"In the army, they said: "Kornostayev you have the look of a killer."" "I thought I looked pleasant and nice." "LOOK OF A KILLER" "MAN FROM ACROSS THE BORDER" "Episode 1" "What do we do with him?" "Get rid of him." "Any problems?" " Not between us gentlemen." "Had some tea and agreed on things." " Nobody tells Oksana the truth." "Just lies." " Luckily you're honest." "Somebody has to be." "I'm so proud you're sticking to your no-candy diet." "You've got a client." "Has been waiting for an hour." "Who's that?" " Larsson." "Arne Larsson." "Sirje?" "Estonian." "We met in Estonia." "I've always been interested in Panfennic ideals." "She's quite a lot younger than you." " So what?" "Maybe she found someone else?" " No!" "We're very happy." "She just disappeared." " When?" "Three weeks ago." "On the 16th." " How did it happen?" "I was at the shop all day." "I have a second-hand bookstore." "Sirje was not at home when I got back." "She hadn't taken anything with her." "That was so strange." " What did you do?" "I called Sirje's parents in Estonia." "They didn't know anything about it." "And the police couldn't find any traces of her." "Not at hotels, border crossings, ships, airport..." "Here are all her basic facts." "Why did you choose me?" "You have extensive contacts - among the immigrants from the ex-Soviet Union." "And you get things done." "Well see what we can find out." " Fine." "Goodbye." " Goodbye." "The mobile phone number of Sirje Larsson is there." "Call Igor Pervuhin at Sonera and ask him - if any calls have been made on the 16th or after it." "Igor won't do that." " Igor owes me one." "What will the police say?" " Nothing, they won't find out." "Vitjuha, what's with you!" "Valle, fucking hell!" "What are you doing in Helsinki?" "200,000 euros." "The door was open." "They took everything:" "Vodka, moonshine and cigarettes." "Was it yours and Ryshkov's?" " Yes, 50/50." "We heard it's the Estonians." " Who?" "Jaak Lillepuu." "What do you need me for?" "There was a typo on the stolen cigarettes." ""Selected fine tobaco"." "One C." "My nephew wrote it." "Gimme a beer." "Did you hear about those fuckers?" "200,000 euros' worth." "If Lillepuu is behind this, he won't live long." "Jura Koslov was on watch." "Now he's disappeared." "Maybe Jura sold you out." " Not Jura!" "He's a good boy." "They were Estonians!" "Where are all the waitresses?" "Come with us, let's get wasted." "Not today." "I've got work to do." "Didn't they teach Kärppä not to play with guns?" "What the fuck are you doing here?" " I had to pee and get a drink." "Do you the names of Kebab's sons?" " Fuck this guy!" "Iskender, Döner and With Rice." "You should know." "Ali Baba has a place downstairs." "He's liberal with the salt." "The first time anybody breaks in here, and it's a police officer." "You should be grateful, Kärppä." "Instead of a bandit Chechnyan - your break-in was done by civilized cosmopolite T. Korhonen." "Thanks for not breaking the hinges." "I always use the equipment of masters." "Was there anything else?" "I need to sleep." "Beauty sleep doesn't help you." "I'm jealous of you, pretty boy." " Don't start with me, I'm on duty." "I have a question." " About what?" "About a murder." "Do you know Jura Koslov?" "No." " So Kärppä doesn't remember the youth from the horse farm?" "He was in Ryshkov's and Karpov's skiing team with you." "Now, he doesn't need his skis." "Found him in a parking lot in pieces, fit into the trunk of a Primera." "That's why I hate Japanese cars." "You're such a simple guy, your favorite actor is Also Starring." "Let me guess:" "Your friends Ryshkov and Karpov started fighting." "Poor Jura stumbled upon it and got killed." "Yes, no, don't know?" " No." "Fuck you, Kärppä the Karelian." "We can do this in the precinct." "We can sing Stenka Rasin on the way - so the neighbors hear that the Russki was arrested." "Do you want coffee?" "Jura was working for Karpov." "Guarding the warehouse." "The stuff was stolen, Jura disappeared." "Ryshkov has nothing to do with this." "Confidentially." "You play with whores and thieves and talk about confidentiality." "What stuff was stolen?" " I don't know." "Let me guess." "Wooden horses carved by the Sortavala Blind's Association." "Let's pretend I will believe you." "Why are you sniffing around Lillepuu?" "The Estonian mafioso." "Are you switching sides?" "Where did you hear this?" " Well, think about it." "What do you want?" " Company." "Ask the girls directly." " I want your company." "Let's go for a smoke in the back." " I don't smoke." "Neither do I. Look at a photo and I'll pay 20." "Of course I know Sirje." "All the Estonians in Helsinki know her." "Tell me more." " Sirje is Jaak Lillepuu's sister." "Stay away from her if you don't want trouble." "Your wife disappears, her brother is Estonia's best-known criminal." "And you don't mention this?" "Sirje and Jaak haven't seen each other in 10 years." "Nobody in the family keeps in touch with him." "Did Sirje have friends?" "Not here." "She often visited her parents in Tallinn, every few weeks." "Then you don't mind if I pop over to Tallinn to talk to them?" "Of course not." "Getting a big load?" " Yes, but not for myself." "Are you dealing?" " No." "We have a student party." "My friend was supposed to get the booze, - but her father died so I said I'd do it." "I'm sorry to hear that." "Viktor Kärppä." " Marja Takala." "Nothing." "We've heard nothing from Sirje." "Does Sirje have friends here who would hide her?" "Why would she hide?" "Maybe she has problems she can't share with you..." "There's nothing like that." "She tells us everything." "Also about her marriage?" " Yes." "Do you think Sirje is happy with Larsson?" "Yes they are." "Now." " What do you mean "now"?" "Maybe you know that Larsson was married when they met." "Larsson's wife..." " Helena." "The divorce was difficult, but now everything is fine." "Very well." "Sirje also has a brother." "Could she have contacted Jaak?" "Nobody in our family has anything to do with that criminal." "Thank you." "Let's follow that taxi." "Hey, you!" " Yes, me." "Listen..." "Why the fuck are you so interested in Sirje?" "What's it to you?" "You're putting your nose in wrong places, asking questions." "Don't butt into their people's business." "Leave my parents out of this." "Don't bother old people, they've got enough worries." "Do you need help?" " Yes, thanks." "Where are you headed?" " To Ruoholahti." "I can give you a lift." " Are you going there, too?" "Nope." "Thank you so much for your help." " You're welcome." "If you forgot something, call me." "Representative?" "Who do you represent?" "Small people and their big questions." "This is our party." "Come, if you want to." "Thank you." "There are two flats, the same size." "The second one is upstairs." "One bedroom, kitchen, bathroom." "You should know what you own." "Two of them?" " Yes." "I had a bit of cash." "And the company is called Nordic Fox, if someone asks." "This fell out of Jaak Lillepuu's pocket." "Tobaco with one C." "If you don't want to be involved in this - then wait outside." "Are you sure it was Lillepuu's guy at Larsson's house?" " Yes." "If Lillepuu's man is watching someone, don't butt in." "Forget about it." "Whose side are you on?" "On my side." "Tea." "Is the shirt OK?" "Yes, thank you." "I thought: "Viktor is not a white man, but steel blue."" "Igor Pervuhin called." " And?" "No calls have been made on Sirje Larsson's cell phone - after her disappearance." " Okay." "You're wearing a neckertie?" " Necktie." "That's what I said." "You're meeting a woman." "You can leave for today." "It's good if you have a woman." "You're not so cranky." "All right, goodbye." "Neckertie..." "Necktie." "Well..." "What's up, Russki?" "Just fine." "President Koivisto was mistaken to let all the Ingrians back to Finland." "Everybody loses." "Finland gets nothing but trouble - and all the smart ones leave Karelia behind." "Did you do the army there?" " Yes." "Is it true that they fuck and bully everyone who's not Russian?" "Yes, I was in the army there." "About two years." "The rest was in the university." "Students can be exempted or taken into special training." "I did." " Special training?" "Well, what did you do?" "Played the balalaika in the Army band?" "Beat it now." " Can't you take sarcasm?" "Depressed, staring into the distance." "Fucking Russian!" "What are you doing?" "I will put you down and you will laugh." "Do you always handle things like that?" "No." "Not at all." "But your friends are surprised that a Russian is not a janitor." "Wait!" "Viktor!" "Do you want to prove how tough you are?" "If that's how you see it, fine." " I'm an educated Finnish woman." "That doesn't appeal to me." "Then why are you here?" "Go hit on a librarian up there." "Why did you invite me?" " To be polite." "You helped me." "They had bad food." "Let's go have dinner." "I'll let you pay for yourself, if that's what you want." "Sortavala, you said?" " My mother still lives there." "Do you have any siblings?" "A brother." "Aleksei." "An engineer in Moscow." "Are you more Russian or Finnish?" "Nope." " What do you mean "No"?" "I'm in between." "A Finn in Russia, a Russian in Finland." "Well, well, what do I spy!" "Kärppä, how come you've got a geisha like this?" "This is Korhonen." "We play in the same oldies' team." "Marja Takala." " Viktor here plays floorball." "High stakes and great hunting." "You better have a good reason." "Lillepuu stole your friend's smokes and killed Koslov." "A whore had seen Lillepuu's boys packing Koslov into a bag." "But she doesn't want to testify." "Can we do this tomorrow?" " I went to see Lillepuu." "I told him I know everything - and he laughed and asked for the evidence." "He laughed at me." " You're a great comedian!" "But now, hey, this is good." "The next time I see your mimosa, " "I will probably catch her under Russian occupation." "That's just so funny." "So Korhonen is a cop?" " Yes." "Are you his informer or something?" "It's complicated." "The information flows both ways." "Viki, listen..." " Viki?" "Can I call you Viki?" " Viki..." "It's difficult to tell if you're fish or fowl." "Don't you know that a weasel is a mammal?" "What is it?" "Here are my keys." "Helsinginkuja 4 E." "I'll be there in an hour." "Go!" "Hello, can I get a cab?" "I'll call back soon." "Get rid of your boys." "Wait for me at the gas station." "I'm worried about your health." " That's nice." "Forget about Sirje and you'll live longer." "My family lives long." "You only trust genes?" "Anything else?" " No, did you have something?" "Marja?" "Thank you." "Viktor Nikolayevich, do you like Rimskv-Korsakov?" "When I go outside, follow me." "My name is Malkin, I'm from the Russian Embassy" "Fuck you!" "If you've forgotten Russian, we'll speak Finnish." "I bet you have missed us." "The mission is very simple:" "Old archives from Karelian villages are located in Mikkeli." "And I should get them for you?" " No, take microfilms back there." "They contain a lot of dead souls." "With our help, they will be reborn." "I'm not a member of the Special Unit." "You will always belong to Mother Russia." "Of course we will use a man - whose file says:" "A man who has the look of a killer." "But I don't..." " Viktor Nikolayevich." "What if the Finnish authorities find out - that you're a mafia lackey who's been in prison?" "All kinds of information can be forged." "Inside the paper." "And the girl in Tallinn..." "Nobody saw it." "Watch where you're going." "Hi!" "Thanks from Kiuru for getting his money back." "Great." "Larsson hasn't paid his invoice." " I'll go talk to him." "Remember the inherent penalty." " Penalty interest." "That's what I said." " Can you go to the store?" "Yes?" " Get some cream donuts with coffee." "We have a whole cake in my desk." "On my desk." "I see." "Again, something is not for Oksana's eyes." "The fox returned to his lair." "Now!" "I'd like to report a corpse." "Westendinkuja 14." "Jaak Lillepuu's residence." "Hi there." " Hi." "I'm returning these." " How did you think I'd get in?" "I thought a special unit guy will get in anywhere." "Come in." "Those guys yesterday..." "It was a misunderstanding." "I'm not stupid." "You can tell me the truth." "I'm looking for a woman who disappeared." "Sirje." "The guy in Hakaniemi is her brother." "He doesn't like me looking for her." "Usually you can tell what a man is going to do or say next." "But with you, I can't tell." "And you want to find out." "Rigonda Bolshoi!" "My grandfather had one." "17 radio valves with walnut veneer." "Not available any more." "Why have you decorated your home..." " In Soviet style?" "Yes." "As a child, my dream was that my mother would teach in Leningrad." "We'd have everything they showed on TV." "The ideal home from the land of Soviets." "Now I have it." "You miss things that were important as a child." "One thing I don't miss is being a member of the Komsomol." "On my terms." "And only as long as I want." "Later, I realized what the officers meant." "Many people freeze or panic when in trouble - and their face shows it." "Mine doesn't. *"
