Karppi (2018) s02e04 Episode Script

1
Of course I'll do it
if he wants to exchange Iida for me.
It's not quite that simple.
- Why not, if Iida gets rescued?
- You would probably both get killed.
[sighs]
Do you recognize this boy?
No. Who is he?
Jimi Aho.
What does he have 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 killed,
as well as the doctor who signed Jimi's
death certificate, and a police officer.
Now the killer is after you.
Do you have any idea why?
No.
[sighs] 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 85.
Were there any other members
of the Movement on board?
Henri.
Did he leave with you on the helicopter?
No, I left alone.
Aren't you involved in bribery allegations
in connection to Kaartamo Nordic?
Yes, but they're all bogus.
The whole e-mail brouhaha is just a bluff.
So you didn't take bribes?
[scoffs] Absolutely not.
Any idea who might be
behind these allegations?
[Sara] No.
What are you going to say
to the kidnapper?
Nothing yet.
- [phone buzzes]
- He'll contact us again shortly.
[phone rings]
Hi.
Okay.
The van was found.
Thank you.
[officer] Clear!
Take a look.
Those could have been left by Iida.
The stash isn't here.
Did you take it somewhere else?
They want it back.
Fucking call me!
[clattering]
[sighs] Yes. The color can be
traced back to Iida's nails.
It matches the nail polish
found in the kitchen.
She tried to leave a clue behind.
That's the only security camera,
but it's off,
so nothing has been recorded
for the past couple of days.
View the footage from all the cameras
from the past 30 days.
- We only have one camera.
- Covering the whole area.
- [woman] How's Sara doing?
- [Mikaela sighs]
Pretty good,
considering the circumstances.
- Did the abductor kill 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.
[Henri] Mm.
If you have any questions or concerns,
please do not hesitate to contact 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.
- Hm.
- Nobody knows you.
Besides, Sara is the face of the movement.
Maybe it's time to grow up
and reassign the responsibilities,
don't you think?
We cannot change our strategy
just like that.
Hey, hey, why don't I call Tuomainen?
We'll let her interview you.
- If you say it's a good idea, I'll do it.
- Oh, is this how decisions are made now?
In my opinion, we should focus more on
Hey, hey.
- Let's break for lunch.
- Hm.
Henri.
- Are you trying to take Sara's place?
- No.
That's what it looks like to me.
Do you really think I want to be
in the middle of the shit storm? Hell, no!
Take a look at these numbers.
If the elections were held today,
we'd get two MPs.
It would mark the end of the movement.
Right, but you can't pull the rug
from under Sara's feet
when she's going through
the toughest time of her life.
That's not what this is about.
Quite the contrary, actually.
We just have to keep things together
until her return.
- And that suits you just fine, doesn't it?
- Cut it out.
[sighs]
The good thing about this is
the corruption charges
will be all but forgotten.
No, they won't.
[sighs] 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?
God damn it!
Apparently, Emil is bullying
someone in school,
but he says he's the one
who's being bullied.
Maybe you should spend more time with him.
You're saying, "Go home. You've got kids"?
I neither meant or said it that way.
What do you mean, then?
[sighs] In my opinion, Emil isn't 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 fear of some catastrophe,
- or force an adult to tell me everything.
- Forget about it.
Who the fuck are you to give me advice?
- You asked for advice.
- No, I explained what was going on.
What do you know about kids,
responsibility, or anything?
I know absolutely nothing about them.
[Poteri] Karppi! Nurmi!
Please get over here.
[clattering]
[Poteri] 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. [clears throat]
I'm sure she understands
we cannot 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 instance, 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 drugs
and corruption?
[Sofia] I disagree.
That's fine, but I'd like to hear
other opinions as well.
Iida has been missing for almost 24 hours.
It is imperative
to get this photo distributed
- as widely as possible.
- [clapping]
All right. She contacted us again.
She told us how, where, and when
we can exchange Tulisuo for Iida.
- We can't give into her demands.
- Yeah, okay. I have an idea.
JP, whatever.
We can't give into her demands.
Karppi. Be quiet.
Uh That idea sucks ass!
Let's listen to JP's idea.
There's the fucking murderer.
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.
[scoffs]
Don't be fucking ridiculous!
You've been in Koskimäki's position
for, like, two days.
- You're right. I'm no Koskimäki.
- Well, you really aren't!
Maybe he put up with your yapping.
I will not.
Beat it, before I get mad for real.
[JP] Here we go again.
Right. Please continue.
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 holler
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.
All righty, then you owe me 30 grand.
Do you have cash here,
- or do we need to swing by an ATM?
- No, I don't.
What the fuck have you done?
Huh?
Go take care of the food
so it doesn't burn.
All right.
I arranged a way for you
to pay back the debt.
You'll bring another batch of Subutex
- from Tallinn.
- [scoffs] Absolutely not.
- You'll also make 3,000.
- No, thanks.
If you don't have money or the drugs,
you'll have to do this. Get it?
Whatever.
I'm not going to smuggle drugs
from Estonia.
Do you understand that this is not a game?
Hm.
It took some serious effort
to get this arranged for you.
Mm.
We'll take the 10:30 ferry.
We'll have time to eat before that.
I'm not eating that slop.
You should learn to eat vegetarian.
Climate change. Glaciers are melting.
[sniffs]
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.
Uh 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
regarding Jimi?
Anything. It's all 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 died,
I couldn't do it by myself.
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.
[door opens]
[door slams]
[indistinct conversation]
The car will probably stop around here.
- Okay.
- You'll be able to see it from there.
Has anybody asked Tulisuo's opinion?
- On what?
- This plan.
She was happy
that something was happening.
- [Jorma] Did anybody ask your opinion?
- What?
Do you want your tax money to be wasted
on that tunnel?
Well?
Uh I have to get a new battery.
[phone ringing]
- Hello?
- [Sakari] Hi.
Listen up.
The perpetrator'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 assisted living
place 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 so on in Estonia.
[Jorma] 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.
[radio chatter]
Should we ask Karppi to come here?
[phone buzzing]
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. [sighs]
- [phone chimes]
- 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.
[Sasha] 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,
meet me on the stern deck.
- Okay?
- Mm.
Take this.
This way, you can contact me
if absolutely necessary.
It's a prepaid phone.
- Don't use it for anything else.
- Okay.
- Do you understand?
- Yeah, sure.
Hey. Everything will go smoothly.
[sniffs]
You go first.
[phone dings]
[phone dings]
[sighs]
MATTI:
I'LL BRING THE MONEY TOMORROW, 50 EUROS
MATTI:
AND YOU'LL STOP BULLYING ME, RIGHT?
[line ringing]
- [Sakari] 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?
[man on radio] We hear and see you.
- How's Pia?
- [Jorma] We're getting ready to roll.
- Are you ready? Take your place.
- Okay.
JP, get in.
Lights out. Now!
[van door slams]
[drone whirring]
Command center to all units.
The perpetrator has been identified.
Be prepared to use firearms.
Sniper 1, copy.
Sniper 2, copy.
Sniper 3, copy.
The subject is in sight.
Can you see the girl in the car?
[sniper 1] Not yet, the target is too far.
We can see the driver. Female.
[sniper 3] 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?
[sniper 1] Only the driver is visible.
Pia, get out of the way.
She's not going to yield.
- Go!
- [tires screeching]
[sirens blaring]
Police! Freeze!
Hands in the air!
Hands in the air!
Get out of the car!
Get on the ground! Down!
The subject is not "tango."
I repeat, the subject is not "tango."
[Sakari sighs]
[phone ringing]
- 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.
- [hangs up]
Hey, listen.
[Peltola] Yes?
I'll take these out to them.
Uh wouldn't it be better
if I took them?
I've got it. Go grab some for yourself.
Okay.
[radio chatter]
- Here's a little snack.
- Thank you so much.
- Please share with your colleague.
- Of course.
[door closes]
Should anything come up, I'll be upstairs.
- [radio bleeps]
- [officer] We got some snacks.
You want some, or should I eat them both?
- [bleep]
- I'll come right away.
[over radio] 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.
[indistinct chatter]
- [radio chatter]
- [footsteps approaching]
- [Sakari] A box.
- [JP] Mm.
Hold this, please.
You only live frigging once.
- [beeps loudly]
- Damn it!
A GPS app.
[JP] This must be the girl's location.
She sent us the girl's location.
Okay. Good.
- [sniffs]
- [drone whirring]
Which direction?
Head
- Uh
- North.
- Due north.
- Mm.
About 500 to 600 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.
Fuck!
All units, in that direction.
Follow my car. That car. Out of the way.
- Let's go!
- Nurmi!
[siren wailing]
All right, let's go get the girl.
Something's wrong.
Why?
[Poteri] Hieta, go lower with the drone.
[coughs] I can't get any lower.
Lower. Now!
[sighs]
I'm navigating based on the video feed.
[Poteri] Lower. Lower.
- Lower
- [static crackling]
Secure the back.
Iida!
Are you inside?
Iida!
Look!
On the roof.
Order everybody to stay outside.
Right now!
Nobody is to go
- [static crackling]
- [Carl's voice breaking up]
JP!
[gasping]
[creaking and crashing]
[fire roaring]
This is Peltola.
- What's up?
- Damn it.
The mission failed.
Damn!
There was an explosion.
JP was injured.
Badly?
I don't know. He's on his way
to the hospital. Nurmi is with him.
[siren wailing]
- [Sofia] Are you okay?
- Yeah.
It was a trap.
She set off a bomb 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?
She snuck out somehow.
I think Routa contacted her
and orchestrated the whole thing.
Well, fuck. This went well.
Well
Bye.
Okay, bye.
Stop!
Stop!
Stop!
Then she told me to get out of the car.
We went down some stairs.
[sniffles] I took a tumble.
Into a basement?
Or was it maybe a tunnel?
Could be.
There was no moldy smell.
It smelled more like rocks.
Okay.
I 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?
Based on 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.
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.
[Iida] Okay.
Will you find Mom?
We'll try.
[sighs]
[Peltola] Karppi.
This was found
a couple of hundred meters from here.
[phone ringing]
- Tulisuo's phone.
- Okay.
She probably got into a car.
Yes.
Okay.
What?
Routa called.
[Carl] Stop babbling.
Learn to speak Finnish.
There were too many frigging variables.
The fact is,
this operation was totally botched.
- [Sofia] How is JP?
- [whirring]
[Jorma] He'll be okay.
[Sakari] She must be hiding her IP
through multiple proxies.
[whirring continues]
[Sara shivering]
[sniffles]
- [woman] Read.
- [gasping]
"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 politicians
of the Pro-Change Movement,
who were promoting the tunnel project.
However, a brutal murder took place
on the ship.
It was covered up so those involved
and their scheming
wouldn't be found out."
[sniffles]
- [sobbing] I'm not reading this.
- [woman] 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 murder
so that nobody would find out
that Mayor Sara Tulisuo was"
Fuck, I'm not going to read this shit!
I'm not reading this, you goddamn lunatic!
