Former county constable Kaarlo Ahola has been found dead with a message pinned to his dead body. The message is directed at Lauri and Sanna. They reluctantly return to Varjakka to investigate.
There are now three deaths, and the detectives still aren't sure how they're connected. Sanna believes Lintola is hiding something. Leena asks her daughter to deliver a message.
Lauri finds the missing fruit pickers, but he's intensely worried about Sanna. Vital pages have vanished from Ahola's files. Did Ahola rip them out or has someone else tampered with them?
