"Okay, we'll get rid of her." "Don't do anything." "I can't afford to get involved in anything illegal..." " Calm down." "Hexa was killed." "Someone butchered my dog." "That's awful." "Who could it be?" "Well, I do have my enemies." "From several decades." "But this was done by a professional." "I liked those boots." "Where did these come from?" " I wish I knew." "The guy wants a million." "Look at the dock." "From that dock you can sail anywhere." "You mean escape?" "You're weeding?" "Henrik." " Oh, the old man remembers me." "I guess a couple of brain cells survived the poison." "Of course I remember my son." " I'm not your son." "You look different." "What happened to your face?" "This is Tristan Leopoldo da Cunha's face." "Henrik doesn't exist anymore." "You killed him, too." "Come." "Come..." "Hi girls!" "How's it going?" "I told you stop spying on us." "What?" "I want to have fun with you." "Go fuck yourself!" "If it helps, I can apologize." "Alcoholism is a devilish disease." "No use begging for pity." "You tortured Mother slowly to death." "She died of shame and desperation." "You punched her a couple of times." "You beat me all the time." "C'mon, girls." "At least give me a blowjob." "Get out or we'll tell Metto." "Get the hell out!" "We're working." " Working?" "What kind of work is that?" "Henrik." "I didn't know you were in love with Teresa." "I realized it only after she disappeared." "And then you left..." "Dig." "Let's go inside." " No, we'll stay outside and talk." "You son of a bitch!" "What are you doing here?" "Go home." "And don't say a word to your mother." "Or I'll strangle you with my own two hands." "That's enough!" "Metto has to get rid of him." " Let's tell him." "Dig." "I had to start all over again." "MPAnne Airismaa was a tough nut to crack." "I knew where to find her- since she'd told everything about her life - to women's magazines." "I understood why she hadn't gone to the police." "Prostitution labels a woman for life, - and the elections were coming up." "Hi!" "You remember me?" "Jussi Vares." "We met at the café." "Sorry, got to finish my run." "Stop for a second, so we can talk." "Did Sirkku send you?" " No." "We're not even talking anymore." "Why don't you get a new assistant?" "Okay, I understand." "Sirkku is blackmailing you about her sister." "Stop." "I'm harmless." "Easy." " You know Aino was Sirkku's little sister?" "I know other stuff, too." "What does Sirkku want?" "She wants to be my campaign manager." "She's blackmailing me." "I've gotten threats." " Okay." "One more thing." "Does Metto run the prostitution ring?" "She's a woman on the edge of a nervous breakdown." "Vares is right." "You can't blackmail a woman." "It's a man's honor." "Leave Anne alone." "Si, si." "You should be ashamed." "Then we'll blackmail Metto." "He's got money." "I'm sure he got Linnea killed." "Who are you?" " Jussi Vares." "I want to ask you a couple of questions." "This is private property." " Easy." "I'm a private detective." "I'm investigating the Girls of April case." "A name came up and it has a link to you." "Puss in Boots." "You know her?" "I like dogs." " Really?" "This cat runs a prostitution ring for you." "Who sent you?" "Aino, Kikka, Teresa, Linnea." "You know Linnea Vihulainen?" "Who sent you?" "I want a name." "I just told you." "Hard of hearing?" "Are you the one who's been blackmailing me?" " What?" "Someone's blackmailing you?" "Turunen." "Oh, you released the hounds." "Hi, Sirkku." "It's me, Jussi." "Jussi Vares." "We should meet." "Call me." "I have five minutes." "It's a bit cold, isn't it?" "Or is it just the atmosphere?" "I'm not here to discuss the weather." "I thought our case was closed." "Our case is, - but you and your sister's case is still open." "What do you know about us?" "You haven't told the police everything about your sister." "You use the information for blackmailing." "If Anne doesn't tell the police about you, - someone else might." " The police?" "Anne is the criminal here." "If I sink in shit, she'll sink with me." "Maybe neither of you will." "When did you become her spokesman?" "I don't need her." "Not even as a stepping-stone." "Sorry." "It's empty." "Shoes." "Hey." "Jesus." "Jesus." "Jesus." "Jesus." "Why are you calling Jesus?" " Have you seen my cat?" "You have a cat?" " No." "A lion." "No, I haven't seen a lion either." "I've been cleaning up the attic." "You have stuff you want to sell at the flea market?" "The lights are out in my upstairs department." "I gotta go find him." "Put some clothes on." " What?" "Put some clothes on." " What?" "This isn't good enough for you?" "Jesus!" "Jesus, where are you?" "Jesus isn't coming back just because you yell his name." "But you might get your ass kicked." "A hell of an ass kicking." " Yeah, yeah." "Jesus dammit." "Vares." "I'll be right there." "His meowing sounds really bad." "Take this." "The lights are out." "Where is he?" " In Gunnar's storage room." "I don't know how he got in, but he can't get out." "And Gunnar is at his summer cottage." "Shit." "Everything is okay." "Easy." "Good boy." "Why didn't people stick to their roles?" "Why did Gunnar have a double life?" "How could the nicest man I've ever met be..." "PAY 2000000 OR..." "Berlusconi, now we'll make money." "Go to hell, foreigner!" "Racists." "Don't mind them." "Don't glue it yet." "It has to be straight." "What does it look like?" "I think he's conked out." "What do you think?" "How long before the dock is finished?" "We just need to lay the cement." "Should we start the cement mixer?" "Be careful, boys." "Cement cracks easily." "How are you feeling?" "Like someone's punching me in the stomach." "I can taste swamp grave water in my mouth." "Are you done fucking with me?" "I'm not fucking with you." "I just feel so awful." "It's like someone's stabbing me in the heart." "Boom." "Boom." "Boom." "Did you kill Hexa?" " Who?" "My dog." "Did you kill him?" "I love animals." "I love cats." "Especially Puss in Boots." "Lift him up." "Who have you spoken to?" "Answer me." "Who knows?" "Who's blackmailing me?" "Forehead or the back of the head?" "You decide." "You could at least say hello." "Are you Henrik?" "So you sent the killers after me - just because I stole a little bit of money." "They were my bonuses." "You think it was fair?" "I saved you many times." "What is going on here?" "I guess I crashed your party." "What are we celebrating?" "A seaside summer festival." "That looks ugly." "These soft-tip bullets do nasty things." "I could pay the bonuses now." "You had a chance to do that a week ago." "Why don't we talk about it with time?" " Sure." "We'll talk." "I just came from Africa, and there we didn't talk much." "You killed Hexa." " Hexa?" "Oh, that was his name." "He had a strong jaw but a weak neck." "You must have loved that flea bag." "I'm sure he licked your balls better than any woman." "I understand your loss." "You understand what I've lost?" "Could you give me some money?" "I might have some in the house." " Some?" "I might have a little more than that." "100000." " Good." "Let's go and see." "A clean shot but it still got messy." "No kidding." "He didn't have enough money?" " It's not about money." "Who are you anyway?" "I guess I should do something with you." "Maybe kill?" "I don't know." "Maybe not." "There are a couple reasons why I shouldn't." "The sixth commandment?" "In Africa people believe that if you save someone's life - you have to take care of him." "Otherwise it's bad karma." "Africa is a good place." " That's right." "What's the other reason?" "It's that you probably didn't work for Metto." "So I think we're on the same side." " Oh yeah?" "Yeah." "You look familiar." "I've seen you somewhere." "Oh yeah." "You live in the same building as that old drunk?" "You know Gunnar Anttila?" "Not anymore." "Okay, get up." "Get up and we'll go." "I have one question." "Did Metto and Gunnar know each other?" "Gunnar worked for Metto but got fired." "He drank and tried to pick up Metto's women." "A pathetic guy." "Hello!" "Hey you!" "Hey!" "Shit..." "I'd like to know what happened at Metto's villa." "Who is this Henrik?" "I told you everything I know." "I doubt he's still in the country." "We'll draw sketches of him at the station if that's okay." "Isolate the crime scene." "Jesus." "You have nine lives." "Why couldn't we have at least two lives?" "You don't?" "There were four bodies." "Then they found a body at the garbage dump." "Unfortunately it was a man's fresh body." "Where's Teresa?" "Alte Kameraden." "Old cameramen." " Wow." "Ruuhio is speaking in tongues." "I want to make a toast - to the achievements of cooperation - between public and private care for the dead." "The mystery was solved." "After 15 years this city can let out a sigh of relief." "With great thanks to private detective Jussi Vares." "Cheers." "Good speech." "You have to learn to drink." "You're sipping it like a civilized Italian." "You've been in this country for ten years." "Do we really have a reason to celebrate?" " No kidding." "The old murderer has his mouth full of soil, - and his son is on the loose." "And I don't think we have the resources to find him." ""One more," said God when he created bedbugs." "And we need one more body." "They're trying to find Teresa's body at Gunnar's ranch." "It's not there." "Gunnar was more into dried flowers." "You've been in this country for ten years." "Some local girl brought him to Finland." "He's a gigolo." "You mean they took off to Santiago de Compostela - and became nuns?" "A fortune teller." "Fatima Morte." "Safeword, safeword..." "Come." "Come..." "Morte." "Dead anyway." "Furry Dice." "You knew Linnea." "What name did she have on her passport?" "She didn't have a passport." "What?" "A Finnish person who doesn't have a passport?" "She didn't even have a social security number." " What?" "Have you been withholding information from the police?" " Stop." "Why didn't she use Teresa's passport?" "She was afraid." "Afraid of what?" "C'mon, guys." "Ciao." "In Africa people believe that if you destroy someone's marriage - you have to take responsibility or you get bad karma." "Boys." "Antidote threw this away." "But it's okay." " What?" "Viva I'amore!" "Kiss!" "Did someone mention karma?"
