[radio chatter]
[radio chatter]
[creaking]
- [woman] The whisper of the stars.
- [Sofia] Huh?
In extremely low temperatures,
the air we breathe turns
into tinkling ice crystals.
It's called the whisper of the stars.
Okay.
The air in the frozen storage unit
was so cold
that the victim's airway cells
were destroyed and he suffocated.
Was he frozen to death?
Was there something done to his eyes?
[coroner] No.
There are signs he was assaulted
with a blunt object.
Could that imprint be
from the barrel of a gun?
Yes, it could be.
He was tied up. Probably with cable ties.
Not when he was found.
Was there anything else?
The Finnish flag tattoo.
There's another cross under it. It's not
the Finnish flag, it's a naval jack.
They're used on Estonian ships.
An Estonian sailor?
Possibly.
Thanks.
No problem.
[distant siren wailing]
Sofia Karppi.
Sakari Nurmi.
Mwah!
Is everything okay?
That's what the doctors say.
You've grown as a person.
- Of course. Refined through suffering.
- [chuckles]
Doesn't it show?
So, you're ready to come back to work?
That's my intention.
What's going on here?
- We found a frozen body this morning.
- Frozen?
Yeah.
He was locked in a frozen storage unit.
He was blindfolded. Probably Estonian.
- Okay.
- [phone buzzes]
Karppi.
He's here with me.
They found another body in Tallinn.
He was blindfolded in the same way.
We should visit.
[Sakari] Hi.
What's the estimated flight time?
[man] About 20 minutes.
[Sakari] What's that?
[Sofia] It's the Helsinki-Tallinn
Tunnel project.
[Sakari] What?
- [Sofia] Haven't you heard about it?
- [Sakari] No.
[Sofia] The world's longest railway tunnel
under the sea.
I haven't followed much news from Finland.
The Pro-Change Movement
promised to revitalize politics
and build the tunnel
if they win the election.
Okay. Did they manage to change anything?
At least the project
seems to be pushing through.
Good idea, if you like
to travel under the sea.
Says the man
who likes to dive into nuclear waste.
[engine starts]
[radio bleeps]
- Anto Ots.
- Sofia Karppi.
Hi. Sakari Nurmi.
[in English] Anto Ots. Welcome.
[in English] Thanks.
- Do you know who he is?
- Not yet.
- A naval jack from Estonia, isn't it?
- [Anto, in Finnish] Yes, it is.
- You speak Finnish?
- A little.
[Sakari] One victim in Tallinn
and another in Helsinki.
Both blindfolded with similar cloths.
Why would someone
go to so much trouble?
[skateboards whirring]
[people shouting]
[man 1] Look that way.
Hey, blind girl, come here.
[man 2] Stop shouting, for fuck's sake.
[man 1 laughs] Fuck!
She can't even stand on the board.
[chuckling] She's a dork.
I'm embarrassed for her.
Hey!
- What the fuck are you doing?
- Hey!
[in English] Come on.
[man 2, in Finnish]
Fucking lunatic! Get out of here.
- [man] Sara.
- Hm?
Check this out.
- [chuckles]
- Holy shit.
- Is this public information?
- Not yet.
I'll send out a press release
in the morning.
[whispers] The project is moving forward.
I need to get changed.
Oh, hi.
I'm sorry,
but I couldn't log into my computer.
Your speech is ready.
Do you want me to read it?
No.
We got 200 million from the EU.
- Why didn't I know about it?
- It's not public information yet.
I'll talk about it
at the City Council meeting.
- I don't think it's a good idea.
- I think it is.
Did you ask Henri about it?
No.
[sighs] Log out when you're done.
Hey, have you read
that the costs of your tunnel
have increased again?
Just as I predicted.
Come on.
You don't have any real reason
to oppose the tunnel.
Don't I?
No, it's just a power struggle.
I think it's a good reason,
maybe even the best.
People are smarter than you think.
We must be talking
about different people.
The world doesn't change
as fast as you'd like.
But it is changing.
[chuckles]
Your idea to involve voters
in decision-making is nice,
- but that's doomed to fail.
- [laughs]
I bet your tunnel project
will fail in two weeks due to cost issues.
When that happens,
your Pro-Change Movement will go with it.
The EU just granted our project
200 million euros.
CITY COUNCIL CHAMBER
- [indistinct conversation]
- [phone dings]
THE ATTACHMENT INCLUDES MATERIAL
TO DESTROY TULISUO.
[man] Please make a note in the minutes
that Mayor Sara Tulisuo has arrived.
Item 3. Ärende nummer tre.
[woman] Hi.
Where can I find Tapio Koskimäki?
- May I ask who you are?
- Kerttu Rütel.
- Tapio is expecting me.
- [receptionist] Yes.
- You're looking for Koskimäki?
- Yes.
- I'm going the same way.
- Oh, okay.
Hey, wait a minute.
You're Tapsa's daughter.
You live in Tallinn.
- Yes.
- It's a nice city.
- Mm.
- Kalle Sten.
- I know your dad well.
- Oh. Kerttu. Hi.
[receptionist] Here's your badge.
You should wear it the whole time.
- This way.
- Yes.
[bleeping and whirring]
I'm used to taking the ferry.
But there were people throwing up,
- and women in high heels were slipping.
- [laughing]
Yeah.
Is everything else okay?
- Have you had enough work?
- Mm, not really, but that's okay.
Okay. I can help you financially.
I don't need money, thanks.
[knocking at door]
- Oh, sorry
- Come on in.
Have you met? This is Kerttu.
Sofia Karppi.
[Kerttu] Kerttu. Hi.
I better get going.
- Okay.
- Bye.
My daughter came to visit me
for a couple of days.
Mm. I thought you wanted
to stay at the homicide unit.
They said it's not possible. Assholes.
[both laugh]
There's something
I wanted to discuss with you.
This has been my personal project.
- It's about these young people
- Let's discuss the Estonian victims first.
- Yes?
- I've been thinking about
the cloth they were blindfolded with.
I think the perpetrator wants
to say something.
Okay.
JP and Nurmi can continue from here.
We'll manage without you for one week.
- Sofia.
- Mm?
I suggested to Sten
that he appoint you as my replacement.
- What?
- It's just my suggestion.
It's not my decision.
- I haven't even applied for the job.
- I know.
But you still have time to apply.
- I don't want the job.
- You'd be good at this.
Yeah, but I'm not interested.
You haven't thought it through.
We also need women here
to make decisions.
Yeah, but I don't want the job.
- Where is he hiding? Koskimäki!
- [sighs]
You can't drink here alone.
Let's go.
Grab him. All right.
Now we'll get wasted, Tapio.
[man] On behalf of the police brass,
I'd like to thank you for your
meritorious work here downstairs,
and welcome you upstairs.
Cheers. Skål.
- [all] Skål.
Let's eat the cake.
They discovered the identity
of the frozen man.
Yeah?
Jaan Laanest. Unmarried.
No children.
He was in the Estonian Navy.
He worked as an electrician on ships.
No info on which ship he worked on last.
He has an address in Tallinn.
Okay.
JP said you know a campsite
where Estonian temp workers live.
I do.
Okay. So?
I'll show it to you if you take me home.
- I don't have a car.
- Yes, you do.
That's right. [clears throat]
[clicking]
[sniffs]
What?
Nothing.
[engine starts]
[breathing heavily]
[Sakari] Where do you see yourself
in ten years?
[Sofia] Doing this, I guess.
- This same thing?
- Mm.
You didn't apply
for Koskimäki's position?
- Of course not.
- Why not?
[sighs]
I don't want to look after people.
Emil and I are going
downhill skiing tomorrow.
- You?
- Yes.
- Downhill skiing?
- Mm.
Okay. [laughs]
- What?
- Good luck with that.
[crows cawing]
There's a caravan.
Behind the trees.
I don't see anyone.
The door is locked. Shall I open it?
Sure.
[Sakari sniffs]
[rattling inside]
There's someone inside.
Police! Open the door!
- [in English] Police! Open the door!
- [creaking]
[barking and whimpering]
[Sakari, in Finnish] Shit.
Is everything all right?
Yeah.
There's no one inside.
That fucking scared me.
It probably hasn't eaten in days.
Look.
Subutex.
- A dealer. He must have a stash nearby.
- [phone buzzing]
The Narcotics Unit can search the area.
I'll take photos.
Hi, honey.
I'm working. I'll be home soon.
Let's say four.
I'll check it when I get home.
It won't take long. Bye.
[Sakari] Okay. Let's go.
[man] Hey!
Sorry, did I drop my towel
somewhere up there?
On the ground.
[Henna] Yeah.
Thanks.
Are you going to swim too?
- [laughs] No, I am not going to swim.
- [chuckles]
Did you get lost or what?
Your sense of direction is really bad
if you get lost here.
Or your life is really boring
if you never get lost.
You don't know what you're missing.
It's easy to get hooked on this.
Maybe I don't want to get hooked.
Come eat with me, then.
Okay.
If you're buying.
I'm Jere.
Henna. Hi.
Give me a sec.
I'll get changed.
[train passing]
[sighs] All right.
Um
In honor
of the Helsinki-Tallinn Tunnel project,
the mayor is having a party at City Hall.
Could you drop by?
- Me?
- Yes.
I have to go to a meeting tonight.
It would be good if someone dropped in.
You know how much I enjoy
parties like that.
[sighs] I know that no one enjoys them,
but it is important to have good,
straight communication with the mayor.
Okay. I'll show my face there.
Great.
[chuckles]
[dog barking]
[phone ringing]
Nurmi.
- This is Anto Ots.
- Hi.
Our victim was Margus Mägi.
He worked on ships as an electrician.
Doing the same job as Laanest.
Mägi was working for a Finnish company
called Kaartamo Nordic.
They're building a terminal here.
Mägi worked on the project
as an electrician.
What terminal?
A ship terminal
needed for the construction
of the Helsinki-Tallinn Tunnel.
And there's going to be a terminal
in Helsinki also?
I assume.
Did you say "Kaartamo Nordic"?
Yes.
Okay.
- Hey, thanks.
- Bye.
Bye. Bye.
[tools rattling]
[gasps]
[loud clanging]
[squeaking]
What if I've forgotten how to ski?
[Sofia] You haven't.
It's like riding a bike.
Once you learn, you never forget.
- Dad should've taught you too.
- [laughs] Oh, yeah.
But I promise I'll learn.
I'll take a course or something.
I can't remember
what his voice sounds like.
Right. He had a beautiful voice.
I'm sure yours will be the same
when you grow up.
Mm-hm.
Your teacher said you've been
causing trouble. Is that true?
She's too strict.
Class B's teacher is more laid back.
Have you pushed or fought with someone?
No Matti always cuts in the line.
It's annoying.
I sometimes get angry
when he shoves me.
- Don't shove anybody.
- Matti shoves me and cuts in line.
And if anybody pushes Joonas,
I'll defend him.
Don't join in if someone starts a fight.
Stay away.
- Step up your game, okay?
- Yeah.
[phone ringing]
Koskimäki's phone. This is Kerttu.
This is Detective Sakari Nurmi.
Is Koskimäki at home?
No. He's at a party at City Hall.
His phone was too big for his suit pocket.
Okay. Can you ask him to call me
as soon as he gets home?
My name's Sakari Nurmi.
[phone buzzes]
Miss me already?
Jaan Laanest wasn't working on a ship,
but at the processing plant
where he was found.
He was held prisoner in the basement.
- You went there?
- Yeah.
The letters KN on his ID strap
stand for "Kaartamo Nordic."
They're doing the ship terminal.
He was an electrician.
- The tunnel project?
- Yep.
The other victim worked
for Kaartamo Nordic in Tallinn.
Two Estonian victims working
on the same project.
One frozen, the other hanged.
Both blindfolded.
Can I play for a while?
Half an hour.
And Subutex.
Koskimäki is somehow involved in this.
How do you know?
I found a blood-stained photo
of Koskimäki in the plant.
I think the perp was trying
to get info from the victim.
- Have you told Koskimäki?
- He's at a party at City Hall.
He left his phone at home.
Can you come get me now?
Okay.
I'll be there in 15 minutes. Bye.
[lively conversation and laughter]
[sighs]
- Yeah, because if Hey!
- Hey!
- I'm sorry.
- Sorry.
[woman clears throat]
[siren wailing]
You see him?
No.
Henri Kuusinen is there.
I'll go talk to him.
Okay.
[murmuring]
I'm Detective Sofia Karppi.
A moment, please?
Excuse me for a moment.
I'm looking for Chief Inspector
Tapio Koskimäki.
Tapio Koskimäki
I think he left already.
Where to? Home?
I don't know. Maybe.
When?
Maybe 15, 20 minutes ago.
Okay, thanks.
- He went home.
- Okay.
[chuckles] Are you stalking me?
Did you think an acting mayor
wouldn't get caught?
Pardon me?
Tomorrow the whole country
will find out about your deals.
- What are you talking about?
- Corruption.
[laughs]
It's a serious crime in this country.
- [both laughing]
- What the fuck are you talking about?
I saw your e-mails.
[switch clicks]
[switch clicks twice]
Hello!
Kerttu!
Are you home?
Hello?
[wind whistling]
[door creaks]
[gun fires twice]
[siren blaring]
[Sakari] No lights on in the house.
[doorbell buzzing]
I can see him. He's lying on the floor.
Watch out.
- [grunts]
- [glass breaks]
Shit.
Tapio.
He's breathing.
This is Detective Sakari Nurmi.
Officer down, shot at his home.
Tapio Koskimäki.
Hit in the chest,
and he has a mark on his head.
- Breathing but unconscious.
- The bullet went through.
He's lying on the wound,
so the bleeding isn't that severe.
Niittylahdenkuja 4.
Okay. Help is on the way.
The perp's gotta be nearby.
Go.
Police! Come out!
Fuck.
[rustling]
[breathing heavily]
[gasping]
Kert
[wheezing]
Shh. Don't speak. Help is on the way.
Kerttu is upstairs.
Press here.
- Don't let go.
- [muttering]
Press.
Don't move.
No
[sobs]
