We need to do something to the bathroom countertop.

It will mold if it gets more moisture.

A laminate top would be good.

Wood won't last. - Yes.

Did you and Ida go to Bauhaus to check the countertops?

I didn't have time.

Who are they? - Our playground gang, great guys.

You should come along sometime.

When? I'm too tired after work.

I prioritize Bauhaus. - Should we buy one of these?

I've always dreamed of a wooden sailboat.

You, a sailor? - Well, why not?

You realize it's a lot of work, a lot of sanding and grinding.

No, you don't.

Did you send your senior researcher application?

There's this ecological paint -

that you brush to the hull of a wooden boat once a year -

and the boat won't need other maintenance.

MARIA KALLIO North Wind

Aren't you the energetic early bird. - Right back at you. Morning.

Good morning.

Check out what Pulkka and Taskinen just sent.

Look at Pulkka's hands.

Taskinen is so cute. A bit like a teddy bear.

Can we be IDd from there?

It's fun, but we're all pretty visible.

Captions are missing:

here are Poison's dancing detectives.

And next up, the murder squad shows their best moves -

and this is how the crime techs sway their hips.

Did you hear we're getting a new detective?

What, did Taskinen fire Ström? - Yup.

Anu Wallin is an incredible find. - Okay.

She joins us today from the Turku Border Guard's Drug Crime Unit.

Excellent language skills, speaks five languages fluently.

I see. - And a degree in marine biology.

Her PhD thesis was about vulnerable algae in the archipelago.

She cleared the Police Academy in record time.

You could have given me a heads-up.

That's why you're here. Now you know.

We all wanted Anu, believe me. She's a really good guy.

I'm sure you'll get on brilliantly.

I forwarded a 911 message to you. There is a body in Suvisaaristo.

Maria, can you take care of this? - Of course.

I'll take care of Anu's contract details.

You should have heard Taskinen reading the CV of the new detective.

You know Taskinen a special place in his heart -

for intelligent and educated women.

I didn't finish the law school.

Well, it doesn't make you any less intelligent or lovely.

Hi. - Hello.

Hi.

Anu Wallin. - Maria Kallio.

Nice to be here. - Welcome.

Koivu, hi. Great to have you on board.

Hi. - Let's go.

We have an interesting vehicle today.

It's great that the border guard lends us their equipment.

Where are we going?

The victim is Juha Merivaara, 59.

Found on an island, a blow to the head.

Co-owns Merimaa companies with his brother Mikke Sjöberg.

The family owns that island.

The brothers have different surnames. - Yes, apparently different mothers.

And the name of the company is Merimaa?

Yes. They celebrated the wedding of the vic's daughter Riikka Merivaara.

Damn, I wish the sea would open, I could go diving.

Are you a diver? - Yes.

I went to the army in Upinniemi, the navy.

I got into diving there. Hi.

Hi. - Hello.

Water has always fascinated me.

It's my element. - So, military diver training?

Yes. A combat diver.

But I took the course in Sweden, the tests are a bit easier there.

When were you in Upinniemi?

July -09. - July -07.

You've accomplished a lot. - I only have one life.

Go see who's at the house. - Yes.

Hi. - Hello.

Hi. How come you're here already? We had to wait for proper transport.

Well, crime techs invest in getting around in all terrains.

Helicopter, of course.

I knew it, you took the only chopper.

Is the wound on the top of the head deep?

No. There was some broken glass there.

Other traces were washed away in last night's downpour.

Looks light, a blow with that hardly kills such a big man.

I suspect the weapon was something else -

and when he fell, he hit the storm lantern.

We're checking the boat, look at this.

I'm stepping on Kirsti's toes -

but I'd say he's taken a pretty big blow to the chin.

As a result, he lost an intact jawbone and his balance, -

fell and died.

What do you think, what was he hit with?

Hi. I'm Taisto Pulkka, you must be the new one.

Yes, Anu Wallin. I'm the new one, and a bit too eager.

Sorry. - Don't worry.

Who was there? - Riikka Merivaara and her new husband Tapio Holma, -

Holma's son, Tuomas Holma.

The victim's son Jiri Merivaara.

Widow Anna Merivaara.

And the victim's brother Mikke Sjöberg.

Hi, I'm Maria Kallio from the police.

My condolences. I am sorry.

We'll take preliminary statements now -

and I'll talk to you separately and ask about the evening and night.

Pekka Koivu here will also talk to you.

I ask for patience in the midst of your great shock.

You're Anna Merivaara? - Yes, I am.

We could talk first. - Fine.

Anu. - Yes.

Hello. I am Pekka Koivu, Espoo Police.

Let's go to the side to talk.

Juha was... he slept terribly restlessly.

We had gone to bed already at midnight.

He stood up and I asked where he's going and he...

He said the north wind is rising, those ancient pines can fall down.

Why did he think that at night? What could he do about it?

In the morning I... I came to the kitchen -

and he hadn't made coffee.

I wondered about it. I went out to look for him and there he was.

I got so scared.

It's an absurd idea to drag at this time of year -

guests by chopper to the island.

What do you mean? - Juha had promised that -

when Riikka gets married, -

the wedding will be on the island, summer or winter.

Can I have a list of the wedding guests, -

including those who left last night?

Yes, yes, of course. - Thank you.

For my father, family was number one. He supported and...

He didn't want me to get married.

For Juha, our age difference was too much.

But he took care of us.

He said you need to know what you're doing, that I trust you.

And where did you sleep overnight?

On the other side of the island, in a separate cabin.

Did anything special happen? Something that caught your attention?

At night... I woke up and I looked at the clock at 5:32.

There was a terrible storm -

and the wind was howling, but I heard a voice.

What kind of sound?

Some engine, whirring, something.

Okay.

Thanks.

And my condolences.

Please tell me how the evening went.

Everything was going well until...

Juha was not happy about Riikka's wedding, -

but organized the party anyway.

Mom threw the party, dad came just before the ceremony.

Why wasn't Juha happy about Riikka's wedding?

Holma is dad's business acquaintance.

Dad thought Holma was too old for Riikka.

Why was the wedding here?

What is this place?

Juha and I have spent all summers here as children.

We grew up attached to the Baltic Sea.

This island is our continent, our roots.

Holma is a capitalist shit, trying to profit from dad's business.

Jiri, don't. I don't think so.

Hi, Anu could you...?

Can you show me where everyone slept? - Thank you.

What kind of relationship did you have with your brother?

Businesslike.

Can you tell us something about Juha's company?

Yes. We, or Juha and me own Merimaa paint company, -

the largest company producing ecological paints.

Juha never took a holiday. He always thought of others...

He will make money so we can manage, but he didn't have to.

Who could have wanted to hurt him?

No one.

How did it go? - Riikka Merivaara -

said she woke up at 5.30 am to some engine noise.

Tuomas Holma said he had a sauna with Jiri, -

but according to him, Jiri is green commie, i.e. boring.

I see. What about the bridal couple?

Celebrated their wedding night on the other side of the island,

I see. Everyone can go home, but no traveling.

We'll bring them back if necessary. Let's put them on surveillance. - Okay.

Hi there.

Hi! - Hello!

Pätkis. - Anu.

Anu, this is your workstation. - Okay.

Welcome.

It's Pulkka. - Go ahead, we'll get started.

Hi. - So all the guests say they were in their rooms by 2 am.

No one saw the victim go out.

Wife Anna Merivaara had woken up at night -

and found her husband gone, but went back to sleep.

In the morning, she found the body at the shore.

Why did Juha go out at night?

To clear his head.

Pulkka's investigation found fresh snowmobile tracks on the north side.

Snowmobile?

Could someone on the island have killed him?

Wedding night and patricide. Quite a combo.

It takes a bit of planning.

Koivu, take Riikka and sound samples from different snowmobiles. - Okay.

Pätkis, what did you find? - Here you can see -

every wedding guest's residence and location information.

We won't get Taskinen to agree to phone surveillance yet.

He will back us up, speed up the process.

This Tuomas Holma has quite a lot of debt.

Maybe payday loans, lives beyond his means, I quickly googled.

He talks about it in an article about gambling addicts.

He'd happy to marry Riikka -

whose father could afford to fly the whole wedding party to the island.

He said that marriage ended dad's money worries.

Anu, you take the Holmas and report back in a couple of hours. Okay?

Ready? - Yes.

Hello. - Hi.

I invested in my hobby. Brand-new.

This will make up for your slowness.

I'm really fast. What do you say?

Better than my supermarket racket from high school.

Anu, Anu Wallin: ingenious, effective...

Isn't she a good addition to you?

Wallin, - Anu and I were just thinking -

it would be good if we could monitor every wedding guest's phone.

It hasn't been done... - I know.

We don't usually get such extensive permit for wiretapping so early.

But Anu said -

that Turku District Court's latest decisions say it's perfectly legal.

Well if that's the case then yes, I'm in favor.

Let's write up the application.

Good. - I'll take care of it.

Yes. - Let Anu know...

I'll let Anu know as soon as we get the permits. - Great.

I'm off. - He's fast.

What do you mean? - Well, I'm really worried.

Hello. - Hi.

Hi. We collected the sounds of five different snowmobile types.

Let's see if we can narrow it down.

Take your time to listen. - Thanks.

Can you hear? - Yes.

Good.

The sample is probably too big.

What did she want to talk about? - She was worried.

According to her new husband, the Merivaaras are emotionally cold -

and the rest of the family suffered from the victim's despotism.

But Riikka disagreed?

She said dad took care of everyone and that's why he paid for the wedding.

Tuomas Holma also spoke about the same despotism, -

but it might be coming from jealousy.

What are you thinking about?

Tuomas Holma said he had asked his dad -

to help repay a loan, but it didn't work out.

Okay, let's talk to him some more.

Why would he talk to me about money troubles -

if he killed his stepmother's father.

What about fingerprints and DNA?

The storm lantern only had the vic's fingerprints.

Kirsti's report is here.

The wound has no extra material -

that could tell you what the victim was hit with.

Okay, I'll call Kirsti to get the latest.

Let's just check the registers for owners of these vehicles.

Merivaara's didn't have one. - Yes.

Dibs Traficom. - Here!

Oh, thanks! - You're welcome.

I sent the techs back to explore the terrain.

Kirsti confirmed, that the victim's jaw was shattered.

Somebody had hit him with some kind of round object.

Jaw broken, teeth lost.

There are 321 owners of snowmobiles in Southern Finland.

So many. Why don't I have one? - Only 26 from Espoo.

So move to the countryside. Or further into the country.

Haha. - Haha.

I went through father Holma's information.

He owns Arkticum, an interior design firm -

which has long stocked chalk paint from the Merimaa paint factory.

He also told me the vic had wanted to end their resale contract -

after the vic found out about Holma's relationship with Riikka.

Did the victim cancel the resale contract?

No. Holma seemed genuinely sad -

for Riikka's difficult situation with her dad because of their love.

He blamed himself.

He wanted the best for his loved one.

A 60-year old guy sleeping his way to the top will say anything.

Especially if his finances are not in order.

Martsu's idea of love is so emotional, -

it makes sensitive people blush.

Anu, you want some? - I'm vegan.

I can give you the carrots.

Thanks.

Anu! Just the person I wanted to meet.

Well, here I am. - Okay, good.

How is it going? - Well, I'd say. Yes.

Good.

Great of you to share the tip of the extensive wiretaps -

you had in Turku. - Right.

Thank you. - No problem.

We are all very happy you're here with us. - Me, too.

Jiri, you should be here. DO SOMETHING about this company.

Hi Pätkis. - Mikke S. is breaking the ban to move.

Okay, where is he going? - I'll send you the coordinates.

Mikke!

You should have alerted us if you leave home.

I'm two kilometers from my home. I can't sleep.

Boats need to be cared for like a human being.

If you don't maintain them, all shit sticks to the surface -

and dissolves into structures.

I'm sorry for the death of a brother.

Thank you.

I would have liked to get to know Juha better.

You think you know the other one -

when you remember what they were like at 10, but no.

It doesn't always work like that.

He retreated into his work.

We shared the love of sea and nature, -

but we looked at it from different angles.

We had different views on many things.

Was Juha involved in some kind of grey economy?

I don't know anything about his tax evasion.

You'll find that information somewhere.

What did you mean by your relationship was businesslike?

We didn't see much of each other. - Why not?

Why don't people see each other?

Not enough interest.

Pride won't allow it.

Fear of silence.

I'm sure you know.

Me? How? - You're a cop.

Trained to suppress everything personal.

But if it's any consolation, that's what most of us do.

It's not only a matter of career choice.

We want to plug those gaps -

where someone could get close to us.

We are afraid we're going to get hurt -

but the fact that it hurts -

leads to the cleaning of the table -

and liberates the life in us.

You little messy missy.

Looking so fierce. You're scaring Nooa.

Isn't that a bit appearance-oriented?

Well, it is a bit, yes. - What's your plan today?

We'll go to the playground to meet some friends, right, honey?

Does Iida have friends?

She's so little. - Iida has many new friends.

Daddy thinks Nooa will be there today.

Nooa's pretty great, isn't he?

What are the other parents like?

Really nice, different people from different backgrounds.

Can you give me the phone?

Academically educated people, and whoever.

We are united by our time with our young children.

We're going to play a little bit. - Nice.

Hey, look, Juha and Anna Merivaara -

amended their will two weeks ago.

All of Juha's property goes directly to Jiri and Riikka.

Anna is not interested in the company, she has her own money.

I asked Anna about this.

She said Juha specifically wanted it in case something happens to him.

Did Juha suspect corporate fraud?

I don't know. It's hard to say.

So Juha Merivaara owns 49% of the stock, and so does Mikke.

And their father Harry still has 2%.

Yes, he lives in Lintuvaara.

Anna said they're not in touch with Harry, -

some break-up years ago.

My condolences.

What happened to Juha? - The investigation is still ongoing.

But he was found dead on the island.

Anna called Harry and told him.

I can... Thanks.

Did you know your granddaughter Riikka got married on the island -

the night before your son died.

We haven't seen the sons nor the grandchildren here in recent years.

What led to your break-up?

Would you like some coffee? - Thank you.

My views and the boys' views -

on the development strategy of the family business were not in line.

You gave your sons the shares.

No, I didn't give them that.

My father died very old.

My sons inherited my father's shares -

even though I had been the CEO all my career.

But I have accepted my fate.

And now I am dying.

It's the wrong order.

What do you mean?

I should have died before my son.

Listen...

I don't know if this has to do with anything, but...

A couple of days ago a foreign man suddenly came here.

Who was he? - Unfortunately I didn't get his name.

What did he want? - He wanted to negotiate with Harry.

They went into the study, stayed there for about five minutes.

What do you think it was about?

I don't know, but we never get any visitors.

He forgot this.

It's a rental receipt, that's all he left.

Thanks. I'll take this one.

Anu, I'll send you the address of a snowmobile rental company.

Go check them out. Thanks.

The snowmobile was rented -

the day before the victim's death by Gunnar Reitmaa.

He owns a paint factory in Estonia called Mare Nostrum.

Reitmaa had returned the snowmobile before the store opened. - Okay.

Sointu Annala, who lives with Harry Merivaara, says -

Mare Nostrum has periodically tried to buy Merivaara company.

Merimaa company. - Merimaa.

Why would an Estonian paint factory want to buy a Finnish company?

I don't see anything special about the Merimaa products -

except they have developed an ecological boat primer.

Does Merimaa, I mean Merivaaras... Damn these names.

Do they have any other connection with Mare Nostrum?

I'll look into it.

Let's find Gunnar Reitmaa. - Yes.

Yup.

I think Rami Luoto's contacts need to be looked into.

Where is he doing his time? - In Sörkkä.

I think the business will calm down with Luoto in prison.

Tomi Liikanen will hardly be active.

I don't see it the same way.

Tomi Liikanen has a lot of visitors, definitely dealers.

Well... Susanna, let's think about this.

How's Murder One getting along? - Well. Hi.

But we need the bean counters to investigate -

the ownership structure of Merimaa and their international relations.

Well, you can have Anni.

Okay. - Bye.

You got a new team member. - Yes. Anu is a combat diver.

A professional killer. Not typical Koivu's type.

Koivu's? What do you mean? - I put two and two together.

Hi. - Hello.

Oh, hi. - Hi there.

Can you get Anni up to date on Merimaa? - Yes.

Hi, I'm Anu. - Anni.

Gunnar Reitmaa was on the Tallinn evening boat yesterday.

The border just confirmed it.

Okay. Get an APB and arrest warrant. to the Estonian police

Anni, I sent you an email.

It's got everything we know about Merimaa company.

Get back when you've looked at it. Back to business.

Okay. I'll get back to you.

Anna Merivaara reports she's going to the island.

And Jiri is going to Lintuvaara. - Why? What reason do they have?

Anna is getting something for the funeral -

and Jiri wants to support his grandfather at a time of grief.

Each to his own, I guess.

I'm not a child anymore, I don't want kids' soda pop.

You always liked that.

But what good is it in this situation?

This is the only thing we can do.

The company will destroy the last hope we have of saving the Baltic Sea.

The whole sea is turning into a pool of poison.

It's not your fault. - Yeah, but I care.

It's that attitude that kills the entire biodiversity of this planet.

That greedy "it's not my fault" attitude.

I've thought about what's best for the family.

The only thing we can do now is to cancel the deal.

I was your legal guardian when you sold -

your 2% to the Estonians so the transaction is void.

Just sign this, I'll do the rest.

That's how we keep the majority in this company.

Sointu, come witness this and sign for your brother as well.

I'll take this to a notary. - Yes.

Thanks, grandpa. I knew you'd get it.

I found something. Pätkis, check the date in your records.

What? - This title deed.

I have...

The same. - What is it?

This has been initiated three days ago. - What?

Juha Merivaara sold his shares to Mare Nostrum the day before he died.

Okay. Thanks. - You're welcome.

Hey, we haven't cleared the crime scene yet.

Oh, I didn't think... Juha did not die in here.

Was Juha going to sell his shares in Merimaa?

I never talked about Juha's businesses.

I was sickened by all that poison it caused to our family and children.

And now Juha is no more.

We found out he sold his shares just before his death.

No...

It can't... Or yes.

Maybe Juha just didn't tell me. Who did he sell them to?

To his father? - Why would he have sold them to his father?

Harry was bitter because his father betrayed him in his will.

What did you do after Juha went out at night?

I went back to sleep.

Why would I hurt my own husband?

I have shared everything in this life with Juha.

And on the last night, he was particularly happy.

He said the company no longer stresses him.

One signature and it's all over and he'll be free.

He'll have time for me, too.

Except, of course he doesn't, he is dead.

Anna Merivaara is way too small.

She can't have clubbed her husband to death, -

she's not heavy enough.

Okay, thanks Kirsti.

What are we missing?

Why did Juha sell his shares to Mare Nostrum?

Has the Estonian police already talked to Reitmaa?

No word of arrest yet.

This is interesting.

Finnish organization Our globe tweets -

that Mare Nostrum destroys the biodiversity of the Baltic Sea.

Copper and poison from their paints dissolve into the sea.

Oh shit!

The copper emission from toxic paints used in boats are no small matter.

About 17 tons of copper end up in the environment each year.

What is Our Globe? - Here it is.

It's an organization -

giving people the opportunity to influence the decisions -

on environment and energy policy and demonstrate their power.

Jiri Merivaara is involved in it.

Who is so far away from their home?

It's Jiri.

I'll go. - Yes.

Anu, I'll send you the coordinates from the tracker.

Thank you.

Empty, can't see him.

I've got a visual. Alone, with a backpack.

Okay, go with him, but keep a distance. - Roger that.

Anu Wallin from the police, I need a ticket.

Thanks.

Maria! Anu is on Jiri's heels.

Jiri is outside Tallinn.

Anu is in a taxi behind him, industrial area near Mare Nostrum.

Okay. - All right, we've got it.

Flashlight found hidden underneath the house. The vic's DNA.

It was not Reitmaa.

And neither was it Jiri. - Thanks, Anu.

Hey, Mikke is on the move. Going towards the shore.

Let's go.

Over there.

I'll go. - Let's go together.

No, he's too suicidal.

I'll go. Wait here, give me some time.

Mikke! - Stay back.

Don't do anything!

I already did. But it was an accident.

Hey, you told me -

that we don't dare to let anyone near us -

because we're afraid of getting hurt.

But I'm here.

Trust me.

I followed him at night, when he met the Estonian.

He said the Estonian company has acquired -

both Juha's shares and our island.

I got mad.

I had a Maglite in my hand, I just took a swing. Juha fell down.

I just walked away. I didn't even look back.

It was an accident.

You'll get a short sentence.

Let me help.

Give me the gun.

Everything will be okay.

I promise.

Give me your hand.

Why don't you come to bed?

I don't want a boat.

We don't need to buy a sailboat.

I want you to be happy.

I don't need a sailboat to be happy.

Maria... Everything is fine.

Maybe a motorboat...

What do you say? - I won't say anything.

Let me show you something - I can't anymore.
