Daddy. -A slide. Nice playground, isn't it?

Alright, I guess we better get started.

Welcome all parents and children. �Cracking to have you here.

Yeah... �My name is Jari Toivanen I'm a teacher in the Sparrow group.

I'd like to introduce to you our manager since I caught a glimpse of her. Susanna!

Susanna Lehto started as our manager in the summer.

You could tell everybody about our basic policies, since you're the boss.

Welcome to Peltola day care center on my behalf, too.

The theme in all our groups this autumn is nature.

Based on the theme alone, we have lots of outdoor activities...

Is everything okay? Heikki?

Let's go. -What's wrong? �Where is Onni?

Can you breathe? �Onni, we'll find a better day care center for you.

What are you talking about?

We'll talk later, okay?

For Onni's sake.

Onni isn't staying here.

You have lots of space here.

I love space.

I like to speak about certain things outside of work.

Some things are easier to speak about with no other people around.

Excuse me, can I use your bathroom?

Downstairs. To the left from the stairs.

I'm going to get fired. I'm positive.

Absolutely positive. -She can't do that, Tarja.

I broke her rules. She's going to fire me.

Where are you now? -In her basement. �I said I was going to the bathroom.

Well, if you use her basement as a toilet, I'm sure she won't like that.

Not funny. �Maybe she has a secret bottle there somewhere? �Not funny.

Just don't show Susanna your fear. That'll only provoke her.

Are you still there?

Tarja? �Tarja?

POLICE

Some kiosks are looking for help and...

the restaurant boats at the harbor.

When would you have the time? -You have your entrance exam soon.

A job would be a welcome change to reading.

And I could help with the food bills, or pay some rent.

You don't have to do that. We have two adults with jobs here.

Isn't the music course a good distraction?

Focus on your entrance exams,

so you can pay our care home fees in about five years.

She's trying to stay busy, take her mind off everything that's happened to her.

I know.

Can you to drop me off?

No, sorry, a fetus that appeared out of nowhere is waiting for me.

Fetuses don't come out of nowhere. �This one did. In a woman's basement.

A healthy, sixteen-week-old male embryo.

People perform abortions at home, too. -Not this one.

This one has been done in a hospital. The boy looks so tidy.

Sixteen weeks?

The pregnancy was noticed late. Or the mother changed her mind.

You're not married. Are you in a relationship?

Why do you ask?

We love doing background checks. Goes with the job.

You changed your name 26 years ago.

Your birth name is Kaija Susanna Hallava.

Current name Susanna Lehto. �I thought Kaija was an old woman's name.

I just wanted to rename myself back then. �And start all over again?

We're wasting working hours, chatting away like this.

Uusitalo and I are working right now, actually.

We'd also like to test your blood, if you don't mind. �For what?

To make sure you have nothing to do with the fetus.

I certainly would mind! �I'm the victim here, not a suspect.

Just a tiny sample? -I won't have it.

You refuse? -Of course I do. �You have to find out who broke into my home.

I refuse to become a suspect.

Did Susanna's evening guest, Tarja, have a bag with her?

J�nis said Taskinen was in complete shock.

They had to drive her home. She's not a likely suspect.

Susanna was just shocked that her home had been broken into.

What if it was a prank? The window was open.

A prank? �What with all the killer clowns

and adults only nights out there. �So somebody...

Somebody got hold of a hospital access card, found the fetus storage,

stole a fetus and happened to go into Susanna Lehto's...

We'll start at the hospital. Niko, come with me.

How often do you perform abortions here?

Late ones with D&Es or C-sections? Not so often nowadays.

Two, three a month. �Any new staff? Temps? Cleaners?

Quite many temps, but the faces don't change much.

Has anything unusual happened?

Rumors are circulating. We're shocked anything like that could happen

but it could have happened somewhere else, couldn't it?

Do you take the fetus away at once? -Usually, yeah.

If the pregnancy has been planned and the abortion is based on, say, disability,

the parents are allowed to say goodbye.

But the midwife returns after a while and takes the fetus into the fridge.

This is the porter I was talking about. �Jalmari Sarvilahti. -Sorjonen.

Porters take care of waste incineration? �We or the nurses.

Who has access to the cold room? -I can get you a list, if you want.

The cadavers are in these. There are 24 doors. �We call it the advent calendar.

The one over there is for biological waste. �Organs are kept in sealed bags,

frozen fetuses in ''shoe boxes''.

Who services the equipment? -Maintenance company.

But they're never here alone. The dead don't escape from this place.

THE CLOCK BEATS EVERYONE LE SACRIFICE

How about the jumps?

Good. �Should we turn this around, is this too easy? What do you think?

Jari, get the children out, would you?

Sure. Let's leave the track here, we can continue later.

We'll go out for a while, okay? Let's get dressed. Yeah.

I have some doubts about what you're doing here. �You're not telling anyone!

No one can know about it. �It remains between these walls.

Is that clear?

Hello. -Hello.

Susanna Lehto? �Inside. �In her office, probably. -Over there?

Round the corner. -Okay.

Well, did you find it out?

Find out who the burglar was? We're still working on it.

Don't you have my phone number?

I wouldn't want to explain to the parents what the police are doing here.

This is HP Lund, our forensic pathologist.

I need to take a blood sample.

We've been through this. You can't take a sample without my consent.

But our task is to find out where the fetus came from.

We can come back tomorrow, say eight o'clock.

With a court order.

If you ask me, this sounds like blackmail.

There is something you're not telling us. Now would be a very good time to talk.

I just don't like needles.

If you ask me, there is something completely different going on.

Let's wait for the results and see if we have anything to discuss.

Roll up your right sleeve, please.

How have you been? -I'm alright.

I took a double dose of relaxants on my lunch break.

The police came today.

They wanted to talk with Susanna.

To the day care center? -She was a total mess.

Couldn't concentrate. I caught that on video.

Ready for a final celebration together?

I'm not canceling this, if that's what you're thinking.

It's not.

You've lost your father many times now.

I don't think so. �You can't lose something you've never had.

You met your father. You had expectations, didn't you?

Why did you talk about Kari's help?

He did more than his share to help.

It wasn't his case, but he showed me more consideration than Mom.

Isn't that his job?

Mom said I should have trusted my instincts.

But my instincts told me he was innocent.

My dad.

It's easy to blame yourself, that's easily done.

But you did nothing to create this situation.

I opened the door for that guy.

I really thought Mom would send me some help. �And she let you down again?

It's not that.

It's that I let myself expect something again.

You could urge your Mom to answer your questions.

Make time for a discussion with her tonight. �Tell her that you want...

her to answer a few questions. �You really don't know her.

I don't know your mother but I think

she could give you a lot if you gave her a chance.

Karoliina said that I should make you answer my questions.

She told you to tell me?

Yeah. �To make you sit down

and give me answers

about everything that happened before my memories start.

The first two or three years.

That's my homework, so could you at least try?

At least not when I'm sober. �Why can't we focus on this day, this moment?

I feel I'm stuck with the things I don't know about.

I can't move forward before you tell me at least something.

I'll bring the booze. You don't have to be sober.

Yeah, yeah, I'm going! �Fucking locals.

Kari was right. Susanna Lehto and the fetus are related.

Even if the world had 14 billion people, the result would be 100 per cent.

We found nothing unusual in her background. �But HP did,

so let's invite Miss Grumpy over again.

Give her control issues a little shake.

Becoming pregnant at your age was probably quite a surprise.

But I have nothing to do with how it ended up in my home.

Can I ask you who the father is?

No. It doesn't concern the police.

You refused the blood test and now you refuse to answer.

It's a matter of principle. I take care of my own business.

What interests us the most...

is how the fetus ended up on your shelf in a glass jar.

And I'm interested in...

why it doesn't interest you. �I got pregnant and had an abortion.

I had no reason to suspect this had anything to do with that.

Give Niko Uusitalo a list of everybody who knew about your pregnancy.

Only the hospital staff knew.

Why didn't you tell us? -It's none of your business.

I called the police myself. If I'd done something, why would I? �Yeah.

Your subordinate found it. Lots of social pressure.

If I told you I put that fetus there, this would end right here.

But you won't...

since you want to know who actually did this to you.

Who do you suspect?

Somebody else.

I'm here to see Paul Degerman. �That's not possible right now, I'm afraid.

Come into the office, I'll tell you more.

I heard that a Russian investor opposes the refuge.

And that Paul had warned them.

I want to hear why he's talking behind our backs about this project.

Pauliina...

I don't think you'll be getting your answer today.

Are you there already? Wait for me, I'm coming with you.

Hello? Can you hear me? -Yeah. Robert.

Paul is dead.

Why didn't anyone call me? �I can't say. I just heard about it myself.

Robert... I'm sorry.

To France? �Yeah... After my first year.

If possible.

To Lyon, for example. �I'd take a French course at summer university.

I don't even plan the next day so precisely.

You've never thought about going somewhere else?

I have everything I need in Lappeenranta.

Really? -Did you just laugh at me? �No! �Piss off! -I didn't laugh.

Piss off. Lappeenranta is the new Berlin.

What the hell? I'm not talking to you.

Hi Mom.

Shall I ask Mikkis to get you? �No, he is at home with Juulia.

Has somebody told him? -I don't know. �Let it be, I'll pick those up.

You can't drive in that state. �I'll call you a taxi. -No, don't.

How did your Degerman take the bad news about his father? �Dad, don't.

He's not mine. �His name is Elias Str�m and his father just died.

Luckily, they never got to be that close with each other.

How old was it? -What was? �The fetus. -16 weeks.

Was it already...

Do you think it was a human being?

It looked like one. How come?

I was just thinking.

Do you think it would be wrong if someone wanted to

have an abortion to be able to live your own life first?

What?

No! �This has nothing to do with me. Or my friends.

I took a morning after pill a few weeks ago.

Now we went into my weak area.

Can't you discuss biology with your Mom? �I meant in a general sense. -Well...

On an ethical-philosophical level �I'd say there's nothing wrong

with wanting to get a profession before becoming a teen Mom in Lappeenranta.

Still not talking about myself.

Read some more psychology and you might find you were.

Now I need to go to my own work.

Alright.

The fire alarm had gone off.

A neighbor came in to have a look because the door was open

and found the body. �Did you photograph that?

Did you take samples from that chair? I need them. �Ronja Leppisalmi. Age 25.

The Blue Bicycle. Where did I see that?

The body had a plastic bag over its head. It's been photographed and bagged.

It was secured with duct tape.

A postmortem is obviously needed, but it seems she died of asphyxiation.

There are no bruises on her neck and no signs of violence.

On top of that... �You'll want to see this, Kari.

Several years old cutting scars.

We'll take the laptop with us? -Yeah.

Ronja has a blue bicycle.

She had a video camera on the rear rack when I last saw her.

And I'd really like to find that camera.

Her hands were on her stomach. Placed there.

Her legs were covered? -Yeah.

Lena, you said the door was open when the neighbor found her?

That's what he said.

Taping yourself, laying down on the bed, covering yourself

and keeping still while suffocating

is probably impossible. So this is not a suicide but a murder.

The perpetrator got up on this chair,

...lifted a piece of burning paper here

set off the alarm and left the door open. Invited us in to find the body.

And can you tell us why someone did all this?

Talk to all the neighbors. Everybody who's been here today.

Ask generally first, then about Susanna Lehto. �Lena, come with me.

Let's ask Susanna Lehto what Ronja did at the day care center.

Lena? The camera.

Niko Uusitalo, Lappeenranta police. I'd like to have a word.

Your project worker Ronja Leppisalmi has died.

That's sad news.

Is it?

Ronja was hired by the city. �I can't say I knew her particularly well.

You're not going to ask us how she died?

No, since you only came here because Ronja and me worked at the same place.

You just came here to harass me. �We have to ask you, as her boss

if you have any questions about this.

Did anyone threaten Ronja? Did she tell you anything?

This is a murder enquiry.

I can't help you. �She seemed like a nice, shy girl.

Didn't talk about her personal things.

If anything comes to mind... -I'll be in touch.

And you probably understand that we'll be in touch with you.

Is she a suspect? -She's definitely hiding something. �We'll get her.

Ronja was such a wonderful child. She was always happy.

But then the smile disappeared?

We lost her, to be honest.

She started drinking in the middle of the day, every now and again,

and didn't go to school.

Dated older men.

Did you seek help?

Me and Terho didn't believe in that sort of help.

Therapists and such just blame the parents.

We don't believe in psychology.

I'm looking for a motive. �Lies or quarrels...

or jealousy. �Something to explain why somebody

would have wanted to harm your daughter.

Five years ago, Ronja started her studies in Joensuu.

She got a job at a clothing store. �She said the owner had raped her.

It was her word against his.

Did it go to court? -We thought it wasn't worth it.

They'd just have dragged Ronja's name through the mud in court.

Ronja didn't know what she was doing.

The man had a wife and children.

They took everything from him.

It destroyed his business. Things ended really badly for the man.

What are you thinking? �An interesting woman. Obsessive.

I can't fit her into any category.

You think she's behind Ronja's death, too? �Probably.

Well, we'll continue fitting tomorrow.

...from researchers' tight control. Many countries have expressed their need

to concentrate and conform their mutual activities.

Wood industry pioneer Paul Degerman has died.

He is remembered as a prominent figure in the Russian trade...

I didn't know he had such a significant role in this country.

Everybody's talking and writing about him.

The last Finnish timber magnate.

...a significant part of his life in Lappeenranta.

Ronja's blood contained a large amount of relaxants.

They are used as sedatives but aren't lethal by themselves.

Did you get anything out of Ronja's ex-employer? The store owner.

Risto Karhula. Sticks to his story that

she had a crush on him and made up the story.

Now he has a new store and a new teenager to harass.

We went through the video material last night.

I'm not going to show you the actual day care center project video

because we found a subfolder named ''To be stored''.

Here is a clip from the folder. There were about twenty of these.

Speak a little louder, Alina. �Who hit you? �Hitting Alina isn't allowed.

How did you get that bruise?

Tell Ronja, okay?

You can tell me.

Don't be afraid. Tell me who did it.

I'm on your side.

Was it someone from the day care center?

Who was it? You can tell me.

She hit her in the cheek.

And she ran away, and fell.

You better have something to tell me already.

Or pretty soon I could accuse you of continuous harassment.

Maybe we do have something to tell you.

Pihla. �Pihla. What happened?

Who hit you? �I can't tell you. I promised.

Can you tell me your name? -Andreas. �Andreas.

Promise me you me you won't tell anyone.

This stays between me and you. Will you promise me?

Did Ronja make this?

The city wanted a video about the new day care program.

This material isn't part of that, is it?

What was that about?

That's not what our days are like. �That gives you a totally wrong impression.

It tells me children are being hurt, and the manager wants to keep them quiet.

That's not true. That's not true at all.

I showed the video to the prosecutor, Eve Eronen.

She gave us a warrant for your phone records.

Ronja called you...

a little after nine on Saturday.

Yes.

What did you talk about?

She asked me if she could film a swimming trip the next Monday,

or if she needed the parents' permission for that.

The fetus was found in your apartment.

The DNA test told us it was your child.

Ronja was killed. Ronja was working for you.

Ronja's camera followed you at work and proved you mistreated children.

That gives you a motive.

This looks...

pretty bad.

I didn't do it.

I just didn't.

You didn't take the fetus as a souvenir?

No.

You didn't kill Ronja Leppisalmi?

No.

I want you to stay in town.

And be available at all times.

If you have nothing else,

I'd like get back to work.

Why did you let her go? �We need evidence. The video isn't enough.

I want to talk with all the day care center workers. �But not at the center.

Somewhere out of Susanna's earshot. �So they can talk freely. -I'll fix that.

We'll continue from there. Lena.

Susanna Lehto's name was originally Kaija Susanna Hallava. From Kotka.

She's had a good reason for the name change. �I'm on it.

I started thinking...

What was your therapist's name? -Karoliina.

Yes. �It's...

It's really hard for me to talk about things. �Especially the old stuff.

That's why I got you that.

Can I open this?

I only have bad memories about guns. �And people with guns.

I have a gun. �So you do.

The gun is ready. One:

Keep your finger off the trigger and point the gun somewhere safe.

Then you just aim. And shoot.

Well done! �It was my second job.

A jewelry store robbery.

For some reason, my partner let me go in first.

When we went in...

I heard the owner shout something to me.

Before I was even able to aim, I realized I'd been hit in the stomach.

Next thing I knew, I was lying in a hospital.

Is that when you had the...

When you had the hysterectomy.

That's when I realized I'd...

I'd never be able to have a child.

It was your partner's fault. People are unreliable shits.

Not everybody. -They are.

My father, for example. -Your father isn't everybody.

Who can you trust if you can't trust your own family?

Maybe your family are the people you can trust.

I don't trust you.

I know.

I don't trust you, either.

She can be nice, too.

But then something always happens. �Something doesn't go the way she wants.

And what happens then?

Well... She becomes pretty scary.

Things always have to go her way.

Is she the same with children?

She doesn't actually have much to do with the children. �She avoids them.

Did Ronja interact with Susanna?

Ronja told me she tried to keep away from Susanna.

Did you know that...

Ronja was also shooting videos at the day care center

that make it look like Susanna was hurting the children?

I haven't heard anything about that.

You haven't heard...

Ronja called you a little after nine. -Yes.

If Susanna knew about the videos, and Ronja called her over.

The neighbors didn't see anything.

There was a concert outside. Hundreds of kids, phones, messages and pictures.

That material might contain something.

We manage Lesnoi Zitel's deals in Finland and in Europe.

When they announce their withdrawal from a project, we arrange it.

We want to know why, what we can do to fix things.

Kannas project interests the company, but a public building puts them off.

But the refuge is a good thing �For the whole project, investment-wise too.

How can I express myself clearly? This is not about financial viability.

They just don't want the refuge. If that comes, Lesnoi Zitel are out.

And we can't change that? -No.

How is the business with Paul coming along, if I may ask?

Paul's lawyer, Halmesarka, got in touch.

Paul's will is going to be read on Friday.

In that case, you can finance the refuge. �Never mind the Russians.

I don't know how to tell you... -Forget it. This was just a bad day.

There can't be too many of those in a row.

Fuck! �What happened? �Are you hurt? -No, it's okay.

Phew. No.

These fucking piece of shit shoes.

You should see a doctor. -No. �Stop that.

The papers were still in the child care center's storeroom.

They contain nothing special.

This was Kaija Hallava's first job, from 1989 to 1992.

Do these contain anything

about incidents with children? How an incident has been dealt with, for example?

No, just meetings with the parents, follow-ups and statements.

I have some memories that might interest you.

But I'd... I'd rather not speak about them here.

You don't want to tell us what you know?

I'm thinking about the victims and their families.

It was such a long time ago.

It's happening again in Lappeenranta.

She changed her name, moved into a new town,

but she returned to the same job although she promised you she wouldn't.

How many victims did she have here?

I suppose some of them never came forward.

I know of four families.

And you won't give me their names? -I promised.

We made a deal. I promised...

Kari.

She's hurt children before.

We can catch her. She clearly appears on this video.

That's it. �You'll get a warrant.

You coming out of Ronja's front door ten minutes before she was found dead.

Now would be a good time to confess.

I know I should have called the police.

Ronja called me that evening.

She said she had something important and asked me over.

I went there.

The door was open and...

I saw her lying on the bed. �She had a...

kind of a... plastic bag over her head.

I started to worry that

somebody might see me there, that I'd leave traces and...

Did you set off the fire alarm?

So that someone would come.

You already thought I had stolen the fetus from the hospital.

I didn't want to be a murder suspect to boot. �Or perhaps...

Ronja saw some disturbing things at the day care center and filmed them.

You realized you could get caught.

You sedated Ronja, choked her to death

and tried to start a fire to cover your tracks. �I didn't kill Ronja...

and I didn't do anything to the children at the day care center!

This is exactly why I didn't say anything.

You misinterpret everything I say.

Just tell me how long we need to keep her in custody.

Efficient work, congratulations.

Thanks. -Taina said you wrapped this up quickly.

Well? �Trompe l'oeil. Trick of the eye.

The case looks clear-cut, but it feels wrong.

Feels wrong to me, too. And your task is to prove it's wrong.

And ours is to give a sentence.

We scanned your brain carefully.

Me and my colleagues think the cause for your fall is right there.

Has anything similar happened lately? Have you been dropping things?

Feeling dizzy?

Pauliina. �You wanted me to tell you when it's time to make a decision.

Now we've reached a point where we either try or give up.

I can give you a prescription telling you to talk to your family.

It's up to you whether you actually do it or not.

How are you doing?

How do you think?

I haven't been out much.

I understand. �Do you?

You should continue as normal.

Like nothing had happened. -That's what I'm doing! �But you're not at work.

People are asking questions about you. -I'm on sick leave.

We shouldn't be meeting, should we?

Susanna Lehto is held in pre-trial detention.

I just thought you'd like to know that.

Ronja had... -No, we don't need to know.

The only thing that matters is that you got the result we wanted.

Well done. Take care.

Alright. Just take it easy.
