02x02 - Five Finger Exercise, part 2

Post by bunniefuu »

ONE YEAR AGO

Is that a work outfit or is that your own?

A work outfit.

Listen...

Have you ever been with
a special forces soldier?

One night with a soldier like me equals
ten nights with a regular guy.

I don't have to listen to this.

Come on... We could meet
up in the back room on your break.

Let me go or I'll get the bouncer.

Come on... I was trying to be nice!

Can I teach the boy some manners? Can I?

-Let's do it outside.
-Okay.

I could never beat up a woman,

but the sarge thinks
you're one of the guys.

Let's see.

CCTV cameras.

Well why the f*ck...
Get out of here, all of you!

What happened?

What happened Leonid? Who did that to you?

I can't tell you that.

I won't let anyone get away with this.

You don't understand...

This was my fault.

6-0-1. Salolainen and Manner respond.

6-0-2, three units present.

Salolainen and Manner acknowledge.
HP has given instructions.


The yard facing Lake Saimaa
is to be cleared of all traffic,


so we'll be able to gather everything.

Unit two acknowledges.

Did you see anything strange before
your dad went into the backyard?

Daddy went to the window.

Then he went out.

And you ran outside when you heard noises?

Did you see anyone when you went out?
Any other person?

There was someone...

who ran away.

Someone who ran away?

Was it a man? Or a woman?

Do you remember what they were wearing?

It's alright.

-Has anyone threatened your husband?
-No. I don't think so.

Anyone who could have done this?

I don't think Seppo had enemies like that.

We've agreed we don't talk about work
at home. Either of us.

The boys, Valdek and Nikolai,

they aren't your and Seppo's sons?

They are from Seppo's previous marriage.

It ended fifteen years ago.

I met Seppo at work.

Maria was born soon afterwards.

Did Seppo ever mention a Russian friend

called Alexander Slavec?

No.

What about... Valdek and Nikolai,

did they ever mention Seppo was afraid?

-That someone was after him?
-You'll have to ask them personally.

-I already did.
-You did?

My graduation party, school of economics.

Some rummaged folders and open drawers.
Hard to say if anything has been taken.

Look for USB sticks, hard drives, CDs,
anything you can record sound to.

All units. Let me know if you're close to


3-7-0. PSAP notified us. The family's
mother will be there to meet you.


Hey! Don't touch.

Crime scene.

-Why use a knife?
-Silent. Effective at close range.

Katia's father is hardly behind this.

He was in jail when Sonja was k*lled, too.

But this victim could have got him out.

The cameras are Niko's responsibility.

Contact the transport agency tomorrow.
I'll contact the NBI.

Isn't this SECRI's case?

Kari involved the FSB,
I'm involving the NBI.

Ask for Heikkinen at the NBI.

Lena. Please follow my car.

Are we talking about work again?

You've said it's an important part
of our relationship.


I'm just obeying your wishes.

I've never had anything against that.

This is about your work, really.

Who knew where Sonja
and her son were going?


-How come?
-So somebody was able to--

-sh*t!
-...wait for her in the woods.

Hello?

Hello? Sorry, I dropped my phone.

Did you or anybody else tell an
outsider where Sonja was going?

I couldn't say.

Neither do I want to.
That's not my job, Kari.


I'm not coming home tonight.
This will probably take some time.

-Okay.
-Will you be?

Yes. I have a book and some wine,
I'll be fine.

I need a favor.

I need a box from the basement.
It's on the desk.

I can manage that.

Thanks. Good night.

Good night at work.

Do we need to worry about the knife?

I might have seen the weapon before.

So would you explain to me
why you wanted to touch it?

I might have used it in Russia,
and this could be a revenge against me.

You have to tell me everything.

I'll tell Katia first.

Everything okay?

I'm not feeling too good.

You've been studying all evening?

-I know you admire Kari and his skills--
-It's not about that.

I didn't choose it because of that.

But psychology isn't your only option.
You have the brains to study anything.

And you came here to tell me that now?

I came here to ask you a favor.

Your dad asked me to bring him a box
from the basement. Could you take it?

-It's late.
-Take a taxi.

MEMORY EXERCISES

Has something happened?

I'm only going to tell you this once.

Listen and do as you're told.

You're going hear all sorts about me.

None of it is true.

-You haven't done anything?
-No.

And believe me when I tell you
to be careful with Alexander.

You're staying here.

-Weren't you leaving?
-Listen and shut up.

Keep the security lock on
and the balcony door closed.

Can you tell me what this is about?

Don't open the door or answer the phone.

Unless it's me
or a police officer you know.

-You're scaring me.
-That's what I'm aiming at.

What are we looking for? Kari?

To be honest, we're trying
not to find something.

-This couldn't wait until morning?
-No.

Lena didn't do it.

Do you know where Lena was
at the time of the m*rder?

-No.
-Does anybody?

Normally, detaining the suspect
would be considered.

Why aren't we doing that now?

Because the knife was brought from Russia.

-This is just what the perpetrator wants.
-Perpetrator, who?

They want to make sure Lena isn't able
to interfere. And Katia is in danger, too.

We can't afford to throw Lena in jail
because of this.

Give me proof.

I can do nothing without proof.

I'll give you an alibi,
just let me get it.

-By tomorrow.
-Tomorrow.

Hey! I'm not giving you any permission.

Lena.

Hand over your weapon and badge.

You're suspended for the duration
of the investigation.

Your ex-boss from the FSB told you
not to cross the border.

And whoever did this
is operating on this side.

They got me involved in this.

You have to leave this to me.
I can help you and Katia.

Give me your weapon.

You know I can't give it to you.

I need it.

-You know I can't give it just like that.
-Yes you can.

If you take it,
I need a reason why that happened.

sh*t!

Was that enough?

Yeah. Take it.

Thanks. Put some ice on it.

-Have you spoken to Katia?
-Not lately.

You could...

go to her place and...

be there for her.

Give her a hug.

Isn't hugging
what everybody does these days?

And try to convince her
Lena hasn't done anything.

What are they accusing her of?

How is Mom?

You changed the subject.

You were worried about your Mom,
so now I'm worried about her.

You've had a nosebleed,
and Lena hasn't done anything.

Mom's thinking about the refuge.

-Your case is messing it up.
-It isn't my case.

-Of course it is.
-I can't decide who gets k*lled or not.

You can decide whether you tell
us about it.

But... who am I supposed to tell, then?

I don't ask you why you keep hiding
the Maasalo case in the basement, either.

I think you better go now.

Everybody's hugging each other these days.

Dispatch center. 5-8-2.

A dog in a schoolyard, Lönnrotinkatu 3.
Off leash, according to the caller.


Mäkinen and Manner, you're closest.
So, unit seven responds.


Why trust anything? I've only spent
about two hours with my father.

-Do you think he's capable of k*lling?
-He told me he's a scientist.

It's true. I've searched the Internet.

In his thesis, he claims that

the only way to
study people living outside society

is to live with them, as one of them.

So he hasn't done the things
he's accused of?

Lena has probably k*lled someone,
or at least done something.

I've done all sorts of things myself.

Anyone is capable of anything.

Can I ask you if you're okay?

Wait.

I just wanted to know if you're okay.

-Is this you?
-Me and my real mother, Olga.

I'm not sure I see any similarities
between you two.

I don't know if I'll ever get an answer...

but now for the first time,
it might be possible.

Is Sonja's death connected to the raid?

You have to understand...

I have nothing to do with
what's happening now.


He made three recordings in Kresty, in
which he testifies about some old crimes.


In return, he wanted his freedom.

Hey, don't touch!

Crime scene.

I'm afraid what they might do to me
and my family


if they start covering their past.

Some rummaged folders and open drawers.
Hard to say if anything has been taken.


DEGERMAN PROPERTIES LTD

The perpetrator tried to find recordings,
but he found something else as well.

Was there something--

The contract papers

weren't on the floor by chance.
There is something in them.

This wasn't...

Let's call it an accident,
for safety's sake.

-Susi, you took pictures of the papers.
-In the last folder.

-What is that?
-The next step.

Good morning. Paul Degerman.

Kari Sorjonen, Serious Crime Unit.

We'd like to know
what these contracts are about.

Our property company's papers, it seems.
Johanna?

These are land deals. They belong
entirely to Degerman Property Ltd.

Anna-Katarina Laakkonen
is in charge of those.

Johanna can arrange a meeting.

Thanks. We'll be fine.

Good afternoon.
Excuse me, but what's the occasion?

The Valtserovs have arranged a fundraiser
for a new children's home.

Thanks.

I was told you wanted to see me.

I know what you're doing.

I won't let you threaten my daughter.

I remember when you started at the FSB.

You were so young.

Do you remember?

I chose you.

It was a long time ago...

so I believe you've already learned
how we do things around here.

That knife took my son's life.

I'll probably never get over it.

I sat beside my son in the hospital
as the injuries took his life.

And you just disappeared.

Without an explanation.

Over here, we see things through.

Always.

You'll get caught sooner or later.

For what?

The fingerprints on the knife
belong to you, don't they?

If anything happens...

to Katia,

you can say goodbye to all this.

My wife loves these things.

I haven't earned all this - the house,
my career, my wealth - all by myself.

I've earned it because I've helped
other people get what they want.

They're not too excited about somebody
rummaging through the past.

You can leave through the hallway.

We're trying to raise funds for children.

We don't want someone
who's stolen a child around.

Dispatch center. 3-1-5.

Kariniementie 3, entry door B,
third floor. Hallikainen on the door.


Paramedics needed, and 5-5-0 for us.

I've been a lousy father,

but I've sworn I'd always bring
my goddaughter a present.

-Can I open it?
-Of course.

-Don't you need a license for this?
-Leave that to me.

Your father probably won't
teach you self-defense...

and a young woman should be careful
in a small town like this.

Thanks.

I'll get it.

Is everything alright?

Is it?

No, but you have to let me worry
about that.

-Is Pauliina home?
-Yeah.

You have some of EU's most impressive
investigation technology here...

and Kari blu-tacks his case
onto the wall.

We let him do whatever seems to work.

The NBI are here to observe.
The case is yours.

Unless the FSB take over.

I'm here on a probing mission, actually.

It's not public knowledge yet, but
the NBI are looking for a new director.

I know this sounds bad, but the
management says we need a woman.

Apparently, we need to look
good on the outside, too.

What does this have to do with SECRI?

I don't care whether we hire a man
or a woman, but I know a good leader.

I came here to enquire if I could
propose you for the position.

SECRI are doing alright already.
The team are doing fine by themselves.

What about results?

A culprit slipped through our fingers,
and we let an innocent person die.

We consider SECRI your accomplishment.

What is that contract?

An old land deal in Nuijamaa,
or Rautjärvi.

I think we did four of those.

For the Degermans?

They needed the properties
for some project.

But then the project failed, and we sold
the properties to a Russian company.

What's missing?

I don't know the best way
for you to remember...

but try going through all the clients
and deals in chronological order.

-You're right.
-One is missing?

It was a commercial building...

on this side of the border,
in Nuijamaa.

The owner was a retired widower.

He was reluctant to sell.

Do you remember
where exactly this place is?

Hello?

The police!

Uusitalo and Henttunen
from your unit paid us a visit.


Why was I ordered to get close
to Leonid Valtserov?


We wanted to get closer to his father,
Baran Valtserov.

You were after him already back then?


ordered the raid in Kuptsino.

Hands! Hands!

The order was to wipe out the drug trade
in the whole suburb. Plus all the users.

It became the biggest...

the biggest m*ssacre
Valtserov ever carried out.

You got me close to Valtserov...

so you could get proof.

And you destroyed everything
with your knife fight.

Did you make a deal with Slavec?

I'm in Kresty, in prison.

I did.

Quite.

You used my daughter as merchandise.

Alexander Slavec is going
to testify against Valtserov.

It's a good deal.

That's why I told you not to come here,

and to take care of your daughter.

-Lena.
-I think I found the perpetrator.

An ex-soldier. Seems to be
connected to your suspect, Valtserov.

-Who is he?
-Olavi Perttu.

I stirred something up over here.

They're not going to get caught.

-We have to find the tapes.
-I know.

-Don't do anything stupid.
-Bye.

Valtserov isn't going to let
Slavec out of prison alive.

I'll take care of that, Lena.

5-1-1. Olavi Antero Perttu, forty-five.

One meter seventy-seven. Possibly armed.
Professional soldier, retired early.


Drives a dark Jeep Cherokee,
licence plate number TXE-774.


Attention all units. 5-1-1, Olavi...

Hello?

The police, evening.

Lena told me to
make sure everything is alright.


-Everything is fine.
-Good.

I was told to secure your home.

Lena was worried.

Can I see your badge?

I need your phone.

You can't switch this off.
They'll panic and rush over.

Your mother is in St. Petersburg.
I'll only stay here until seven AM.

What happens then?

A border crossing point opens.
Give me your phone.

What are those marks on your arm?

I was surrounded once.

Besieged.

Fifteen men tried to take my life.

One man saved my life.

Fifteen crosses.

My debt.

I'll stay here.
You can continue as normal.

Just don't do anything stupid.

You're not going to do anything to me?

Only to those who deserve it.

My mother?

She's done her share.

But most of us are flawed,
one way or another.

I don't know about you.

What kind of an operation?

He's suspected of three homicides here
and more in Russia. An ex-mercenary.

He's dangerous.

It's the corner flat, go straight up.
You go round the back.

Wait a moment.

Police, stop!

Where is he?

Police, stop!

Put the g*n down! Don't move!

Put the g*n down!

Put the g*n down now.

-Stay there! I have the evidence.
-Don't move, put the g*n down!

Put the g*n down!

Call an ambulance.

Yeah?

We were just told the helicopter's captain

had requested a new route.

The plane was just given permission
to fly to Kaluga, Russia.

We agreed that Alexander would fly
straight to this airport.

That's not all.

I shouldn't be telling you this.

The tapes tell us

somebody gathered the m*rder victims
in one place for the FSB raid.

Somebody living in the community.

Alexander Slavec.

He did what he's been accused of.

Alright.

Thanks for letting me know, Andrei.

I can make an appointment
with the treating doctor.

Take your time going through
the options and prognoses.

No. There's no need.

That is your decision?

It is. Everything is fine, and I want to
keep it that way as long as possible.

So I don't want to start the treatments.

-What have you done?
-It wasn't me.

-What did you do?
-I haven't done anything.

What have you done? What have you done?

I'm really proud that in our family,
we want what's best for one another.

And that we don't have secrets like that.
