Original subtitles

- What's going on here? - Back inside, ma'am.

Are we in danger?

The suspect may know we're coming.

Move, move!

- Clear! - Clear!

Clear!

Sir, you need to see this.

Jesus, Murphy!

Sorry, I thought it was a... cat.

Thank you, Maisy.

I need to go.

Please, don't do that.

It's a new day. Are you ready?

You can become a doctor,

shopkeeper, actor or a trapeze artist. Remember that.

The police help people, and it's great.

but they often encounter people when they're not at their best.

As mom tells you every morning:

this doesn't mean I want you to become a police officer, Pumpkin.

This is just a practical arrangement.

- Morning, Stiina! - Morning.

You need your own sign at the door.

Next to Chief Kautsalo, It would say Baby Kautsalo-Kajanne.

You've earned that. Are you eating...

The space science conference, SpaceGuard, you know,

- it's here next week. - Yes.

Isn't it about the Eiscat Comet? How is it our business?

- Stenius will be here tomorrow? - Why?

Will Stenius be here?

- Kautsalo! - The big shot from Helsinki.

- Mr. Grumpy. - I see.

Okay, thanks. An accident on ice near Kermatta.

- Hello. - Hi.

Tuomas Hovatta from Taimenpää.

Towing a sled of firewood all of it in the lake.

And so is his snowmobile.

- Where was he taking the wood? - To a client, that's all he said.

This lady was skiing across the lake. She saw the accident and called 911.

I want to talk to the police chief.

- Many more tests to run? - The office wants to talk to you.

- Now? - Now.

Please, don't. Please.

Don't what?

Please don't fire me. Please, I need this job.

Okay, if you must fire somebody,

if you have to, fucking fire Timonen.

He's scared of speed and rain.

Has Timonen been stealing tested tires from here?

I don't know. Has he?

Somebody has. Tested tires, loads of them.

Look, I don't... I don't wanna be rat.

I'm not a rat, okay.

But it does sound like something Timonen could do,

he's that kind of guy, like I said.

I was told you can speak Swedish.

Yeah. Why?

Your sister has found God, hasn't she?

Marita? Yes, she has.

Does the chief belong to the church here?

We have nothing to ask from you and we have your contact info.

As there's no crime in the accident, we can...

When I was done with shopping and turned home today,

the Lord's angel talked to me.

Yes.

All right.

What did the angel tell you?

"Take the new bridge home."

"Don't go across the lake."

I always go across the lake.

The new bridge takes longer and I was bone tired.

And...

Then I cut across the lake.

- So you didn't obey this angel? - No.

I don't understand. Had you obeyed...

you wouldn't have been there to call for help.

But God's guidance is hidden from us.

In His mercy, God hides the future from our eyes.

God didn't want that boy to be saved.

Here.

Is it in there? You can feel it when it enters the heart.

How do you feel it? You're the one with nurse's training.

This is your training.

Good.

Good! That was good.

It's a promotion, in a way.

It's also test driving, but better pay.

But in Kiruna? What about my friends in the church?

There are more churches than people up there.

But they speak Swedish, I don't.

- Pray Jesus to teach you. - Ha, ha!

- What did Marita say? - She doesn't want to move.

She's afraid Jesus won't follow her to Sweden.

I feel like I don't know her at all.

It's fucking great she got clean of drugs.

But sometimes I'd rather she get high on drugs than Jesus.

That's some lame shit.

- I think you're a bit... - Jealous.

I guess I am a bit.

No man is a match for Jesus. Fucking dough hair.

Our home is full of believers now, Marita runs the Tuesday bible study.

Jape, I have to get her out of here.

It will do her good.

- Another round? - Yes, of course.

Did the hockey player leave you?

Toni got a job from his old NHL club.

He's the scout for the Nordics, he's gone a lot.

Santeri, look, this is Uncle Stenius.

Don't you have daycare up here?

Santeri just turned one, he's too small for that.

Does he talk or understand speech?

Santeri has limited possibilities to spread police secrets.

Fine. Santeri can come with us. In there.

FBI contacted us at the National Bureau of Investigations.

They raided an apartment in DC as a part of an operation.

The target was gone and had wiped the whiteboard clean.

But they hadn't done a good job.

An infrared camera revealed old markings.

They ran them through several handwriting software.

Here's the best result.

What do we know about this person?

- Apparently, she's a woman. - And that's it?

The lease was under a false name. The FBI is looking into it.

The head of NASA's NEO program, Dr. Sprout

will be here for the conference.

That's FBI's real concern.

- NEO program? - Near Earth Object.

Any celestial body passing near the Earth is a NEO.

There's a lot of... Skulls and stuff.

Do you believe this?

I don't believe in so many things. There are some signs of real risk.

The SpaceGuard is not a well-known event.

And secondly, these mad scrawls were not meant to be seen.

The NBI decided to guard the conference with the local police.

The opening is in four days.

- I don't know about the space stuff. - Same here.

Great, honey!

Great, that's great!

Who took his first steps?

Who did? Pumpkin did!

I took the liberty of setting up a meeting,

with the SpaceGuard organizers tomorrow.

Okay, what about the books?

- What about them? - I'm sure the FBI made a full inventory at the raid.

- I'm sure, yes. - Get a list the books.

That's a good idea.

Who took his first steps? That's Pumpkin.

Venla!

Hi Bunny. Didn't you hear me shouting?

But you didn't answer?

Do you still have those library books about the comet?

The asteroids are smaller, like stones,

orbiting inside the solar system.

Comets are further away, they have ice and dust storms,

and that's why the sun makes them glow and shine.

This present comet is called D/24 UN302.

Also called the Eiscat Comet?

It was first discovered in Finland.

The observatory where they saw it is called Eiscat, I think.

I'll need that telescope soon.

Are you still afraid of the comet?

Darling, we can't get an expensive telescope.

I can't see the comet without it.

It disappears when it crashes into the sun.

We won't get a telescope.

- Santeri is getting everything. - I understand, but still.

Santeri is a baby, he needs things.

Come on...

Lord, heal my poisoned body.

Give me a child of my own.

Talk to me.

Give me a sign.

Give me a sign.

Give me a sign.

KERMATTA NURSING HOME

Why do you need mom's sewing box?

Well... There's the sewing tape measure.

And you're going to sew?

- I'll measure my dick. - I see.

I need to check whether my dick has grown or I have shrunk.

Are the radiators always so cold?

This room does not interest me.

Will you say hello to your mother?

Dad, if I tell you mother is dead?

- How come? - She went in her sleep a year ago.

We decided you'd better off living here.

Why am I still here?

I'm glad you're here.

That's real good. Dad!

It could be that Marita and I will move away.

I need that tape measure.

Luckily these things turn themselves off

if the oil supply stalls.

Otherwise, this could have gone real nasty.

This could have some rust on it, but it doesn't look like it.

It's like someone has broken it on purpose beyond repair.

Yes, that's...

Well, I can get a new burner for tomorrow,

- but not any sooner. - Well...

If you can't make it before that...

This turned into a rush job.

The old ones will be in for a cold night.

The new windows are tight, but the weather is cold.

I think it will be below freezing in here.

Our people cannot survive a night like that.

- Where will we evacuate tnem? - The council doesn't have beds

for 29 fraid old people on such short notice.

- Will they go to their relatives? - No, we'll bring them here.

In the old dining room.

We'll light a fire, move the tables into the hallway

and bring in our residents in their beds, yes?

We have extra blankets in storage as well as electric heaters.

Together, we can stay warm.

I ordered some firewood.

Why won't you come with me?

- To church? - Yes.

- Mama! - No.

- I would love to take Santeri. - No, I don't want that.

- You had him baptized. - Toni's parents wanted that.

And the trolls would take him without baptism.

You can think you owe nothing to God with everything you've been through.

Your dad left you. Venla was born different.

But you have two wonderful children and a good husband now.

- Yes. - That's lovely.

I don't like when people claim to know what God wants.

Bad things start to happen then.

And mom didn't care for the church.

She taught us that bedtime prayer.

- Did she? - She did.

Oh!

I don't remember it any more, we were so small then.

- Take a look at that. - What's this?

The FBI's list of the books found at the terrorist suspect's home.

138 books. Some novels, a lot of astronomy,

physics and mathematics. And then three books about...

Finnish immigrants in America. At the turn of the century. I'll be.

Our terrorist has an interest in Finland.

Tens of thousands of Finns emigrated to the US then.

We need to get the books about the Finns.

It could be difficult, old books printed in the US.

You quit that now!

God doesn't like jokers.

He sends them to hell.

Sorry.

- Why is the child staring at me? - Oh, this is Santeri.

He's not just a child.

We use him as a mobile lie detector.

So the reason for this conference is

for you guys to focus on this

- bypassing comet and to... - Compare data.

A year ago it was told that

the comet will pass the Earth safely.

Oh yeah, we're just discussing the smaller details here,

like the comet's spin, its composition, exact shape.

You know, the closest it's gonna come to the Earth

is in the next few days.

Right now it's 1.5 million kilometres away.

That's four times farther than the Moon.

I understood that this comet

has been here before, 5,000 years ago.

Yes, well all comets have been here before.

You know, they orbit by nature.

When we first detect them,

only then can we calculate

when they visited our solar system before.

I was going through the list of your attendees and...

I noticed you have people coming in from

all around the world.

Yeah, I mean we're one big happy family.

- Yeah. - All watching the skies together.

Well, in families, there are conflicts also.

Like conflicting views

or different interests between experts on the exact same field.

And there's drama.

I bet, you know, but not with us, no.

No?

No bad blood, no unwanted members?

- No. - What about NASA?

I could imagine them bullying everyone.

Well, NASA has the loudest voice and the best equipment, right?

So they can bully all they want.

You know, Dr. Sprout, he's from NASA

and he's been one of our key members for many years.

So you know him well?

I don't understand where these questions are coming from?

Can you think of any reason why

somebody would wanna hurt the attendees of the conference?

There's no real conflict of interest

when it concerns NEOs.

We're basically just a planetary alarm system.

And much like you guys,

we just want everything to go well.

So all we ask of you is

let us know if you notice

anything out of the ordinary, okay?

Oh, you mean like harassment from the Finnish police?

Is that what you mean?

Harassment by police?

Maybe he meant the chief breastfeeding.

- Why didn't you tell me? - Maybe it was a good move.

He was nervous about something, he didn't tell us everything.

- Is this an adventure? - Yes.

But a safe one.

Remember to bring my wife, her name is Hilkka.

- Everyone will be brought here. - I see.

Leave Ossi Kangasniemi closer to the door.

- Sure. - If everyone stays in their own beds and we'll be fine.

- Where's the night shift? - Maikki called.

Couldn't start her car.

Erkki is coming, had to stop by the pharmacy.

- They're on their way, go home. - Someone can stay.

They'll be here soon. We'll be fine.

See you tomorrow!

Santeri... Hey, Pumpkin.

Santeri told me he can't come to your work anymore.

Oh, Santeri told you? What did he suggest we do?

That I can take care of him.

That's a lovely thought from the both of you,

but it's way too much responsibility.

Toni!

- Hi! - Hello!

- Any food left? - We have something.

Santeri has done a good job spreading it around, though.

- Hi there! - Hi!

Good to have you home.

- Venla, how's it going? - Hi!

- What's behind your back? - Many air miles.

- You're pulling my leg. - I'm not.

- Give me that! - What?

Oh, you mean this?

- Here you go! - Is this a real one?

Yes. Soon, the comet is closer to the Earth than ever.

Santa gave me permission to bring that a bit early.

- Thank you. - What's up, Pumpkin?

- Marita! - You go.

I'm in the middle of a game. And it's your bible studiers.

They're here every night.

- Damn it! - You're unbelievable.

Thanks!

We're looking for Esko Kangasniemi.

Esko, it's for you.

Go now!

- What's up? - We've been informed

we can find the company's stolen property in your garage.

What? Who said that?

Just open up your garage for us.

Look, I swear I don't know what this is.

This is not mine.

Just keep the garage door open,

we're taking these out immediately.

I promise, hey, I had no idea.

Somebody else put these here, I didn't know.

Just give me your security badge.

Please, please. Hey!

Some seem to be asleep. That's good.

For those of you awake, is it okay if I...

If I read from the Bible?

I could read you my absolute favorite.

Often, we're only interested in the death of Jesus.

But surely, the Christians' task can't be to read such a sad story.

Fuck this shit. I wish they'd call the police.

We'll see what happens then.

- You think Nina would believe you? - Won't anyone believe me?

- No! - Not even Nina?

- Who is so fucking stupid? - There's no beer.

What would Jesus say about cursing?

- Why would I fuck up a good job? - I don't know.

By stealing some tires. Is that what I'm like?

Do you believe me?

Do you?

I'm praying for you.

At least three steps.

- And I wasn't here to see them. - Yes.

- Three! - Of course, he won't walk now.

Are leaving again the day after tomorrow?

Yes.

The U21 WC is the most important tournament.

After that, it's less busy.

- Mom, Toni. Come out now! - Now?

How come it looks like that now?

- It's beautiful. - Is it dangerous?

No. Mom went to see the astronomers.

They said it's four times as far as the Moon.

Look, here.

It looks much closer.

I can see your sign, Lord.

Where are you going?

Everything OK, going back up. Come on in.

KERMATTA NURSING HOME

Hey!

She's cold!

This is from the EMTs?

- Yes. - All right.

- Shocking, but... Good, thanks. - Hello.

Is this all the residents?

We have 24 deceased, including the director, Saana Hyry.

- Carbon monoxide poisoning? - The EMTs first estimate.

- Has everything been photographed? - In front of the fireplace, yes.

The Christmas Gospel.

- Is that important? - Christmas is five weeks away.

The staff says they have 29 residents.

So six residents are missing. Find them now!

Open up, please.

Thank you!

We got the sandwiches they left us.

I guess Hilkka is still in the fireplace room.

Did they get any food?

EGÉSZSÉGÜGYI KÖZPONT

First they took us to the dining room and then out again.

Who took away from there?

The chief there.

A woman.

You mean Saana Hyry, the director of the nursing home.

I used to be the chief in my day.

- Police chief. - I know.

The police station has your photo on the wall.

You're in the old uniform, looks very impressive.

As a little boy, I thought

- that's what a real police officer looks like. - I see.

When this woman, possibly Saana Hyry,

moved you from the dining room, did she say anything?

Shame on you. We know what you did.

You should die for your sins, like your wife did.

But not today.

Do you remember if...

She said anything?

- Saana Hyry? - Yes.

The director.

You must ask her that.

Or is this a hearing?

You're not suspected of anything.

My wife Hilkka may be dead.

I want to see my son Esko, make sure he's okay.

Esko has nothing to worry about, he's just fine.

And so are you.

- The doctor said you can go home tomorrow. - Home?

I see.

The good news is:

your hearing is excellent on all frequencies.

Which does not surprise me.

The symptoms of hearing problems don't manifest as speech.

Speech in a foreign language.

Speech in any language.

Out of curiosity, what is the language you hear?

I don't know. It resembles Arabic, but it's not it.

We could consider running neurological tests.

The major accident unit handles the investigation.

The town press conferene will be a catastrophe.

Half of our residents had family or friends in that nursing home.

I know. The police will assist in informing the families,

and canvassing, if there are no signs of a crime.

The nursing home was inspected last summer. Last summer!

There were no signs of neglect or problems!

I guess director Hyry wanted to solve the problem herself.

She didn't contact her superiors or the home's board.

They should not have used the old fireplace

while the electric AC was on.

The only cause of the accident is dead. Just great!

And they want someone's head on a plate, right?

What?

Three new interview requests on the phone.

- Two reporters in the lobby. - Tell Aikio I will be right out.

Roger that.

All the residents would have fit in here,

but Saana Hyry carted some of them out. Why?

The rescue service report says the fireplace damper was shut.

They meant to stay warm.

Maybe the director didn't want the heat to escape.

No. Everyone here learns how to use the damper as a kid.

Why did Saama Hyry tell the night shift

all the residents had been avacuated?

She wanted to be alone with them.

The rescue services expert did not exclude the possibility

of sabotage to the oil burner.

And then there's this.

The pathologist's preliminary report

says Hyry's right index finger was badly burned and covered in ash.

Are those letters?

IHS. Could be from Latin.

In hoc signo, in this sign.

In hoc signo vinces, in this sing thou shalt conquer.

From Constantine the Great's apparition.

Constantine made Christianity the state religion of Roman Empire.

What's this pattern over the letters?

- What does it look like? - A star, maybe.

And what's shining up in the sky now?

Our comet.

God...

Predicted...

Praised be the Lord!

- What are you, a snooper? - What did God say?

You have no business in mother's room.

Pathologist jokes?

Like a Finnish, Swedish and Norwegian pathologist walk into a bar.

Or how many pathologists does it take to change a bulb?

- Why would you ask that? - My husband collects them.

I guess we all deal with our traumas in a different way.

I don't know any pathologist jokes.

- This is not a fun business. - Maybe that's the joke right there.

Right. Old People...

Years in a nursing home, their skin full holes and marks.

There's blood tests, IV drips and injections.

Then there are liver spots and eczemas.

Luckily, this one was a bit younger.

Otherwise, I might have missed this.

- That spot there? - It's a needle mark.

Directly above the heart. All the deceased had one.

- Were they given something? - No, no.

We've only done some of the autopsies,

but it looks like everyone had some blood drawn from them.

Can't tell the amount exactly, not many liters, but still.

- From the heart? - Immediately after death.

- But their cause of death is... - Carbon monoxide poisoning.

All the blood work has been dorre.

The high carbon monoxide content leaves no doubt.

But after everyone was dead,

- someone draw some blood from them. - Meaning?

If you don't believe in insects the size of a cat

who suck blood from a human heart,

we're dealing with the largest mass murder in Finnish history.
