01x06 - First Victim

Post by bunniefuu »

A cold front from the north
just arrived to Finland.


Temperatures will drop down
to -35 degrees Celsius.


Nina.

- What's going on?
- Get up! Quick!

- Why?
- Come on!

- What is this?
- You must come with us.

- I'm off duty today.
- It's a matter of national security.

What's happening?

Hamari is no use to us
and the Russian girl won't talk.

- She must be questioned.
- Questioned? She's a victim.

- Her testimony is essential for the case.
- What's it with me?

She'll speak only with you.

- Why?
- Because you saved her.

Will you do it?

If I'm dragged into this case,
I will not be your puppet.

Fair enough.

You'll get the reports.

Deal?

Come with me,
we'll get a sample of blood.

Ok. Kautsalo will question her.
Nikander will supervise.

Then he'll just hand her over to the people
who are running this sex business!

You have two options, Kautsalo:
You're with us or you're not. Pick one.

I remind you that our top priority
is the victims' safety.

- Can we have a word with her?
- A short one.

You saved me.

Let's go out a second.

- She knows them.
- And she's terrified.

Can I talk to her alone?

It's my case.

Come with us, Nikander.
We need her testimony.

Thank you.

I crossed Raja-Jooseppi half an hour ago.
No traffic, just a couple of reindeer.

Weather is good. How about you?

Notify the reindeer.
In Saariselkä it's slippery.


No reindeer though.

- She can't make such promises!
- She just did.

- Ask her about this man.
- Who is he?

A Russian gangster.

He's evil!

- Irina, please...
- I won't say anything.

DAD, PLEASE, CALL ME!!!

- Dad!
- Why are you whispering?

- Are you in there?
- One second!

Mom won't let me call you.

She says you left us.
Is it true?

Honey, mom is upset now.

- Who you're talking to?
- No one.

- I have to go now.
- Hanna!

You have a minute?
I'd like to speak with you.

Sure.

I'm sure you thought about it
but I have to raise the subject.

Venla is going to school next yeat.

She requires special care and as
time goes on she'll need it even more.

- I'm aware.
- A school must provide that kind of care...

...but the school in Ivalo
doesn't have the right structures.

- What kind of structures?
- There are special schools for that.

A new one just opened in Rovaniemi.

- Rovaniemi?
- Yes.

Hi, bunny!

Think about it,
we'll talk again.

- Sure. I have to go now.
- See you tomorrow, Venla!

Here's my favorite granddaughter!
Hi, sweetheart.

Go play now.
We'll make pancakes later.

I've just been told in kindergarten
that Venla should go to a different school.

They think I'm a horrible mother,

who doesn't care about her "special needs".

They don't think that,
they just want what's best for Venla.

- Don't I?
- Sweetheart...

You know I didn't mean that.
Hug me.

Good evening. Border police.
Get off the truck, please.

Let me get the papers.

- Turn it off and come out.
- I must go, I'm already late.

Get off the truck.

- What you're carrying?
- Pig feed.

Open one container and
you'll stink up the whole truck.

Then you're gonna have
to wash the whole thing.

The thermal camera shows something else.

- Are you carrying passengers?
- What? There's nobody in there!

We need to check the trailer.
Follow us to Ivalo.

Can I come in?

I'm sorry I wasn't completely
honest with you. Listen to me.

I was overwhelmed,
I didn't know what to tell you.

I'm not even sure what's really going on.

I pretend I have control of the situation
but it's not like that at all.

We haven't been in touch
for a long time.

I just wanna say that you,
mom and Venla...

...are everything I have.

And that I missed you very much.

Me too.

Bastard!

It's ok... calm down.

You have to understand
she's the first victim.

Now that she's awake,
we need to speak with her.

- She can give important info.
- Sorry, not today. Maybe tomorrow.

The good of the patient
is out only concern.

Fine.

It's Nevala.
Evgenia Bielowa just woke up.

It seems she had a panic att*ck.

- Show her the picture.
- I can't. The nurse...

I don't care about the nurse.
Show her the pictures.

I'll be there myself
as soon as I can.

- What the hell did you do?!
- It's just a misunderstanding.

- Sure, you're a model citizen.
- That's right.

So? Were you running booze?

It's always the same with you!

- Just take responsibility!
- Nina, you have a moment?

- Border police stopped him.
- I know. What was he smuggling this time?

He had two Russian girls
hidden in the trailer.

They were hidden beneath a tarpaulin.
It doesn't look good.

He's gonna be charged with human
trafficking. As accessory, at best.

What's got into him?!

- Use a pen, you'll write faster.
- Shut up. At least I can write.

Go eat a donut.

I know you two have been together.

It'll be better if you don't get involved.

- You're sending me home?
- It's for the best.

Keep it up and I'll lock you away.

With those fat fingers
you're gonna take forever.

- Esko...
- Have someone else write it.

- You're disrespecting a police officer.
- You've come a long way.

- Longer than you.
- Will you go get me a pack of smokes?

We don't offer such services,
despite the fact you're our guest.

You better focus on your daughter
and her mother.

- Esko is a little fish.
- You can take this to the KRP.

He's not gonna give a damn.

- Hi.
- Hi, honey.

- Hi, bunny!
- Hi, mom.

- They kept you late again.
- Unfortunately.

Yesterday was Liisa's birthday.
They came to visit.

I had a glass myself.
Let's finish it up.

You do have entertaining friends.

Everything alright?

Sure.

What happened?
Come on, you can trust me.

Where am I?

- I need to speak with her.
- I'm calling the police.

- It's a serious matter!
- She just woke up!

- She needs to rest!
- Please, look at this picture.

Get out!

You should be ashamed.

Nina!

Is this my dad?

No, honey.
This is my friend Thomas.

- My name is Thomas.
- Mine is Venla.

Nice to meet you.

She may have useful information.

Call it in,
no one must leave the building!

There's no one outside.

Cheers.

- You got anything?
- No... wait, go back there!

That's us coming.
Show me the elevator.

We just missed her.
Shall we use the dogs?

- Let's try.
- Gather everyone in the hallway.

Alright.

She's got a green jacket with a hood
and a hospital gown.

She's weak, she can't have gone far.

Search every street, alley and backyard.
Get to work.
