As policemen fall victim in Finland, Aleksis Nyqvist, an intern at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs' media department, receives a position of responsibility. Chancellor Rautakorpi from the Ministry of Defence conceives a brilliant idea.

Grigorjev requests a favour from Nyqvist; Kirkpatrick also seeks a favour from Nyqvist; Nyqvist devises a clever method to circumvent the chain of command.

Doubts arise about Helena among Nyqvist's coworkers, but Nyqvist resolves the issue by inviting them to the village. Autakorpikin gathers his colleagues too, leading to equally unfavourable outcomes.

Nyqvist must try to secure the host country contract through determined efforts; Carl-Kristian vents frustration, blaming site engineer Jaatis.

The Nyqvist couple face decisions; Bodin reveals advancing to the next phase; Imatra becomes the inevitable path, fraught with unavoidable collisions.
