Sekunnit - Episode Guide

The peace of a small town is shattered when a passenger train and a station building are destroyed in a huge explosion and fire. Accident investigator Marita Kaila is facing the most difficult case of her career.

Eyewitnesses to the accident are vital to investigators - but whose word can you trust? Marita has to make difficult choices when both the relatives of the victims and the government demand an explanation.

Rumors about the cause of the fire inflame the small-town residents. The pressure towards the investigation increases when the track is to be opened to traffic. Marita's carefully guarded secret threatens to come to light.

The trains' new control system is praised as reliable, but the evidence does not convince Marita. Marita gets a reason to doubt the impartiality of her own team as well.

As new evidence is revealed, the tensions between the researchers also increase. Shocking information makes Marita question her own principles.

Marita doesn't think the police have arrested the right person - but can she trust her own judgement? The researchers face a threat from an unexpected source. Does the accident claim more victims?

Detective Inspector Marita Kaila is called to the scene during a meeting with her father Jakob: A tall building has collapsed and numerous people have died or are trapped inside. Rescue workers try to reach them, but the building is still dangerously unstable - every decision could cost lives. Marita's team begins an investigation at the construction company Paanio Group and talks to the father and son Paanios, who run the family business together. They are quickly declared guilty of the disaster, but their rage turns to horror when it is revealed that the owner's daughter, Linnea Paanio, is also among those buried alive.

The rescue operation continues, and rescue workers now fight to save two groups of survivors from the collapsed skyscraper. The public is desperate for answers, and Marita Kaila and her team continue to search for clues under immense pressure. Civil engineer Karla Stenberg is brought in, plagued by guilt and fear that she may have made a fatal mistake. Marita collects eyewitness accounts and uncovers new information that turns the rescue operation into a dangerous race against time.

After finding the last victims, the rescue operation ends. But surprisingly, concrete worker Hasan Dahir is found alive. Marita soon realizes that he and other eyewitnesses are hiding information. The team learns that according to the work schedule, Dahir should not have been on the construction site at all on the day of the accident. The investigation also requires searching for physical evidence in the rubble. At the same time, the Paaniots struggle with the grief caused by Linnea's death and the crisis in the company. Mistakes made in the management and implementation of the construction work come to light, and strange activities at the construction site shortly before the accident raise questions. In addition, her father's visit opens old wounds in Marita's life.

Marita and her team face a moral dilemma: Should they report their findings to the police for their own safety or maintain their impartiality at all costs? Linnea Paanio's funeral moves the audience, and the family's facade begins to crumble - father Altti suppresses the issue that Joonas desperately wants to discuss. Marita finds out that Joonas and Hasan were involved in a questionable deal, but still resists involving the police. At the same time, she is shaken by a terrible suspicion: Wasn't her sister Nunnu's death an accident? Daniel finds it difficult to accept that Sara wants to help Petrus, who has been released from prison.

The decision to call the police in complicates the investigators' relationship. Key witness Hasan is no longer willing to cooperate, and the investigation stalls. Despite solid evidence of the collapse, the cause remains unknown. During the investigation, Marita encounters a violent subcontractor. The encounter deeply shocks her and makes her question her own decision to put the investigation ahead of her personal safety. As software expert Eero assists the team in the search for the missing explosives, a clear attraction develops between him and Marita.

Hasan's testimony is a turning point in the investigation, as it suggests that other buildings may also be at risk of collapse. The final interrogation of the Paanio family sheds further light on the complex case. As the investigation into the devastating collapse draws to a close, Marita misjudges her connection to Eero and takes a step she immediately regrets. Marita is ultimately forced to ask herself if her job demands more of her than she is willing to give, and if her past will forever hinder her efforts to build genuine relationships.
