Underworld Trilogy is a Finnish drama/thriller television series produced by Vertigo Production in 2010. The Underworld Trilogy consists of three miniseries: The Prisoner, The Cop and The Lawyer.
The Underworld Trilogy is an uncompromising glimpse into transnational organized crime through the lives of three people - a prisoner, a cop and a lawyer - who find themselves caught up in circumstances beyond their control.
Set in Stockholm, St. Petersburg and Helsinki, these three independent, yet interconnected mini-series offer a thought-provoking observation into the links between the penal system, drug-trafficking and money laundering.
Underworld Trilogy was released 11 October 2010 in Finland on YLE1.
The Prisoner (5 x 50 min.)
Computer whizz-kid VESA LEVOLA is a decent young man with a promising career who unexpectedly ends up in prison after becoming involved in a street fight. Suddenly he is faced with a situation in which the key to survival lies in making contacts in the criminal underworld. Vesa ends up working for the kingpin of the criminal world, REIJO SUNDSTRÖM, who runs a drug-trafficking organization from behind bars. Prison proving no obstacle for his criminal actions, Sundström secures heroin shipments (codenamed Cuba Libre) from St. Petersburg to Sweden through Finland. Vesa soon realizes he is just a pawn in a game of chess between Sundström and inspector JUHA VIITASALO, who is willing to exceed his powers as a police officer in order to stop Sundström's racket.

He was fired from his previous job as a corporate lawyer and, with the doors of the business world closed for him, he was forced to turn to defending criminals. Unfortunately, he is not particularly good at what he does, and is completely fed up with his frustrating job and his clients. Through a coincidence, however, he gains a new client, the beautiful blonde NINA, who offers him a lucrative job. Without questioning this tempting deal in any way, Mattila believes his luck has turned. He sobers up and begins to enjoy his newfound success, until he finds out that he is helping Swedish white-collar criminals launder money. Mattila realizes too late that there is no way out.
