Original subtitles

Finally! - Sorry, sorry!

Had to work late at the lab.

The doctor is here! Il Dottore in the house!

Take a break or your brain will melt. - Right.

We were going to have choir practice. - This is, a bit different.

All right. Hi there. - Hi.

Hi there. Oh, I see.

There you go. Dig in. - Thanks.

All right.

We need some good vibes here.

Hi. - Hello.

Joel in his element, again.

They started yesterday. Or earlier.

But you didn't miss anything.

I love you all.

We were going to have choir practice, but it didn't happen.

Life doesn't always go according to plans.

Work was never important for me, but you, my friends, are.

And having a good time with you.

Thank you, my friends.

Kallio? - Yes.

Congratulations. - Thanks.

MARIA KALLIO My First Murder

Happy birthday. - Don't overdo it.

35 is really special. - It's nothing. Halfway to nowhere.

Guess what? - Well?

I have a surprise for you. - What's that?

We will see each other, even if you leave in a few weeks.

I don't like surprises.

You will like this one. - Now I'm interested.

What could it be? Hello.

Hello. - Hi.

We have a body in Nuottaniemi. - What happened?

An Espoo patrol got the call and went to the scene.

Some choir practicing.

That was 45 minutes ago, so it's fresh off the press.

Most likely the basic set: booze, summer night and singing.

All right. Where's Ström?

He's still in his weekend mood. You'll take the lead.

Me? - Your first own case.

Ask me for help any time.

No, wait... I won't be here, but you can call me.

And listen, congratulations. - Thanks.

Honkanen is on duty, she's already there.

You can handle it.

All right, lead investigator. Let's s if they saved some bubbly for you.

There's our new lead.

Ina Grön called it in. The deceased is Joel Peltonen.

38, Sustainability Manager at Fortum. - Joel Peltonen?

Did you know him? - I knew him at university.

Should you recuse yourself? - This could be an open-and-shut case

Let's check the body first.

Peltonen's parents own this villa.

His dad also worked at Fortum, but is now retired.

The vic has no criminal record. Five speeding tickets in three years.

Driving while intoxicated? - Traffic cameras won't tell us that.

No violent crimes in our database.

Check that out.

Maria! - Hi.

This is so absurd.

I'm so sorry.

I thought you studied law? - I'm the lead investigator.

Any other people present? - They left last night.

We stayed here and... And...

Come on.

Please wait inside. - All right.

Looking at the future.

What fun do you have for me? - Hit in the head.

Water washed away all traces.

Let's take the photos.

No sign of bloody froth. - So he didn't drown.

Most likely not. Facing up. - Sorry.

Yes?- Happy birthday to you...

This is not a good time.

Have you been working out? - What does it look like?

I haven't managed any, either.

Did you get the flowers? - Yes, thank you.

Did you pass it? - What?

The financial law exam?

Can I call you back?- Did you get the boat out of water?

And the dock? - I'll call you.

Can I touch him now? - Be my guest.

Might be too cold for that already. Bag him.

Tell me if you get the phone open.

No major signs of dragging.

No bruises on his legs.

Let's go talk to them.

Let's take some samples.

How did you know Joel? - Kirsti sang in the choir in med sch

We sometimes hit the same bars. A lively, energetic guy.

ADHD, stories rowing from here to there.

Don't tell me he won't row any more. - Nope. But he won't sing, either.

We have Antti Sarkela, Joel's friend.

Scientist at the Space Science in Otaniemi Aalto University.

Samuel Haataja, friend, no current job.

Tuulia Onninen, a lawyer.

All single, 35 or so.

Ina Grön is upstairs. She discovered the body.

Can we talk to her?

Hello.

Ina Grön? I'm detective Maria Kallio.

Joel doesn't... he doesn't talk.

Where did you find Joel? - I... He...

I ran into the water.

Did you touch Joel? - I dragged him out.

And I saw his head.

Maria? Can you come down to the shore?

Ina needs to see a doctor. Let's talk to her later.

The blood seems to be fresh.

Take them all in in separate cars. DNA samples from everyone.

Talk to me. - Dead man on the shore, head open.

Axe with blood on it found next to it.

A bit messy, substances involved. I knew the vic remotely.

Do I have your blessing to arrest them for reason to suspect?

You have my blessing.

Take them in. No conflict of interest, so bear with

I can do that.

Maria! ! What are you thinking? We're not killers!

The crayfish party was a joke, Joel's surprise for the choir.

He just wanted everyone to have a good time.

I want a lawyer. This is ridiculous.

Anyone could have come by boat and offed the vic.

True. But let's start with those four.

Check this out, this is interesting.

What are you thinking?

A blunt or a sharp object? - Could be an axe, yes.

I can't smell alcohol. - Not too much.

We found him on a rocky shore. - Yes.

This could be caused by collision with a rock after the fall.

It's not from the sharp edge of the a The trauma is not as clear-cut.

Look at these marks.

Small bruises. Someone twisted his hand.

Somersault, hit, cracked skull.

Otherwise clean.

And as handsome as ever.

How long for the tox screens? - Long.

Antti was there.

Really? You hit it off back then.

You liked his quiet nature. But he was a perfectionist.

What's wrong with that? - Nothing.

All right, open the skull. - All right.

I don't often open up my friends.

I won't say anything if I'm a suspect.

It's easier if you tell us what happened last night.

You decide how long this will take.

Fine. Where do you work?

I'm a lawyer, so don't fuck with me.

Your papers don't name your employer. - I work for anyone who pays me.

Joel is like a brother to me.

You were convicted of drug possession and home growing 10 years ago.

It's ages ago.

Joel is like a brother to me. Believe me!

Where do you get your drugs?

Listen, dude. Your friend is dead.

If I was you, I'd change my attitude fast.

When did you last see Joel Peltonen?

In the sauna. - What happened after sauna?

We went back inside.

Where were the others? - In the sauna. I don't know.

You and Joel were alone in the house.

No... Tuulia came as well.

I rolled... I went outside for a smoke.

Tuulia and Joel stayed inside, then Ina came.

Hello. - Hi.

Susanna is really good. Why did Taskinen give me this case?

I'm leaving. - You're the best we have.

Be honest now. - I owed him.

I promised to pay asap. But he needed it now. - Why?

Is that why he died? The money?

Who wanted money from him? - I've never seen them.

Who's them? - I don't know. I...

From Puukko. - Thanks.

I would never have bet on this one.

Maria, you got it all wrong. - The axe had your fingerprints.

Of course, I killed a pike with it. What were you thinking?

Listen, Ina took a picture of it.

Of the pike. For her Instagram. It shows the axe, too.

Can I see the photo?

I can't show you, you took our phones.

Can you come here for a sec?

I'll be back.

Fine. I'll wait...

Pike blood? - It's my inner biologist's call.

The crime tech in me hoped to find human blood, but no luck.

We need to release Antti Sarkela.

What? - You're drunk.

No, I'm not. - I can see you are.

I don't take risks. You know me, Jykä - You have two options.

Breathalyzer and a warning or go back home right now.

Trust me, Jykä.

Sarkela? - Yes.

There you go. And sign here.

Thank you.

I'm sorry we met under these circumstances.

It's fine, you're just doing your job.

It would be nice...

To see in some other circumstances.

Let's get back to that.

I need to go. - Right.

Thank you.

Joel spoke to me of love.

But he never really loved anyone.

He didn't know what he was talking about.

He...

He was afraid of losing control. He didn't dare to love.

What did he want to control? - I don't know.

But he said he wants to leave. And take me with him.

When did you last see Joel?

When he left my room.

I told him he could sleep next to me, nothing else.

He said he was scared.

What was he scared of? - I don't know.

He'd be alive if I had listened to him!

The time stamps back up the stories.

Why would you take a pic of some fish? - Well...

We have nothing. We have to let them go.

Take Joel's bank accounts, work and phone records. - Yes.

Koivu, traffic cams from Nuottaniemi and the area.

Ask the boat police about marine traffic.

Keep digging into Tuulia. Find out about her employment.

Did we release them all? - Tuulia and Samu are still here.

And Joel's family? Have we reached them?

They're sailing, I had to tell them over the phone.

I felt it wasn't a total surprise.

Joel had debts, he asked his parents for money.

Hello?- Interesting results.

Wait, I'll put you on speaker phone.

Hi, it's Kirsti. - Hi there.

A compound not classified yet. A real designer drug.

5-MeO-MIPT. - A lethal amount?

Not alone. But also a lot of downers.

Together, they make for a lethal cocktail.

Okay, thanks.

So it's a murder. Someone planned this carefully.

I'll ask the narcs if the new drug has hit Finland.

Congrats. - Thanks!

What's this? - My own production.

Did you give your gift yet? - We've been a bit busy.

I'm going to charge you for bribing. - Get your law degree first.

What about this MEO-thing? Ring a bell? - Yes.

The customs caught a package from Germany with MEO.

It's originally from Columbia, then Spain and then here.

Originally? - Two weeks ago three kids died of it in Spain.

It's lethal in certain circumstances. Causes strong hallucinations.

How are you investigating the transport circle?

Can we join forces on this? - Absolutely.

We'll tell you if we find something and you won't do the same?

That's how cooperation works. - One-way synergies. Great.

Be careful, they're really hot. - Fine.

Was Joel hallucinating? - And fallen on the rock?

Joel has used his card at Moonlight almost every night. - I see.

Go and ask around. - Tonight?

Or did you have something? - No.

Guess whose defense lawyer Tuulia is? The Speed Bulls boss.

Oh, wow. - Your informant found it out?

The bikers operate in tax evasion, blackmail and drugs.

What did you get? - Let me open this.

Look, chilies.

All right. Birthday beers?

Sorry, got to rest. - Not even a Bloody Mary?

Some other time? - Sure.

Hi there. - Hi.

A whisky, please. - All right.

Thanks.

Maria! Hi. - Hello!

Can I join you? - Sure.

There you go.

Are you a good bowler? - I can do 300 with my eyes closed.

That's great. I'm looking for an old hook-up.

His name is Joel. Do you know him?

You're not the only one looking for him.

Hey, what the hell are you doing?

No! Sorry.

In the gutter again.

Have you seen this guy with brown hair?

Looks like the Swedish actor... - Don't know him.

Move over. - He's in that series, you know.

I don't know any brown-haired guys.

I don't believe you. He's always here.

Joel, that's him.

Why do you want to see him? - What are you, a fucking cop?

Who are you? We haven't met.

I'm Marketta. And really, I'm a good bowler.

Well, have you seen him? - No, I haven't.

If you see him, tell him others are looking for him,

To Joel. One more.

Do you like it as a lawyer? - Well, yes.

Money doesn't make you happy, but it helps.

Where do you work? - I'm interning with child protection

What do you want to specialize in? - Family law.

I see. - Children can't defend themselves.

Do you want kids?

I don't know.

Do you train a lot of cross-fit? - Huh?

Your bag. - Oh, yes.

I wondered if you can already see results.

Come with me sometimes, you'll like it.

You think? - It's great. Almost better than sex.

Oh, wow. - I sad "almost".

I've always liked you.

You are so... I don't know.

We have something in common.

You want to get close to people, too. To see in their souls.

What was it like? - What?

Joel's soul.

I don't know about that, but his dick was absolutely huge.

Morning.

Morning. - Juice. Hangover?

No. I ran into Tuulia last night.

She was having a sex affair with Joel. - I see.

Where did you run into her?

Morning! - Morning.

People missed Joel at Moonlight.

Him and his friend inside, a third man outside.

The atmosphere was tense. They were looking for Joel.

They doing deals there, but I don't know what.

Maybe Joel didn't deliver the goods. - My thoughts exactly.

Anything on the traffic cams or the boat police?

Nothing on both ends. - All right.

Kallio. You have a visitor downstairs.

All right.

Hi. - Hi.

Someone called Joel. He left my room because his phone rang.

What did he say to the caller? - Something about hatred or something

Anything else? - That's all I heard. I went to bed.

Where were the others? - Samuel was still up.

They were arguing or fighting downstairs.

I see. What happened next? - Nothing, I guess.

Samuel went to bed in his room. - And Joel?

I think he went out for a smoke. I heard the door.

Though he vaped... But he went out, I'm sure.

And then maybe the door opened again. Someone went after him.

Is Joel on sedatives? - No. He hated all drugs.

Maria? - Just a sec.

A post office in Espoo Center.

A 20 kg package is coming for Samuel Haataja from Germany.

Have you reached Samuel? - No. The package is still there.

The sender is the same as the ones customs caught.

What's in the packages? - Stuff to make a liquid for e-cigs.

In Finland? - We're still investigating.

We put a tracker on the package. - Thanks.

I didn't pick them up. I haven't' seen these notices.

I find it difficult to believe. - What are they?

What do you think they are?

Dog food? 13 packages? - I don't have a dog.

Tell me what they are.

This address is my address...

But the phone number is Joel's.

What were the dates of the notices?

Aug 12, 31 Aug and then immediately 1 Sep.

Let's go through the phone numbers. Who called him?

Who called him at 2 am the night he died?

I'll look into them.

Someone has taken a huge risk. - Yes.

They sent a lot of stuff, hoping some will get through.

There!

Maria! Check this out.

Can you zoom in?

Doesn't look like Samuel. - No.

Have the other packages been picked up? - Yes.

When was the last pick-up? - Last week.

The one for Samuel is still there. - Yes.

When it's not picked up, a notice is delivered.

And you've got a tracker there? - Yes.

Beaktas.

Yes. Great, thanks.

The package was picked up. Come with me.

See you in the garage.

Keep looking at Joel's phone records and call if you find something.

The package is on 6th floor, it's a business. Let's wait.

Let's wait for backup.

If it moves, Jokke, take left, Kujasalo right and I'll be in the cen

We'll be here.

What the hell? - What's it now?

She's talking to suspect. Wait for a sign.

Antti. Why are you here?

Joel's funeral is on Monday, so I thought...

What are you doing?

Maria? Maria...

Where were you before you came here? - Went to buy that suit.

For the funeral. And then came here to get a haircut.

Who was Joel dealing drugs to?

I don't know. - Do you have keys to Samuel's place?

Samuel? No, I don't.

Joel had his keys. And maybe Tuulia.

They kept in touch a lot. - Why?

They had...

This new friend they all knew. - Who was the friend?

I don't know. I only saw them a couple of times.

Carry on.

Who? - Marketta.

Where did you get my number? - From Joel.

What the fuck? Where is Peltonen?

I have something from Joel to you. Can we meet?

Espoontori, the corner next to the train tracks. 30 mins.

Miikka Mattila called Joel the night he died.

He doesn't know Joel is dead, Joel has a package for him.

Joel and Tuulia have keys to Samuel's place.

They can pick up any package notices Samuel gets.

I'm going to meet Mattila near where you are.

In or out here?

Outside. The corner next to the train tracks.

The package is moving. - Which way?

Downwards.

We're taking the lift near the street. Backup is coming.

Check that out.

Does he have tattoos on his neck?- Yes. On both sides.

On the outside terrace.

Is he armed? - Not that I can see.

Where the fuck is Joel? - I don't know.

Let me go. - No, he's expecting a woman.

We'll buy some seconds with that. - Shut up now!

We're behind the corner?

Miikka Mattila? - And who the fuck are you?

You're under arrest for drug possessi and aiding and abetting a murder.

Hey, let Tuulia go. - What the fuck are you on about?

Joel Peltonen is dead.

You killed him.

Drop that knife! - Police! Drop it!

You whore, you wanted your own cut and killed Joel!

Drop the knife and let Tuulia walk over here.

Stay down! Stay there! - Yeah, yeah.

I came from Fuengirola yesterday. I don't know anything. Don't!

Hey! Calm down!

Let me go! - Hand!

You added sedatives to Joel's drink.

Friends who can't be trusted piss me off.

And you're such a reliable friend.

He used us!

He told me he was leaving the country disappearing.

But he fucking slipped on the rocks.

I won't get a life for this, manslaughter, tops.

I fucking know what I'm doing. - Get her up.

Let's go.

Bye. - Bye.

Koivu wanted to invite you to train with him. - I see.

Have to learn to do breast stroke.

See you tomorrow. - See you.

You found me. - Yes. Hi there.

Have you ever seen Mars?

No.

This is a good time to see it.

Wait.

Look. You will be amazed.

You see that light area? It's the Hellas Plain.

I only see stars.

An amazing number of them.
