01x09 - Good Samaritans

[bunniefuu]

-Morning.
-Hi.

Who was this man, Antti Veikkamo?

A researcher
at VTT Technical Research Center.

He studied a material developed by Tempo.

Alex called ?

-Where is he?
-At home.

-Who the hell let him go?
-They did because he made the call.

How long did he hang there?

Rigor mortis had started to dissipate,

so at least hours.

I went to his house to meet him.

Why on Sunday? Why his home?

Because he wouldn't answer my calls.

When was the last time you saw him?

Friday, after the City Council meeting.

He claimed that wind turbine blades
made of VCON-

weren't durable enough.

-Bad news for you, huh?
-Very.

Their test results were
completely different from ours.

-How is that possible?
-Their results were manipulated.

-Who would do that?
-Plenty of people.

Louhivuori, for example,

was opposed to the project
from the beginning and tried

to convince the other members
to vote against it.

Were you in touch with Veikkamo
after Friday?

We'll find out
your whole call history anyway.

-Yesterday.
-What did you talk about?

The same thing. I told him
their test results were bullshit

and that I needed to find out
who was responsible.

-Did you thr*aten him?
-No, I didn't.

-Then what?
-Nothing. He hung up.

-Were you in touch after that?
-No.

After the Tempo party on Saturday,
you ended up at Villa Tranquila

and came home Monday.

You didn't tell us or your wife.

I didn't want to tell my wife
I was pissed off

because my mistress left me.

Anna broke up with you at the party?

And you still suspect me?

After I graduated university,
I traveled around the world.

Partly because I was stupid
and wanted to protest

after our dad appointed Julia as the CEO.

Partly because I was curious.
I ended up in Asia.

I saw what overpopulation
really looks like.

We like to think things are well
here in Finland. That's bullshit.

If everyone on this planet
consumed as much, –

we'd need three planets.

Tempo is a construction company,
and I figured –

it's an industry
where I could try to find solutions.

I came back to Finland,
and to my surprise, Julia hired me.

She bought my idea
that we have to come up with new solutions

when it comes to energy
and energy consumption.

And not wait for someone else
to take responsibility.

As naive as this may sound,

we at Tempo want to help save the world.

That's why it feels so absurd

that you'd think I could take
someone's life.

Let alone the life of a person I love.

It's great all of you could make it.

Let's start. JP?

I think it's a clear case.
Veikkamo hanged himself.

No signs of v*olence,
of being tied up or anything.

His blood alcohol level matched
the whisky bottle on the table.

You can force a person to hang himself.

Sure. But what would be the motive?

That's a severe accusation
against a VTT researcher.

Why would he want to k*ll himself?

Why not? A lonely guy.
No women, no friends.

Finland loses
at cross–country skiing. Life sucks.

That's all it takes
for a Finn to k*ll himself.

I think it's possible that this had
to do with Anna's death.

Right.

Anna and Veikkamo both had a connection

to the Tuulivuorenranta project.

Can you explain?

Not yet.

So it's just a wild guess for now.

I suggest that we investigate
the cases together.

-I totally agree.
-Who asked you?

Come here and I'll punch you.

We'll keep these cases separate for now.

Yeah.

Is there really anything
to investigate in Veikkamo's case?

JP's team could look into it carefully,

as part of the m*rder investigation.

-As your sidekick cop?
-If that's how you see it.

We have enough open cases
we're working on.

I understand.

The National Bureau of Investigation
still wants to talk to you.

PROMISING SWIMMER ANNA JYLHÄ:
I FORGET EVERYTHING IN WATER

JYLHÄ BREAKS ANOTHER NATIONAL RECORD

Laura: Where are you?

Someone wants you.

-Caffé corretto without alcohol.
-Thanks.

Listen to this.

"EPO hormone found in
swimming team locker room.

The team members tested negative.

Anna Jylhä's samples were clean."

Come take a look.

Janne Kiiski sold hormones.

-Hi.
-Hi.

I'm glad you could make it
on such short notice.

You better have a good reason.
Where's Alex?

Recent events have taken a toll on Alex.

I wanted to see you once without him.

As we know, Tempo has invested
most of its assets in VCON-

and the Tuulivuorenranta project.

We've taken a huge risk by putting
all our eggs in one basket.

And now we just found
out that VCON- is crap.

It's possible the City Council won't
grant us the construction permit.

We should've had a plan B.

Why can't we build a residential area

without wind power?

The requirement
for the construction permit is

that we offer new energy solutions.

If our plan isn't solid,
the city will release a new tender

and start the process all over again.

You're right.

But we've signed contracts
with subcontractors, right?

We'll have to pay them,

even if we don't build
a single shack there.

Goddammit! I warned you about this.

WeltKraft sent us an offer
to purchase Tempo.

Do they know that VCON- failed the tests?

Yes, they do.

And they're trying to buy Tempo cheap?

The offer is very good, actually.

We have to decide whether we accept

or whether we trust

that the City Council
will grant us the permit.

If the offer is good,
we should accept it, right?

Yes.

What about the employees?
The headquarters in Finland?

Those questions are open at this stage.

-What does Alex think?
-He'll oppose the offer fervently.

-You want to sell Tempo?
-No.

This is a family company.

I always thought we'd continue
our grandfather's and father's work.

But it looks like selling is
the only way to guarantee

the company's survival.

I ain't talking to you. Take me away.

You're going to talk.

You can't keep me here against my will.

Actually we can. Sit down.

-Sit!
-You didn't help me!

You'd be six feet under
if I hadn't convinced you

to come down from the crane. Now sit.

What did you blackmail Anna Bergdahl with?

You hear me?
What did you blackmail her with?

Karppi.

Answer me! Were you blackmailing her?

Karppi.

I'm sure you miss your son.

If you can get me a better cell
and better food,

I might remember something.

You can have a one-evening leave.

You can't grant me that.

What if I can?

This is some kind of plot.
I don't want a leave.

You don't?

-No.
-Well, I can't force you to.

But there comes a day
when you can't stay here.

Then you'll have to leave.

For you, prison is probably
the worse option.

Let's pretend you found out
something about Anna's past

and asked her for money to keep it secret.

Let's pretend that Anna met
with her partner in crime

to sort the thing out

and the partner wanted
to get rid of Anna for good.

The only one who knew
what was going on is you.

You're the next on the list.

There's another option.

Let's pretend you help us.

We find the m*rder*r,

and you have nothing to be afraid of.

You just came up with all that.

Bergdahl's death...

-There's no connection.
-No?

-No.
-Think carefully.

I'll ask you once more.
Were you blackmailing Anna?

What was the secret
you blackmailed her with?

When I was in prison
a couple of years ago,

I talked about social welfare office stuff

with inmates who were doing time
for dealing steroids.

I told this guy that Bergdahl
was going to get me an apartment.

The guy started laughing and said
that Bergdahl had smuggled EPO.

-Anna?
-Yeah.

When she was on the swimming team?

You told Anna you knew? What did she say?

Nothing.

What did you get?

Not a f*cking thing.

That's why you caused a scene
at her house?

Because she didn't pay you?

You can go.

When Anna was young,
she was on social security.

Yet someone made monthly
cash deposits into her account.

Someone was paying her.

The question is, did the , euros
in her account come

from the same person?

We're this close to our goal,

and you're pushing us
into WeltKraft's arms.

We don't have a construction permit.

We might never get one. We have employees,

and they have families and mortgages!

If Tempo crashes, you can find
a good job at another company.

-What'll these people do?
-That's not our problem.

I disagree.

Why do you think
WeltKraft wants to buy us?

They believe in your plan.
They want to make it happen.

But why now? Think.

If the City Council says no,
we'll never be able to sell Tempo.

This company will crash.

VCON- works the way it's supposed to.

Veikkamo hanged himself after I told him

that I knew he forged the test results.

-You threatened him? Do the police know?
-No.

Of course I threatened him.
He k*lled himself

because he was afraid he'd get caught.

-Someone is responsible for all this!
-Okay!

So someone did try to sabotage us.

We know your idea is brilliant.

We've worked years for it.

It looks like the City Council
will vote against our project.

We have to accept the offer
and sell the company.

-We still have supporters.
-No, we don't.

Most of them are now behind Louhivuori.

How far is he ready to go?
– He's a politician.

He thinks about the next election.

WeltKraft knows the value of our concept.

-They're trying to buy it cheap.
-The offer is actually very good.

-Why would they sabotage us?
-How should I know?

I won't let this company crash.
Someone has to be a realist here.

Stop.

-What the f*ck have you done?
-Alex!

You should take better care of your wife.

I don't want to see you here again.

-Alex...
-You understand?

Never.

Taina Savila was the head coach

for the women's national team - .

...

Savila.

Sofia Karppi, Helsinki Police Department.

-Sorry for calling this late.
-Yes?

You coached the women's
national swimming team

in the late s?

Yes.

I'm investigating
the m*rder of Anna Bergdahl.

Maiden name Jylhä.
Was she on the team then?

Hello?

I didn't know she d*ed.

-Was she on the team?
-Yes, for some time.

A bagful of EPO was found
in your locker room.

Did Anna have something
to do with the bag?

I don't know.

Do you know who would know?

Tero Jyrkänkoski.
He worked as a manager then.

-Can you give me his name again.
-Jyrkänkoski.

We fired him immediately

when we found out what he was doing.

Could Anna have had
something to do with it?

I don't want to discuss this any further.

-I'd just like to know...
-Bye.

sh*t.

FRIENDS OF THE BALTIC COUNTRIES

WANT TO VOLUNTEER AT OUR CHARITY?

FRIENDS OF THE BALTIC COUNTRIES

Hi, how may I help you?

-Tero Jyrkänkoski?
-That's me.

Sofia Karppi and Sakari Nurmi,
Helsinki Police Department.

Okay.

We're investigating the m*rder
of Anna Bergdahl, née Jylhä.

When was the last time you saw her?

It must've been years ago
when she was on the swimming team.

-Not after that?
-No. A terrible thing.

I heard about it.

I had a bit of a crush on her,

but it didn't work out.

You run a charity here, right?

Yeah, it's grown a bit...

It started with an orthodox nun
who collected donations

for people in the Baltic countries.
The guys and I realized

we all have way too many toys at home.

You have kids?

When your kids grow,

you want to get rid of the toys.

We organized everything,
and now we're able to send

a van full of donations four times a year.

-Where do you get your financing?
-Donations.

I'm the only full-time employee.

Is this a toy or a backpack?

Anna smuggled hormones
when she swam competitively

and also after that. You were involved.

Yes, years ago.

You introduced her
to a way of making money.

Two young people
did a stupid thing. That's it.

-Did it go on a long time?
-Maybe a year.

Then we both started studying and quit.

And you haven't seen her since?

Like I said, I haven't seen her
since she was on the team.

Okay. Thanks.

-Who were they?
-Huh?

Who were they?

Some couple who wanted to donate stuff.

-I'm serious.
-"I'm serious."

They were Jehovah's Witnesses.

All that stuff needs
to be packed today. Chop chop.

f*cking moron.

There's , euros in Anna's account.

The last time Anna got money
from a suspicious source

was when she got money from Jyrkänkoski.

In the s.

You think Anna continued
smuggling hormones?

Or started doing it again.

While working
at the social welfare office?

She already lived a double life
when she was young.

We need to think this through carefully.

Alex's alibi is still not that solid.

It'd be easy to go to Helsinki
and then back to the clinic.

Then we have to look into Usko.
He's had it too easy so far.

Had it too easy?

I didn't mean it like that.

We finally found out
something new about Anna.

Why are you so obsessed with her husband?

You know what I think.

We should look into the people
who were in Anna's life recently,

and not years ago.

And we have to look into Usko.

The fact is that when a woman is m*rder*d,

her partner is the most likely suspect.

Talk to me.

Get all possible info on Jyrkänkoski.

-Got it.
-Thanks.

-So this is wild boar?
-Yes, this is it.

I'm sure you've heard about
our cooperation with WeltKraft.

What is it that your wife does?

-What's her name... Leanna.
-Linda.

-She's an actress.
-Actress?

Well, they also have to know

how to do all kinds of things.

Yes.

Do you know a City Council member
named Erkki Louhivuori?

He's not a big fan of our project.

Alex, let's eat first.

I always thought you were
more like me than Kristian.

To your father's memory.

Peltola didn't find anything
on Jyrkänkoski.

-Not even a parking ticket.
-Okay.

-What's for dinner?
-Spaghetti.

-No!
-That's all I have.

-Yeah, hello?
-Let's talk about this tomorrow.

There's something here.

Anna's , euros, her smuggling past.

And Jyrkänkoski.

Let's go check out
his charity again tomorrow.

Let's talk about this tomorrow. Okay, bye.

You didn't answer my messages.

I've been busy.

-Hi.
-Hi.

I heard about your problems.

Your peculiar wind turbines
don't last as long as they should.

We don't have problems. They do last.

Someone is forging the test results.

And now the person
who conducted the tests is dead.

-By coincidence?
-I doubt it. He hanged himself.

Really?

The City Council probably won't
grant you a construction permit.

I'm sure Louhivuori is trying
to sabotage our project.

If your project is good enough,
no one will be able to sabotage it.

If it isn't, it might be good
that it doesn't materialize.

Do you have anything on him
that I can use to get him to talk?

A company goes where it'll make
the most profit the quickest.

Have you ever wondered
where our money came from?

How did your grandfather
get money to found Tempo?

If Rudolf Hoikkala hadn't sold
g*ns to Germany in World w*r II,

someone else would've.

Your father was embarrassed of Rudolf.

But he had no problems
accepting his money.

That's why you were fighting? Over money?

Goddammit, two brothers stop talking
to each other for good.

Because of money.

Was it worth it?

Well... You know your father.

He was damn stubborn.

And if I remember correctly,

you didn't always get along
with him, either.

-I guess we're done.
-Alex.

Louhivuori hasn't sabotaged your project.

How do you know?

He's an exceptionally honest politician.

Exceptionally honest?

-How sure are you of that?
-A hundred percent.

It's me. Louhivuori is totally honest.

If he didn't pay Veikkamo
for forged test results,

then what the hell is going on?

I can't sleep.

Just put your head on the pillow,
and you'll fall asleep.

-No, I won't.
-Well, then you can just rest.

Go back to bed now.

Mom, I want water!

Mom, I want water!

Henna, can you get Emil a glass of water?

She won't bring it to me.

I'm dying of thirst.

Henna.

Water!

Henna, please answer when I talk to you.

Go away.

I need you to help.
I'm really busy with work.

I know your life would be
a lot easier if I didn't exist.

My life would be easier
without these arguments.

-I know what you did.
-What?

I know what you did.

Did what? When?

I don't know
how you can live with yourself.

-I haven't done anything.
-Bullshit!

I heard you arguing.

Dad wanted to stay in Germany
for another year,

but you insisted we come back.

I did.

And you had a massive argument,
and he went jogging angry.

Usually he'd wear a reflective vest,

but that time he didn't
because he was so angry.

And he got hit by a car and d*ed.
It's your fault

because you're a selfish, shitty person.

How can you live with yourself?

It was an accident.
It wasn't my fault in any way.

If you hadn't argued,
Dad would still be alive.

Henna.

I hate you.

You can't blame me for what happened.

You're not the only one who lost someone.

I did too. And Emil.

You seemed to have moved on
pretty f*cking smoothly!

You think my life is easy?

I have to try to keep myself
together every day.

Try to understand that we share that loss.

You and I share nothing.

Go away. I don't want to see you crying.

I'll go for a walk.

Good.

Yeah.

Okay.

It's windy out there. I hope
the hovercraft doesn't tip over.

Skinny, get your ass over here.

It'll be here in minutes.
Bring the hand truck.

Okay. Are we gonna load it at the door?

Hey.

She was here earlier today!

Stop!

What the hell are you doing here?

Stop. Get her a chair.

She's a cop.

A cop? For f*ck's sake.

You talked to a cop?

Where's your partner? Answer me!

What the f*ck is going on?

Are you bullshitting me?

She's alone. Her partner
would've showed up already.

Put the g*n down.

-We can't k*ll a cop.
-Shut up.

-I'll go.
-You're not going anywhere.

-Stop waving your g*n around.
-You're not going anywhere.

Police! Get on the ground!

Police!

Dead!

Dead!

Clear!

Karppi.

Everything's okay.

Everything's fine.

They were waiting for a boat
full of hormones from Estonia.

What were you doing here?

I'm investigating
the m*rder of Anna Bergdahl.

Alone?

Didn't Anna have something to do
with them?

No.
