02x04 - Justice and Fairness

Post by bunniefuu »

Someone took my green hoodie
from the Cairo games.

From your locker? - No, from home,
from the bathroom. It's not here.

Aava...

The Olympics make you nervous.

And they should,
but in the right way.

You don't believe me.
- I do.

But who would want...
- What about those calls?

There's never anyone there.
Like a dead person calling.

Aava!
It's a disturbed fan.

If you met them,
you'd kick their ass.

In a heartbeat.

The hoodie will turn up.

Go!

Hands up!

Is that the exit?
Open it.

Toni Kajanne?
- You speak Finnish.

Nina Kautsalo, Finnish Police.
- Help me out of here!

I'll try.
Viktor!

It's Kajanne!
- Move it!

Open the door!
- Try this one.

No use.
The head guard has the keys.

He comes for the prisoners
on the hunting day personally.

sh**t him in the eye!

Only the head guard has the keys.

Step back!
Step back!

Step back!
- Don't sh**t! It's bulletproof...

f*ck!
She sh*t me!

You sh*t me!

When are they going to sh**t
this man? - You sh*t me!

When are they gonna sh**t this man?
Answer now!

When are they gonna sh**t this man?
- He is for last day. On Sunday!

You can't leave me here.

They know where we are.
Nina! They are coming!

Nina, we need to go.
- sh**t, it will break.

We need to go!
- sh**t again!

Nina, what the f*ck?
- sh**t! - We'll be back!

We'll be back!
- Don't leave me here!

Don't f*cking leave me here!

Nina!

Here!

They went to the exit!

Hurry!

Stop!

What are you doing?

I had a clear sh*t.
- They're my father's guests.

Everyone has seen them.

If there is trouble,
everyone knows who to blame.

Everyone understands -

that you need new people
to lead Ordo.

Maybe father will see it himself.

Look!
- How the hell is our car here?

They must have found it.

Bunny.

Hello, mom.

Little one!

Want me to read you a poem?
- What?

A little boy found a machine g*n -

and now the village population
is all gone.

Tell mom
the dead lady still scares me.

Good bye, Bunny.

Why are you slowing down?
- I'm not slowing down.

The car is f*cked.

sh*t!

Are you okay?
- Yes, I hurt my eye.

What am I, a car mechanic now?

I can't hear anything.

Like they're not following us.

It's about 40 km to the border.
Let's go.

Right now,
I could be sleeping in a warm bed.

There's no justice in the world.

Why are you like that?

What's happened to you?

Why do you think
the world is such an awful place?

Dimka.

Dimitri Astarov.

Four years ago in May...

Dimitri was coming home from
a basketball game in St. Petersburg.

He was wearing
a rainbow-colored hoodie.

A gift from his boyfriend.

On the way home,
five unknown men stopped him.

The hoodie had caught
their attention.

The men had claimed Dimitri was
a h*m* and he didn't deny it.

The men b*at Dimitri to death.

Kicking, b*ating...

His head looked like a...

torn...
grocery bag.

Were you the detective
assigned to the case?

I...

had given him the hoodie.

I told my colleagues
that I was Dimka's boyfriend.

Of course it wasn't smart,
but I...

I told them everything, because
I wanted those bastards in prison, -

every one last of them.
- What happened?

I was transferred
to Murmansk Oblast.

And not one charge was filed
against Dimka's K*llers.

The incident was investigated
as a regular street fight, -

presuming Dimka had on his own
att*cked five men -

he suddenly met in the street.
- Viktor...

This the world in which
I am a police officer.

You're a good police officer.
Thanks to you, we've come this far.

This far?
This far?

What do you mean this far?

Ordo is not wrong.
- Yes, they are.

No, they're not.
There are people all over the world -

who are not protected
by law and order -

and will never, ever get justice.
Can you understand this?

I can understand, but still.

No invisible secret society
can never do that.

Nina, invisible secret society?
- Yes.

In St. Petersburg, you wondered
how I get Alexander Tokarev to talk.

Yes.
- I remembered him. Alexander...

From a party, a gay party,
I attended with Dimka.

And that's why he wanted to help me.

There is your invisible
secret society.

And every year, it grows
more invisible and more quiet.

And about two million people
in Russia belong to it.

There is
your invisible secret society.

There is...
No justice.

Good morning. Thanks
for helping us over the border.

This is Viktor, my colleague.
- Hello.

Come in.
- Thanks.

There, I found it!

Hey you, aren't you in Venla's class?
- Yes.

Is she still inside?
- No, I don't think.

Where is she?
- She left.

Oh. Alone?

No, maybe with Siiri.
- Siiri?

I'm not sure.
Maybe with an adult.

Do you know Siiri's last name?
- No.

Okay.

Saxman.
- Excuse me.

Are you looking for something?

I came to pick up Venla.
- And you are?

Her guardian.
- That's Siiri's desk.

Yes, I see.

Nina!

Hey.

You said Kajanne
is a prisoner in Russia.

I investigated Aava's case initially.

Yes, that's why I told you.

You need to look at these.

Well?
- Aava's case file.

Official and then some of my own.

We're about to start...
- He didn't necessarily do it.

The NBI took it from us.

They wanted to show off, but
there are holes in the investigation.

At first,
they focused too much on Kajanne.

I'll get Kajanne out of Russia,
that's all.

Kautsalo.

Meet my colleague, Mr. Sokolov.
- Hi. Nina.

You said you had
some shocking news.

Yes. I'll brief you in.
- I hate shocking news.

And after the car broke down,
we walked all the way to the border.

But to my regret, we didn't have any
chance to free Kajanne from his cell.

Wow. I mean,
this all sounds absolutely crazy.

It seems likely
that Polina Rotkova is responsible -

for k*lling
Irina Semenko in the train.

And probably also Maxim Smith.

Ms. Rotkova may be taking
direct orders from younger Kurakin.

We're not sure. We don't know
what happened to her, either.

Lots of things
you're not sure of.

Ordo Paritet is a high society
that hunts people.

They give their polished tailbones
as trophies for their members.

They hunt a new victim every day.

There's a new victim today
and tomorrow.

And every time the sun rises,
there will be a new m*rder.

The last day of this week,
they will be sh**ting a Finnish man.

Toni Kajanne.
- Not on my watch.

From what I've heard,
we need to go in there heavy.

Joint forces,
but we need to move fast.

From what I've heard,
you're a tiny nation.

As we are something
quite on the contrary.

First of all,
he's a Finnish citizen.

His life is in danger,
so there's a national interest here.

It's only jurisdiction.
A Russian matter on Russian soil.

Full m*llitary intervention.

Give me a couple of days,
I will stop this Ordo.

And you two...
Masterpiece of detective work.

Beyond all my expectations.

Maybe she and Siiri left alone.

So no adult picked them up?

What did the child say?
- She was a bit unclear.

We have to tell Nina.
- No, we don't.

We have to.
- No!

She'd just worry. She can't do
anything from 200 km away.

Let's check that park.

Do you see her?
- No, I don't.

Tiina Saxman.
- Marita Kautsalo, Venla's aunt.

Venla from Siiri's class?
- That's her.

Siiri said Venla is really good
at making up new games.

I was told they left school together.
You probably know where they are.

No, I'm in Oulu.
Working.

Siiri said Venla's parents
will pick her up.

No, Venla's mother
is also working out of town.

It's possible they went to our place.

Do you want the address?
- Yes, please.

You lost both
your service g*n and badge?

Our car was emptied,
everything was taken.

Also all the evidence
you had gathered?

The r*fle and the tailbone?
- Yes.

Well, it makes this simple,
at least for your part.

You're fired.
You'll get the details by email.

We'll look into Viktor's situation.

Motivation and initiative will be -

taken into consideration,
after all, you got some results.

How can I run an unit
if they lie to my face?

I agree.

Sorry, what are you talking about?
- Viktor didn't know.

I lied to him.

I said we had your permission
to go to Pechenga.

I'm sorry.

Kautsalo is suspended
from this investigation.

Suspended?
- Yes.

Kautsalo will write a full report
on the events of the past week.

Only suspended?
- For now.

Kautsalo, when you write the report,
think about how an officer knows -

they're following the rules
they're supposed to be upholding.

Is there a correct answer?

You're asking the wrong person.
But I can tell you -

you're running out of lifesavers.

Is this about Nina's work?
Some revenge or something.

That's where Siiri lives.

Nina is calling.
- Huh?

Nina!
Hello?

Hi there.

I'm going to be a stay-at-home mom.
- Oh?

I'll be home soon.

Help! Help! Police!
- What's wrong?

A dead child.
- Where?

In there.
She's all bloody.

Here?

It's our basement!

Venla?

Venla!

Hey!

No bullying!
- What?

Where's Venla?
Is she here?

Is Venla here?
Where is she?

Where's Venla?
- Right there.

Hello.
- Oh, honey

What's this about?

Tomi and his friends bully Siiri.
- Why?

Because I can't roll my "r".
- We wanted to prank them.

Venla helped me.
- Okay.

I know what dead people
look like for real.

Hey!
- Hi.

How's the traveling woman?

Hi, everyone.
- Hi.

Hi, darling.

I missed you so much.
- I didn't.

Venla doesn't want to be
called Bunny.

Are you hungry?
- Yes.

We're out of lingonberry jam,
so that you know.

Esko made these premade meatballs.

How's the hobbyhorse?

Huh?
- Have you taken care of it?

I've been taking care of Venla.
- What about the hobbyhorse?

It's important to Venla.

I'm on it.
- Good.

Esko has been with Venla a lot.

A new horse movie.

I've seen it already
with dad and Marita.

Twice.

Did dad sleep here?

I'm not afraid when he sleeps here.

Honey, mom found the person
who hurt Irina.

You don't have to be afraid any more.

Okay?
- Fine.

What's that?
- It's a head.

Who put it up there?
- Dad brought it.

I was so afraid
that someone hurt Venla.

Me, too.

I thought it was about Nina's work.
- I thought it was about me.

That because of me...

Come on, now.

f*ck...

Hey...

There's this one thing.

Sorry. Don't take any notice.
- No, of course not.

Not at all...

But hey...
I have another thing. - Well?

Isn't that the same thing?
- Not exactly.

We can't.
- Definitely not.

THE PECHENGA REPORT

We were in Murman...

You go first,
I'll catch you up.

Pull up your pant.

Do you want no food today?

Stupid man.
It's not there.

We'll clean the floor
after you're dead.

He's right, it's not there.

What's not there?
- The chip -

they use for tracking.

So we can't escape.
After the hunt.

Someone's going to hunt us?

When they bring you...

Were you like...
- I was drugged. Knocked out.

That is when they put it there.

Le Chip.

Pekka sure liked his beer
at the cabin.

Look.

He was at his best
when he was tipsy.

He liked you more than me.
- What do you mean?

You were brave and sassy.

You had your own ball game,
and you never invited me in. Never.

Is that why you told everyone
"Pekka is my dad, not Nina's".

I could have punched you.
- And you did.

Even at his funeral.

I'm sorry.

How can we learn
from our parent's mistakes -

when we don't know the mistakes
they made or why.

Your father can be a total assh*le,
but he's still alive.

I think Venla might have a problem.

What do you mean?
- Well...

You found the body on the train.

So? - I think Venla
should see a psychologist.

No.

What do you mean no?
- Absolutely not.

Why not?

Thomas' wife pushed their child
through dozen of psychological tests.

Thomas lost the custody
of his own child.

This is not the same thing.
- She doesn't have a problem.

I've talked it through with Venla.

KAJANNE WANTED FOR m*rder

That would be 65.20.
Anything else?

This one.

Yes, 85.20.

Thanks.

Want the receipt?
- No thanks.

Kotak, I don't know
how the hell you do it.

Thank you.
- You don't mind?

Of course not.

Go ahead, son, sh**t him.
- What?

sh**t him!

He's dead!
- Exactly, so it's easier.

It's very difficult to sh**t
a human being.

It's a learning process,
like anything else. Go ahead.

Protect your ears.

Remember your lessons now.
Breathe. Relax.

Relax.

Slack.
sh**t him.

Chamber another round.

Now in the head.
- Gordon, maybe you shouldn't...

He's my son!
He's my son, Krueger.

Go ahead, Justin.

Go on.

Hi.

Yes.
I want to talk.

Okay.
Please.

I got some days off.

Until the end of this week.

Okay.

They believed I didn't know
the trip to Pechenga was unauthorize.

Viktor, I'm...
- Nobody knew where we were.

We could have just vanished
from the face of the earth.

Yeah. Viktor, I'm sorry.
- On the other hand...

With you, I feel like
something could really happen.

Like
something could actually change.

Yeah.

And by the way,
you were right.

Had we waited for an official
permission to go to Pechenga, -

we would never have gone there.

I made some calls to find out what
actions they have taken in Russia.

Okay, good.

Or...?
- Among the Russian police force, -

nobody had heard anything
about what we told Sokolov.

Not a peep. Just... nothing.
- What...

But how is that possible?

The Finnish-Russian Police Task Force
is just a joke to Sokolov.

It was never meant
to find out anything.

Sokolov...

knows what happened to me
in St. Petersburg.

He doesn't consider me a real man
or a real cop.

That's why he found it so funny
to appoint me to the task force.

Hi!
I can't get hold of Stenius.

I just wanted to know
how things are going in Russia.

Is your report done yet?
- Well...

It's not done yet.

You've been suspended.
- Yes.

Well, I guess
you should hear this.

Sokolov told Nikander that they
raided the monastery this morning.

It was empty. The whole place
was emptied and abandoned.

So now it's not only Irina's m*rder*r
who is missing, -

it's also Kajanne and it's also...

Anyone from our unit there?
- Ilya.

Nobody went over there
to take a look. Trust me.

But what? - I wouldn't be surprised
if Sokolov was on Ordo's payroll.

Oh my God.

Kajanne will be sh*t in three days.

All we can hope
is that he really k*lled his wife.

Everyone seems to agree on that.
- Not everyone.

It was absolutely vital to Kurakin
that they never k*ll innocent people.

Right?
It was a matter of honor.

So if we prove to Kurakin that
Kajanne is not guilty of m*rder...

How do you suppose we do that?
- We have to find the real k*ller.

In a 12-year old case?
- And we take the proof to Kurakin.

Do you trust him?

Well, he wanted us to approve
what they are doing.

So yes, I trust that feeling.
It was important to him.

And I promised to Kajanne and
that young boy that we'll help them.

That's why I never promise
anyone anything.

Yes, I know.

Well, I do.

Hello, Nina.
- Hi, Rauno.

You said I could take a look
at Aava's papers? So...

Yeah. - The problem is
I'm in Rovaniemi.

So do you think you could...

I'll come over.
- Thank you, Rauno.

Hi there.

Hey, darling.
Food is ready.

We were going to make pancakes.
- Yes, we were, honey.

But a work thing came up.
- What happened?

A work thing came up.

Don't be afraid, Bunny.
Mom will fix everything.

Can you stay here tonight?
- Yes, we'll be fine.

Bye!
- Thank you!

We can make pancakes.

I can't find it.

I know a place.

I don't need to find this chip.

I just need to hide from the hunters.
Just long enough...

Why do they hunt us?

We are K*llers.
- What?

Tell me your story.

I'm not a...

Just tell me your story.

And I will help you.

I k*lled my wife.

May 4, 2008, Finland's brightest hope
in the Beijing Olympics, -

Aava Lahti, was found dead in a cabin
destroyed by arson in Saariselkä.

Cause of death was fractured skull
and ensuing massive brain hemorrhage.

I hit her with a hammer.

In the head.

Then I washed...

washed her mouth and throat
with bleach and...

cut off her lips.

The victim's lips had been cut off
post mortem.

Liquid soap and toilet cleaner
had been poured into her throat -

and a scratching object,
maybe a toilet brush, shoved down.

Kids' mouths are washed with soap
if they lie or swear.

The victim had been
beaten or kicked, -

she had broken ribs
on both sides.

Why?
Why would you do that?

Because I was f*cking tired
of her lies.

Black, rotten fat lies...

coming out of her mouth.

We could never do anything normal -

because there was always some
tournament just around the corner.

Parties?
Out of the question.

We couldn't even go to the theater.
And I f*cking hate theater.

Could we have children?
No.

Always "not yet".

So yes, I sure as hell
smashed her skull in -

and cut off her ugly, smelly lips -

because it was my right
to do so as her husband.

Did you cut lips
before she was dead?

Huh?

You learn these things
with practice, I suppose.

At the crime scene, they found
the DNA of Toni Kajanne -

and Aava Lahti,
who rented the cabin.

As usual, the fire had destroyed
a lot of evidence.

How did the fire start?

The bear skin near the fireplace
was doused with gasoline and lit.

Aava Lahti and Toni Kajanne
were celebrities.

Their comings and goings
before the murders -

have plenty of eye witnesses.

The last time
they were seen in together, -

they had a full-blown argument
in the restaurant.

Bystanders say Toni accused
Aava of lying.

What happens to us? - They drop you
from helicopter in the forest.

A bunch of rich filthy bastards come
and try to sh**t you.

They have time until nightfall.

If I manage to escape from them,
then you go free?

The last sighting of Aava alive -

was at the supermarket.

She bought a piping bag.

I escaped last year
the hunters.

But the guards used the chip
to track me down after the hunt.

They will not let you go.

Never.

What about Kajanne?

He never drove back to Helsinki,
but to Rovaniemi -

to her teen-age fiancée
Henna Koski.

He claimed he was there all night.

Koski confirmed the alibi
at the time.

Then she found Jesus
and retracted it.

We are murderers.

Without these bars, I'd have k*lled
and eaten you many days ago.

Why?
- Because there is no one else here.

And I'm a hungry man from Hungary.

Mr. Hockey.

Back in the day, what made you think
Toni didn't k*ll his wife?

There was this talk about doping.

Was Aava suspected of that?

Aava was famous
for her great timing.

She was always in top form
in major competitions.

Your father's fame as a coach
is based on that.

Aava was never caught
using anything illegal.

Then there's
this second line of inquiry.

The stalker who followed Aava
for a couple of years.

They only reported one incident.

A threatening message.

What about my dad?
Did anyone investigate him?

The cell phone tower data
confirmed his alibi.

Aava called him
several times that night.

After her argument with Toni.

You should ask your dad
about the stalker.

Hi there.

Hi.
- What?

Thanks for coming.
- Thanks for calling.

You?

Me.
