"Are her suspicions founded?" "No." "I had one photo session with Micke." "What's your connection to her?" " You don't read women's magazines." "I was the first runner-up and she was the second in a beauty pageant." "That's not my cup of tea." "What does she do for a living?" "Anything for money." "I guess she's Micke Pinola's fuck buddy/manager." "Oh really?" "Where are we going?" "We'd better take the bull by the horns - and have a word with your dear manager, Aaro Vartio." "Donna!" "You're keeping bad company." "Your company isn't exactly first-rate." "Meaning what?" "From a tango king's agent to a pimp's errand boy." "Times are hard." "True." "Let's not reminisce." "I want to find Ruuhio." "If finding Ruuhio helps to solve Koivikko's murder, we all win." "Consider this." "Soon it'll be the anniversary of his death." "Your income would increase if the murder is solved." "It'll mean money, women, nice meals and a new jacket." "Of course I want the murder solved." "What can I do?" "Haven't the police done everything?" " Probably." "Ruuhio may have some new evidence." "Does the name Focus ring a bell?" " Off the top of my head, no."
