Karppi (2018) s01e09 Episode Script

Benefactor

- Morning.
- Hi.
Who was this man, Antti Veikkamo? A researcher at VTT Technical Research Center.
He studied a material developed by Tempo.
Alex called 112? - Where is he? - At home.
- Who the hell let him go? - They did because he made the call.
How long did he hang there? Rigor mortis had started to dissipate, so at least 12 hours.
I went to his house to meet him.
Why on Sunday? Why his home? Because he wouldn't answer my calls.
When was the last time you saw him? Friday, after the City Council meeting.
He claimed that wind turbine blades made of VCON-4 weren't durable enough.
- Bad news for you, huh? - Very.
Their test results were completely different from ours.
- How is that possible? - Their results were manipulated.
- Who would do that? - Plenty of people.
Louhivuori, for example, was opposed to the project from the beginning and tried to convince the other members to vote against it.
Were you in touch with Veikkamo after Friday? We'll find out your whole call history anyway.
- Yesterday.
- What did you talk about? The same thing.
I told him their test results were bullshit and that I needed to find out who was responsible.
- Did you threaten him? - No, I didn't.
- Then what? - Nothing.
He hung up.
- Were you in touch after that? - No.
After the Tempo party on Saturday, you ended up at Villa Tranquila and came home Monday.
You didn't tell us or your wife.
I didn't want to tell my wife I was pissed off because my mistress left me.
Anna broke up with you at the party? And you still suspect me? After I graduated university, I traveled around the world.
Partly because I was stupid and wanted to protest after our dad appointed Julia as the CEO.
Partly because I was curious.
I ended up in Asia.
I saw what overpopulation really looks like.
We like to think things are well here in Finland.
That's bullshit.
If everyone on this planet consumed as much, â€" we'd need three planets.
Tempo is a construction company, and I figured â€" it's an industry where I could try to find solutions.
I came back to Finland, and to my surprise, Julia hired me.
She bought my idea that we have to come up with new solutions when it comes to energy and energy consumption.
And not wait for someone else to take responsibility.
As naive as this may sound, we at Tempo want to help save the world.
That's why it feels so absurd that you'd think I could take someone's life.
Let alone the life of a person I love.
It's great all of you could make it.
Let's start.
JP? I think it's a clear case.
Veikkamo hanged himself.
No signs of violence, of being tied up or anything.
His blood alcohol level matched the whisky bottle on the table.
You can force a person to hang himself.
Sure.
But what would be the motive? That's a severe accusation against a VTT researcher.
Why would he want to kill himself? Why not? A lonely guy.
No women, no friends.
Finland loses at crossâ€"country skiing.
Life sucks.
That's all it takes for a Finn to kill himself.
I think it's possible that this had to do with Anna's death.
Right.
Anna and Veikkamo both had a connection to the Tuulivuorenranta project.
Can you explain? Not yet.
So it's just a wild guess for now.
I suggest that we investigate the cases together.
- I totally agree.
- Who asked you? Come here and I'll punch you.
We'll keep these cases separate for now.
Yeah.
Is there really anything to investigate in Veikkamo's case? JP's team could look into it carefully, as part of the murder investigation.
- As your sidekick cop? - If that's how you see it.
We have enough open cases we're working on.
I understand.
The National Bureau of Investigation still wants to talk to you.
PROMISING SWIMMER ANNA JYLHÄ: I FORGET EVERYTHING IN WATER JYLHÄ BREAKS ANOTHER NATIONAL RECORD Laura: Where are you? Someone wants you.
- Caffé corretto without alcohol.
- Thanks.
Listen to this.
"EPO hormone found in swimming team locker room.
The team members tested negative.
Anna Jylhä's samples were clean.
" Come take a look.
Janne Kiiski sold hormones.
- Hi.
- Hi.
I'm glad you could make it on such short notice.
You better have a good reason.
Where's Alex? Recent events have taken a toll on Alex.
I wanted to see you once without him.
As we know, Tempo has invested most of its assets in VCON-4 and the Tuulivuorenranta project.
We've taken a huge risk by putting all our eggs in one basket.
And now we just found out that VCON-4 is crap.
It's possible the City Council won't grant us the construction permit.
We should've had a plan B.
Why can't we build a residential area without wind power? The requirement for the construction permit is that we offer new energy solutions.
If our plan isn't solid, the city will release a new tender and start the process all over again.
You're right.
But we've signed contracts with subcontractors, right? We'll have to pay them, even if we don't build a single shack there.
Goddammit! I warned you about this.
WeltKraft sent us an offer to purchase Tempo.
Do they know that VCON-4 failed the tests? Yes, they do.
And they're trying to buy Tempo cheap? The offer is very good, actually.
We have to decide whether we accept or whether we trust that the City Council will grant us the permit.
If the offer is good, we should accept it, right? Yes.
What about the employees? The headquarters in Finland? Those questions are open at this stage.
- What does Alex think? - He'll oppose the offer fervently.
- You want to sell Tempo? - No.
This is a family company.
I always thought we'd continue our grandfather's and father's work.
But it looks like selling is the only way to guarantee the company's survival.
I ain't talking to you.
Take me away.
You're going to talk.
You can't keep me here against my will.
Actually we can.
Sit down.
- Sit! - You didn't help me! You'd be six feet under if I hadn't convinced you to come down from the crane.
Now sit.
What did you blackmail Anna Bergdahl with? You hear me? What did you blackmail her with? Karppi.
Answer me! Were you blackmailing her? Karppi.
I'm sure you miss your son.
If you can get me a better cell and better food, I might remember something.
You can have a one-evening leave.
You can't grant me that.
What if I can? This is some kind of plot.
I don't want a leave.
You don't? - No.
- Well, I can't force you to.
But there comes a day when you can't stay here.
Then you'll have to leave.
For you, prison is probably the worse option.
Let's pretend you found out something about Anna's past and asked her for money to keep it secret.
Let's pretend that Anna met with her partner in crime to sort the thing out and the partner wanted to get rid of Anna for good.
The only one who knew what was going on is you.
You're the next on the list.
There's another option.
Let's pretend you help us.
We find the murderer, and you have nothing to be afraid of.
You just came up with all that.
Bergdahl's death - There's no connection.
- No? - No.
- Think carefully.
I'll ask you once more.
Were you blackmailing Anna? What was the secret you blackmailed her with? When I was in prison a couple of years ago, I talked about social welfare office stuff with inmates who were doing time for dealing steroids.
I told this guy that Bergdahl was going to get me an apartment.
The guy started laughing and said that Bergdahl had smuggled EPO.
- Anna? - Yeah.
When she was on the swimming team? You told Anna you knew? What did she say? Nothing.
What did you get? Not a fucking thing.
That's why you caused a scene at her house? Because she didn't pay you? You can go.
When Anna was young, she was on social security.
Yet someone made monthly cash deposits into her account.
Someone was paying her.
The question is, did the 100,000 euros in her account come from the same person? We're this close to our goal, and you're pushing us into WeltKraft's arms.
We don't have a construction permit.
We might never get one.
We have employees, and they have families and mortgages! If Tempo crashes, you can find a good job at another company.
- What'll these people do? - That's not our problem.
I disagree.
Why do you think WeltKraft wants to buy us? They believe in your plan.
They want to make it happen.
But why now? Think.
If the City Council says no, we'll never be able to sell Tempo.
This company will crash.
VCON-4 works the way it's supposed to.
Veikkamo hanged himself after I told him that I knew he forged the test results.
- You threatened him? Do the police know? - No.
Of course I threatened him.
He killed himself because he was afraid he'd get caught.
- Someone is responsible for all this! - Okay! So someone did try to sabotage us.
We know your idea is brilliant.
We've worked years for it.
It looks like the City Council will vote against our project.
We have to accept the offer and sell the company.
- We still have supporters.
- No, we don't.
Most of them are now behind Louhivuori.
How far is he ready to go? â€" He's a politician.
He thinks about the next election.
WeltKraft knows the value of our concept.
- They're trying to buy it cheap.
- The offer is actually very good.
- Why would they sabotage us? - How should I know? I won't let this company crash.
Someone has to be a realist here.
Stop.
- What the fuck have you done? - Alex! You should take better care of your wife.
I don't want to see you here again.
- Alex - You understand? Never.
Taina Savila was the head coach for the women's national team 1996-2002.
7373 Savila.
Sofia Karppi, Helsinki Police Department.
- Sorry for calling this late.
- Yes? You coached the women's national swimming team in the late 90s? Yes.
I'm investigating the murder of Anna Bergdahl.
Maiden name Jylhä.
Was she on the team then? Hello? I didn't know she died.
- Was she on the team? - Yes, for some time.
A bagful of EPO was found in your locker room.
Did Anna have something to do with the bag? I don't know.
Do you know who would know? Tero Jyrkänkoski.
He worked as a manager then.
- Can you give me his name again.
- Jyrkänkoski.
We fired him immediately when we found out what he was doing.
Could Anna have had something to do with it? I don't want to discuss this any further.
- I'd just like to know - Bye.
Shit.
FRIENDS OF THE BALTIC COUNTRIES WANT TO VOLUNTEER AT OUR CHARITY? FRIENDS OF THE BALTIC COUNTRIES Hi, how may I help you? - Tero Jyrkänkoski? - That's me.
Sofia Karppi and Sakari Nurmi, Helsinki Police Department.
Okay.
We're investigating the murder of Anna Bergdahl, née Jylhä.
When was the last time you saw her? It must've been 20 years ago when she was on the swimming team.
- Not after that? - No.
A terrible thing.
I heard about it.
I had a bit of a crush on her, but it didn't work out.
You run a charity here, right? Yeah, it's grown a bit It started with an orthodox nun who collected donations for people in the Baltic countries.
The guys and I realized we all have way too many toys at home.
You have kids? When your kids grow, you want to get rid of the toys.
We organized everything, and now we're able to send a van full of donations four times a year.
- Where do you get your financing? - Donations.
I'm the only full-time employee.
Is this a toy or a backpack? Anna smuggled hormones when she swam competitively and also after that.
You were involved.
Yes, 20 years ago.
You introduced her to a way of making money.
Two young people did a stupid thing.
That's it.
- Did it go on a long time? - Maybe a year.
Then we both started studying and quit.
And you haven't seen her since? Like I said, I haven't seen her since she was on the team.
Okay.
Thanks.
- Who were they? - Huh? Who were they? Some couple who wanted to donate stuff.
- I'm serious.
- "I'm serious.
" They were Jehovah's Witnesses.
All that stuff needs to be packed today.
Chop chop.
Fucking moron.
There's 100,00 euros in Anna's account.
The last time Anna got money from a suspicious source was when she got money from Jyrkänkoski.
In the 90s.
You think Anna continued smuggling hormones? Or started doing it again.
While working at the social welfare office? She already lived a double life when she was young.
We need to think this through carefully.
Alex's alibi is still not that solid.
It'd be easy to go to Helsinki and then back to the clinic.
Then we have to look into Usko.
He's had it too easy so far.
Had it too easy? I didn't mean it like that.
We finally found out something new about Anna.
Why are you so obsessed with her husband? You know what I think.
We should look into the people who were in Anna's life recently, and not 20 years ago.
And we have to look into Usko.
The fact is that when a woman is murdered, her partner is the most likely suspect.
Talk to me.
Get all possible info on Jyrkänkoski.
- Got it.
- Thanks.
- So this is wild boar? - Yes, this is it.
I'm sure you've heard about our cooperation with WeltKraft.
What is it that your wife does? - What's her name Leanna.
- Linda.
- She's an actress.
- Actress? Well, they also have to know how to do all kinds of things.
Yes.
Do you know a City Council member named Erkki Louhivuori? He's not a big fan of our project.
Alex, let's eat first.
I always thought you were more like me than Kristian.
To your father's memory.
Peltola didn't find anything on Jyrkänkoski.
- Not even a parking ticket.
- Okay.
- What's for dinner? - Spaghetti.
- No! - That's all I have.
- Yeah, hello? - Let's talk about this tomorrow.
There's something here.
Anna's 100,000 euros, her smuggling past.
And Jyrkänkoski.
Let's go check out his charity again tomorrow.
Let's talk about this tomorrow.
Okay, bye.
You didn't answer my messages.
I've been busy.
- Hi.
- Hi.
I heard about your problems.
Your peculiar wind turbines don't last as long as they should.
We don't have problems.
They do last.
Someone is forging the test results.
And now the person who conducted the tests is dead.
- By coincidence? - I doubt it.
He hanged himself.
Really? The City Council probably won't grant you a construction permit.
I'm sure Louhivuori is trying to sabotage our project.
If your project is good enough, no one will be able to sabotage it.
If it isn't, it might be good that it doesn't materialize.
Do you have anything on him that I can use to get him to talk? A company goes where it'll make the most profit the quickest.
Have you ever wondered where our money came from? How did your grandfather get money to found Tempo? If Rudolf Hoikkala hadn't sold guns to Germany in World War II, someone else would've.
Your father was embarrassed of Rudolf.
But he had no problems accepting his money.
That's why you were fighting? Over money? Goddammit, two brothers stop talking to each other for good.
Because of money.
Was it worth it? Well You know your father.
He was damn stubborn.
And if I remember correctly, you didn't always get along with him, either.
- I guess we're done.
- Alex.
Louhivuori hasn't sabotaged your project.
How do you know? He's an exceptionally honest politician.
Exceptionally honest? - How sure are you of that? - A hundred percent.
It's me.
Louhivuori is totally honest.
If he didn't pay Veikkamo for forged test results, then what the hell is going on? I can't sleep.
Just put your head on the pillow, and you'll fall asleep.
- No, I won't.
- Well, then you can just rest.
Go back to bed now.
Mom, I want water! Mom, I want water! Henna, can you get Emil a glass of water? She won't bring it to me.
I'm dying of thirst.
Henna.
Water! Henna, please answer when I talk to you.
Go away.
I need you to help.
I'm really busy with work.
I know your life would be a lot easier if I didn't exist.
My life would be easier without these arguments.
- I know what you did.
- What? I know what you did.
Did what? When? I don't know how you can live with yourself.
- I haven't done anything.
- Bullshit! I heard you arguing.
Dad wanted to stay in Germany for another year, but you insisted we come back.
I did.
And you had a massive argument, and he went jogging angry.
Usually he'd wear a reflective vest, but that time he didn't because he was so angry.
And he got hit by a car and died.
It's your fault because you're a selfish, shitty person.
How can you live with yourself? It was an accident.
It wasn't my fault in any way.
If you hadn't argued, Dad would still be alive.
Henna.
I hate you.
You can't blame me for what happened.
You're not the only one who lost someone.
I did too.
And Emil.
You seemed to have moved on pretty fucking smoothly! You think my life is easy? I have to try to keep myself together every day.
Try to understand that we share that loss.
You and I share nothing.
Go away.
I don't want to see you crying.
I'll go for a walk.
Good.
Yeah.
Okay.
It's windy out there.
I hope the hovercraft doesn't tip over.
Skinny, get your ass over here.
It'll be here in 15 minutes.
Bring the hand truck.
Okay.
Are we gonna load it at the door? Hey.
She was here earlier today! Stop! What the hell are you doing here? Stop.
Get her a chair.
She's a cop.
A cop? For fuck's sake.
You talked to a cop? Where's your partner? Answer me! What the fuck is going on? Are you bullshitting me? She's alone.
Her partner would've showed up already.
Put the gun down.
- We can't kill a cop.
- Shut up.
- I'll go.
- You're not going anywhere.
- Stop waving your gun around.
- You're not going anywhere.
Police! Get on the ground! Police! Dead! Dead! Clear! Karppi.
Everything's okay.
Everything's fine.
They were waiting for a boat full of hormones from Estonia.
What were you doing here? I'm investigating the murder of Anna Bergdahl.
Alone? Didn't Anna have something to do with them? No.
