Original subtitles

I... I'll call you back.

Yeah.

Fucking hell!

This can't be happening...

You recognized me.

I've gotten photos. Your mother.. - Mom is...

I don't know if you knew.

She's not doing so well.

You must hate me. - I'm here on police business.

We're investigating Aava's murder. Apologies for the late hour.

The night Aava was killed, Aava and Toni argued.

Doping was mentioned.

So?

As her coach, you would have known if she used any banned substances.

Do you want to catch the killer?

Of course. - Then find the stalker.

Who stole some small things? - From Aava's home, damn it.

There was no other evidence, just that threatening note.

Well... There was that note.

I have nothing to say about any doping nonsense.

Fine.

Did you or Aava ever have any suspicions -

about who the stalker was?

Well, I thought it was a disturbed fan.

Aava thought it was a competitor.

But... - Did Aava have any enemies outside sports?

Not that I know. - Anyone who hated her enough -

to stalk her or to psych her out.

She was very popular.

You coached Aava for 14 years.

You were as close as an athlete and her coach can be. - Yes.

And you can't think of anyone -

who could have hated Aava Lahti like the plague?

Think about it. Nobody? - No.

It was me.

I was the stalker.

"Fucking whore, your end will come soon."

As a teenager, I read in the paper...

That my own father...

Who had abandoned me -

was now coaching a judoka about my age.

From that day on, I hated Aava.

I hated her so much.

Then I started training.

Not only judo, -

but also taekwondo, karate...

Jujutsu, kickboxing, boxing. All day long.

Did you have a coach?

Did you compete?

I had a completely different goal.

I wanted to challenge Aava one beautiful day.

Beat her up properly.

Make you watch her lose.

But I kept putting it off.

Then I just settled for...

Driving her mad before our big stand-off.

But it never came.

Nina...

I sold it. - What?

My truck.

Oh? - Paid my debts from Ivalo.

What are you going to do now?

What? - Yes.

There are...

all kinds of things. - Like what?

Hi. - Hi.

How's Venla? - Fine.

Asleep.

Good. - And how are you doing?

Parent-teacher meeting at 2.20. Can you make it? - Marita.

I've got it!

There's an old cellar hidden in the ground.

I was there three days.

Nobody did not find me.

The dogs not sniffed me. - Okay.

But stupid, I left too soon, so... They find me.

When they drop you, go south one kilometer.

It's there.

Near a big rock. - Why are you telling me this?

Because I like you.

You wanna have enough food in your hiding place -

so you can this time hide a bit longer.

Oh, your brains!

I would like to eat them.

I wanna smash your ratface in the ice.

I wanna see your smelly brains squash.

I wanna take a week that I don't piss -

so I can piss for an hour on your fucking fucked-up head.

You're fucking crazy!

Fucking crazy!

We can't interrogate Kajanne, but maybe we don't need to.

Where are you now? - When we came to pick him up, -

we saw he was putting together some kind of biography.

Most of it was about Aava, but...

What now?

All the papers are gone.

So, what should we do now? - I'll call you back.

The... biography pile? - Yes.

We've got it. It's included in the investigation file.

Could the FRP take a look? - It's not...

We were looking for his associates we didn't know.

Pretty please. - Why are you like that?

Let's find you and empty room. I can't let you take them out.

That was the asshole we arrested. - Optician Riikonen?

Quite a character.

Have they been beating up each other again?

Anything to do with illegal gambling -

and high-stakes poker in Rovaniemi goes through Riikonen.

Here we go.

What are we looking for, actually? - Anything, really.

After Kajanne himself, this stalker is our best bet for the perpetrator.

Forget the stalker.

Why? We don't have so much time. - Yeah, I know. Just forget it.

Okay. Kajanne will be executed the day after tomorrow. - I know.

Forget it. I'll explain it later. You just have to trust me.

Sorry.

Going to Oulu this afternoon. Can we meet before that? - Dad.

Are you okay? - Yeah.

Shit.. - Cream, milk? I didn't know.

I know nothing about you.

Neither. Thank you.

Now I know something.

Thanks.

I've cleaned the truck for the buyer.

They'll pick it up tonight.

Did you kill Aava?

Of course not.

My plan was to hurt her.

Badly.

When Aava was murdered, I was afraid it would be tied to me.

When that didn't happen...

I came to my senses.

Out of pure gratitude, I went to the Police Academy.

Had a child.

I didn't leave you and Elina.

It was your mother who threw me out.

What do you mean? - A classic.

I had another woman... Well, that's an exaggeration.

Just a... one-night stand. A mistake.

But of course -

a new mother doesn't like it much.

No, she wouldn't.

I understand Elina was angry.

But I don't understand -

why she didn't want me to have any contact with you, ever again.

Your mother was an educated woman, -

and I'm just an electrician.

We weren't married -

and back then, fathers didn't have too many rights.

But... Mom told me you were afraid of me.

That I'll be your undoing.

I don't know what your mother told you about me.

But based on what you told me yesterday, -

I should have fought for you, fought much harder.

I thought then -

that it would be better for me to disappear from your life -

before we get to know each other.

You wouldn't miss me like I missed you.

What do you mean?

I started coaching a girl your age.

I didn't know how to deal -

with the fact that my Bunny was taken from me.

Crap. Parent-teacher conference. I have to go.

I'm sorry.

We tried to call you.

I'm sorry. Hi, darling.

The teacher can see us after the last pupil.

That's great. Thank you.

Bwoody muwdewews.

Nobody here knows about the girls' shenanigans.

Maybe it's better.

What was that about?

All right. - I'm sorry about the mix-up.

Don't worry, this is fine. Come on in.

I'm Venla's mother.

Yes.

All right.

I'll wait here.

School-wise, everything is going better than fine.

Great. That's how it seems at home, too.

The only thing is the bloody drawings Venla has done at school.

Take a look.

Here's a list of various mental support services for children.

Well? What did he say?

Why did he think you're her mother? - Why do you think?

You're never available. Someone has to answer the messages.

I want Basque soot.

What soot? - The one dad makes. Why isn't he here?

Let's go see where dad is.

All right. - Dad's truck.

Dad's truck, that's it.

Open the door, mom. - All right.

Calm down! - Yeah!

We're looking for the child's father. - Esko Kangasniemi.

I don't want any trouble. - Where is Esko?

Where is he? - Downstairs.

All right. - There's a room, members only.

Take us there.

Hey! This was supposed to be a surprise.

Hi, darling.

Welcome to our hobbyhorse workshop.

He looks fast, right? - Yes.

Do you like it? It's for you. - Why are you here...

In a secret place? - What's so secret?

The community hall gave our room to a video work shop.

This place was vacant, so we came here.

Esko has been making this surprise for a week.

I've been sewing day and night.

Working at full steam. Do you like it?

He's really fast. - It is.

It is. - What is it called?

Budge! - It's a good name.

Who is that?

It's me.

I'm not afraid any more. - Really?

Dad made Budge for me.

I can escape the murderers.

Is that how it works? - Yes.

Dad. Venla. Marita.

DOPING! MULLER CAUGHT! - Föhn.

I hope you don't like it.

Today is a big day for you.

And for you, also.

Not much time for you.

Morning. - Who is Föhn?

Föhn? - Yes. - What about him?

You were looking for Kajanne's new acquaintances.

Föhn is not one of them, but probably Kajanne's oldest friend.

Föhn Fucking Roine. - Do you have his contact info?

Everyone knows where to find him. - Well?

I want to say thank you all for this week so far.

Nothing has stopped our courage.

Nothing has unsettled our determination.

Nothing has compromised our privacy.

We still have two big days left.

Last night you heard what kind of monster we're hunting today.

Stepan Nitko.

The Moth Man.

He's responsible for at least 27 confirmed kills.

As most of you know, Nitko managed to escape from our hunters last year.

Later, he was tracked down by our game keepers.

Nitko has been in our custody in Moscow for an entire year now.

So...

He must be thirsty.

He may forget who is the hunter here and who is the prey.

Be strong, be careful. Godspeed!

Carry out good justice today!

Death shall be their shepherd!

And the upright shall rule over them in the morning!

Thank you. Okay, let's go.

Mr. Föhn wanted to meet you here?

Well, not exactly. He was here. I called the bartender.

And who was he again?

He's a sports journalist at the local paper.

Or at least used to be. Now he's retired.

His name is Frans Roine.

He's Toni's old hockey pal from his junior years.

Did Toni really suspect Aava of using or being involved in doping?

No, not really. He was just trying to find -

a reason, any reason, why they didn't have a child.

Thanks.

Toni wanted a baby.

But Aava wanted to see where her career goes first.

Toni went along with it. But then...

Right before the murder, Toni found out -

that Aava had not been using contraception, -

even though she'd said so through their marriage.

Toni started wondering why she lied to him, and so did I.

Well...

Do you know what abortion doping is?

What? - In the early stages of pregnancy, -

the female body produces more red blood cells and hemoglobin.

It increases oxygen intake ability.

Early pregnancy also raises testosterone levels, -

which of course increases strength and boosts other hormone production.

Yes, but... - Well.

You get pregnant before important games -

and there's no risk of getting caught for doping, -

as there are no foreign substances in your body.

It's perfect.

Aava timed their vacations to match her ovulation?

And conceived a child without Toni's knowledge.

And then after the games... - Aborted the unborn children.

That's what they call abortion doping.

What did Toni think of your theory?

Well... I couldn't tell him about my doubts.

I couldn't prove anything.

Sorry, I have to take this.

Hi, what is it?

Mom's doctor called. She doesn't have long.

Can you come now? - I'll be right there.

Bye.

I'm going for a smoke.

Mom...

Mom.

Make me a good mother.

Dad, you know what if we're wrong, right?

What if, dad, we could just... We can just stop.

Now, dad.

I got a bad feeling about this.

You look like an angel.

No sign of Aava Lahti making an abortion -

in the public patient file records, ever, not even as a teenager.

We're gaining on you!

Another thing I looked into Aava's injuries -

especially the broken ribs on both sides. - Yeah?

The ensemble of injuries...

Was so graphic...

It lead everyone to see the whole thing as a ritual murder.

Yeah. - But look here.

A typical X-ray of ribs broken under pressure in resuscitation.

And... here is Aava.

Are you suggesting that someone tried to revive Aava?

But where would that lead us? Back to Toni?

It won't explain the other injuries. Why were her lips cut off?

Why was there toilet cleaner in her throat? - Nina.

You should come now, if...

My condolences.

This is fucking wrong.

Esko, can you give us a moment?

Why is Esko kissing you on the head?

Not now, Nina.

Have you two fucked?

Well, isn't it part of the deal?

What deal?

When you're in love.

Nina, wait. - I know what you're planning.

First, you pamper Venla like two fucking sugar daddies.

Then you want to see a shrink.

Setting me up as a bad mother. - No need to set it up.

You're trying to take Venla from me! - You are a bad mother!

You're never home, have never been. - Keep it coming!

Our dead mother took care of Venla, otherwise she'd be in care now.

Isn't that what you're planning?

But you're in luck, this time me and Esko care for Venla.

Two pathetic addicts trying to play a fucking family...

Who's an addict here? - Calm down. - You shut up!

Don't you see how you handle your job?

Nina! - Shut up.

You Bunnying Venla and shopping does not make you a real mom.

You know what? Nothing will ever make you a real mother.

Budge was left behind. - Too bad.

Where are we going, mom? - Mom has to think.

Hi. - Are you okay?

Yeah, I'm fine.

The abortions...

Aava wouldn't have had them in the public healthcare, never.

Like you said, it would have gotten out.

If she even had any.

Where do the Finnish celebrities go to have an abortion in privacy?

How the fuck should I know. - I don't know, either.

But it has to be quite expensive.

Your old supervisor Ylikorpi, -

he tried to investigate the murder from multiple angles.

Yes?

Nina? - Yeah.

So, he got the bank records from everyone involved back in the day.

I could check if Aava had any bigger payments after her major tournaments.

Okay. Fine, do it.

I need to go now. - Nina..?

Hey.

Of course.

You.

Only you have the right to put me down yourself.

You ready? You wanna do it?

Wanna kill me? Do it.

Come on! Don't be such a fucking child!

In all its simplicity, -

toughness is a complicated thing to cherish, Justin.

I'm not the self-made man everybody thinks I am.

The Marine Corps made me a man.

I went to Vietnam, life, years and years of business. -

made me what I am today.

If I could make myself into the man I would like to be, -

I would make myself a kinder, gentler man.

But I am what I am.

But I've made a fortune, Justin, many, many fortunes -

on the weaknesses and mistakes of other people.

I can't change that.

I need this week, one week a year -

when I try to pay for my sins.

I've known this ever since I was a little boy.

The same thing every year.

Felt like Christmas.

Cos you returned home -

full of... - Full of what?

Full of love, dad! You returned home full of love.

That's why I wanted to join you and to come to this place.

I'm sorry, son.

I'm not gonna stop.

But you won't be joining us tomorrow.

I love you, son.

Can I just give up?

Time is running out for Toni and I can't do anything about it.

So is that okay? - I don't know -

what you're talking about, but it's fine.

I couldn't think of where we could go.

So I came here.

This is your grandpa. - Hi, grandpa.

I prefer gramps myself.

It's too late, not any more. - Mom, please!

All right, once and then to bed. - Gramps, count out loud.

Ten.

Nine.

Eight.

Do you have something to drink?

Seven!

The stronger, the better.

Six.

Thanks. - Five.

Four.

To Toni Kajanne!

Three. - People die every day.

Two. - One died today.

Your old flame.

One. Here I come!

Hey, I was going to call you. Nothing in Aava's bank records.

No major payments after her tournaments. - Okay.

Is there my father's bank account information also in that file?

The coach? - Yeah.

Yes, it's here also. - Okay. Good. Check it right now.

It was so nice to tuck a child into bed.

And it's a lot of work.

When I was little, -

half of my dreams were about this place.

And now you're really here.

Always after the major tournaments you went with Aava...

You had sizable invoices from operations in Provita.

What is that? - A private clinic in Oulu.

My back. Disk prolapses.

Trips are hard for coaches, too.

My colleague found out the doctor's name.

Why on earth would you visit a gynecologist?

An obstetrician, in fact?

What are you on about?

I let you both in.

And you... - I envied Aava for years because she snatched my father away.

It never entered my mind that you could do something bad to her.

It's not that simple.

Aava was like a... - Abortion doping. Whose idea was it?

Mom saw you at Saariselkä the night Aava was killed.

The police thought you were in Rovaniemi, where your phone was.

Did you leave your phone behind on purpose?

If you did, you had decided to kill Aava.

I forgot it.

Aava was in trouble and I left in a hurry.
