The purpose of marriage is starting a family -

for the good of all involved and for the preservation of society.

Marriage is permanent, -

so that family members can together to create a happy home.

In the presence of these witnesses, I ask you, -

Satu Maarit Nummelin, -

do you take Kirsti Ingrid Grotenfelt as your wedded spouse?

I do. - Kirsti Ingrid Grotenfelt, -

do take Satu Maarit Nummelin as your wedded spouse?

I do. I do.

Are you leaving? Well, it was great to have you here.

All the best. - Thank you. Bye.

So you got married! It's crazy.

Satu is perfect. - Yes, and so are you.

How can you be certain? - Maria, you just know.

My wife! - My wife.

Iida did a big poop, I'll go change her. - Here's the bag.

I would have promised everything.

MARIA KALLIO Motherless

We'll manage just fine, right, bunny?

Hey, let's go to sauna tonight, right, darling?

Just take the food, mom's titties are going to the police station.

You can't say that, it's like my tits are a separate part of me.

Lovely tits. - I could have stayed on maternity leave with you.

You left your team at Ström's mercy. - I'm gonna save my people.

Iida and I will be fine. We have a great flow, right, bunny?

The baby music club starts soon, we have the daddy club -

and Iida and I will supervise some PhD articles, right.

What daddy club? - The local dads get together on the playground.

Tuesday and Thursday mornings. - Okay.

It's a super nice playground.

There's a horse swing and an elephant slide and...

I didn't have to start work yet...

We're going to manage fine. You love your work.

True.

Bye, honey. Mommy is going to work.

Let's wave to mommy!

There she goes.

Hi! - Hi.

Good morning. - Hi.

Maria! - Hi!

Welcome. - I see you have decorated.

I got this strong sense of openness, togetherness.

This is quite aquarium-like.

You don't like it? - I'm just thinking that investigations need privacy.

There's no problem there. Look at this.

Murder 1, Murder. What are these groups?

Openness, communication.

Communication becomes our strongest suit.

The message reaches the right people in fraction of seconds.

We solve crimes most efficiently. - Is there a competition?

Look who's here? - Hi, good morning...

Nice to see you. - Likewise.

We compete with units in other cities for the highest crime solving rate.

The highest and fastest.

Pätkis, this is important for you. Speed counts as well.

What is this? - It's for you.

The old chair had no back support, this one strengthens your core.

You'd think those WhatsApp groups are a bigger security risk than calls.

They really are well encrypted today -

and we have a new data protection company, we are in very good hands.

Pätkis, as of today, you're our communications leader.

Got it? - Roger that.

He's taken to improving things, everything and quickly.

Not enough work? - He turns sixty next month.

This is nice, though. - Suits you.

Good morning.

Morning.

What's that?

Well, I know you've missed us.

We've missed you, too.

Wow! Espresso! - Wow.

Someone is trying to impress. - Just making sure you like it here.

Attention, a corpse in Nuuksio.

This is for you, Maria, Murder One.

Pätkis, let's cancel tennis this afternoon.

Tennis? Murder One.

No answer. Do you know where he is?

I haven't heard of Ström since yesterday.

You didn't call once from your leave. - How did it go?

Just fine.

Hey! Great to see you. - Likewise.

She's so frozen I can't turn her.

The night was below freezing, she's stuck there.

No external signs of violence.

The closest building is 5 km away. - So it was.

There is a bus stop next to the parking lot.

Take the deceased to Kirsti's table to melt. - Clear.

I'll steam her away gently.

Late night with Ström yesterday? - Nope.

I made him lose and he left.

I found 300 euros in the victim's pocket, neatly in an envelope.

So not robbery or robbery murder.

Thank you. The patrol will take you home.

We'll contact you if need be.

Have you started playing tennis with Ström? - No.

We've resorted to gambling. - Okay. Surprising.

What's there to stop us? - Nothing.

Glad you enjoy each other's company.

We did miss you a bit.

Ask Pätkis to check yesterday's buses and talk to the drivers.

Okay.

I see. And then, look here.

If you smell alcohol it's not the body, it's me.

Has been shot at close range, only the entrance is found.

Did you find a bullet or casing on site?

No, Pulkka is still investigating.

Why can't I see blood? - Maybe it's been washed off.

Why would it be washed away? - Intuition.

The boys have had these reckless intuitions, -

it is good to have them back in check.

Pulkka left this. On the index finger, Master's ring.

University of Helsinki, May 15, 2005.

Speaking of the ring, congratulations to the newly-wed.

Thanks. What wouldn't one do for the good of society?

Getting married is social activism at its best.

If we don't know the identity tomorrow, let's initiate the ID process.

Take DNAs and... Well, get in touch with Pulkka.

Hi! - Hello!

I talked to the bus driver on duty in Nuuksio.

What did you get? - One passenger.

Got on the bus at the Punjonsuo stop at 10:15 pm.

Nobody has been reported missing -

and there's no register for the rings.

But... Here is the list for names in May 15th commencement.

There are 356 of them, 211 women.

Faculty of Humanities. - Yes. Female majority.

Checks who lives near the Punjonsuo stop. - Sure.

Cappuccino? - Thank you.

Are there only three of us? - Yes.

Taskinen said Ström is using up his overtime.

And didn't inform me, his superior.

We got lucky!

Well? - One match, Elina Rosberg.

That's her.

And the address is Oma Tila, like a name, not "your space".

Close to Punjonsuo bus stop.

Oma Tila is some kind of a retreat center for women.

The owner is Aira Rosberg.

I checked all the rooms.

I couldn't find Elina, the others are all here.

Her phone is in her room.

How well do you know Elina? - She is my niece.

Do you have a picture of Elina?

Shall we sit down?

No, I'll stand, thank you.

We have some sad news.

Elina was found dead this morning.

My condolences.

Where?

What happened? - We are investigating it.

We were with Elina yesterday. She went into her room after sauna.

How can she be dead?

We suspect she's victim of a homicide.

Was she shot?

Do you hear a shot? - No.

No, we didn't. This is horrible.

Hi there. How's it going there?

Okay. Listen, I'll be a while.

Let's have a sauna tomorrow.

What is she doing? Give Iida a kiss for me.

Or many kisses. Bye.

How do they manage without you? - Just fine.

According to Niina, Elina had left the sauna before 10 pm in a hurry.

Were there others there? - No.

Niina stayed at the sauna alone. - Where were the other women?

Aira and Johanna had done a puzzle all evening.

It was originally Elina's idea to have a shelter for abused women.

Here, they're safe.

Elina always had ideas and a golden heart.

Did Elina have any relatives? Family or siblings?

Elina was like a daughter to me.

She had no children of her own.

When she was young, she was in violent relationships.

My brother Ari was an alcoholic.

It was a heavy burden to both of us.

Tough experiences. They leave long-lasting scars.

Where were you last night?

In our own rooms after evening tea and a puzzle.

Did Elina have worries or...

She went out alone at night.

Could we see your security camera footage?

They have invested in decent systems.

We have to send this to Pätkis. - Yes.

Elina wanted to have security cameras here.

She knew some of the women were beaten at home.

The abusers often follow the women.

Elina said we should always stay one step ahead.

When did you last see Elina?

Go ahead.

Yesterday, during the day.

Elina helped Johanna flee from an abusive relationship.

What is Johanna afraid of? - She left 8 children in Ostrobothnia.

Her mind couldn't take it. She's recovering here.

Okay.

Where are yesterday's tapes?

May I...

God will revenge.

I shouldn't have left my children.

Why did you leave your home?

I couldn't stay.

I met Elina on a website.

She bought me a bus ticket and handled the divorce paperwork.

She hired a lawyer, so I can get my children here.

When did you last contact your children?

It's been a while.

Was Elina in touch with them?

No. Why would she?

They are my children. Elina helped me.

Are you in the middle of a custody battle?

It was going to start next week, but...

I can't now.

Elina is involved in all legal cases of the retreat house women.

I checked the tapes. No one left after the victim.

What about the sauna? It's further away.

Yeah, but there are no cameras.

The house cameras show Elina coming from the sauna at 9:50 pm.

She leaves the house at 10:05. Niina comes from the sauna at 00.05.

After that there's nothing.

Let's call Kirsti to start the ID process. - I already called.

She was busy tonight. Young love.

Listen, I checked the victim's bank accounts.

She took out 300 euros the day before yesterday.

So she knew she was meeting someone.

What did you find out about Johanna Säntti?

Säntti. Youngest child is two, the oldest 18.

Others in between. Filed for divorce, still in progress.

When do we get the vic's phone records? - Probably tomorrow.

Internet forums have open threats against Elina -

because her straightforward actions to save women -

has seemed threatening to those involved.

Any familiar names among the threat-makers?

No links to organized crime, just domestic cases.

Hi! You have come back.

And you've moved to Poison. How do you like it?

Susanna is in the A league with Ström in solving her cases.

Hi there. - Hi.

You and Ström are a real power duo. Do you have any free time?

Nope, all free time is booked for your and Pertsa's canasta nights.

Canasta nights? - Yup.

Susu, have some pizza. - All right.

She fell asleep as soon as she got milk.

Did you leave any for me? - Stop it!

I have told you not to lust for my milk.

You are not my boss. We are equals.

There is a definite difference. - Definite difference.

Definite difference. - Where did you learn that?

From a chat forum for stay-at-home dads?

Shoot! Wait.

Hello? - I got Elina's phone records.

The day before her death, she got three calls from the same burner cell -

and sent a text:

"All eight of you have room here. It's going to take a bit longer."

So Elina has been in touch with Johanna's children.

Listen, book us flights to Oulu.

We'll go visit. And alert Koivu.

Okay. Bye. - Bye.

To Oulu? - Yeah, tomorrow. For the day.

Okay. Can you pump some milk -

so that Iida won't get withdrawal symptoms. - Of course.

And maybe a drop... - I knew this!

A small drop. - I knew this. I knew.

So the answer is no? - Stop it! No!

Where were you the night before?

At home, like every other evening.

What's this in relation to? - How have you managed with the kids?

Has something happened to Johanna?

Did you know Elina Rosberg? - No... Should I?

She's Johanna's acquaintance. - Ask her, then.

Has something happened to Johanna?

No, but we would like to talk to your children.

We have four heifers calving here. We have our hands full.

We'll wait.

Surely a delivery can't take this long.

Unfair if a calf is born at the drop of your hat, but not babies.

Okay, I admit it, you're better informed on this subject.

Did it hurt? - Like hell.

Oh no.

And when you get your baby in your arms, -

It's the happiest moment of your life.

I believe that.

That's the biggest thing I dream about as well.

Wonder how it would feel.

To hold your own baby in your arms.

Here they are. The motherless.

Ask your questions.

Have you been outside home this week? - They go to school like all children.

We are ordinary people.

I need to burn the dead calf, so ask your questions.

They are all minors, I need to be present.

Johannes is 18. - He just turned 18.

Children, is Elina Rosberg a familiar name to you?

Raakel, put the coffee on.

Daddy. Daddy! - Wait.

Just wait a minute.

I'll give you my card with my phone number.

Call or send a message, if you remember anything.

It's important you tell everything you know about Elina.

Why? Why is it important?

Your mother's friend Elina Rosberg is dead.

It's not related to us. God revenges the theft of their mother.

It wasn't me, but I don't grieve her death.

Bring my wife home.

These children need their mother.

Hey... Take these to my mom.

I made them. It's going to be a cold winter.

You'll soon be with your mom.

That's what mom's friend said. - Who?

Someone called us. - What did that someone want?

I don't know. - Did they say their name?

No. They said mom will come get us soon.

When was that call? - The day before yesterday.

Where will they take us? I don't want to leave home.

Do you have your own phone? - No, we only have landline.

AY19 to Helsinki has been cancelled due to aircraft malfunction.

The next flight is tomorrow at 5:30 am.

Well, what do we do? - Drive to Helsinki?

Let's get a hotel. I want a proper night's sleep.

Who are you texting? Anni?

I don't tell you everything.

No need. We have our own lives.

What did you say? - Nothing.

Come dance.

What, a substitute? - Yes, let's dance. Come!

I'm a lousy dancer. - I don't think so.

Just move your body.

Here we go.

Hey, let's take a pic for Taskinen.

Mama relaxing at work. - Hey, don't call me mama.

Why not? - I don't call you papa.

Well, should you?

That's a good pic.

Damn it! Wait, I'll be a sec.

Thanks.

Problems? - No.

With a woman boss? Now that Maria is back.

You haven't been to work. - Sit in for Koivu.

I don't know how to play canasta. - I'll teach you.

On the condition that you go to work.

Well, show me then.

Well? - Hi.

Don't send the pic to Taskinen. - Oh, why not?

We danced too close.

Yeah, sorry. I'll take full responsibility.

All right... Thanks.

To you returning to work.

All right... - Ouch.

Overtime at the gig ended happily, huh?

I'm not feeling too good now.

Have you taken the time to exercise?

How come? - After the birth of our children, -

Cam rushed back to work and she didn't have time to exercise.

I'm not playing tennis with you. - I won't give up yet.

Come on. - How was Oulu?

Elina Rosberg has been in contact with the children.

The Oulu police investigates at their end.

Pätkis went to the bus depot, probably about this gig.

Good morning.

Don't tell me you've been to the gym. - I won't, you already know that.

Check this out. - Has the perpetrator been found?

Why won't the police give a press release?

This is an ongoing investigation.

Oh well. - Let me see.

But can you confirm that it is a sexual crime?

The police will soon inform more.

How did the journalist know to contact Pulkka?

I guess I have to organize a press conference.

Here we go. Fuck! Taskinen.

Hi. - Hello.

20 minutes before Elina Rosberg got on the bus at the retreat stop, -

a Valtteri Immonen got off on the same stop.

Help me up.

What do you have on Immonen?

Valtteri Immonen, journalist.

Writes about domestic abuse against women.

Phone number and address not public.

Could Immonen have come to see Elina?

But not inside the retreat, he's not on the cameras.

True. - True what?

There are no cameras at the sauna.

What do we know about Niina?

Other than she stayed at the sauna after Elina left.

Studies journalism, has done gigs as a journalist for years.

Elina's childhood friend, not married.

Moved to the retreat because wanted to try communal living.

Thinks a relationship is a power structure waiting to change.

So not in a relationship? - Is in a relationship. With many.

We have an absolute ban for male guests.

So there were no guests the night before Elina disappeared?

My friend wanted to see where I live. We went to the sauna.

There's nothing wrong with that. - We have rules.

I don't want to see people only through their gender.

It is too limiting.

Was this friend Valtteri Immonen? - Yes.

What did you do after sauna?

Nothing. I came in and went to bed.

You mean...

You don't...

How could even you think that...

I have known Elina since we were four.

She's the most important... My closest friend.

Do you have Valtteri's contact info? - Yes.

I could take them down.

What time did you leave? - I left Nuuksio by taxi.

You can check with the taxi company.

What time was it? - Around midnight.

Have you often visited the retreat even though men are not allowed?

A couple of times.

I support the eradication of violence against women.

Yes. We saw the interview you did.

I wanted to do a piece about Elina's murder.

Indifferent officers piss me off.

Indifferent of what?

Arresting wife beaters and rapists.

You think Elina died as a result of sexual violence?

Haven't you read what they write about Elina?

She got death threats for defending women's right to abortion.

There's a social media account where people fantasize killing her.

She got a restraining order and did everything for a better life for women.

She was killed for that.

I see. That account has been deleted.

Valtteri Immonen's taxi receipt matches his departure time.

The driver testifies taking Immonen straight home to Helsinki.

He had no time to kill the victim.

Can you find out the owner of the account? - I'll try.

Why was Elina killed just now?

Did she do something to make her enemies act?

It's the celeb!

It's been viewed over 500 times. You're our new mascot!

Plush Toy Pulkka, everyone's best sleeping buddy.

Delivered to your door. - Stands out.

That's a great idea. - Did you find the shell?

Nope. But Kirsti and I are still investigating the cause of death.

The victim was not shot with any traditional weapon.

That's why we didn't find a shell.

Kirsti found gunpowder on the vic's frontal lobe.

The gun powder paralyzed the vic's vital functions -

and she only froze after that.

I'd say she was shot with a bolt pistol.

Does this look familiar to you?

Cows are killed with a bolt gun.

Do you have one at home? - I don't have a home.

I can't live there.

I'm hurting.

Johanna can't stand any more grief.

Hello? - The Oulu police sent an e-mail.

On the night before Elina's death, -

Lasse Säntti's car was seen on the road leading south.

I want to die.

I can't take it any more. - Everything will be okay.

Did you get the telecom records? - Lasse Säntti has been at home.

Okay. Check out Johanna Säntti's telecom info.

And quickly. Use Taskinen's name.

No! I don't want anything anymore!

I want nothing.

No! Johanna!

They're taking her to the hospital. - Let's talk more in the morning.

I feel Johanna knows more than she's ready to tell us.

Thank you.

I added you to the group.

"Police information." What is this?

A subgroup to Taskinen's communication initiative.

Pulkka, Pätkis, me and you.

We see now that Pulkka has left work -

and he relaxes at home, making a snack.

I don't know if social media is right for us.

It rounds the edges nicely.

Koivu getting emotional.

I look lonely. - You look hopeful.

Pätkis. Talk to me.

Johanna Säntti got a call from the same burner cell -

as Elina Rosberg before her death.

Let's go.

Who called you the night before Elina's death?

Raakel.

Your daughter?

Who drove your husband's car to Nuuksio?

Mother? - Johannes?

Are you at the station now? I can pick you up.

Your friend's death was God's revenge.

She tried to alienate you from God.

Offered me money so we can all come there.

We know what is right and what is wrong.

There are always two options.

Mom will be there soon.

Johannes Säntti wanted for for brutal homicide in Espoo.

Mother! Mother!

Mother! You have to come home.

Mother!

I gotta go home.

Maria...

Glad to have you back.
