The Meelika

1
[dog barking]
- [man] Search, boy. Find it.
- [radio chatter]
Here.
He left from here
and headed in that direction.
[sighs] Electric bikes like that
cost thousands.
That's why owners usually register them.
Can you look into it?
[man] Sure.
[line ringing]
[phone buzzing]
[sighs] Hello?
[Sakari] What's the situation?
Koskimäki is in surgery right now.
How are you holding up?
That son of a bitch killed his daughter.
Will you be okay there?
[Sofia] I'll call you later.
[radio chatter]
One registered bike owner lives nearby.
Okay. Let's go.
Let's alert the SWAT Team.
Let's roll!
Police! Freeze!
Show me your hands!
[gasping]
[sighs]
Do you own an electric bike?
Yeah.
It should be there.
Where is it, then?
Someone fucking stole it.
Right.
Hey.
It has a GPS tracker on it.
I can track it.
About 200 meters. We should see it soon.
Let's pull the truck over.
[siren whooping]
- Do you have an explanation?
- [driver] No.
- Did you stop somewhere?
- I stopped for coffee.
- Where?
- At the Kuninkaanmäki gas station.
Okay.
We'll take it from here. Thank you!
He knows how to avoid the CCTV cameras.
SLED DOG TRANSPOR
- [man] Hey, Nurmi!
- [dog barking]
We found tracks.
The dog picked up a scent.
[Sakari] Okay. Good.
Thanks.
Come see if any evidence can be collected.
Okay.
[footsteps approaching]
[Sofia whispers] Hey. Marjatta.
- You can go home.
- Oh.
Uh How did it go?
It went well.
How about you?
It went okay
All right.
In other occupations,
you'd have better hours and pay.
And your life would be easier.
Hm
There are always other options
for smart women.
Think about it.
Life's hard enough.
Don't kill yourself over a job.
Sleep tight!
[front door closes]
[seabirds calling]
[reporter] According to a tip
given to the media,
Mayor of Helsinki, Sara Tulisuo,
has accepted bribes.
She allegedly received shares
in casinos in international waters
in exchange
for appointing Kaartamo Nordic Ltd.
as the principal contractor
for the Helsinki-Tallinn tunnel project.
This morning,
a document was leaked to the press.
Allegedly, it is a copy of an e-mail
that Sara Tulisuo sent
three months ago to Krister Sandström,
CEO of Kaartamo Nordic.
Tulisuo denies the claims.
- Sandström is currently on vacation
- [Sara] Thanks.
and could not be reached for comment.
- What e-mail are they talking about?
- I don't know.
Either someone else sent it
or it doesn't even exist.
Someone is messing with us.
Paasijoki blew smoke up my ass
at the party, blabbering about bribes.
- Henri, get this sorted out.
- Yes.
There's a bunch of journalists in there.
Just tell them we'll investigate
the e-mails and everything.
Fuck that. Deny everything categorically.
You haven't accepted bribes.
You didn't write that e-mail.
Mikaela,
could you start going through my e-mails?
Aki will give you a ride.
Aki, Mikaela needs a ride.
[Mikaela] Okay. Bye.
HELSINKI-TALLINN TWIN CITY
PANEL DISCUSSION
[sighs]
Hi.
Poteri, National Bureau of Investigation.
Nurmi.
My condolences. I, too, knew Tapio.
Why does the NBI want to investigate this?
Because your boss asked us to.
This way, please.
Glass cutter.
The perpetrator turned off
the main breaker to shut off power.
He waited downstairs.
Koskimäki entered from there.
He stopped here.
Two shots. One in the chest,
the other grazed his temple,
and the bullet
ended up here.
Kerttu was upstairs.
She didn't hear the perp enter?
Maybe the perp didn't know she was here.
Kerttu had headphones on,
so she didn't hear the perp at first.
I'm guessing a track ended,
and Kerttu heard something.
Or she just went downstairs,
and the perp had to shoot her also.
From that landing,
Kerttu saw what had happened,
ran into her room, and then
The window was open.
Maybe she tried to escape through it.
The perp came to the door
and fired two more shots, both fatal.
She didn't realize the power was out.
The lights were out.
The streetlight illuminates the room.
And the neighbors didn't hear anything?
No. I bet the killer used a suppressor.
Hey.
[Poteri] That's what I think happened.
[sighs] Did the perp exit
the same way he came in?
[Poteri] I assume so.
Did you find
that light-colored fabric anywhere?
[Poteri] No.
[shutter clicks]
[Carl Sten]
On behalf of the police force and myself,
I'd like to express our deepest sympathy
for the loss of our beloved colleague,
Tapio Koskimäki.
Tapio was a great police officer.
He always looked up at the sky
as he was a devout bird-watcher.
But
there's no time to mourn yet.
We have to track down the perpetrator.
Chief Inspector Jorma Kulju
is now leading the department.
Jorma, why don't you take over now?
I have to go to a press conference.
Sure. Thanks.
Please show the photo.
[clears throat]
This is currently our prime suspect.
He was caught on CCTV
at the Kuninkaanmäki gas station
roughly ten hours ago.
Uh Nurmi? [clears throat]
[Sakari] All right.
The first victim was Jaan Laanest.
He was found frozen to death
in a former fish processing plant
that is being converted
into a terminal for Kaartamo Nordic.
He worked on ships before, most recently
onshore in Tallinn and Helsinki.
The second victim was Margus Mägi.
He was found strangled near Tallinn.
He worked on the terminal
construction site in Tallinn.
Both were blindfolded
with similar fabrics.
We're trying to determine its origin.
Laanest and Mägi used The Meelika,
a freighter,
for their frequent travel
between Helsinki and Tallinn.
Not surprisingly,
the ship is owned by Kaartamo Nordic.
These guys have another thing in common.
Uh, JP?
Laanest and Mägi both have
criminal records for drug possession
and served a couple of short sentences
for minor drug offenses.
This time, they were involved
in something bigger.
Subutex was found in the camper.
This stash was found nearby.
It had been used
to distribute drugs to dealers.
It was empty when it was found.
Okay. Anything else?
One more photo.
Peltola, please show it. [clears throat]
We ran this letter combination
through our database.
No hits so far.
I'll take this case.
Sweetie, I can't do anything about it.
You promised we'd go skiing
as a Christmas present.
- We will, just not right now.
- You're a liar.
[sighs] We'll go to HopLop adventure park
this weekend.
Mm-mm. Nope, I wanna go skiing.
- Let's talk after school.
- You're a shitty mom.
Emil!
Emil
[door locks]
[groans]
Emil, come out.
[rattling]
What are you throwing in there?
Open the door now. Emil!
I'll take your screen time away from you.
Three, two, one.
Sweetie.
I won't
Wait. Hold on a second!
- Have you worn somebody else's hat?
- No.
You have head lice.
Stop! Don't touch me!
[children playing]
Emil, you need a ride?
Have a good day at school, hon.
[Sofia sighs]
Sorry you had to wait.
I had to wash Emil's hair. He has lice.
- Stay away from me.
- [sighs]
How are you feeling?
Really shitty.
Emil is mad because we didn't go skiing.
Mm.
This was found behind the gas station.
The suspect probably dropped it.
This is a grave locator number.
Really?
Yeah.
Okay.
Here it is.
Sixteen years old.
Look at the name.
J-I-M.
Koskimäki didn't have time
to finish writing the name.
ESTONIAN MAN FOUND FROZEN TO DEATH -
DRUGS INVOLVED
Hey, you. Good morning!
[sighs] Sorry, I was tired.
It's only a little after 4:00 p.m.
- [chuckles]
- Really? Damn!
Mm.
[in English] Thanks.
[sniffs]
[in Finnish] Well
I've been clean for two years.
That's okay.
- Are you sure?
- Yes.
Congratulations. Two years.
Thanks.
I have to go. You can stay if you want.
I also have things to do.
Okay.
May I sleep here again tonight?
Yes.
- Bye!
- Bye.
[Carl murmuring]
- Let's touch base later on.
- Sure.
- Sure.
- Later.
- We'll talk tomorrow. Yes.
- Yes. Bye.
- Bye.
- Bye.
- Karppi.
- Mm-hm?
- So you took Koskimäki's case.
- Yes.
You'll get all the help you need.
All you have to do is ask.
Okay.
Do you have any idea
of the perpetrator's motives?
Not yet.
- Okay. I have a favor to ask.
- Mm?
A newspaper called
and asked for Koskimäki's obituary.
Could you write it?
Uh No. Um
You knew him best.
[sighs]
I think he'd want you to write it.
[sighs]
He would've known I wouldn't do it.
How come?
Because I've got nothing to say.
[distant siren wailing]
[man shouts]
Is something happening now?
Jypi, zoom in a bit, please.
[Jypi on radio] Okay.
- [woman] Do you have bupe?
- [Henna] Yeah.
[woman] How much?
[Henna] It's 70 per piece
and 400 per strip.
[officer 1] Do you recognize her?
[officer 2] No. Must be someone new.
You can zoom out now.
[Jypi] Copy.
Do you know what "Finland" means
in Myanmar?
- Where?
- Formerly known as Burma.
No.
It means "to moon."
Huh. Okay.
[Jypi] Subject approaching from the right,
emerging soon
from behind the red building.
There he is.
Police! Stop!
Stop!
[grunting]
[yells]
- Put your hands behind your back!
- [man grunts]
- Calm down!
- [man] You're breaking my hand!
- Calm down! I'm going to handcuff you now.
- Let go!
[man] Hands off!
JIMI AHO
CUSTODY ORDER
[Sofia] Jimi Aho's mother passed away
when he was two.
After that, he lived with his father,
whose drinking problem got worse
over time.
As a teenager, Jimi kept running away
and was taken into custody
until he moved back to his dad's.
Dad must have been doing better
periodically.
Typical for kids of alcoholics.
What does it say about Jimi's last months?
He was an intern on a ship,
working as a deck mechanic.
Room and board must have been included,
because he practically lived on the ship.
But guess what ship it was.
- The Meelika?
- Yup.
About a month ago,
he was reported missing from The Meelika.
A week later, his body was found
in the sea off the coast of Porvoo.
His father Jukka identified the body.
Was there a criminal investigation?
NO CRIMINAL INVESTIGATION WAS CONDUCTED
No.
Strange.
[whirring]
[door unlocks]
[door opens]
This is Jimi Aho's death certificate.
Take a look at the signature.
- [Sakari] Koskimäki.
- [Sofia] Mm.
What the hell?
Why did he go to Porvoo to sign this?
Maybe because he has a summer place there.
According to this,
no autopsy was performed.
- It should've been done.
- Mm.
The second signature is Dr. Tiina Selin.
She works at the Porvoo Hospital,
but she also has a private practice
- adjoining her residence in Helsinki.
- Hm.
SELIN HEALTH CLINIC
[phone ringing]
Tiina Selin.
Detective Sofia Karppi,
Criminal Investigation Police.
- Good evening.
- Good evening.
Uh would you have time to meet today
regarding a death certificate
you have signed?
- Whose?
- Jimi Aho's, about a month ago in Porvoo.
I'm seeing one more patient.
Okay. So
The appointment was just made,
but you can come
in 45 minutes.
- Got it. Thank you, bye.
- Thank you.
[sighs]
[Jere sighs deeply]
Should we head out?
I think I'm too tired.
What's the matter?
Tell me.
Well
I knew this guy, Jaan.
[sighs] He's an Estonian dealer.
Mm-hm.
He lived in a camper in Vuosaari.
One time
I saw him come out of the woods.
You found his stash?
Yeah.
Did you steal a drug dealer's stash?
[sighs]
Let's bring it back to him.
Jaan is dead.
ESTONIAN MAN FOUND FROZEN TO DEATH -
DRUGS INVOLVED
- Murdered.
- Yeah.
- [sighs] Do they know who did it?
- I don't think so.
[sighs heavily]
I've got drugs nobody is looking for.
- Worth about 30,000.
- And you want to get rid of them?
- Of course. But
- [chuckles]
I don't want to sell them on the street.
Definitely not.
- But I'm homeless.
- [sighs]
I don't have a job or money.
Do you know what 30,000 would mean?
Yes. [clears throat]
[sniffs]
However, I can't get involved in this.
[Jere inhales]
[sighs deeply]
[doorbell rings]
Hi. Are you the one who called earlier?
Come on in, please.
Please sit down.
What's your social security number?
I'll enter it into the system.
How long did you know Koskimäki?
Fifteen years.
So you were 20 or so when you guys met.
Mm.
He believed in me.
He helped me when I first started.
I was pretty clueless back then.
And then someone shot him
and his daughter in his home.
It's so unfair.
That should never happen to anyone.
- You didn't have to take the case.
- Of course I had to.
I knew him well.
That might help the investigation.
[buzzing]
Police!
She did say to come in 45 minutes.
I'll call her.
It's dark inside.
[phone ringing]
Hey. Her phone is ringing inside.
Call the superintendent.
- Okay.
- [whirring overhead]
[Sofia] Hi.
Detective Karppi, Criminal Investigation.
How long have you been filming here?
For about 30 minutes.
- What are you filming?
- Nothing.
These buildings. I was checking out
how well the camera works in the dark.
- Does it work well?
- Really well.
We need to take a look at the footage.
[Sofia] Look.
He forced her into the van.
[Sofia] He probably taped her mouth shut.
It's impossible to see the license plate.
Damn it!
Check this out.
That's the van.
SNK-142.
[whispers] SNK-142.
Recorded ten minutes ago.
I need the SD card.
Nurmi here. Put out a BOLO
on license plate SNK-142.
[man speaking indistinctly]
Yes. Thanks.
[Sofia] Check all traffic cameras
in the area.
All available patrol units dispatched,
be on the lookout.
[engine splutters]
- [sighs]
- What the hell is it now?
You should've gotten
this fuel gauge fixed.
Why me? You should've bought gas.
[sighs]
I think there's a gas station that way.
I'll walk there.
- You wait here.
- Wait, my ass.
[grunts] Open the damn door.
[both grunting]
[men talking]
[engine starts]
- [vehicle approaching]
- [gasps]
Hey, stop!
- I need your vehicle.
- [man] Why?
- Just get out.
- [sighs]
Move it!
[phone ringing]
[ringing continues]
Karppi's phone. This is Sakari Nurmi.
This is Kulju.
Let me talk to Karppi, please.
She's not here.
She left her phone in my car.
[sighs] We were notified
that she took someone's vehicle.
What?
She must've seen the van
and gone after it.
- Where?
- No clue.
