- [woman] Thank you. - [Billy] All good.

What's up with you?

What?

What's going on? You're off today.

I just don't have anything to say to you.

You sure you're all right, bro?

Damn, bro. I have to go.

- Can you take this? - Yeah. Sure.

[Jill] Dogge?

Just come in here for a minute.

Sit down.

[slow atmospheric music builds]

[indistinct chattering]

Darling.

- I'm taking out the garbage. - Okay.

- [shop bell rings] - We're closed!

[sighs] Excuse me! We're closed!

- Just want something to drink. - Too bad. We already closed. Sorry.

- Let me buy something to drink. - We already closed the cash register.

Well, I'm taking it.

- I'll call the police on you. - You're gonna rat me out?

Just what the fuck do you think you're doing?

Listen, I told you we're closed, and my dad's gonna...

- You think I give a fuck? Huh? Do you? - [shouting]

Do you? Shut the fuck up!

Shut the... Shut your mouth!

- Huh? - [groans]

Why are you doing this? Get out!

- Seriously! - Quiet!

- Asshole, just go! - Shut your mouth right now!

- Now, are you gonna keep quiet? - Mm-hm.

Really?

- Help! Daddy! Daddy! - What the fuck are you doing, huh?

Shut up! You think you're better than me?

- [panting] - [grunting]

- [grunts] - [clattering]

- What'd you do? - [girl whimpering]

Are you crazy? Let's go. Come on!

- Hello? - [shop bell rings]

Eva! Eva!

Are you all right?

- [woman] 911. - Hey!

Uh... I'm calling you from Sudden's Grocery Store in Våringe.

You have to send a police car right away.

First, I need you to tell me what happened, sir.

They've attacked my daughter. I left the room for a few minutes.

- Are they still there? - No, they both ran away.

- Sir, this is an ongoing case. So... - "Ongoing"? It's been ongoing for years!

They're threatening my family! Stealing money from us.

One police car, that's all I'm asking!

Have you gone batshit?

Shut the fuck up! Bitch thinks she's better than me, you know.

She's a little girl!

- Fuck you! She was crazy. - And you're the reason why, dude!

What's going on?

Shut the fuck up, man!

[tense, pulsing music playing]

DELIVER ME

[music fades out]

[children's choir singing faintly]

[choir singing rises]

Yalla, let's go!

Come on, get out. Come on.

What's going on with you? Stand up!

Walk!

[Svante] Douglas Arnfeldt has been extracted.

Unfortunately, one of the last things he did

was to revoke his testimony against Mehdi Bah.

The detention hearings are taking place tomorrow.

So, right now, we need to focus on making sure he lands in detention soon.

I've gone through Mehdi's phone.

It was clean.

I went through the video, frame by frame, and...

I can't tell if it is Mehdi.

- I know, it's just gonna take time. - Yeah.

What happened? What the hell happened back there?

[sighs] I have no idea.

What do you mean you have no idea? We have to know!

We can't be making these kinds of mistakes, Svante!

This is why I wanted to be in on the background checks!

Come on! We can't be screwing up like this!

- Did you even check the detention centers? - [Sebastian] Of course I did.

Not enough! This is ridiculous!

We didn't detect anyone suspicious. The guys who took him were not from here.

How the fuck are they involved with Stockholm, then?

- [Svante] Easy! - How would I know that?

That is exactly what you're supposed to know! You got it?

If Douglas dies, it's our responsibility.

You're why he recanted his statement.

What? What's that?

[Sebastian] You were the last to see him. So you're the one who screwed up.

- Don't give me that shit! - Okay.

- You had one job to do! One job! - [Svante] Take it easy.

- [Sebastian] One job. Know what it is? - What is it?

You're a cop. But you've forgotten that.

You think everybody out there is your family.

What the hell is that supposed to mean? Don't think I see the way you look at me?

You think I can't see it, you fucking racist!

[Svante] Calm down.

Breathe. Farid.

[panting]

[Farid exhales deeply]

If you can't handle this, I'll have to remove you from this case.

- I'm serious, Farid. - I know. I know. I'm sorry.

- It's been tough for us all. - I know.

I'm sorry. I...

It's just that I'm worried. You know? Douglas.

Now Douglas... It's vital that we keep Mehdi in jail.

Are we clear?

So find someone who can testify

that Mehdi is the one in that video.

I know. I got the family.

Just keep Mehdi locked up. I'll talk to them.

[cell phone vibrates]

- Dogge has escaped. - What?

- Shh. From the detention center. - What are we gonna tell Mom?

We can't tell her right now. It'll only make her sad.

[Leila] Here, put these on.

Gotta keep warm. It's cold outside.

Promise that after school

you all will head

straight here, right back home, okay?

Hmm?

- I love you. - Okay.

[indistinct background chatter]

[teen 1] Hey, you think you can beat him? Take the controller. Come on.

- Talking so much shit a second ago. - [teen 2] Shut up.

[teen 1] Here, go on, kick his ass for me. Show me how it's done.

[teen 2] All right.

[indistinct chatter continues]

[teen 1] Hey, you're good at FIFA, right? Aren't you?

Ahh! Good morning!

Go. Go, go have some food. Grab something. Food's in the fridge.

Oh, thanks.

- "Oh, thanks." - [all chuckling]

[teen 1] This kid...

Go have something. There's pizza, kebab. Whatever you want.

Go eat. Don't be shy. Eat something.

[laughing] He's so stoned.

He's losing three to nothing, man. This is just...

[teen 3] This game sucks.

- [teen 1] Huh? Sucks? - [teen 2] Bro, are you fucking loco?

[teen 1] It's FIFA, bro! Best of the best! What's happening?

[chatter continues indistinctly]

[phone ringing]

[teen 1] Yeah, I'm here with the kid.

Yeah. We're fine.

We're hanging out here.

Oh.

What's the plan?

Mm.

Mm.

Well, anyways, he's here, man.

Yeah, I'll keep an eye on him until you guys are ready to pick him up.

Uh-huh.

Yeah.

Yeah, okay. Hey, I'll call you soon, then.

Yalla, bro.

- Bro. - What?

How are we gonna get to him now?

He brought fucking bodyguards to school.

[man 2] Just chill. We've got time.

We'll get him. Just trust me, bro.

I'll pick you up at four.

Okay?

[Aisha] Mm.

Tusse? How's it going?

Hey.

Why don't you open your book? We're on this page right here.

May I be excused?

Oh. Yes, of course.

[tense music plays softly]

Come here! Gotcha.

Shhh! Listen up, baby boy.

Tusse. It's very important that you're not lying,

because I won't be able to help you later.

That man over there wants to talk with you.

Tusane has gone missing from school. You need to come with me.

Where is Tusane?

Where is my son?

All of our teachers are searching for him right now, Leila.

- Well, find him! He needs to be here now! - [Lana] Leila, try to calm down. Okay?

Don't you say that to me. You were supposed to look after my son!

[Lana] That's what we're doing.

Several of our officers are searching for him right now.

No, you don't understand!

[teacher] We're doing our best. Believe me.

Okay, hey. Leila. Leila. Hey, talk to me.

Where is my son, Farid? Huh?

- Okay. Hold on. Lana? - Please just find him. I can't take this.

Tusse left class to go to the bathroom.

And we've had reports about unauthorized people on the school grounds.

Okay? What do they look like? Any descriptions?

- We don't know much. - Do we have anything?

- Most likely three young men. - And that's all?

- I know... - [teacher] That's all we know.

We were in class. We didn't see them.

[somber music playing]

Leila? They found him. He's okay.

All right, you two wait here.

What's going on, son?

Hm?

Well, I've been hearing them say that there was someone who...

Please, I can't protect you if you don't say anything.

I... I didn't see anyone.

I think Tusane knows something about what happened to Bilal.

But he won't tell me a thing.

Right...

And I think there's a chance you know things...

that you're not telling me.

What did I miss?

We made a deal with Mehdi.

Uh... in what way did you make...

an agreement?

He wanted money in return for letting Billy go.

Okay.

And you gave him money?

- How much did you give him? - Everything.

And... he wanted more.

But I don't understand

what he wants with Tusane.

He might speak to me.

If you want, I can give it a try.

It could help.

You should've made a turn there.

Yeah, I thought the two of us would go for a little drive.

What for?

Well, I thought that we could have some time to talk in private.

I don't have anything to say to you.

Well, when Billy, used to...

get himself in trouble, he was...

He was just like this.

Like you.

He would stay quiet.

Your brother was so secretive,

maybe even scared.

He thought he could solve his problems on his own.

But he couldn't.

No one can face their problems all alone. Not you. I can't either.

And we all need someone to talk to when it's hard.

[intense music builds]

Hello, boys.

All good?

[teen] Aren't you cold?

- [shop bell rings] - [woman] Hi, Farid.

- Hi. - [man] Oh, hey you!

- Hey, my friend! - Hi, Farid.

It's been a while. You good?

- Thank you, Farid. Goodbye. - Nice to see you.

Can we talk?

[grunts softly]

[sniffs]

[grunts]

Do you need something?

Sorry, I just wanted to say hello and, you know, see how you're doing.

Check in on you and your family.

My family?

Where were you when my family needed you, Farid?

Where were you? We've been robbed, harassed, and nobody showed up.

Sudden, I tried to help you out.

You didn't help us.

Or anybody else here.

Police, huh?

Take what you need.

And leave.

I heard it was Dogge.

You know I can't say anything.

I hope you'll lock that kid up.

[door opening]

Come out. I wanna have a chat with you.

[indistinct news report on TV]

Yeah, yeah. Come sit. Sit your ass down.

Um... where is everyone?

Fucking sit down.

What's up with all the dumb questions? Just sit down, bro.

"Where is everyone?" Huh!

Have you spoken with Mehdi?

What'd you say?

- Have you spoken with Mehdi? - Have I spoken with Mehdi?

Mehdi, he's in fucking jail.

They won't let his mom talk to him. Asking if I talked to Mehdi?

Don't you get why we're here?

It's so that you and I can talk about who's responsible for this mess.

- I will fix it. - Hey, listen! Listen!

When I say that you and I are gonna talk,

that means that I'm gonna talk. And you're gonna do three things.

Keep quiet, listen, and shut your mouth.

[inhales deeply] It's like this...

You're a snitch, a rat.

And you've got no respect.

- I've got respect... - You have... Hey! Listen.

It's really simple.

[inhales] Really simple.

You put Mehdi in jail.

So, Mehdi... owns you now.

You're his property, okay?

[inhales]

You understand what the fuck I'm saying?

[quietly] Yeah.

Very good. [exhales]

Very, very good. Very good.

Great, bro. That's great.

You get it now. That's good.

[exhales]

[breathing shakily]

[no audible soundscape]

The evidence here is weak, to say the least.

What if we use... Douglas's initial questioning?

The questioning he eventually recanted?

Which took place without a lawyer and while he was under the influence of drugs?

They'll never approve it. Then there's that video...

The guy in the mask...

- You're saying that's Mehdi? - It's obvious that it's Mehdi.

But there's no real way to verify that.

Would anyone testify... that it was Mehdi?

Uh, yeah.

I can.

I see that it's him.

Just you? No one from the family?

We'd be putting the family at risk

by asking them to testify.

An indictment could change things.

Sure... but not now.

I'll do it. I can testify.

[Svante] Thanks for coming.

I can't risk their lives, Svante.

I can't.

[soft instrumental music playing]

[labored breathing]

[door opens]

A towel, T-shirt, and pants.

And take a bath. This room smells.

[sniffs]

[water running]

[rap music playing on speakers]

[sniffs]

- What are you doing? - What?

What the fuck are you doing?

- Uh... Nothing. - Nothing?

That was my coke.

Now what do I take?

Uh... I don't know.

You don't know?

Wanna know what I know?

Should I tell you what I know?

You're gonna be completely loaded.

[chuckling] You're gonna be completely maxed out. Sit, sit.

Sit down. Clean your nose, bro. You're all white.

Ay, ay, ay.

Pretty soon... you'll be running around like Sonic up in here.

[lighter flicks]

Hey, Dogge. I was messing with you...

Just take it. I was just kidding.

We got whatever you want.

Here. Go, come on. It's all right. Have it.

It's okay, man. Take it.

[lighter flicks]

[teen 1 exhales]

It's ganja. So you won't get totally...

[exhales]

[chuckles] If I'd known all it takes is a joint to calm you down,

I would've rolled 15 yesterday.

Chill out. Get comfortable, man. Take it easy, bro.

Mmm...

Like that.

Just like that.

[grunts, coughing]

- [clattering] - [grunting]

[video pauses]

[Farid] Well, what you're looking at

is Mehdi, who's sitting over there...

attacking and humiliating Bilal Ali and Douglas Arnfeldt.

[D.A.] My client denies any knowledge of this video.

I don't know the court's opinion, but I don't think you can see anything at all.

Do I understand correctly,

that the prosecution doesn't have a single testimony to support this allegation?

All we have is a police officer who's involved in the investigation

swearing he recognizes my client even though no one else does.

[judge] What else do you have?

We do have Douglas Arnfeldt's testimony.

[D.A.] A minor who was questioned while under the influence of drugs

and without counsel present?

And a testimony that he later withdrew, saying it was made up?

[tense music builds slowly]

[grunting forcefully]

Mom?

[mom] Mehdi.

[sighs]

- [in Wolof] I've missed you. - I've missed you too.

- Are you okay? - Yes.

Come and sit down with me.

How are you doing?

I'm fine.

I'm sorry, Mom.

Sorry.

People say bad things about you.

I didn't do it.

I swear that I didn't do it.

I don't know.

I don't know what to believe.

[man 1 in English] He's getting released today, right?

- [man 2] Yep. He'll be here soon. - [man 1] Alright.

- Oh... There he is... - [man 2] Look who's coming.

We were just talking about you.

- Look who's here. - What's up, cousin?

- 'Sup, man? - Yeah.

- Welcome home, brother. - Hey.

- What's up, Mäkele. - Good to see you, man.

- What's good? - How are you?

- I'm all good, man. - Damn, bro, how are you doing?

We've all been missing you. What's up? Hungry?

- Let's get some food! - Same old?

- [Mehdi] Kebab, thanks. - Hey, man! Two regular kebab plates.

- Sit here. - Two kebab plates.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

- Extra garlic sauce! All toppings! - What's good, man?

[man 1] Ay, ay, ay, ay, ay.

- Yo... Habibi, bro. - [man 1] Yalla. We miss you, bro.

Tell us what's going on?

Well, guess who I saw... two cells down from me?

You know Karim?

Von Hässelby? Stop lying!

He's in for a drug offense. It's really bad.

- No? - [man 1 whistles]

- How much longer? - A while, bro. At least eight years.

- [Dawit] No way, man. - Things are pretty good, boys.

All things considered.

- [Mäkele] What's he gonna do in there? - Bro, he's really down.

The only people who wrote him since he was locked up are his mom and his girl.

[Mäkele] That fucking sucks.

[Mehdi] Buddies forgetting about him. What's up with that?

- That sucks. - That's what happens in prison.

- Think someone'd write him. - It shouldn't be like that.

[man 1] No, it shouldn't. It's so... That's the way it is now, unfortunately.

- Wild... No? - Yeah.

So? What have I missed?

Listen. That kid, Dogge?

- [Mehdi] Yeah. - Who created trouble for you?

- Yeah... - We got him, bro.

- What? - For real.

- Seriously? - [Dawit] Tusse is not a problem anymore.

[man 1] We took care of him.

[cook] Here you go, guys.

With extra garlic sauce.

- Here. Extra garlic. - That's for Mehdi.

- Here you are, fellas. - Thank you.

- Enjoy your meals. - [Mäkele] Thank you. Take care, bro!

- [cook] Uh-huh, enjoy. - [Mehdi] Listen, bro.

- Dogge has to pay for his mess. - [Dawit] That's what's up.

I wanna eat, and then we can talk to Dogge.

- [man 1] You sure, bro? - Uh-huh.

He really screwed things up bad for me, bro.

- [Mäkele] I think he... - You were nervous!

[man 1] You can tell us, bro.

[man] Allahu akbar.

[group] Allahu akbar.

[praying indistinctly]

[man] Allahu akbar.

[group] Allahu akbar.

[in Arabic] May God's peace and mercy be upon you.

May God's peace and mercy be upon you.

[group] May God's peace and mercy be upon you.

May God's peace and mercy be upon you.

[somber music plays slowly]

[music fades]

[in English] Tusse?

Hey, buddy. How you holding up?

It was Mehdi.

He taught Billy and Dogge how to shoot.

How do you know that?

I kicked the ball to you.

You were wide open. How could you miss, bruh?

It was you, bruh.

- [chuckles] - Your passing was bad.

- It was all bad. - [vehicle approaching]

Hey Billy.

What's good?

You all right?

- What's up? - I'm going home.

Get in the car. I have a surprise for you and Dogge.

Yalla.

Go home. I'll see ya later.

Nah, bro. Wanna come along?

Stay close to me, okay?

- [dad] Dogge? - [doorbell buzzing]

[dad] Would you...? The door...

Mehdi has a surprise for us. He wants you to come.

- Uh... Okay. - [dad] Hey! Is that Billy?

Hi! It's been a while.

Are... Are you doing all right?

Yeah.

Hey, let's go.

[dad] Have fun.

[Mehdi] Easy. Chill out.

Yalla. Now shoot.

[gunshot echoes]

[Dawit chuckles] Hell yeah. That's enough. Give it to Billy.

- What you doing? Are you stupid? - Don't aim at me! Aim that way, bro!

Watch out for this killer. He's out of his mind.

[Dawit] What you doing, man?

[gunshots echoing]

- [Mehdi] Yalla. - [Dawit] Not bad, bro.

[Mehdi] Looking good. Kid knows how to shoot. Huh?

That's right.

Now you know what it feels like.

Yeah?

Some motherfucker disrespects you, you can always use this.

What's up with Teo?

What?

I saw him.

Looks like a fucking zombie.

Cancer.

You're kidding.

Why haven't you told me?

I don't know.

Everything's fucked.

It's okay.

He's gonna make it.

No.

He won't.

[teen 1] Don't get anything. We have everything we need.

[chuckling] Ay, ay, ay.

Yeah, I got money. Bro.

Bro, bro, I'll take care of it, bro. Yalla. See you soon.

Hey!

[chuckles] Listen, I was just on the phone speaking with Mehdi.

He's out.

What's happening, bro?

What is it?

I shot my best friend.

I shot and killed him.

Bro. Bro, don't think about that now, bro.

Honestly, I don't know what his plan for you is.

But me?

I like you.

Don't think about it.

We also need to get a car before we leave this place.

[gentle music playing]

♪ I'll keep you warm ♪

♪ And safe ♪

Wait here.

Hey! Get out of the car.

♪ And I will be hiding ♪

♪ My face ♪

♪ Yeah, I will be hiding ♪

♪ Away ♪

All right!

Snacks and smokes.

What are you getting? Grab something.

I'll get this one.

Yalla. Grab something! This one.

Is this any good? Huh?

My name is Shemal Aydin. I'm in downtown Våringe.

Sudden's Grocery Store. There is a burglary.

Right now.

[woman] We don't have any cars in the area.

- Can you see if they're armed? - I can't see if they're armed.

But I know that one of them...

One of the guys has killed someone.

I understand. Unfortunately, we have no police cars in the area at the moment.

[indistinct chattering]

[teen 1] Yeah, there you go.

I think that's enough, right?

Yeah, get both.

That's enough, right?

Hey bro, what's up with you? You're staring at us.

We're gonna buy some stuff.

Then you have to pay for it like everyone else.

First of all, bro, why are you carrying a baseball bat?

Is there a... baseball game going on in here?

[chuckling]

Take it easy. Take it easy, bro. Here.

- [Dogge] Here. - [chuckling]

[Dogge chuckles]

What? Is our money not good enough for you or something?

- Brother! - [clapping]

- Hey! - [snapping]

There's money on the floor. You want it or not?

[sniffs] Dogge, grab it.

First of all, if you're not gonna use this,

then don't bring it. You hear?

I don't take out anything I'm not gonna use. You heard that?

- Don't want problems. - You don't want problems? You hear that?

He pulls out a baseball bat, and he doesn't want any problems.

- Just take it. - Those boys? They're my friends.

We'll make your life a living hell. Understand?

- I called the police. - Mm.

- And they're on their way. - [chuckles]

Hey, he's funny. He's called the police. You idiot!

We have enough time to shoot you

and bury your body before they even get here.

Huh? Do you hear me?

Don't just stare at me, you fuck!

Don't push people around if you're not willing to finish it.

Tell him, Dogge.

Fuck with me?

[teen 1] Should I hit him or what? Idiot!

[ping]
