Original subtitles

The first operation went fine,

but then there were complications.

The second one was touch and go.

What was Aikio even doing there? How come he was there?

A junior colleague told Aikio had been following us for some time.

When we left to solve the nursing home murders,

he followed us in Alma's car.

You didn't shoot him.

I've got some work things, are you up for it?

FBI sent us more info.

They identified the terrorist whose place they raided in DC.

Ella Bolmaro, an astrophysicist.

Worked for seven years at NASA's NEO program,

led by our Dr. Sprout.

1.5 years ago she disappeared and hid with a fake identity.

She had mental problems before leaving her job.

That's her.

This woman asked for Niilo yesterday. This woman!

Send me the photo, Alma must know something.

That's our Airbnb client.

- What? Where? - Arttu's old place is empty.

- Was she staying there? - Yes.

She might have taken Aikio's gun, we couldn't find it.

Only clothes. Looks like nobody ever stayed there.

I want to find the Hovatta people.

I want to find them. Everything is breaking apart.

Dr. Sprout has flown to Finland today.

Someone should go see him, we need more info on Ella Bolmaro.

- We need more people from Helsinki. - Yes.

I'll deal with that and ask the NBI to send someone to replace me.

- What do you mean? - I can't be trusted with a gun.

Or anything with responsibility.

I have delusions.

I hear voices.

As soon as I'm alone, my head is filled with chaos.

I should have told you earlier, but..

I've only got my intellect, and without it, I can't be a cop.

Then I don't know what I'll do.

- What kind of voices? - All kinds. Speech and stuff.

- What does the voice say? - I don't know, it's not Finnish.

Some foreign language, Middle Eastern, I don't recognize it.

The same sentences repeat in a loop.

It sounds a bit... religious.

Religious?

- What if there's a message? - Yeah.

The message is that I'm crazy.

My dad went crazy and now I've gone crazy.

You can't quit and leave me alone with this case.

- I hear voices. - Fine. We'll figure them out.

I don't care if you shoot them all.

I don't want you to end up like Niilo.

When you're done,

go get the rest of the dry food we brought here in the summer.

- What's this? - What?

- On my forehead this morning. - What does it say?

For perfect baby-making.

- For perfect... - One can dream.

- Is it dad posting these? - Yes.

- I think he heard us last night. - I see.

I do love making a baby with you.

But isn't it dangerous? Just thinking about your virus.

Not any more, I've got meds for it.

It almost destroyed all of my eggs,

but now I feel there are new ones.

Marita.

- Where are you going today? Hitchhiking to Denmark? - No.

To Repojoki. Let's go.

- All right. - Don't spend too much.

That's why we're going around, I don't want to take a loan.

- Bye. - What did you forget?

Byebye.

Drive carefully.

- Aw. - Shut up.

We assume Aikio's shooter Tuomas Hovatta is on the run

with his mother Raakel Hovatta.

The family truck is gone.

Raakel Hovatta's car is Volkswagen pickup Taro, year 1990.

The license plate is in your briefs.

We will get help from the NBI tomorrow,

but let's start the search now.

So mother and son, both farmers,

selling firewood, plowing snow and other small services.

No record of near family or near friends.

Reitala and Nurmi, go to the farm and see if you can find information.

The others will canvass the neighbors and clients.

I have a hunch they're not too far,

but as you know, there's plenty of wilderness.

Why did Hovatta's son shoot at Aikio?

The Hovattas may be connected to the nursing home mass murders.

Aikio was wounded while looking into it with me.

Wasn't the nursing home an accident?

We don't know yet, and I ask you not to spread any rumors.

We have a third person to find.

Ella Bolmaro, a US citizen.

Last worked for the NASA in their CNEOS program.

Arrived in Finland and Ivalo 6 days ago.

Her rental car specs are in your briefs.

Bolmaro is armed, and so are the Hovattas,

so prepare for armed conflict.

Why are we looking for her?

Kautsalo and I will soon meet

with the SpaceGuard conference people.

Meaning what?

Meaning we will get more information as we go along.

Okay, let's get to work. Thank you.

You're pretty handy with your little brother.

Mom has taught me.

- Did mom really trust you to take care of Santeri alone? - Yes.

- At first, she didn't want to, but she is swamped at work. - Okay.

- Jarmo, would you know how to care for a one-year-old alone? - Nope.

Dad, if you and Marita have a baby, Jarmo needs to learn to care for it.

There you go. Did you hear that?

- Tell us... - Well?

It's going to be the two of us.

How can I figure out what the voice in my head is saying?

We need to get the message out of your head first.

If it's always the same message, you must know it by heart now.

- Yes, at least parts of it. - Record it.

Repeat it and record it with your phone.

Then we'll find someone who can understand it.

I might have an idea for that.

Here he is.

- Pleased to meet you. - Hi.

Dr. Sprout! Hi, Nina Kautsalo.

- Yeah, I got your message. - Stenius.

- We appreciate this. - Good. They're waiting for me.

And I'm a couple of days late, so...

Yes. Could we still have a short talk?

- Yeah, sure. - Let's go this way.

Yeah, I know Ella.

I used to date her for almost two years.

Well, at least I thought I knew her.

We need to find her.

So we would appreciate anything you can tell us about her.

- Is she here, in Ivalo? - Yes, I'm afraid so.

Oh...

Ella is a rare bird.

A very gifted astrophysicist

at the same time as being a die-hard Christian.

She comes from a very religious and pious family.

So in the CNEOS program, when we calculated

the timing of the last visit of the Eiscat comet,

- we found something. - We know.

You found that the last time the comet visited our solar system

was around the time when Christ was supposedly born.

Good. Then you understand this was huge news for Ella, like

the star of Betlehem, a great joy.

And unfortunately, when we decided amongst the SpaceGuard community to

keep the last visit of the comet secret from the public

until the comet safely passed us, everything changed.

Ella confessed to me that she believed

people working in the CNEOS program were devil worshipers

and that's the reason why they were hiding the truth.

Now I tried to calm her, reason with her,

and she accused me of being a Satanist.

And that's when we broke up. Next week, she went missing.

It's appalling how silly superstitious beliefs

the effect they can have on the human mind,

even to someone as clever as Ella.

I assumed she had done something to herself until

the FBI just before my departure

told me about the raid in her undercover apartment.

Look, I'm sorry, I really need to go.

Can you think of any reason why she would travel here?

Like anything.

Well, as far as Ella's concerned,

this conference is a meeting of devil worshipers.

And what do you do with a bunch of devil worshipers?

You stop them, I guess, by whatever means necessary.

I... I hope you find her as soon as you can.

Thank you.

- How long has this been on the market? - Is that any of your business?

- Just thinking of your price. It's quite cheap. - Yes.

- I'll just peek in the cab. - It's all on the papers.

Fucking hell.

- Didn't take you for superstitious. - What's that smell?

Can I smell?

I figured the new owner would reupholster it.

- There are no maggots, I washed it three times. - Why?

The previous owner died in there.

His heart stopped beating at a rest stop.

How long was he in there?

I'll lower the price by 10 grand.

How long was it before they found him in there?

20,000 and it's a deal.

The best truck on the road.

You can't get anything better for that price.

Hello.

Thanks.

I thought you don't have family.

That's a lot of food.

Don't want to shop every day.

- You've beeen hard to get hold of. - Don't have a cell phone.

Don't like them. I have a landline at home.

But you never go home?

I went to Tornio, on your business.

I met another religious history expert, or actually his widow.

Ritva let me dig his husband's archives.

Tell me everything. I can help you with the groceries.

Who are t'hese people in Tornio?

Ritva Koljonen and her Iate husdand, Matti Koljonen.

Matti died the summer before last.

Now I know, what scared the elders of Lapland.

Antti Taimen was originally from Western Lapland.

When Laestadius died in 1861,

Antti went to Norway in search of Mary of Lapland,

the biggest spiritual muse of Laestadius

and gave him absolution.

Antti's journey lasted for over a year.

When he returned to Tornio, he told his followers

what Mary of Lapland had revealed to him.

The Christ will return to Earth when exactly 2000 years have passed,

not from his birth, but his death.

The God will put a sign on the skies,

the star that Matthew's gospel mentions.

- The star of Betlehem? - Yes.

And Mary had said the Christ won't be born as a baby,

but a grown man from the family of Antti Taimen.

- How can you be born as a grown man? - Through reverse communion.

In the holy communion, Jesus gave his disciples wine

saying it's his blood, the blood of the covenant.

It is bled for the forgiveness of everyone's sins.

In the reverse holy communion,

the Christ to be reborn, of the family of Antti Taimen,

is first killed by sticking a needle to his heart.

Killed? Why?

Then he is resurrected by giving him

blood from believers' hearts to drink.

And that's when he will be reborn as the new Christ.

When Antti returned from Norway,

he brought a silver chalice, the communion cup

he said Mary had given him

for this procedure.

The chalice had a sign carved to it.

- These letters mean... - In hoc signo.

In this sign. Where is this chalice?

This is the first I hear of it, no idea.

When Antti was banned from the church,

he and his smattering of followers

moved somewhere in East Lapland, where his mother was from.

His only brother Pekka moved to the US with his family.

Nobody is known to have preached Taimenism among believers.

The later Taimenians sure wanted to stay far away from the church,

- as they were told to. - Yes.

- Thank you. - You're welcome.

KERMATTA'S NURSING HOME

WHAT IS THE BLOOD FOR?

KERMATTA'S NURSING HOME

- What are you doing? - What does it look like?

- Interrogating myself. - Good.

- Now I know why they killed the nursing home residents. - Oh?

Yes. 2000 years.

The followers of Antti Taimen believe

they will resurrect a new Christ

when exactly 2000 years have passed from the death of the previous Christ.

They make the chosen one drink blood from believers.

- So you found your Dr. Sonka? - Yes.

And I added up the victim's ages at the time of their death.

2000 years exactly.

Some had to be moved away, because they were the wrong age.

The added age of the victims must be exactly 2000 years

and they all need to be members of the church.

- But one thing I don't get. - Just one?

According to Sonka, the Taimenians believe

the new Christ can hail only from the Taimen family, but...

- They're all dead ages ago. - Yes.

Oh for goodness' sake!

Ossi. Ossi, hey!

Have you come all the way here?

I'm looking for the bank. Have they moved it?

Hilkka called and told me to come get her.

I'll go ask if I can take you home.

- Don't go anywhere. - I live in a nursing home now.

- Ossi, stay put. - I...

We've done our best, everyone.

Jape, we don't need to look any more.

We'll do as everyone else, go online.

There are too many of them and they all suck.

- We've seen ones that suck even more. - True.

We'll find something that suits our family.

Right? What do you say, dude?

- Where are you going? - To get today's paper.

- Do you need it? - I always read the paper.

- They're looking for us. - The police can't watch every kiosk.

- And to you? - 20 euro prepaid SIM card.

And this.

Lord, have mercy on thy servant.

Know therefore

that the Lord, your God, is God.

He keeps his covenant.

For thousands of years

he will be true to those who love him

and... keep his commandments.

Hi, Nina. We're in the...

I know where Aila Männistö is. She's sitting on our sofa.

Well, if it's all right with Aino, I'll bring her over in an hour.

Sure.

- The police need your help. - Huh?

Yes.

You haven't changed yet?

- When are we leaving? - Tuomas!

Saana's list of the sacrificed. Find Topi Nevala there.

- Yes. - Year of birth?

- 1926. - And look at this!

1927

- Not 1926? - No.

This is exciting.

For so many nights and days

I've only been praying and then God talks to you.

- Why? - Let's see.

Who has claimed that?

Nobody has claimed anything.

Aila is our old friend and she has experience

of voices that can't be explained.

Well, here we have one. This is not maybe...

- exactly the same, but... - Just play it.

And then it continues in a foop, repeating the same all over again.

- You want to hear it again? - No.

That's no angel.

They talk in plain Finnish to me.

It could be an evil spirit.

Or just gibberish.

- Didn't sound too convincing. - To me, it did.

Oh darling, you're a beginner in believing,

taking your first baby steps.

You have a long way to go yet.

I'm gonna go feed my dogs.

- Thank you, Aila. - Thanks.

That was some weird talking. Phew.

Sorry, I have to take this.

It's Ylikorpi. Hello.

Can you ask if the comet is really as sing?

- Ask who? - God, of course.

Can I still have a baby?

You asked me to dig into the mental hospital archives

- about Kerttu Taimen. - Yes.

I ran into a name we know. Martti Sonka.

- You mean Dr. Sonka? - Niin.

Before he became our general practitioner,

he was the GP at Seilaniemi for about four years.

Okay, thanks.

- Where's Stenius? - He just left.

You're coming with me.

- Where? - Now!

Yes, from the Ivalo News.

We ran the passing announcement of your beloved Topi today,

but we discovered the year of birth didn't match the official information.

So we wonder if we made a mistake.

Really?

But that is...

I'll be.

The Nevala family has always known

Topi's year of birth is wrong in the nursing home papers.

One year off. They thought it doesn't matter.

Does it?

All the sacrificial blood is mixed up together!

In here!

But it doesn't have the sacrificial blood of believers

worth 2000 years,

but exactly worth 1999 years.

It's totally useless! The star is up in the sky now!

Soon, it will disappear. The communion has to happen now.

Where can we get the blood of the new covenant?

Don't worry. We only need one year.

We just add blood from a baby who is one year old.

At the moment it dies. When it's sacrificed.

Only the second coming of Christ makes boys into full men,

filling their blind eyes with the bright light of redemption.

We have to get God's permission first.

But I know exactly who the sacrificial baby is.

Now, let's get Mary's chalice.

- Did you come to arrest me again? - Eh, no, I need your help.

Play it one more time.

- It's not Arabic or Farsi, but... - It's not.

- I think it's Hebrew. - You think?

- I listened to some Hebrew... - It's old Hebrew.

Torah's Hebrew.

My fiancé helped his nephew

when the boy studying for his bar mitzva.

I listened to them for weeks.

- Okay. Do you understand what... - No.

I can send the recording to Daniel. His uncle is a rabbi.

Okay. Give me your email.

Where are you? You didn't answer your phone.

- At the hotel. - Now, Sonka is missing.

The front door has a lot of snow, he hasn't been there for some time.

Are you at Sonka's now?

Sonka worked at the mental hospital when Kerttu was there.

When Kerttu and the baby died, Sonka disappeared,

just as Saana and Raakel did.

Sonka said he'd been to Tornio

to get more information about the Taimenians for us.

I called the lady he mentioned.

She hasn't seen Sonka in 10 years.

When her late husband wanted information on the Taimenians,

he called no other than Martti Sonka,

because Sonka is the leading expert on Taimenians in Finland.

- So? - Sonka is involved in this, has been all the time.

What if Sonka became the leader of Taimenians after Johannes Taimen?

- Guess what? - What?

The US Embassy couriered the books over.

The US Embassy couriered the books;over.

- What books? - The ones from Ella's apartment in DC,

about the Finnish immigrants in the US.

- Nothing. - Okay.

Open the door!

Try to be quiet about it.

Praise the Lord!

When something is holy, they soul and the eyes both see it.

Comets are usually named for their discoverers.

I had no way of knowing who you people are nowadays,

under what name you go now.

Lower the flashlight.

But one thing I did know, was that sooner or later

the last of you would have to come here.

- For the chalice. - Who the hell are you?

Your founder, your prophet,

he's been deceiving you.

- I mean, killing Christians!

Drinking the blood of Christians.

Did you really believe that that is how you bring back Christ?

That is how you bring forth the anti-Christ.

- Did God send you? - Yes.

Yes, he did.

Simple as that.

To do this.

No!

Mother!

Mom, wake up! Wake up!

Mother!

Wake up! Wake up!

Dispatch to Ivalo patrols.

332 responding.

A dog walker called in sounds of shooting

in Mutamaa, north end of Kauppalantie.

No closer address?

They're waiting at the site to show where it came from.

332 will take it.

Let's go take a look.

- So not to see Stenius? - No, I'll call him.

Try not to touch anything.

We'll get the crime scene techs in here tomorrow,

but this does not look very complicated.

I think that's.t'he weapon that killed Ella Bolmaro.

Mother...

Where is God? What do I need to do?

Lord! Where are you?

Do you have the chalice of Mary?

This is Tuomas, Raakel's son.

God, we have a problem.

Mother is dead, we are missing some blood.

God?

I'm not God.

- Hi. - Hello.

- How are you doing? - Just damn great.

- We found two of our missing people. - Yes?

Ella Bolmaro shot Raakel Hovatta with Aikio's gun

and I guess Tuomas beat Ella to death.

Well. Okay...

I know who will be our next victim.

This is one of the books we got from the FBI.

It's full of Ella's notes. Look at this.

Antti Taimen's brother Pekka Taimen

moved to the US in 1868, settling the family in Minnesota.

He anglicized his name, as was the custom then.

Pekka Taimen became Peter Trout.

Five years later they moved and built a new house.

The new place already had Trouts, they were from Scotland.

Pekka didn't want his family mistaken for Scots,

so he changed his name one more time.

This is their family tree up to the 1950's.

Look at this.

Ella has continued the family tree.

The trout became sprout.

Peter Trout changed his name to Peter Sprout.

So the director of NASA's CNEOS program,

Dr. Jonathan Sprout has no children

and is the only living relative of Antti Taimen.

Dr. Sprout is the new Christ of the Taimenians.
