02x04 - Trade-off

Of course I'll do it,

if he wants to exchange Iida for me.

It's not that simple.

Why not?

If Iida gets rescued?

You both would probably get k*lled.

Do you recognize this boy?

No. Who is he?

Jimi Aho.

What's he got to do with this?

He was an apprentice
on a ship called the Meelika.

He went missing almost five weeks ago,

and was found drowned after another week.

Two Estonians working
on the same ship were also k*lled,

then the doctor and policeman
who signed Jimi's death certificate.

Now the k*ller is after you.

You got any idea why?

No.

But I was on that ship.

What for?

We had a meeting

with the board of directors
of Kaartamo Nordic.

They wanted to share their thoughts
on the tunnel project.

But you didn't meet Jimi Aho?

No.

I got off the ship before the accident.

I see. How?

By helicopter.

Why?

My father had a medical emergency.

He's .

Were there any other members
of the movement onboard?

Henri.

-Did he leave with you on the helicopter?
-No, I left alone.

Aren't you being accused
of taking bribes from Kaartamo Nordic?

Yes, but they're all bogus.

The whole e-mail brouhaha is just a bluff.

So you didn't take bribes?

Absolutely not.

Any idea who might be
behind these allegations?

No.

What are you going to say
to the kidnapper?

Nothing yet.

He'll contact us again shortly.

Hi.

Okay.

The van was found.

Thank you.

Clear!

Look at this.

Iida could have left these.

The stash isn't here.
Did you take it somewhere else?

They want it back.

f*cking call me!

Yes.
The color was traced back to Iida's nails.

It matches the nail polish
found in the kitchen.

She tried to leave a trail.

That's the only security camera,
but it's off,

so nothing has been recorded
for the past couple of days.

View video footage of all cameras
from the past month.

-We only have one camera.
-For the whole area.

How's Sara doing?

Okay, considering the circumstances.

Did the kidnapper k*ll the other ones?

That's what the police think.

I think it's best not to disturb Sara now.

I mean, with work. We won't bother her
with any party matters.

-Right?
-Yeah.

She needs all her strength
just to get through this.

If you have any questions or concerns,

you can reach out to me.

A journalist asked to interview Sara
about our objectives,

but I guess it should be canceled.

Yeah.

If it's urgent, I, as Vice President,
could cover it.

Nobody knows you.
Besides, Sara is the face of the movement.

Maybe it's time to grow up
and reassign the responsibilities.

We can't just change our strategy
like that.

Hey, why don't I call Tuomainen?

-We'll let her interview you.
-If you think it's a good idea, I'm in.

So this is how decisions are made now?

In my opinion, we should focus more on--

Hey…

Let's break for lunch.

Henri.

-Are you trying to take Sara's place?
-No.

That's what it looks like.

You think I want to be in the middle
of the shitstorm? Hell no!

Look at these numbers.

If the elections were held today,

we'd get two MPs.

It would mean the end of the movement.

But you can't pull out the rug
from under Sara's feet

at the toughest time of her life.

That's not what this is about.
Quite the contrary.

We just have to keep this together
until her return.

-Works out well for you.
-Cut it out.

The good thing about this is,

the corruption charges
will be all but forgotten.

No, they won't.

Okay.

Let's continue this when Sara is okay.

Do you understand that I'm just trying
to save this movement?

What do you think I'm trying to do?

Goddammit!

Supposedly Emil is bullying someone,

but he says he's the one
who's being bullied.

Maybe you should spend more time with him.

-You're telling me to go home to my kids?
-That's not what I said or meant.

What did you mean, then?

I don't think Emil is the one
you should be worried about.

Henna is fine.

If you say so.

I trust that she's honest with me.

You trust Emil and you trust Henna.

How convenient for you.

What do you mean?

Then you don't need to do anything.

That was a shitty thing to say.

Are you implying that I don't
take responsibility for things?

What the hell?

I can't be living
in the fear of some catastrophe,

or force an adult to tell me everything.

Forget it.

Who the f*ck are you to give me advice?

-You asked for advice.
-No, I told you what was going on.

What do you know about kids,
responsibility, or anything?

I know absolutely nothing about them.

Karppi! Nurmi!

Come over here.

He's taking off the license plate
he was going to put on the stolen van.

When was that recorded?

Last week in the junkyard next door.

Stop.

Try from there.

That's not helping much.

Hold on.

I'm sure she gets that
we can't give in to her demands.

Maybe so, but do you have
concrete suggestions?

Let's focus on finding out her identity
and her connection to Jimi.

I said "concrete."

For one, the photo should be
circulated as widely as possible.

Jimi's mother is dead
and his father is an alcoholic.

What if there's no connection
between him and the woman?

What if this is just about dr*gs
and corruption?

I don't think so.

Fine, but I'd like to hear
other suggestions as well.

Iida's been missing almost hours.

We have to get this photo
distributed as widely as possible.

Alright. She contacted us again.

She told us how, where and when
we can exchange Tulisuo for Iida.

We can't give in to her demands.

I have an idea.

JP, whatever.
We can't give in to her demands.

Karppi. Be quiet.

That idea sucks ass!

Let's listen to JP's idea.

There's the f*cking m*rder*r.

Her photo should be going out
to every cop in the country.

We'll do it, but I think you should
step down from this case.

Don't be f*cking ridiculous!

You've taken over from Koskimäki
for, like, two days.

You're right. I'm no Koskimäki--

-Damn right you're not!
-He put up with you mouthing off,

but I won't.
b*at it before I get mad for real.

Here we go again.

Right. Please continue.

So, we'll let her think
we'll exchange Tulisuo for the girl.

But instead of the mayor,
it'll be one of ours.

Someone who resembles her.

She and Pia Partanen look a bit similar.

You're late.

I couldn't find the stash where I left it.

Why not?

I bet Jere found a better place.

Okay.

Give him a call
and tell him to bring it over here.

He's not answering his phone.

-He knew where your stash was?
-Yeah.

-And now he's not picking up?
-No.

-So he took the stuff?
-I don't think so.

Alrighty then, you owe me grand.
Do you have cash here,

-or do we need to go to an ATM?
-No, I don't.

What the f*ck have you done?

Huh?

Go take care of the food
so it doesn't burn.

Alright.

I arranged a way for you
to pay back the debt.

-You'll bring some Subutex from Tallinn.
-Absolutely not.

-You'll also make , .
-No, thanks.

If you don't have money or the dr*gs,
you'll have to do this. Get it?

Whatever.

I'm not f*cking smuggling dr*gs
from Estonia.

Do you understand that this is not a game?

It took some serious effort
to get this arranged for you.

We'll take the : ferry.

We have time to eat.

I'm not eating that slop.

You should learn to eat vegetarian.

Climate change. The glaciers are melting.

Jukka Aho, Jimi Aho's father?

What's this about?

May I come in?

-I haven't had time to clean.
-No worries. Neither have I.

-I'd like to talk about your son.
-I see.

Just a couple of questions.

What did Jimi do this past year?

He worked on the ship.

The Meelika?

Yes, that's it.

He calmed down.

Before that, he was struggling.

In what way?

He kept running away from school,
from home.

Then he was taken into custody.

They couldn't keep him
in a foster home either.

But working on the ship was good.

When was the last time you saw Jimi?

When I went to identify him.

He was lying there…

Nobody should see their child dead.

And before that?

Some three or six months ago, I…

I don't remember.

Can you think of anything else
about Jimi?

Anything is important.

Some woman came and asked for him
a couple of months ago.

This one?

Yes.

What did she want?

To talk to Jimi.

I told her he was on the ship.

We thought we were giving a safe home
to an abandoned child,

but when my wife d*ed,
I couldn't do it on my own.

Sorry, did you say Jimi wasn't
your biological son?

No, he wasn't.

But we got him when he was a baby.

He was...

a happy baby.

Is this Jimi's biological mother?

Do you know her name?

Mari Routa.

That's all I know.

Thank you.

The car will probably stop around here.

-Okay.
-You'll be able to see it from there.

Has anybody asked Tulisuo's opinion?

About what?

This plan.

She was happy
that something was happening.

Did anybody ask your opinion?

What?

Do you want your tax money to be wasted
on that tunnel?

Well?

I have to get a new battery.

Hello?

Hi.

Listen. The perp's name is Mari Routa.

Mari Routa?

Okay. How did you find out?

From Jimi's father.

Did you visit him?

Yes. Jimi is adopted,
and Mari Routa is his biological mother.

Retaliating on behalf of her son.

She had a pretty complicated childhood.

She grew up in orphanages.

The old geezer at the nursing home
was her social counselor.

Apparently, they were close.

At some point,
Routa got pregnant and had Jimi.

-Who is his father?
-No idea.

She gave Jimi up for adoption
right after he was born.

After graduation,
she worked abroad as a mining engineer,

building sewers and such in Estonia.

Nurmi.

Hang up now.

She worked hard to get ahead in life.

She quit her job a couple of months ago
and moved back to Finland.

Gotta go.

Bye.

Hey.

The perpetrator is Mari Routa,
Jimi's biological mother.

So now we know her name. Good.

Should we ask Karppi to come here?

Hello?

Hi, this is Sofia Karppi.

Does the name Mari Routa
mean anything to you?

No. Have you heard from Iida?

-The police operation is underway.
-Okay.

Hello?

Hello, can you hear me?

Yes?

-Is Peltola there?
-Yes, she's here.

Good.

-Let's hope this will all be over soon.
-Yes.

Henna, wait up.

Here's your ticket.

We'll board the ship separately,
and we won't interact on the ship.

If you need to talk to me,
we'll meet on the deck. Okay?

Take this.

You can use it to contact me
if you have to.

It's a prepaid phone.

-Don't use it for anything else.
-Okay.

-Do you understand?
-Yeah, sure.

Hey. Everything will go smoothly.

You go first.

MATTI:
I'LL BRING THE MONEY TOMORROW, EUROS

MATTI:
AND YOU'LL STOP BULLYING ME, RIGHT?

-Hi.
-Do we have a tap on Tulisuo's phone?

Of course.

Can we see her WhatsApp
and Telegram messages?

Not Telegram. Why?

This is Kulju.
Command Center, do you copy?

We hear and see you.

How's Pia?

We're getting ready to roll.

Are you ready? Take your spot.

JP, get in.

Lights out. Now!

Command Center to all units.

The perpetrator has been identified,
be prepared to use firearms.

sn*per , copy.

sn*per , copy.

sn*per , copy.

The subject is in sight.

Can you see the girl in the car?

Not yet, the target is too far.

We can see the driver. Female.

She's accelerating.

We have to stop her.

Hell no. The girl might be in the car.

Is the girl in the car? Can anybody see?

Only the driver can be seen.

Pia, out of the way.
She's not stopping.

Go!

Police! Freeze!

Hands in the air!

Hands in the air!

Get out of the car!

Get on the ground!

The subject is not "tango."

Hello?

This is Karppi. I'm on my way.

Hello?

I was getting ready to go to bed.

I'm already on my way. I'm almost there.

Hey, listen.

Yes?

I'll take these out to them.

-Wouldn't it be better if I brought them?
-I've got it. Go grab some for yourself.

Okay.

-Here's a little snack.
-Thank you so much.

-Please share with your colleague.
-Of course.

Should anything come up, I'll be upstairs.

We got some snacks.
You want some, or should I eat them both?

I'll come right away.

-Sten calling Kulju.
-This is Kulju.

Please keep me posted.

Was the girl found?

No.

Who is the woman?

Routa hired someone to drive here.

Copy. Out.

This is gonna be a botch job.

A box.

Hold this, please.

Well, f*ck, you only live once.

Damn it!

A GPS app.

This must be the girl's location.

She sent the girl's location.

Okay. Good.

Which direction?

Head…

north.

Straight north,

about to meters.

Over that hill.

It must be that building. Go lower.

I can't. I'll lose sight of it.

-So what?
-I can't control it then.

f*ck!

All units, in that direction.

Follow my car. That car, out of the way.

-Let's go!
-Nurmi!

Alright, let's go get the girl.

Something's wrong.

Why?

Hieta, go lower with the drone.

I can't get any lower.

Lower. Now!

I'm navigating based on the video feed.

Lower.

Lower.

Secure the back.

Iida!

Are you inside?

Iida!

Look!

On the roof.

Make sure no one goes inside.

Right now!

Nobody is to go…

JP!

This is Peltola.

-What's up?
-Damn it.

The mission failed.

Goddammit!

There was an expl*si*n.

JP was injured.

Badly?

I don't know.

He's on his way to the hospital.
Nurmi is with him.

Are you okay?

Yeah.

It was a trap.
She had rigged a b*mb in the barn.

Was Iida in there?

I don't know. If she was, she's dead now.

But you didn't see her?

No.

Has her mother been notified?

She's missing.

From the house?

-How the hell is that possible?
-Somehow she slipped out.

I think Routa contacted her
and orchestrated the whole thing.

This went really f*cking well.

Well…

Bye.

Okay, bye.

Stop!

Stop!

Stop!

Then she told me to get out of the car.

We went down some stairs.

I fell.

Into a basement?

Or was it maybe a tunnel?

Could be.

There was no moldy smell.
It smelled more like rocks.

Okay.

I just sat there for hours.

Then she came to get me.

-We got into the same car.
-How did you know it was the same car?

From the sound.

It was smart of you to leave
nail polish marks for us.

-What happened next?
-She stopped the car,

opened the door and told me to get out.

She took off and I was alone.

Then I tried to go get some help.

-Did she say anything else at any point?
-No.

She was quiet.

Okay.

Thank you, Iida.

Let's get into the car now.

Okay.

Will you find Mom?

We'll try.

Karppi.

This was found
a couple hundred meters from here.

-Tulisuo's phone.
-Okay.

She probably got into a car.

Yes.

Okay.

What?

Routa called.

Stop babbling.

Learn to speak clearly.

There were too many damn variables.

The fact is,
this operation was totally botched.

How is JP?

He'll be okay.

She must be hiding her IP
through multiple proxies.

Read.

"The tunnel project intended for the elite
and the wealthy in Finland and Estonia

has been protected in unacceptable ways.

A little over a month ago,
a secret meeting was held on the Meelika.

At the meeting, Kaartamo Nordic's
management met with members

of the Pro-Change Movement,
who were promoting the tunnel project.

However, a brutal m*rder took place
on the ship.

It was covered up so those involved
and their scheming

wouldn't be found out."

I'm not reading this.

Continue.

"Because society doesn't want to
pursue justice and punish wrongdoers,

citizens have to take justice
into their own hands.

The murderers,

the doctor and the police officer,
who hid the truth,

have already been punished.

They covered up the m*rder

so that nobody would find out
that Mayor Sara Tulisuo was… "

f*ck, I won't read this sh*t!
I'm not reading this, you g*dd*mn psycho!
