Hi, everyone. I'm Magnus Svenningsen.

What a white name!

I'm a police officer by profession. Some of you may already know that.

But now I'm here without my uniform, as a handball coach.

I'd like to ask, have any of you played handball before?

Okay. In handball you need to adapt quickly.

Attack, defend, attack, defend.

Sort of like life in general.

THIN BLUE LINE

The handball project is a collab with the Welfare Board.

and mainly targets boys aged 13-15 who have committed crimes.

Thank you, Magnus. Magnus' handball school is a part of MBU,

which stands for Meet-ups Beyond the Uniform.

Which in turn is a part of our Project Oskar,

and the idea is that the people who live here, especially young people,

will get to know people in uniform like rescue services,

police, paramedics.

So they won't feel threatened by us.

Sounds great.

It's good to learn each others' faces and names.

Yes, names are good and all, but you know what we want?

We want schools that work.

And we want decent buildings to live in.

I simply can't understand that you don't get that!

If you fix the one thing, the other will fix itself.

I represent the police in the City of Malmö.

And as a representative of the police, it's my job

to take note of opportunities to reduce crime and help prevent it.

That's what my job is.

To put it bluntly, crime levels are quite high in this area.

Much higher than the national average.

- And why is that? - Naturally there are many factors,

but above all I think it's about money.

Money...

The big problem isn't a lack of handball.

It's that it's easier to get drugs and guns than bread and milk.

It's awful about that guy from Poland.

- Yes. - I always used to talk with him.

It's terrible! He was mugged and killed in broad daylight!

He wasn't mugged, he had a stroke.

He was too! I've heard he was mugged.

And why are you all alone here? If it's such an important project,

why aren't there more police here?

Don't forget me now.

I mean police who do police work.

I think this is a really exciting project, Magnus' handball school.

You can also follow it on Facebook.

- Facebook? Great... - That's right.

Can we eat now?

Why don't you come and sit with me?

I know you're suspicious of me and my colleagues.

I see it every day in my work.

I see the dirty looks, the anger, how you've just switched off.

You don't like me.

But you know what? I want to try and change that.

Give me a chance.

Now, boys. Now our great handball journey begins.

First line, jump up.

Second line, burpee.

Third line, jump up. Fourth line, burpee.

Does anyone know what this is called?

Suicide.

Almost. Suicide drills.

So. Are we ready?

Okay, let's do a few. Let's go.

Come on, guys. Everyone now, come on!

Come on, come on!

Come on now!

Great work, boys. Really good.

One for you.

Hang on, hey!

No, no, no.

No balls yet. Put them back.

Come down from there.

- What's your name? - Batman.

Funny. What's your name?

- Batman. - Your name is Nami, right?

- I swear, my name is Batman. - Fine, get down, Batman.

- Don't touch me, you fucking clown. - Okay, let's start over.

Okay. Put the balls down now.

Come on.

Now let's take off your helmet. I'll make sure not to pinch you. There.

- Right... - Yeah.

But Alice! Alice, you have to lock the bike.

Can we play after school?

I'll put the key in your backpack.

Can I play with Bianca after school?

Hi, Bianca. Nice to meet you. Welcome to this school.

- Please? - We have something to do.

- We were gonna bake. - We can do it tomorrow!

She's welcome to come to our house.

- Oh. How nice. Hi. - Hakim.

Jens. Alice's dad, I guess you know.

- You look a lot alike. - Thanks!

- Blonde hair and all. - Yeah...

Bianca and I are glad she got a best friend on her first day.

- Isn't that right, sweetheart? - That's great.

Really, it's great.

- So you've moved from...? - Stockholm. To the fantastic Malmö.

Please, Dad, can I go to Bianca's?

Yeah well, if it's okay with you, absolutely.

- She's very welcome. - Yay!

See you after school.

It's nice that they've found each other.

Yeah, they're so cute.

When should I collect her?

She can have dinner with us.

We can cook and hang with the kids and we can drive her home.

- Sure. - I know where you live.

- Okay. - Talk to you later!

Right.

So... bye.

"I know where you live?"

Maybe he means just what he says. "I know where you live."

I'm not ruling out that possibility.

Then why are we talking about it?

It's just an example of how hard it is

to not mix up work and personal life.

I mean, another thing. There are quite a few women on the force...

who don't want a relationship with a man because of all we see.

On the other hand,

I wouldn't want to be with a man even if they were all great.

So it's a pretty prejudiced thing to say.

Right, okay.

But...

Are you two in a relationship?

No.

No?

All right, fine.

- Mm... - Yep.

- Anyone want coffee? - Yes, with milk.

- You, Faye? - Yes, no milk.

What the hell!

Can't we just tell people?

Dani, do you think I'm a poor cop?

You are emotional.

And I love that, but it can affect your work sometimes.

Here he comes.

I'm sorry, I didn't mean to accuse you of anything.

It's just that in my experience it's really messy

when partners get involved.

It can be hard to prioritise in tense situations.

Want some coffee?

No.

- Do you? - No, I'm fine.

- I can stop here. - No, it's fine.

- Just say so if you want to. - No, I don't.

It can wait.

Okay.

I had a doctor's appointment.

Let me know next time.

I had to do the presentation by myself.

As I understand it, the handball guy was there too.

Svenningsen.

Yes, but you and I were presenting it.

Hello?

Yes, hello.

Why aren't you at the Project Oskar site?

Listen, girl...

Sorry. Okay.

But let's talk a bit about the presentation and the project.

I'm so old that I've seen this kind of thing

come and go a hundred times.

It's always the same thing.

We're going to be all chummy with the troublemakers

and sail off to the West Indies with them.

Or why not play handball?

Then everything will work out.

Anyone who thinks they can build team spirit in these boys

is an idiot.

We have completely clashing perspectives.

The old Swedish team mentality can never meld with the new clan-think.

It's obvious.

There are too few Zlatans and too many gangsters.

All we can do is lop the roosters' heads off.

Preferably in front of the chicks.

That's my opinion.

But you don't have to tell God and the whole world.

Leah here.

Yes, he's my grandfather.

Yes. I know. Yeah.

I know I need to empty out his flat. I haven't had the time.

You don't have to...

Yes, I will clear out the bloody flat.

I apologise. Thank you.

- Hey. - Hi.

I just wanted to say Björn isn't an asset.

You can't count on anything, planning is useless.

Björn's not an easy man.

Okay...

Then what's the point of having him in Project Oskar?

I understand you're frustrated.

You have completely different energy.

But Björn has heaps of experience, you have to admit.

Of what? Looking at boat adverts online?

Fine, I'm sorry.

Björn isn't far from retirement.

But I can have him transferred, it's your call.

But I don't have a replacement. You'll be on your own.

There has to be two of us out there, Barry.

I've got so much work with project Oskar, plus my regular duties.

Yes. I know, and it's not good.

But that's the situation.

You have to decide whether you'd rather work alone or with Björn.

I won't hold it against you either way.

But it has to be your decision.

And you know the conditions.

Musse! Stop that, stop that.

- Go over by the others. - I can't hear you.

Gather round, boys!

Come down from there.

Stop that now!

Time to stop? Let's go, guys!

- You know what happens if you go? - What happens, you fucking pig?

I look at you boys,

and I know none of you has had a good male role model.

But I've been in sports my whole life

and I know it can be a pathway to respect and understanding.

That's what handball has been for me, and it can be that for you too.

If you only dare to let me in.

Let me be a little part of the good forces

that challenge hard situations and spread hope.

My experience means something.

And so does yours.

"...that challenge hard situations and spread hope.

My experience means something. And so does yours."

Nice.

You try writing and see how easy it is.

I know it's not easy.

That's why I said what I said.

I think it's well written.

You know, it almost sounds too good to be true.

What?

- What do you mean? - Go ahead and lie on Facebook.

But be honest with me.

What are you talking about?

It's going fine. We get along. It's okay.

Okay...

- Good work. - Thanks.

I'm impressed you can keep them all in line.

It can get messy.

- Leah here. - There's a lot of them.

It's me again, you said you were...

Yes, I know, I will clear out the flat.

Why haven't you moved out yet? It should have happened...

If I say I'll clean out the bloody flat

by the end of the month, I will!

- I don't see why you... - It's as I say, you have to...

- You can't keep... - Yeah, but why...

Because I'm a cop, okay? Bloody idiot.

- Do you want help with Jurek's flat? - It's okay, I can handle it. Thanks.

- Bye. - Magnus?

- It's my neck if this fails. - I just told you it's going well.

So, one falafel with mixed sauce, one falafel with hot sauce.

Excuse me. You're the one who writes on Facebook, aren't you?

Yes, that's right.

I just wanted to say thanks.

You write so well about your profession.

Well, thank you very much.

Could I take a photo?

Yes, of course.

Could you take it?

Of course.

There. It looks great.

Thanks. Good luck with the handball project.

- Thank you. - Two falafels.

See? I'm not the only one who thinks you write well.

Stop it.

God damn it!

How hard can it be?

I'm here because I believe in you.

Because I think you can do so much more than what you're usually up to.

What the hell?

I'm here to give you a fucking chance.

Can't you do the same for me?

- Is that too much to ask? - What the fuck are you doing?

Hi, Leah, it's me. Call me when you hear this.

Okay, bye.

- Hi, Magnus! - Hi.

Could we talk to the boys for two minutes?

Yeah... sure.

Just give us two minutes alone. It won't take long.

Okay, do whatever you want.

Hey. Hey!

Sit down! Sit down!

Shut up and sit down. What are you doing?

You can go in now.

From now on you can tell the truth on Facebook.

I promise.

Okay...

Okay, I have no idea what happened in here.

But I really don't care.

Are you ready to work now?

Okay, good. Form two lines along the centre line.

I need a defender and a goalkeeper.

Perfect! Good goalie.

And finish.

Great.

Excellent!

Take over.

Hello, Leah. Yeah.

No, no, it was nothing.

Okay. Yes. Right, talk to you later. Bye.

Excellent, Nami!

Great, boys. Keep up the pace now!

Irene.

- Irene! - What do you want?

Didn't we agree I wouldn't have to arrest you anymore?

Yes, we were.

What happened with that?

Then you turned into a regular cop picking up drunks.

Yeah, I do that sometimes. Getting back to our core activities.

- 6-0 priority one at Videdal School. - I think it's important...

A fight, potentially involving PDW.

Stop the car.

Get her out of the car. Now.

65-1410. We're on it.

Copy that.

Go!

Fuck this shitty society!

The caller is the suspect himself. He says he's in the cafeteria.

The task force is on their way.

It's Siri's school.

Come on, damn it...

She's not picking up. That doesn't have to mean anything.

- No, it doesn't. - Damn it!

1410, you are first on the scene, the suspect has hung up.

The situation seems to be escalating.

65-1410 to 6-0. Breaking off comms.

We've got armed attack in progress.

Into the classrooms, all of you!

- Where is the cafeteria? - I know.

Get inside, now.

Out of the way! Quick, into the classrooms!

Into the classrooms and close the door!

You're gonna die! And you too!

- Shut up! I'm gonna kill you! - Clear!

You especially!

- Police! Drop your weapon, lie down! - Put the sword down!

- Drop your weapon! - Put the sword down!

Right now! Drop the weapon!

- You don't get it! - Get down from there!

Stop!

- Drop your weapon! - Get out of here!

Down! Now!

- Down! - Drop the weapon!

- Drop it! - What are you doing here?

Get out of here!

- Down! - Ow!

Clear the room!

- What are you doing? - You're bleeding!

What are you... Ow!

Damn it!

Ow! Ow!

- Are you alone? - Yes, I'm alone!

- So there's no one else here? - No, no one wants to be with me.

Dani...

- You all right? - Yeah, I'm fine.

Yeah, I'm fine.

Police. Open the door.

Hi there.

We have arrested a person. It's great you locked yourselves in.

We need to search the building,

so you need to vacate the premises now.

- So we can go home? - We'll gather at the assembly point

and then we'll see.

- But we're skipping the test? - For today.

Benji! Benji! Benji! Benji!

- Everyone leave now. - Go to the assembly point.

Right now. Come on.

- What happened? - You'll find out later.

Siri, just a moment.

Why didn't you answer?

We can't have phones in class.

You were one of the decision makers. Don't you remember?

Siri, I love you.

Why are you making a big deal of this?

Everyone knows Benji is mental.

Last week he was going to off himself. Always a drama queen.

Well, thanks for the cancelled test.

- Eleven missed calls? - Go with the others, Siri.

Officers have initiated evacuation.

Patrols inside the school, make sure no children are left inside.

Here's the master key. Benjamin's locker is 307.

Okay. You leave too.

65-1410 to 6-0. We have...

Send the bomb squad. Suspicious object in a locker.

It looks like a homemade bomb.

The school has been evacuated. Over.

Leah here.

Hey, Leah, I've been trying to reach you.

I'm going to take care of the flat. Please stop nagging!

What flat?

This is Dariush Gorbani, the reporter.

Oh, I'm sorry. How embarrassing.

I apologise. I was...

Don't worry about it. I'd like to ask you about Project Oskar.

- Are you still there? - I'm here, yes.

The project has been running a while,

and perhaps it's too soon to say,

but how does Oskar differ to similar outreach projects

run previously which didn't achieve the desired results

while costing Malmö a lot of money?

Excuse me, I'm... I'm a bit tied up at the moment.

Could you possibly call my colleague, Björn?

- Gudmundsson? - Yes, his number...

I've already talked to him, and what he said

is that these projects are just PR and don't impact real police work.

- What's your comment on that? - Björn isn't working out.

Okay.

I've got enough to do, I don't need a burnt-out old man as dead weight.

Wow. Harsh words.

You want me to reassign Björn?

Have I understood correctly?

I'd work more efficiently without him, yes.

Okay. Let me summarise.

That you want me to reassign Björn, even if it increases your workload.

Yes.

All right.

Play on.

- Hello. - Hey.

- Who are you? Hi. - Ibrahim.

We're friends. We just want to watch. That okay?

- Sure. - Thanks.

Let's get started.

Good! Keep it up!

Great, Nami!

Hello?

Hello?

Oh, Jesus! Sorry...

- Heard of knocking? - I did!

- Hi, I'm Jens. - Hi. Aram.

Can you go now?

Yeah.

- Do you know where the girls are? - Yes.

- Where are they? - Molly is at a party at Boel's.

Right, I knew that. Alice?

Alice and Bianca are at the pool, her dad came and got them.

- He just came and took her? - Yes. Can you go now?

- Yeah, yeah... - Go now, we're making out.

Yeah, yeah. Sorry.

- Good bye. - Didn't mean to interrupt.

Help me collect the balls.

You've got talent. You know that, right?

I know, I'm the best.

If you want, we could get together for extra training.

Train more handball? You're mental.

You forgot that one.

If you have time, we could practice a bit more.

- Now? - Yeah.

Hi, this is Hakim. Leave a message. Adios.

Yeah, this is Jens again, Alice's dad.

I'm just wondering where you are.

It's getting a bit late and Alice needs to get to bed.

So...

Okay, talk to you later. Bye.

Hi there. This is Jens Lind.

That's right, Jesse. Yeah.

Yeah, I'm fine. Everything's great.

Hey, I have a question. I know you know this kind of thing.

You haven't heard of a Hakim Haddad, have you?

I've shouted and argued.

Yelled myself hoarse.

I've been unbelievably tired.

And a few times, I've nearly given up.

But I got up again and kept going.

Because the alternative was too sad.

And then suddenly it changed.

Suddenly we were going in the same direction.

I don't know exactly how it happened.

Often you don't.

But now we're here.

First we take one step.

Then another, and another.

Together.

This could go anywhere.

Handball unites us and shows us the way.

Dad, I'm super hungry.

How can you be hungry? We just ate!

Damn it!

- Bye, Jesse. - Bye.

Damn it...

There you are!

Have you heard anything about Alice going out

with Bianca and her dad? Hakim?

Have you heard anything about that?

Yeah, I don't want her spending time with them.

Because I don't want her to.

I don't like it and now she's not here.

What?

Oh, yeah, I'd forgotten.

Here she comes. I've got to go.

Talk to you later. Bye.

- Daddy! - Yeah.

- Hi, sweetheart! - I won a swimming badge!

- You did? - Look!

Wow!

- Hey man. How's it going? - Yes, fine.

So, you eat off the floor?

That's right.

Sorry, I'd totally forgotten about the swimming.

No problem. I forget things too.

Parents have a lot to keep track of.

But she was really good, right, Alice?

- Were you? - Yeah.

- I've got to go. - Okay. Thanks.

- Talk to you later. Bye, Alice! - Bye!

- Next time it's our turn. - Sure.

That's Mum's.

Oh, right.

He seems nice, your Aram.

Did you talk at all about what happened at school today?

Siri?

Do you want to talk to me about what happened at school today?

Dad...

- Are you racist? - What kind of question is that?

- Of course not, why do you ask? - Just wondering.

You can't just ask that like it's a normal question!

Siri. You must understand. Explain what this is about!

So you don't care if I'm dating Aram?

Are you dating?

Maybe.

Then maybe you can tell me about it.

He won't rape me, he won't make me wear a veil

and his parents won't throw him out of a window for dating me.

That's not what I asked.

Good morning.

Time to wake up.

- Hi. - Excuse me.

- You're Magnus, right? - Yeah.

- I follow you on Instagram. - Ah, okay.

- I think you write beautifully. - Thank you.

And you take great gym pictures.

Oh. Well, you know, I use lots of filters.

But I see you're handsome without a filter.

- I can't say anything about that. - I can.

Anyway, sorry, I'm getting a bit nervous.

But I thought that maybe, if you don't have any plans this weekend...

You could give me a call or send a text.

- Sure. - It was nice meeting you.

- Likewise. - Take care.

Well, well!

Easy to see where that was going.

Maybe...

Are you going to call her?

Maybe.

Of course you should.

Maybe I will.

Shall we...?

- Hey there... - Oh, hi!

- Is it you they call Bengan? - He'll be here another day. 1, 2, 3.

Right. Can you walk?

Yeah, I think so.

Okay, let's see how it goes.

- That's passable, I think. - Yes. Absolutely passable.

Great practice today. Thank you so much for today.

Great work from everyone. I'm proud of you.

I have a surprise.

Next practice isn't just practice.

It's a match against a new team from Trelleborg.

Wait, what team?

A match against another team!

- We'll crush them! - Of course you will!

I should tell you it's a women's team.

What? We're playing old ladies?

Don't be too cocky.

- Wait, do we get paid? - Not a krona.

- Then I'm not playing. - Everyone is, it's mandatory.

I'm in. We'll crush them. I'll score at least 30 goals.

Now you're cocky!

- Are you gonna win? - Of course!

- Absolutely! - Thanks for a great practice.

What the fuck!

I thought this handball journey was only about them.

But now I realise it is at least as much about me.

Hi, this is Magnus...

We met...

Yes, exactly.

Yes, great.

So how are you?

Sounds fun.

Hi. I'll let you pack in peace.

No, no worries.

I understand completely.

- Would you like some help? - Yes, please.

Has the knee improved, or is it the slaughterhouse for you?

Well... thanks for the time we had.

Thank you, Björn.

- FACEBOOK - TRUTH? - COMPLETELY FUCKING TRUE

What are you going to do?

Nothing. Can you get out of here?

Hi, this is Magnus Svenningsen. Could I speak to Nami?

No? Okay...

We were supposed to go to a match in Trelleborg and he's not here.

I just wondered where he is.

I thought you'd know.

I don't know.

If you see him, tell him I called and I'm angry.

Hi, Musse. This is Magnus. Where are you?

You should have been here 15 minutes ago. I'm waiting.

Call me. Bye.

Hi, Hamid, it's Magnus. Where are you? I'm waiting here.

Call me or just get over here.

Hi, this is Magnus Svenningsen.

It looks like there won't be a match in Trelleborg.

I thought I'd come in, do you have anything for me?

I don't know, maybe 45 minutes? I have to return the damn van.

Right. Okay, bye.

Look, seriously.

Isn't it about time?

- How about moving in together? - With whom?

Cut it out!

- Oh, you and me? - No...

How would that work?

Such an emotional person in your orderly life.

It might be exactly what I need.

Yeah, that's not necessarily wrong.

I mean it.

So what do you say?

Okay.

"Okay," as in...?

Clearly.

Yes! Clearly we should move in together!

Clear as day we should live together, darling!

Well, that's clear...

From 6-0, priority one. Claesgatan towards Möllan.

Suspected robbery of store.

Caller says there are four masked men. Over.

That's right around the corner.

65-1320. We'll be there in one minute.

Excuse me, what's going on?

No idea, we just got here.

- Please stay back. - I want to know what's happening.

- Back off! - Get back!

Back off!

- Drop your weapon! - Back off!

- Back off! Back off! - Let the man go!

- It's the perpetrator. - Drop the gun!

- I'll shoot! Back off! - I am!

- Back off, I'll shoot him! - I'll back off, you let him go!

Drop the gun!

Stop!

From 6-0, two mopeds fleeing.

Two suspects on each moped. The suspects are armed.

Helicopter, do you have a visual? Over.

From helicopter, we have a visual. Moving east from city centre.

Heading east from city centre.

Four, in dark clothes.

They're leaving the mopeds, they've stopped.

One is running south.

Three are running into the building.

1220, you're going the right way, carry on.

From 6-0, we have a dog on the scene. We'll try to cover the area.

Clear.

Police!

Stop!

Stop! Police!

- Police! Stop! - Stop! Lie down!

- Stop! Drop your weapons! - Stop!

Face down on the ground!

Hands by your sides!

Hands on your backs.

- Up, on your knees. - Head up.

- Hey there, Musse. - Up, on your knees.

Up, stand up.

That was bloody unnecessary.

Where's Nami?

I said, where's Nami?

Come with us now, play time is over.

If I can have your attention.

We've brought out the big tongs,

which only happens on special occasions.

Excellent work, everyone. You should be proud.

And since we've got special guests today, Arrax gets the first hot dog.

- He's not allowed to eat them. - No?

- Okay, how about you? - Absolutely!

Isn't that a bit unfair?

Hi.

- I just want a tea bag. - No.

Can you move so I can get a tea bag?

What are you going to do about that? Fire me?

What do you say, boys?

- Hello. - Hi! Oh, no thanks.

- No, thanks. - Okay.

Good work today, Faye. By the book. I read your report.

It went a bit fast disarming him.

Not something I reacted to.

But I heard you kept an eye on the perps and the hostages

and not on Danijela, so that's good.

You too, good on both of you.

Thank you.

It was just this kind of situation I meant when I asked if you...

If you're a couple,

these situations can go badly if you prioritise your partner.

But if you do it right, as you did today,

it can strain the relationship.

I don't want to put you through that. That's why I asked.

Well, we are a couple.

Yes, I know.

Everyone knows.

But congratulations.

You're such good cops, I'm sure your relationship can survive your work.

Well, for heaven's sake, of course we can.

We can ride together even if we're a couple.

No, you won't be riding together.

Now don't lie to me again. Okay?

Okay, understood.

Fuck, talk about bad timing!

- Is this space available? - Yes.

You alright?

Yeah, I'm okay.

Except that half your handball team robbed an exchange office.

Yeah...

That sucks.

It really does.

But you can console yourself with your date.

- My date? - Yeah.

- Yeah, how did it go? - Why?

I'm just making small talk, like colleagues do.

Okay, well, it was nice.

Good! So weird, just swooping in on someone like that.

But yeah. I'm glad it went well.

A fun story to tell the grandkids.

- You're jealous! - What?

I think you seem jealous.

Stop it!

- It's all right. - Knock it off!

- Okay! - Alright then.

Look, er...

Fuck!

Fucking bloody hell!
