Arctic Circle (2018–…): Season 2, Episode 1 - Episode #2.1 - full transcript

You won't fucking believe it!
This was rented by Aava Lahti!

Aava Lahti?
The judo champion?

Married to Toni Kajanne?

The reception said
they're here together.

That's it for this year's Olympics.
Not one medal for Finland.

Have you reached
the victim's husband yet?

We're on it.

Seems like her lips
have been cut off.

Toni...
- Hi.

Have you been here all night?
- Pretty much.

Everything's fine.



Aava...

Your Aava...

It was on the morning news.

What do you want me
to tell the police?

If I help you up,
can you walk on your own?

I'll take her to the other room.

Did you fight over the decoration?

Broadly speaking, yes.

What's your relationship
with violence?

What, are you a shrink?
- No.

I just thought
tha if you like beating up women, -

I'm a much better target.

Or do you prefer
only pregnant women?

Fucking bitch!



Fuck, that hurts!

Calm down!

Fuck...
- Calm down!

Calm down!
- Yes!

Yes, I hit her.
But she bit me in my ears first.

She beats me every day.

This dick attacked me.
- Pumpkin!

I'm sorry I bit you.
Only Mama can hurt you!

The Sandman's closet was always in
grandma's room when we were little.

Is this a good place for it?

I thought it won't block the light.

It's fine.
- We can move it if you want.

It's a tough job.
- No, just put it back.

Mom, a tough job!
- It's fine there, Bunny.

I'm not your Bunny.
I'm a school girl now.

All right.

As soon as I get a rise,
I can move on my own.

I'll take it with me.
- We have plenty of room here.

For the cabinet?

And for you.
- Wow.

You can stay,
you and the cabinet.

If you get me
some nice kitchen curtains.

You have much better eye for it.

Are you serious?
- Yes. It would be a great help.

As the newest cop in the precinct,
I can't choose my shifts.

Think about it.
- Will do that.

Mom's going to sleep now.
Even though it's morning.

Bye.

Bye.
- Sweet dreams.

Have a nice day!

Do you miss our old home?

It's fine to miss it.

This is a better home.
And Marita lives here, too.

I agree.
This is lovely.

Ivan Voinitsky,
the man from the Chekov play!

The man from the holiest
place of his mother.

Greetings from my father.

He says you have the best
hunting dogs in the area.

What do you want?
You already bought all the dogs.

Ordo is forever, -

but its hounds are after
a more deadly prey than usual.

Well, we do have dogs.

They're experienced,
they've seen it all.

Tšotka was with me
when we killed three bears.

Thank you.

Experienced, my ass.

My dearest dogs,
I will never sell you.

I'd rather sell my own soul...
What now, my dearest?

You can't sell your dearest.

You'd just regret it.

Take it easy.

I don't want you
to suffer.

So I'll take the dogs,
free of charge.

22. Moving towards the corner.
- Everything OK?

22. 
Units in position.

All men in position.
- Hey, listen.

Isn't this a bit of an overkill?

You have men on every corner.

Maxim Smith was
Cevikovic's number one man.

Cevikovic ran the Murmansk mafia
for years, so no overkill.

With Cevikovic killed,
Maxim doesn't feel safe anymore.

I'm sure he's got a lot to offer.

A photo would have been nice.

How will I recognize him?
- He has your photo.

He wanted to surrender to someone
high up in the hierarchy.

I'm ready, shall we?
- Let's begin.

All right.

Stenius.

You look older than your picture.

Thanks.

So...
I hear you have something for us.

I do.

I'm gonna need
some assurances first, though.

As you know, we don't have a witness
protection program in Finland.

I don't believe for a second
that is what you came to tell me.

Perhaps we can arrange
something especially for you.

Good.

Let's get you to a secure location.

The target is on the move.

Everyone in position.
- Target is moving inside.

The target on the stairs.

Is the door ready?
Door position, ready.

The target in the lobby now.
- 22.

All right, wait for the car.
- What's going on?

Pull up the car,
open the left side door.

Is the car there yet?
- What are we waiting for?

What's the car situation?

The car is moving.

Coast clear,
move the target.

Do you like your new school?

Yes. Eeva in my class
has a hobbyhorse.

Have you ridden it?
- Yes.

Was it fun?
- Yeah.

Hi!
- Hello.

Can dad get a hug?

So you moved here?
- To a nice studio near the center.

Why is everyone following me here?
- I have nothing in Ivalo.

I want to see Venla grow up.
It's a one-time thing.

Every time we spot a truck
Venla says it's dad's truck.

It's horrible that the child
doesn't recognize her father's truck.

The 12-year-old murder investigation 
of judo champion Aava Lahti -

took a strange turn today.

You better mean business!
Do you understand?

You want to see this.

The prosecutor says the investigation
will likely be opened again.

In the spring of 2008,
all of Finland stopped -

as beloved Aava Lahti
was brutally murdered.

Kajanne's chick.
Your dad used to coach her.

The main suspect, Lahti's husband
and NHL player Toni Kajanne, -

avoided murder charges as he was 
with his ex-fiancé Henna Koski -

at the time of the murder.

Koski is now a religious blogger
and earlier today, she said she lied.

Koski says Kajanne only arrived
after the murder.

Turn it off.
- I want to hear this.

Lahti was a two-time 
European Judo Champion, -

had two silvers from the WC
and a Olympic bronze.

She was considered Finland's
best hope in Beijing 2008.

They may interview your dad.
- Maybe I don't want to see that.

Don't.
- Turn it off.

Kajanne has won the World Cup
and the Stanley Cup of NHL.

We haven't reached Kajanne
for a comment.

Mom and Marita have different dads.
Did you know?

I did.
- But they have the same mother.

Yeah.

A nice studio,
right near the center. Sure.

Fuck you!

I used to be a pro wrestler,
I would have won. - Mind your head.

Finland sucks!
I'm being treated...

I'm a honest tax payer.

Hi there.
- Hi.

Remember Cevikovic?
- Of course.

The victim, Maxim,
was his number one man.

Now his brain
is all over my best coat.

I bet that wasn't nice.
- Nobody wants the Russian mafia -

to get used to casually executing
people on this side of the border.

We want to catch
every last one involved.

We've set up
the Finnish-Russian Police taskforce.

We have official blessing
and jurisdiction in both countries.

Great! Congratulations.
That's what you wanted.

I still want you to take the lead.
- No thanks.

Cevikovic got three Russian
prostitutes killed here last winter.

The only one you managed to save
rambled about a hunting party.

Don't you want to know about it?
- It's not about what I want.

No, it's about what I want.

Venla needs a special school
and my mom is in hospital.

Ivalo just doesn't have
the facilities...

Ever notice these beat cop overalls
always smell the same?

Of vomit and disappointment.
And nothing ever changing.

If you won't take it,
I'll give it to Nikander.

Go ahead, she's a good cop.

All right, calm down!

Calm down!

ROVANIEMI POLICE STATION

Jackpot! We're picking up
Kajanne for interrogation.

Toni Kajanne!

Finally something to tell
my grandkids about.

So he lives here?
- He's from around here.

But with all his hockey millions?

In the local paper,
Kajanne said himself -

the locals are the only ones
who don't think he killed his wife.

His family and old friends.

My finger is getting tired.
- I'll call the locksmith.

Thank you.

Hello?
Anybody home?

The police here.

Toni Kajanne's home!

HENNA KOSKI REVEALS...

This is still warm.
There was fire in it this morning.

Someone left in a hurry.

What are you doing?

It doesn't look like he packed
anything. Not for a longer trip.

Check if Kajanne owns several cars.

There's one in the yard.
Thanks, fine.

This is not a crime scene,
he's just fled.

Was he writing an autobiography?

His World Cup medals
and Stanley Cup rings...

The best Finnish
hockey player of all time.

Don't mention Kurri to me.

You don't believe
he killed his wife?

NHL has a smaller rink than Europe.
What's the smallest rink there is?

Well?
- Marriage.

Everyone was excited when Toni and
Aava got married. A cosmic mistake.

Hockey players should marry
beauty queens, not top athletes.

Of course he killed his wife!
Everyone knows it.

I got divorced at the last minute
before killing my wife.

To think!
He sat right here.

Get up.

Nice, nicer, nicest.

Expensive,
more expensive, most expensive.

Big, bigger, biggest.

Fine, finer, finest.

Notice the superlative ending.

Good evening, Irina.
- Who are you?

Police. We need to talk to you.

I have to work. - I don't know
if you remember me. Sari Nikander.

He's Viktor Zujev. We both work for
the Finnish-Russian Police Taskforce.

It's a new unit under Stenius.
You know Jaakko Stenius.

As you know, some of your colleagues
were killed last winter.

We still have no clue why, but there
has been development, a new murder.

He's looking at me
like I'm already dead.

And he's too well dressed
to be a police. Real police.

Life is not fair.
But I can't make it right for you.

Where is Nina? - You told Nina
you all attended this hunting party.

What was so special about it?

Why is somebody killing people
who were involved?

Was it the identity
of the people or something else?

What did you witness?
- I will only talk to Nina.

Nina is not part of this,
you have to talk to me.

Stenius went to great lengths
to arrange your Finnish citizenship.

I am grateful.
- This is your chance to prove it.

I will only talk to Nina.
At least I know she's a real cop.

We can't arrest Irina
and we can never interrogate her.

Stenius broke a myriad of rules
when arranging her citizenship.

So if she trusts this Nina,
let's ask for her help.

I don't trust Nina.

She's way too reckless.

Well?
- Some results are not in yet.

The bloodwork is in. The drug
Thomas developed is working.

The same as with Venla.
- Right.

So all is well.

It's relative.
I can never have a child...

Well, yeah.

The Yemenite virus was meant to wipe
out the future of an entire people.

You're alive, after all.

Hey...

When is Thomas moving in with us?

I don't know.

He's got a child of his own
and a job in Helsinki.

Let me take a look at these.

So what's your situation?
- Complicated.

The good thing is our escapee
has Finland's best known face.

It's certain that Kajanne
has not left the country.

Detective sergeant Reino Ylikorpi
works in Ivalo now, -

but he was the lead investigator
of Aava Lahti's murder here.

We put together a list of
Kajanne's family and friends.

Let's ask them about
Kajanne's movements.

Let's bear in mind they might
have helped Kajanne escape -

or are hiding him.
Any questions?

You are dismissed.

Well, hello.
- Hi there.

Long time, no see.

Well... How are you now?

I'm okay.
Mom doesn't have long now.

I'm on my way to see her now.
- Thank you. She'll like that.

And now this case,
popping up again.

What case?
- This case with Aava.

She was your father's protege
and he coached her for years.

I have never even seen the man.

Your mom told me you used to follow
Aava's career closely as a girl.

My mom told you
about my youth.

Don't believe her, really.

It was nice to see you.

Kautsalo.
- Hi, it's Irina.

Do you remember me?
- Irina! How are you?

So nice to hear from you.
- What are you doing?

Those our interviewees.
- She's dead. Last spring.

Sorry.
- You said I could call.

Yeah? - Two police officers
came to see me here.

The other one was a Russian.

Was the other one maybe Nikander?
You remember her?

She said you're not working
this case any more.

No, I'm not, sorry.

Irina?

After they left, I think
somebody has been following me.

Maybe someone followed them.

Okay. Have you seen something
or has something happened?

I can feel it.
I just... feel it.

Irina, you had the worst experience
last winter. You almost died.

You have a new life now.
Nobody is taking it away from you.

Don't worry.

I need to go.
- Okay.

What the...

Ouch...

Hey, anyone here?

Where...
Hey!

At the edge of Rovaniemi
lives NHL star Toni Kajanne.

One of our most famous athletes
is not at home. He is missing.

Police have been trying to reach him 
for the murder of his wife Lahti -

and the new information they have.

Aava Lahti's murder 12 years ago -

is one of Finland's 
most famous cold cases.

I saw your father...
The night that happened.

When they had the horrible fire -

and the judo girl was killed.

I saw him here.
- Who did you see?

Aava?
- Your father. Here.

In Saariselkä.
Here at the hotel.

I was...

There was a big ball here.

Mom, dearest,
we're in Rovaniemi now. Remember?

What are you talking about?

I want to sleep now.

Mom?
Mom...

Thank you.
- Finnish language.

So kuusi palaa
in Finnish means -

six pieces of something,
anything, in English.

But it also means that
Christmas tree is on fire.

Yes, it's a strange language.

And kuusi palaa also could mean
that Christmas tree is coming back!

I mean, how does that make any sense?
Coming back from where?

And you're forgetting something...

I don't forget the first time
I saw you...

The Finnis word kuusi
can also mean 'your moon' in English.

Damn! Your moon...
That's poetry.

So kuusi palaa can also mean
that your moon is on fire.

Or that your moon is coming back.
- Wish I was a fast learner like you.

What's wrong?
- I need to go.

Are you going home?
- I'm sorry! - I can take you.

Maybe we should go already.
- Venla, what do you think?

Let's wait a moment.
- Just a bit.

We're going to be late.

Finally!
- Hey!

The horse show

Horse show, right.
Bigger towns have everything.

We were beginning to think
you won't make it.

You can go ahead without me.
- That's outrageous.

I know, honey.
Mom needs to find something.

We can manage on our own,
right, little colt?

We'll send pics to mommy colt.
- That's good.

Go now!
- Let's gallop.

Canter!
- Have fun.

Bye!

Fuck...

TONI DID IT!
HAT TRICK

Hey, Irina.
- Hi.

I want to tell you
about those hunting parties.

Irina, you really should talk
to Nikander about this.

No, I want to talk to you.

I will tell you about
Ordo Paritet.

Ordo what?
What is it?

What... Where are you now?

In the train.
I'll be in Rovaniemi in the morning.

Okay. I will come
and pick you up in the morning.

Irina... It's okay. Go to sleep
and we'll see you in the morning.

Okay. Thank you, Nina.

See you in the morning.
- Bye.

Where am I?
What is this place?

Huh?

Who are you?

You hear me?
Who are you?

Avtograf.

You speak English?
- Avtograf.

You want my autograph?
- Yeah, avtograf.

I won't sign any fucking autographs.
Tell me what's going on here.

Okay.
- Okay what?

Okay, autograph later.
- What?

Hey, come back here.
Come back here! Hey!

You little fuck!
Hey!

Fuckface!

Polina!

The Cevikovic mess is sorted out.

Problem solved.

Something wrong?
Why do you look so sour?

It's not very professional
to leave things to the last minute.

That will leave tracks.

On the other hand,
when you do it at the last minute, -

it's imperative
to hire the best talent.

Let's concentrate on the guest
who will arrive soon.

Father.

Gold...

Gold is too soft a metal -

to make into
anything usable.

Our forefathers were only fascinated
by gold as it doesn't rust.

Now, gold is starting to rust.

And the humanity is rusting as well,
they've learned to forge it too well.

Now, gold reminds me
of one thing only.

Of what?

Of all these changes
going on here.

Never mind.

Cognac and wine
are a different thing.

But the hunter's shot
has to be the best drink.

It's very important.

Polina.

It was Polina, right?

Polina, you get to choose.

Are you serious, sir?

No.

Actually, I want to know
if it's clear to you, -

that you work for me,
not for my son.

It's absolutely clear.

Fedja has the bad habit of choosing
his help among bottom feeders.

Your predecessor Cevikovic
was not even Russian.

He was mixed up in prostitution,
murders and God knows what else.

What's taking her so long?

My school will start soon.

Mom has to go check
what's keeping Irina.

Wait here, don't go anywhere.
- What if the train leaves?

This is the end station.
- But if it leaves anyway?

It won't leave, Bunny.

I'm not your Bunny.

Stay here, honey.

Irina?

Hello?

Irina?

Mom?

Mom?

Venla!

Venla!

It's okay.
It's fine.

Hi there.
- Hi.

Hi there.
- Venla, this is mom's colleague.

Home?
- Yes, my sister is there.

Bye!
Thanks, Timo.

...according to the report.

Excuse me, I need to take this.
This was it, thank you everyone.

Someone lose their cat?
Library card? I have a real job.

I want in.
- Where?

The Finnish-Russian task force.
I want in.

Has something happened?

Let me guess:
It wasn't nice?
