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

[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.

[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.

He wants you to come.
- Uh Okay.

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,

What's up with Teo?

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.

We have everything we need.

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.

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!
