fridge.

Katia is still sleeping.

-What's up with you?
-Kari called. They're coming back.

I meant, have you heard
about the job already?

I'll know tomorrow.

Are you nervous?

Yeah.

It's Kari. I know how the drugs
were brought into Finland.

You'll soon be in a pool,
surrounded by flashing lights.

And drunk people.

Your lips aren't important.

I might end up in summer photos. Thanks.

Let's try to have fun, okay?
It might do you some good, too.

-Stop that.
-Come on.

-I'm so out of place here.
-You'll be fine.

In my clothes?
I don't have a bathing suit.

You came.

I had to check if the party
is all it was cracked up to be.

I promise you that.

Get yourself a drink from the bar.
Tell them Ben said it was okay.

Thanks.

-Who was that?
-A guy called Ben.

How many times did Kaminen
use you as a courier?

Four.

Four dogs.

He wanted to catch the whole chain
at once. In Russia and in here.

We did it for five months.

I only did it because my sons
needed new clothes for the winter.

It was just that once.

-Did you get rid of all the capsules?
-I can't remember.

There were two hundred of them.

Could there be some out there?

I don't know.

Mika took you out of the room
where Kaminen was k*lled?

He said he did.

I can't remember anything.

Not a thing.

What else did Mika say?

Somebody called him.
Somebody interrupted him.

Who was it?

Some friend.

Mika had told the friend
to call him after a while,

or call the police.

Heikkinen, take it from here.

Taina! Taina!

Niko! Get Taina here, now!

Kari wants to see you, Taina.

Go to Kickstarter, check out:
"Wildman says schools' out"...

I need Mika Tenhola's
mobile phone records.

Why?

The dragonflies are being
distributed as we speak.

I sold a dozen. Give me a dozen more.

Thanks. See you later.

Would you like something else?

They shouldn't serve alcohol.
There are minors here.

I didn't say I'd buy you.

-Have you enjoyed yourselves?
-We have, thanks.

Mika promised to keep his word,

that he'd hook me up
with somebody tonight.

I couldn't help noticing you at Mika's
place, when he was talking to you.

He asked you, didn't he?

You really came here to check out
what I've accomplished?

Hi Ben.

I was talking about Elias.

Elias invited me here. He told me all
the arrangements went through him.

This is my party!

Yes Ben, this is your party.

But you arranged everything.

For Ben.

But Mika asked you here,
he got you here, right?

No... No, he didn't.

Pauliina? Where's Janina?
Her phone is switched off.

f*ck!

She's mine! Mine!

f*ck! She's mine!

f*ck!

No, it's the other way around...

Sorry about what I just said.

Can we forget about it?

Sure.

Just one hug will make my evening.

One little hug, like I said on the video.

-I have to go. Duty calls.
-Keep it up, Ben.

Get the kids inside.

Nobody goes in or out
without us checking them first.

Find the dragonflies. Find out if
anyone has taken them. They're lethal.

And find a boy called Ben Rantala!

Step aside, please.

The party of all time!

Step aside.

I need help!

Calm down.

What's the situation?

They promised to let me know.

They had to pump her stomach.

Can I get you a coffee or something?

Aren't you going to answer it? Answer it.

Answer what?

Sorjonen.

What is the stuff, then?

My daughter is in the hospital.

It was some real drug they gave her,
at least.

You have to make him talk!

Alright, if there's no other way.

You can't go to work now.

They can't get the guy to confess.

He poisoned Janina.

-But you don't have to go now.
-I'm the head of the unit.

If no one else can make him
confess, I have to.

You understand, don't you?

-You sold those capsules at the party.
-They're just natural supplements.

At least Mika got some real stuff
for his friends.

But you're...

...nothing.

Why would you have or do anything real?

Was even that your own idea?

Are you really going to arrest me
for selling probiotic capsules?

I've got the wrong prescription here,
apparently.

I need a visit to the drug store.

Let's do this the St. Petersburg way.

I'll watch the door.

Do what you have to do.

I'm only going to ask you once.

Then I'll use a different method.
Nod if you understand.

-Did you k*ll Santeri Kaminen?
-Mika went to get those capsules.

He never let me go with him,
but this time I followed him.

When I went in to the hotel,
Kaminen came in behind me.

He had a pair of scissors with him.

He accused me of losing the dragonflies.

I know you.

You won't use those against anybody.
I'm not so sure about Mika.

But you're not like that.

Sorjonen!

Kari!

-Heikkinen and the others are back there.
-I'm not coming.

-The case is closed.
-No, it isn't yet.

I wanted to ask you something.
The last time you saw Mika,

were you here in the playhouse?

Yeah.

Mika told me not to tell anyone about it.

I won't tell anyone, I promise.

Did Mika get ill?

He had these migraine pills,

but he told me to get him the right ones.

The new ones? From behind the trophy?

Yeah.

Mika brought it here.

It got a little wet
so there's some color on its butt.

Sometimes when you want to help people,

you hurt them without meaning to.

Item 32, choosing a maternity leave
substitute for the mayor's secretary.

The mayor and the council have had
a close look at all nine applications,

conducted interviews
and made a proposal...

Why didn't you tell me?

You'd have tried to stop me.

Probably. But you could have tried
to change my mind.

You'd be even more against this job if
you'd found my reasons for wanting it.

Cast your votes, for or against.

Degerman?

Something even bigger than that.

Has everybody cast their vote?
