The Old Man and the Sea

OUTLINE

Jouni meets John in Helsinki to deal with a local communication company.

Trying to dig in to her past, she hears about the legend of a U-boat which disappeared into the Baltic with loads of German gold bars on board. The legend comes from a now deceased drunken Estonian fishing trawler Captain who used to tell a tale to bar acquaintances in Sompasaari after the war. He was claiming to have sold stolen Russian diesel to a drifting German U-Boat at the end of the war and of having been paid in gold bars.

John and Jouni take a helicopter ride to Tallinn where they track a surviving crewmen of the Estonian trawler who claims to having been shown a gold bar bearing an engraved Swastika. The fisherman, now in his 80s, also mentioned that a woman and her infant were on board.
