05x03 - Episode 3

[bunniefuu]

I've never bought anything
from Pertti Lakkala. Never.

That's my last online auction transaction.

It's this table here.

Reija delivered it to me.

She was in her forties,
definitely not called Pertti.

Has something happened to this Pertti?

You collect knives.

Yeah. My family is from Ostrobothnia.

You've heard of
puukkojunkkarit, the knife-fighters.

- Did your family take part in that?
- Actually, quite the opposite.

My great-grandfather was
your colleague, a police chief.

He and his team solved at
least a hundred knife incidents.

Great-grandfather put all the
knives that were used in killings -

on the top drawer of his desk.

When he passed away, -

those hundreds of knives in
his office were called a collection

and delivered to the widow.

The boys in the Saarnio family were
given knives as birthday presents.

For the last three generations.

I'm the first one who actually
wanted to collect them.

Were they all used to
k*ll at least one person?

As I recall, four are Dad's and mine

that we got from Nan, the
rest have been collected.

What did you expect?

Pagan Matti remembered
making a bid that can't be found.

Matti is almost 70 years old and
his computer is from the 1990s.

Why would anyone k*ll an
old man in such a terrible way?

Ten stab wounds.

An old grudge. The k*ller
must be in his age group.

Or there might be several,
maybe even ten of them.

That policewoman, Kautsalo.
How come you know her?

We studied at the Police
Academy. We became best friends.

We did a traineeship at
the same place in Seinäjoki.

Something must have happened.

I get a freezing feeling. Do tell, please.

I was taught at home to do as I'm told.

It made me feel safe.

I thought that a girl who
follows all rules and regulations -

would also be liked by all.

Nina didn't care about rules and
regulations. She had her own ones.

When I was younger, I thought -

that we could learn something
important from each other, -

complement each other.

I was wrong.

But your links, all of
D-time's heroic actions.

He's been a busy man.
I'm pretty excited about this.

It's all just gossip from
the hacker world, rumours.

All the cooperation with Interpol.

How is it possible that there
isn't any information on him?

He's a hacker, not part of the police.

Can we negotiate with
him if we offer protection -

for working more closely together?

I don't know. Hackers like to be outlaws.

Although their intentions are good -

the freedom and anonymity of the net is...

Sari Nikander.

Of course.

That's fine. Yes, in half an hour.

Yes, I'll make sure that this
will happen. Thanks, goodbye.

- It was Kleber. He wants to meet up.
- Really? Where?

At the police station. He also wants
all the CCTV cameras turned off.

Are you investigating the theft?

- I already withdrew my report.
- Yeah.

Klaus, it's Toni!

- Are you going to the police station?
- Sure, I can go there.

Right then.

So what did you want to say?

Down-time says that...

Down-time has missed
this all and wants to help you.

Great.

Here's a list of things we
need and a Proton Mail address.

Klaus, you and Leena have lived
in Ivalo for God knows how long.

Twelve years this Christmas.

- You repaired two pairs of my shoes.
- Are they broken now?

No. And Venla has been
in your club and loves it.

We also think it's
wonderful that she's found it.

I appreciate it how you
take care of your sister.

So don't get me wrong,
but I really have to ask.

Who the hell are you really?

I wasn't always a cobbler.

I studied programming
when we lived in Germany.

I even worked in the industry
for a while and was good at it.

But not nearly as good as my best friend.

Programming and hacking
meant everything to my friend.

A natural at it.

- Are we talking about D-time?
- Yeah.

Little by little I started
to get anxious about -

how much software and
algorithms define our lives.

I wanted to get away from it all.

But D-time dove even deeper into that mess.

If there is a rabbit hole,

then my friend is the rabbit in that hole.

Pics of two contaminated
PCs. Fennogrid sign-ins.

- Doesn't he need anything else?
- We'll let you know.

Can you estimate how
fast your friend can do this?

I think you'll be pleasantly surprised.

Yeah. Oh, the shoes.
Our mother is from Ivalo.

When our dad died in Germany, -

we decided to spend Mum's final years here.

I had trekking shoes.

I wanted to get them repaired
but there was no cobbler's.

I decided to retrain myself
and I haven't regretted it.

It's fun and useful.

So if your shoes break, I
have a repair guarantee.

Thank you, Klaus.

He's the perfect go-between
to a hacker who wants to hide.

He doesn't have internet,
mobile phone, nothing.

He's just a black hole.







There was only one
customer at the cobbler's.

Only one? It makes things easier.

- I think it was this one.
- Toni is new here.

What do you mean? I was here
when you met four years ago.

You even sent a photo of your baby.

I meant this traineeship.

Toni was a m*rder suspect
when you two started dating.

Now he's the father of your child,
you live together, and he works here.

Here.

A stick and a bag. A wild guess,
he went to sharpen his skates.

Did you follow the boy?

He's Anna Lehkosuo's youngest.

The parents have reindeer and chickens.

And there was a performance last night.

It was easy to infiltrate
there as a stepdad.

And the play went even
better than on the opening night.

Kleber didn't really talk
that long with anyone.

How does Kleber contact D-time?

Valentin visited the Klebers last night.

But you probably knew about it.

Or maybe not. Was Valentin
aware that we're following Klaus?

Did they seem to know each other?

I couldn't say. Lankinen was there alone.

He thought that you sent Valentin there.

He was there around thirty minutes.

We have five people working
here. Surveillance is too much for us.

Keep following Kleber.

We have to do a security
check on partners regardless -

whether they work for another authority.

I need all Valentin Kumar's info on
Traficom since his job application.

How soon can you send the file?

So the online auction account
of a local homicide victim.

Yes, and the phone records.

According to the log, some
information has been wiped.

An event or events have
disappeared. Same goes for the phone.

The last caller info is gone.
We only know how long it lasted.

A minute and eight seconds.

Okay. Can they be restored?

From where?

Somewhere. Who knows how to do that?

The security protocols of
the auction site are so bad

that any mediocre
hacker could have done it -

but caller info is another matter.

Could you access that?

I'm trying to get an idea about
how good a hacker this could be.

- Without governmental permits?
- Yes.

No.

Or maybe.

Mobile providers are
difficult. They're well-protected.

But if I would have prepared
everything for a long time, then...

I was waiting for Ori.

Maybe I don't appreciate
the computers that much,

but I do appreciate
how you never back off.

You're a badass, like me.
Only a bit more wiry.

Here, take it. It's better if we get along.

And I enjoyed your push-up joke.

I was pretty happy with it myself.

What's a double Trojan?

Why do you ask?

When Poison hired me and Vasili,

Ori told her brother

that we are going to use
a double Trojan in our heist.

Did she say that?

So, what is it?

Imagine a very big, hollow wooden horse

squeezing into your city

through your narrow
and well-guarded gates.

Then inside of that horse

is even a bigger wooden horse.

Seriously, you're not going to tell me.

You poor b*stard. We hired you
for your muscle and fire power.

Not to worry about things

that you can never fully understand.

Mm.

And this sh*t tastes like
the left side of a butthole.

You said you were the best hacker alive

but that's not really true.

Before Poison you were in Conti.

Before that, you were with EvilCorp.

Every hacker group
you've ever been part of,

the same white-hat hacker stopped you.

Every time.

D-time is retired.

Maybe you are the sorriest hacker alive.

Your dancing partner left you

because he got bored of
beating you every f*cking time.

Pagan Matti didn't imagine anything.

A deal was made on the
auction site before Lakkala died.

Pagan Matti just confirmed over the phone -

that you always had to pay
cash to Lakkala in person. Always.

Pagan Matti's offer for the
knives had been 240 euros -

but another buyer outbid him.

How does this help us?

Who carries around that
much money? Or even cash?

The town has one cash machine.

I'll get the CCTV from the bank.

Good.

My namesake Vasili.

Vasily the Blessed.

The wonder worker of
Moscow, Vasily the Naked.

I read these books from cover to cover.

Vasily didn't want to wear clothes -

because he wanted to receive
and accept all God's gifts.

The cold, the heat, the wind, the sun.

What are you saying, Little Bear?

Nature, my sister.

It's catching up with me here.

It's much easier to k*ll people in the city.

I need you.

With the money we will all get from this, -

promise you, we can retire.

Grigori wants me to ask you
about the details of our heist.

Is he in contact with the FSB bureau?

That's a big no-no for us.

Grigori is very loyal,
loyal to the Motherland.

Whereas I'm only loyal to you.

Nikander, or should I say
super inspector Nikander?

I guess you don't like skiing much either.

My knees can't take it. That's how it goes.

Cross-country skiing.
I really don't see the charm.

Ready for our next big step now.

Please, let's do it.

It's funny that we don't
know each other any better.

Aren't you also Nina's good friend?

I know what's going on here.

I've read some of the pre-trial
investigation reports of big cases -

that you've had.

You almost died a year ago
when Nina went rogue again.

- It wasn't like that. It happened...
- By chance.

Nina isn't a real police officer.

If she gets a serious case,
there's a risk she'll mess it up.

What are you talking about?

And that's not the worst thing.

We had a custody case in Seinäjoki
when we were trainees together.

A youngish, divorced couple, the
mother had their child's custody.

Until the child disappeared.

The father was a suspect but
nothing was found. It couldn't be proved.

Nina and I and a couple of others -

drove the father into
questioning many times.

Once Nina didn't drive to the
station but to a garage on the way.

She had imprisoned the father's mutt there.

We watched when Nina poured fuel on it.

She said she was going to burn it
if the father wouldn't start talking.

Did it work?

Of course. Nina got praised. The
child was found because of her.

I had to tell our supervisor
what Nina had done.

- It wasn't exactly easy for me.
- And Nina was allowed to go on?

She's the chief of police here.

Great, Nina. Wonderful, Nina.
Well done, Nina. Nina, Nina.

Didn't the father press charges?

No, he came to thank Nina
for bringing him to his senses.

I bet even the dog loved and admired Nina.

Watch out. She'll pull you into
something you can't make it out of.

The attackers contacted us.

Ten minutes, see you in my room.

You are Poisoned.

Your company's internal network

has fallen victim
of a fatal cyber infection.

The bug spreading
in your corporate system

comes with a k*ll switch.

If you need the k*ll switch code
to restore your internal network

pay twenty million euros in bitcoin to...

That leads to a crypto wallet.

Your payment is expected in 48 hours.

After which time
the enclosed QR code expires

and we can no longer help you.

Turn it off.

I set up a meeting with
Fennogrid and our people.

Good. D-time also contacted me.

- How?
- Kleber called.

He wants the Fennogrid network's
data communications' telemetry.

He wants the data communication dump.

What does that mean?

The malware rewrites itself to the servers.

- So we're getting somewhere?
- That's the idea.

The QR code in the message
links to a crypto wallet.

We can't trace the owner.

Otherwise, it wouldn't be there.
What do we know about the attackers?

The first sighting of the Poison
hacker group is from 2019.

They concentrate on big game.

They have targeted big
companies and public infrastructure.

Do they have a homeland?

Russia, close connections to
FSB and intelligence services.

Oh dear.

Poison has acted this whole time
as any other criminal hacker group.

Most of all they want money.

The username of the leader is Ori.

We assume she's a woman,
not common in hacker circles.

That's all we know. We
don't even have a photo.

Poison's most famous
member was Jerome Bezenkoff.

Was?

He was arrested a year
ago in an Interpol raid.

We don't know who replaced him.

Apparently, someone capable enough.

- 20 million isn't a huge amount.
- Since when?

Everyone's done a great
job keeping this mess hidden.

However, during the past 40 hours -

more money has vanished
from our stock value.

Our partners are
wondering, rumours are flying.

We can't hide this much longer.

Okay. Let's assume that we pay the
ransom. Does it guarantee anything?

Often criminal hackers keep their
promises so that people pay them.

Let's pay straight away.

We don't have the means
to stop this ourselves.

Or did I understand correctly, Matti?

Of course, the NBI doesn't condone
cooperation with blackmailers.

No need to pay anything
now. We have our man on it.

- Who is he?
- That's confidential.

Is he the miracle hacker
that Antti Koskela told about?

- We're figuring out his identity.
- Don't you know who he is?

We know that he has helped the NBI before.

We'll give Nikander's secret
agent 24 hours to solve this.

Then we'll see how far we've come.

Wouldn't it be better to pay up?

No, 20 million is a lot of money.

Nikander, f*ck. Just find
out who your Batman really is.

Based on the description, is it this guy?

That's the guy. When was this?

The same night the assumed deal was made.

Find out everything about that Saarnio.

Wait. Does that one have our uniform on?

That one. Can you zoom in?

Get up! Get up!

Get up! You returned the stolen
money into the club's money box.

I have a night shift. I'm
spying on our family friends.

Bloody hell! An NHL millionaire
can't be a police officer.

Children should go on their
trip and it was the opening night.

- That's a breach of office!
- Darling.

- Vigilantism with your own money.
- Calm down.

- Don't tell me to calm down.
- I will. It was Venla.

- What?
- She's 16, she'll get a record.

When I talked to the children,
they all knew where the box was.

Every single one. Except for Venla.

What are you doing in my room?

I'll show you where the money is.

I'm sorry, Horsey. I'll borrow
your stick and you'll get more treats.

Bunny, why do you need money?

I don't want to go to the amusement park.

I'm afraid of the rides.
They all look dangerous.

Of course, you don't have to go.

The others will go. They
talk about it all excited.

What were you thinking?

If I took the money, we wouldn't have to go.

But then more money came in.

Now I have to go despite all this.

Oh, Bunny.

We have to talk about
this with Klaus and Leena.

You have a matinee tomorrow.
Let's work this out together.

I can't go there. For real, no.

You have to.

I'm sorry. I'm sorry that I
can't put my hood down.

I don't want to go on those rides either.

They're terrible. Nowadays,
they control them with computers.

If there's a fault...

Tsii-woo, suu-tsuu,
tsaa-hii, poo-poo, pii-poo.

No, blue.

I don't get anything. I
don't get it. No rides.

Klaus can take the club
members where they want to go.

The rest of us, we can eat
ice cream and even candyfloss.

That's a good idea. There
won't be a fault in candyfloss.

It's really sticky.

You have to put your costume on.

I can't stay in this club.

Nonsense! We trust you.

Would you like to see your painting?

- Where is it?
- In a secret place.

Is it far? I have to go back to work soon.

It's some way away but we can make sure

that Venla will be home in good time.

We are ready but we really
need to know everything.

Moving several divisions to the border -

will not go unnoticed.

We can't proceed until...

I can't squeeze anything out of Ori.

After that Belgian freak -

planted ten f*cking knives
into that old guy's back -

it seems like Ori is afraid of him.

Ori afraid? I find that hard to believe.

Try harder.

I don't want to meet you here anymore.

This is a good place.

Vasili can see and hear
everything that happens online.

Then we should hire him.

I beg of you, don't do it.



Well, well, well.

Gregoris Illuminator.

How did you know?

Jesus, man.

I planted a tracker on your gear
the first day we met.

Can we negotiate?

You only have things I don't want.

We can arrange a lot of money.

I sweat money in my hotel sheets.

Safety.

Safety was the first thing
I bought for myself.

Listen, listen.

We don't want to involve
Russian military in any of this.

The army is clumsy.

Vaga, listen.

I thought I made it clear
to everyone in the group.

Vaga, listen.

Let me illuminate something else to you.

Vaga... Vaga.

After I'm done, you don't have to worry

who is the best hacker alive.

Goodbye, you stupid f*ck!

Yes. Of course, I understand
that flights are booked online -

but your site had this phone
number listed just in case.

Yes.

Thank you. Yes.

Just a moment.

Right. It's great that things
can be still done this way.

Can I help you?

I'm here for hats.

Oh, Leena!

She's my sister

and this is actually her boutique.

I know, I have been here.

Leena?

Hello! Yes.

Hey!

Hello, busy day.

Me too.

Had myself a day that definitely
needs to be rewarded.

Hello there. Is this your daughter?

No, our friend.

Nice to meet you.

Now... I've had enough of this!

- Did it break?
- Do they multiply?

They're everywhere. Do they f*ck each other?

- They work hard.
- Yes, vacuuming away.

Don't invite a vampire into your home.

That Lakkala. We got the pathology report.

Oulu Apologised for taking this
long but they did notice something.

"The victim was stabbed
multiple times with knives

which led to his death."

"Stab wounds in the back
differ in width and depth."

And look at the conclusions.

"At least seven different knives
were used to k*ll the victim."

"Maybe even all ten wounds have
been caused with different weapons."

The ten knives that were on
sale were used to k*ll the man.

- That might have been on sale.
- Now we'll talk to Saarnio.

Right, 24 hours is up.

- Has the expert been in contact?
- He hasn't.

Fennogrid, w*r room people. Any progress?

The malware doesn't act like it
should. It's hard to recognise it.

So no progress.

You can't guarantee that
we can ward off this attack.

The NBI has kept the
Finnish Government updated.

We've discussed with the
Ministries of the Interior and Finance.

Since the target is a company
maintaining national power grid -

and we have to think about
social balance, blah, blah, blah,

we're now ready to pay the ransom.

- We twiddled our thumbs for 24 hours.
- So we have to act fast.

We'll connect Nikander
to the Ministry of Finance.

- Sari! Sari! He cracked it.
- What?

D-time cracked it. It's
not a traditional malware.

It's like an update taking
control of the finance program.

Is that why it messes it up?

Can this be fixed?

Now that we know what we're
doing? Hell yeah and fairly easily.

He cracked it.

Congratulations, Nikander.
You just saved us 20 million.

Unbelievable.

Is there enough evidence to arrest him?

No but we have a reason
to ask for a DNA sample.

I'm going to question Saarnio about
the night Lakkala was butchered.

- We're a bit busy at the moment.
- Talk to me.

I only know Valentin
from his time at Traficom.

Traficom's files on Valentin
contain a lot of interesting things.

Did you know that he studied
programming in Munich?

Only a few among the
best in cyber security -

who haven't found each other in the web

know each other from same schools.

Is Valentin one of the best?

I've never met anyone
better. He's a magician.

Police! Alvar, are you home?

Best DNA prints, where do you get
them? Do you have any favourites?

I don't think we'll need them.

There's nine of these. One is missing.

It's a request for
your university student records.

I'm following an important lead here.

I already know

that Valentin Kumar studied
at your university.

But I would like to check
another name. Klaus Kleber.

Hey.

Have you seen Grigori?

Is he missing?

We can't reach him.

Good job. Over here.

Maybe Grigori gave up.

To me, he just seemed like
an impatient guy.

Grigori never gives up.

Now Grigori's gone,

we don't have to book
an extra cottage for this guy.

Great to see you, Alvar.

We need you.

I did what you asked.

Hush! The local police
are getting too nosy.

You are much safer here with us.

And the best fun is about to begin.
