This weekend, I have a bookfair in Paris.

Come with me.

I'm going to Ruka to ski.

Reschedule.

It's a school vacation week.

Don't go yet. Stay the night.

Darling, I can't.

Aah!

Anu is dangerous. - Taskinen's punch is dangerous.

No, Koivu, really... - Martsu.

I don't want her to...

What don't you want? - I don't want her to take you.

Tell me what you want.

MARIA KALLIO White Prince

Let's put the bridge here. What does the train say?

How does that taste?

Hi! How come you're here already?

Look who's rise and shine!

I came as soon as I could. - Hey, bunny.

Nice knitted onesie. - Your mom knits so much -

soon you and Antti will be sporting similar overalls.

Morning. - Morning.

I need a screwdriver here.

Screwdriver? - Yes, a small one.

Okay, I think we've got one here somewhere.

Whose eyes do you have?

Those big, grey-blue eyes.

Someone is hung over, dropping plates and everything.

Actually, not at all.

No? - Nope.

You were quite wild last night.

What do you mean? - Don't you remember?

You passed out on the couch. - Okay, well...

Lay there flat, like a dead fish.

Come on! - You're running away!

Just like Maria as a baby.

We get to go out today. - Today?

The first thing you father said was "you two are going out, right?"

He wants to spend quality time with Iida. - Great.

Did you find the screwdriver? - Not yet.

Talk to me. - A snow tractor driver -

found a dead body in his tractor dipper.

Apparently stabbed. - Okay, I'll go.

Koivu will be there soon, can you handle it?

Yes, I can. Tell Koivu I'll go to the station, I don't need him.

Sure, keep each other posted.

What a great party! I might still be drunk.

True! I'll soon be in Mäkkylä. Bye. - Bye.

Bladed weapon. Most likely died of blood loss, -

the soil is so tainted around the body.

What did you find? - The angle is well-chosen.

This is the only spot that no camera reaches.

Mylly Corner, the locals say.

Oh, this was inside his jacket lining.

All other belongings stolen, I found nothing else.

So he's Lasse Jokela. - Yes, author with Finlandia Award.

He has now written his final chapter. In blood.

Did the patrol talk to the plow driver? - Yes.

He came around 6.30 to move the snow and spread gravel.

Didn't see anything out of the place -

except the body in his tractor scoop.

I couldn't make it to Taskinen's Chinese new year.

My ex faded, I had to stay home with my girl.

But it was a great party, right?

What, no?

Come on, details!

Unbelievable.

Pätkis, get everything on Lasse Jokela.

Yes. I'll notify his family. Bye.

My condolences.

How did he die? - This is a criminal investigation.

I have a couple of questions, if you're up to it.

When did you last see your husband?

Lasse was in his writing phase.

He didn't spend much time at home, then.

Where was he yesterday?

He has an office in Villa Linnunlaulu.

That's where he went yesterday.

I left for work at 8 am, he must have left at some point.

Did you have any contact yesterday? - No.

Lasse often spent the night at his office.

Where were you last night? - At home.

Watched a movie and went to bed.

Alone.

I'm used to being alone.

Pätkis. Look into the Jokelas, Paula and Lasse.

And find Lasse Jokela's editor for me.

Okay. Koivu is looking for you here.

Why?

Where are you? We have a body and you're MIA.

I'll come after I meet the editor.

No, wait there. I'll pick you up.

We do these things together.

Bye!

Hi. - Hello.

Here.

So, you want to get rid of me?

No. Taskinen said you'll be in later.

I mean yesterday. You left so fast.

Did we cross a line?

Well... It depends.

I don't know.

This is unfair. You have the right to be very distant one day -

and another day warmer towards me.

Sorry.

I wasn't quite myself last night.

Who were you, then?

Can we just go?

Lasse's new novel is about an author -

murdered by his mistress.

The White Prince?

When did you last contact Lasse Jokela?

We met on Monday.

Talked about marketing the new book.

He was just as charming as always.

We have a very close relationship, have had for 15 years.

You met often?

On Mondays. - All work?

Lasse is a very physical person.

Where did you meet on Mondays?

At the Glo Hotel.

Where were you last night and this morning?

At home, with my family. My husband can verify it.

Thank you.

Can I have one of these?

Thank you. And my condolences.

Jokela was a big lover.

Different days and hotels, different women.

Yes. Jokela has been married 13 years.

They have no children. He also has several side affairs.

Shit! - What?

Who leaked this? - What?

The only outsider is the tractor driver.

Tractor driver Eke has posted on his Instagram account at 6:44 am:

"A different day at work, hashtag Mäkkylä".

The photo has bloody marks on snow.

Some journo has followed hashtag Mäkkylä, -

messaged Eke about the events of his work day.

We have to be really strict about these.

Yes, bye.

That was Butik Hotel. Jokela was there last night.

What's this mood, then?

Koivu and I will take the hotel, you carry on here.

Yes. - Koivu, let's go.

This could have been a perfect hangover day.

Why do people die at wrong times?

Hey, you can't throw these away. We'll need these next year.

We hadn't cleaned in here yet.

When I saw the news, I told to leave Lasse's room untouched.

Lasse's room? - This is his regular room.

How often did he stay here?

From Tuesday to Wednesday every week.

I guess he didn't write here?

I can't reveal my client's private affairs, -

but it was common knowledge Lasse stayed in this room.

Who was with him here yesterday?

Hello. - Hello.

Koivu and Kallio, Länsi-Uusimaa Police. - Mikko Lumijoki.

Is your wife Ilona Lumijoki home?

No. Ilona is at work, the children at school.

What has happened?

We need to talk to her. Where does she work?

They're shooting at the studio, it's in Konala.

Are you absolutely certain? Where did you hear it?

Well, guess? Guess who I bumped into?

No way! Well, of course.

This is going a bit too far.

Thank you. Let's take five.

Okay, yes. - Ilona.

Your scenes are done for the day.

Well, fine.

Here you go.

Ilona Lumijoki? - Yes.

Kallio and Koivu, crime investigators.

Can we talk?

What? Why?

No... How!

Lasse can't be dead, I... - My condolences.

We have some questions, if you're up to it?

When did you last see Lasse Jokela?

Oh... Lasse...

I left the hotel yesterday.

Can anyone verify this?

Mikko can. I... - Your husband?

I had promised to go home.

Are all parties happy with this affair arrangement?

Surely you don't suspect Mikko?

No, don't. Don't! This has been too much already.

I... Mikko wouldn't hurt anyone.

Did Lasse have any enemies? - No!

I loved Lasse!

With him, I lived the most.

He was good to me, I was good to him.

Anu, can you go talk to Mikko Lumijoki again?

Check where he was last night?

The mistress' husband? - Yup, that's him.

Ilona Lumijoki is a real alpha female of family life.

Her husband supports her -

and Ilona is free to act and screw anyone she wants.

She rumbles sheets and drinks bubbly with Lasse at the hotel -

and then returns home to her husband.

How strong are your contact lenses?

The story is not half as bad in my eyes.

I'm a bit prejudiced here, I admit. - What do you mean?

Mikko Lumijoki claims to be just fine with Ilona having another man.

It's not an ideal situation, -

but he wants to keep his family and loves Ilona.

And he decided to kill his wife's mistress. - No!

Mikko and Ilona ran her lines for today's scenes.

Mikko is apparently his wife's manager.

They went to bed. This morning, they took the kids to school.

Did you believe him? - Not completely.

A bit too perfect to be true.

I went to the school.

They saw Mikko and Ilona together in the morning. Happy family.

Some have it all. - Are you talking about me?

Who else?

Kirsti's autopsy report is in.

Healthy man, liver test levels a bit high.

White Prince tattooed on his chest.

Look at that! The killer wanted to slash the White Prince.

If a mistress called him the White Prince, -

I'd say the motive for murder is jealousy.

But I'm not an expert in mental issues.

You do good here with a degree in armchair psychology.

Let's find out who called him that.

Anu, the vic's bank accounts.

Pätkis, social media, telecoms and cameras on the train route.

If he had a lot of women, maybe he had a lot of... enemies.

I'll be right back.

Yes? What did you have?

Who's that? Is this in your yard?

Yes, but I don't know who it is. - We have to take this seriously.

Where did they get your address?

We're keeping your identity under wraps.

Nobody, not Liikanen nor Luoto can find it out.

Our dance video has over a 100,000 views.

That... No, I don't think so.

I don't care how it got out.

Luoto is in prison. Put tabs on Liikanen.

Of course. - I want to reopen the case.

Let's wait a while. There are lot of whackos around.

I'll follow him myself. - Sure.

Keep a low profile. - Of course.

The hotel called, their security footage is ready.

Sorry for the delay. These are our last images of Lasse.

Ilona told the truth.

And Lasse left in the morning.

Hi. - Ilona left the hotel at 7:21 pm, Jokela at 5:59 am.

Check cams around the train station around 6 am, see if he was followed.

We got telecom clearance. Jokela bought a train ticket at 6:10.

He made reservations to a Paris hotel through booking.com.

Okay, thanks.

Maria?

Can we talk?

Let's talk later.

When's later?

Sorry.

I didn't realize I'm someone -

who harasses a colleague at a work party.

A colleague?

Yes.

I didn't realize I fall for you again so easily.

Driving along in my carriage...

Hi. Great timing, Iida is about to fall asleep, -

our reservation is soon. - Hey, I'm totally beat.

We're going.

Okay. Three mins. - Sure.

This place seems nice.

We got the last table. - Yes.

We don't have a reservation, but we're two.

Honey Could you...

Oh... Yes.

Maria, hi! - Hi! - Hello!

We tried to get a table, but they're fully booked.

But... - We have two seats here, just sit down.

We don't want to disturb you on your night out.

It's fine. - Just sit down.

Of course. - Seriously?

Thank you. This is a great place but always full.

Shall we have champagne?

No, the lovely rose.

I'll drop Peetu off at his practice.

Did you talk to them about the stalker?

It has nothing to do with this.

You can't be sure. - I'm sure.

Just go.

Cheers! - Cheers, honey.

Looks lovely.

Your dress is lovely. You're lovely.

Where did you honeymoon? - In France.

I'd never been there. The spring was far...

Maria, want some?

Yes. I need to go to the ladies' room.

Sounds lovely. - It was.

What did you order? - Pumpkin gnocchi.

What's wrong with you? - Nothing.

I can see it. You're distant, fiddling with your phone.

I checked if there are messages from Koivu.

And how long has this been going on?

I don't know.

What are you going to do?

Maybe I should tell Antti at some point.

Hey, think again.

Don't rush into anything.

Antti is too good for me. - Antti is lovely.

And so are you.

That's how life is. Let's go.

Hi.

Hello. - You had something about the investigation?

Yes.

Ilona didn't tell you about this thing...

I thought you might want to know about it.

Miro, when you were inside, -

did you hear anything about Rami Luoto?

Like what?

Names, a new gang, new drug, some place?

There's a new gang in Finland, they talked about our end there.

What did they say? - They sell Asian stuff.

I don't know where it comes from, the Dog Man handles it. - Dog Man?

Didn't Luoto import the drugs in dogs' intestines?

What about Liikanen, Luoto's stepbrother? - Don't know.

Where are you going? - Out and about.

Eevert is coming tomorrow. - Good.

How do you manage Iida's care?

I'm at home, Maria is at work.

And you're fine with it?

Yes, I... I want to cherish this time.

And your employer is fine with it?

Yes, yes... Or...

Antti is applying for a researcher post.

I see.

I think it's great Antti is home with Iida.

I understand the baby years, but Antti, -

I'm expecting an invitation to your Nobel prize ceremony. Seriously.

And you want to push a baby stroller in Haukilahti.

I'm on paternity leave.

I'm not talking about what society offers you, -

I'm talking about you and your life.

And Maria fell in love with the way you use your brain.

I don't think my time with Iida messes with my brain.

Maria, I think you have a bad influence on Antti.

This is going too far. - I don't think your system works.

Put Iida in daycare and go to work, both of you.

You're voicing a strong opinion on something that isn't your business.

People can do what they want, even if we don't want it.

What about Maria?

Maria! Say something?

Are really happy with this situation?

Kirsti, we're happy.

I got my PhD at 24, I have time for family now.

Okay, you're happy, Maria is very happy.

Right?

So, anyone for coffee or something?

I'll have an Irish coffee.

Yes, coffee, please. - I'm fine.

Just fine.

Yes, thank you.

Surely you can have one beer? - Not today.

My guess is...

Miro would be better for Susanna.

I'm such a fucking grumpy old man.

Come on now.

Susanna has always liked you. You're important to her.

Like you to Maria?

And yet, she had a child with some other guy.

Keeps you on a leash.

You keep adoring her, do whatever she asks.

You're obsessed with Maria.

What a lousy hand.

That's how it goes.

What was that about? - Kirsti was drunk.

Don't mind her. - She was so fierce.

Hey, you're a good father and a spouse.

Now I mind even more. What's wrong with you?

I'm just tired.

Listen, I got to take this. - Okay.

Hello. - Sorry to call so late.

That's okay.

Mikko Lumijoki was here.

He told about Ilona Lumijoki and a stalker harassing their family.

He uses several identities to bombard Ilona's social media.

He also told me -

that Ilona has been very anxious for years -

and fears for her children.

Okay, let's find the stalker.

Did you get any tips about the identity?

I'll go through the profiles Mikko gave me.

Let's continue this in the morning.

It's someone close to Ilona and Lasse Jokela.

Yup. - Bye.

Asleep?

I just wanted Ilona to be well.

What do you think about Ilona having other men?

It's difficult. - Morning.

I've come to terms with it.

Did you get messages from the stalker?

Yes, one week I got a message every two hours.

It was always the same. A pic of Ilona and Jokela.

I blocked him, but he always had a new profile -

and he sent a new message.

You said you filed a complaint?

Many times, but nobody ever gets back to me.

I checked the complaints.

He filed one every month, but nothing was done about them.

I got this today, this morning.

The message reads: "The White Prince is no more."

And that's the latest message?

This is the longest pause between messages in two years.

Was it a burner cell? - Yes.

It last pings in Mäkkylä.

All the social profiles of the stalker have been removed.

As if they never existed.

Keep combing, we'll find him. It's someone close to them.

There are a lot of people working at the studios.

Get info of them. - Yes.

Okay, I'll be right back. Good job. - Yes.

Hi. - Hi.

Liikanen? - Yes, one kilometer from our house.

Who took this photo? - Miro is helping me out.

Miro? He just got out of prison.

Yes, and lives with us, just like Ström.

We finally got heat in the main building.

Miro is my stepson now.

He can do some favors in lieu of rent.

Surely this is not that serious?

No, I'm thinking of my own stuff.

How's it going with the new girl? - Well.

She's professional. But I still miss you a bit.

You'll be fine without me.

Hey, Susanna. - Koivu, ciao.

How are you? - Fine, what about you?

Just... Just fine, I guess.

See you. - See you. Yes.

Hi. - Hi.

Wanna grab lunch?

You didn't answer my messages.

We were in a restaurant.

Here you are. I found something.

They are all followers of Mikko Lumijoki, -

Ilona Lumijoki and Lasse Jokela.

I suspect this is the same guy with five different profiles.

All accounts are followed by many celebs.

I ran the accounts against our database, -

and no hits, so they're fake profiles.

Except this one. Teppo Olkkala

35 yrs, male, lives in Matinkylä, a sound technician.

Hi. - Yes?

Pätkis found out that an Opel registered to Olkkala -

was in front of Butik Hotel and at the railway station -

and in 30 mins, at the Mäkkylä stop.

Pick him up. - I'll go there with Koivu.

Thank you.

Empty. He's not here.

Oh, look!

Actress Ilona Lumijoki and family ready for Lapland!

Hi! - Listen, I need a list of employees at the Konala studios.

Anu and I will go there. - We'll meet you there.

He had quite an obsession.

Wallin and Beaktas from the police. - Hello.

The shooting location?

That way. - Thanks.

I need a word with the producer.

The producer is right there. - Thank you.

The sound technician is Topi Tonteri, -

but his pay goes to Teppo Olkkala's account.

He's on today, the shooting starts later.

But Olkkala is here? - The producer said he always gets in early.

This way.

Where's Anu? - She went ahead.

Pätkis, we'll take this.

Fine, I'll go that way. - Yes.

Hey!

Freeze! Police! Show yourself!

Ouch!

Are you okay? - Yes. He went that way.

Freeze!

Stay put! - He didn't deserve such a great woman like Ilona.

And that's for you to decide?

Yes! - Got him.

The nearest patrol to Konala, we've captured the perp.

Roger. - Are you okay?

I'm fine.

Let's see those legs, we won't carry you.

Where are Eevert and Miro? - I drove them to the hockey rink.

I'm leaving.

Where?

You can get on with your life.

I won't be a burden to you.

But if I want that?

I'm too old for you.

You don't have to be with me.

Are you afraid to be close to me?

Don't go anywhere.

I love you.

DELETE

Maria.

Hi. - Hi.

What is it? - Oh...

No, I've...

I've been thinking. - Yes?

And...

I've realized how unsure you are about us.

So will you marry me?

Marry? - Yes.

I want you to be mine.

Well...

Antti...
