- [sighs]
- [unzipping]
Yalla. See this?
Take it.
- Take it, bro.
- [Mehdi] Hide it till I tell you, okay?
Got that? Listen.
That gravel court nobody uses?
- Yeah?
- There's a car up there.
You boys need to get rid of it.
- If the cops find it, we're screwed.
- Okay, we'll take care of it.
Hey, it can't wait till tomorrow.
It has to burn today.
We'll handle it.
Yalla, go.
- Yalla! [clapping]
- The fuck's up with them?

Dogge, the cops are coming!
Come on!
[cop 1] Police! Stop!
[cop 2] Hey, stop! Stop!
[cop 1] Come here! I got him!
[cop 2] Settle down. Stop resisting!
- [cop 2] Grab his wrist.
- I got it.
- Easy, kid.
- What were you thinking, huh?
- [Dogge] Don't touch me!
- Hey!
- Let go!
- Just calm down, okay?
- All right, come here.
- Hold still.
Let's go.
Calm down, boys.

The car's just outside.
We need to pat you down
before we get in the car.
Do you have anything sharp on you?

I go the way ♪
Down by ♪
The riverside ♪
[woman vocalizing]
Down by the riverside ♪
- Hey, hey.
- What's up? Where's the little guy?
- Dogge's lying in the store, half dead.
- What are you saying?
The guy who works in the grocery store?
He just hit Dogge.
Bam! He's lying down there, unconscious.
- Are we talking about the same Dogge?
- Yeah. Yeah.
- Wasn't he just with you?
- Yeah. Yeah.
- Bam, just like that?
- He put him on the floor.
[Mehdi sighs]
[scoffs]
Hey, what is it?
I just told you that he's knocked out.
What do you want me to do, bro?
If he did the work, then
- [chuckling]
- You're laughing?
He's a fucking boy.
And a snitch, don't forget that.
[scoffs]
That's what he says, so that's how it is.
That's how it is?
Listen, bro. Congrats.
You lucked out on the prison thing.
I'm gonna head. Yalla.
- Okay, take care.
- See ya.
Be careful. Talk to you later.
- Yalla.
- See ya.
Motherfucker
Oh my God.
Bro.
What the fuck do we do now?
I don't know, guys.
But we'll figure it out, okay?
We'll figure it out.
Bro, they won't care
it was Dogge who fucked up.
We'll get blamed for it, man.
You know how it works.
[Mehdi sighs] I know, all right? I know.
The plan was to hand them Dogge.
His condition's critical,
there's not much else I can
I understand that, but when
will his surgery be finished?
- When can I see him?
- I can't answer that. I'm sorry.
Okay, then, in that case
Call me as soon as you
know something, alright?
- Anytime, call me anytime.
- Sure.
Thank you. Thank you.
[cell phone vibrating]
- Hello.
- [Lana] Hi, is this a bad time?
Hi. No, it's okay.
- Where are you?
- I'm at the hospital.
Okay.
- How is he?
- Uh, he's
They don't know yet, if he
Uh, what's going on?
Any update?
I just I just wanted to say that
What Tusse said checked out.
We found shell casings by the lake.
Lab analysis might take a while,
but they're the same as the ones
from the murder scene,
so it could be the same gun.
Okay. Okay. That's
- Very good work, Lana. Thanks.
- The question is if Tusse knows more.
I can ask Leila if I can do
a proper interview with him.
No, I can
I'll deal with her.
Gotta keep myself busy.
Okay. Bye.
Leila, hey.
- Farid, has something happened?
- No, don't worry. Nothing's happened.
The kids are okay.
I was just wondering if we could talk.
- Take a break, Leila.
- Okay, thank you.
Leila, I've been following up on
some things that Tusane has told me.
It was Mehdi who taught
Dogge and Billy to shoot.
Did Tusane see it?
He said so, which is good for us.
The fact that Tusse was there,
and saw Mehdi teach the kids
how to shoot it helps us.
It's impossible to nail someone
just for putting out a contract hit,
but if we can tie the gun to Mehdi,
then we can get Mehdi,
we'll get a conviction.
Leila, what I need from you is
I'm gonna need to conduct an interview
with Tusse.
A proper, recorded interview.
- No.
- Please.
No.
If he testifies,
how am I supposed to protect him?
I'll get you witness protection.
I'll take care of it,
if he tells me everything.
- No.
- Proper witness protection.
So that you can leave here.
You can leave all this behind.
And start over. With a new life.
[somber music builds slowly]
[Leila] Farid wants us
to come to the police station.
He wants to talk to you about Mehdi again.
He wants to get it on record.
If you know stuff about Dogge and Mehdi,
I want you to tell Farid.
Like what?
[music fades out]
Like how Dogge got a hold of the gun.
Farid said that part is important.
You have to tell the truth.
Anything you know about the gun.
[somber music builds slowly]
[music fades out]
- Jason.
- [Jason] Huh?
Do you know if Shemal Aydin is
still being interrogated in Room Two?
Yeah, uh But I think
they stopped for a little break.
- Okay, okay. Thank you.
- Yeah. Uh-huh.
[knock at door]
Hey, Josef. Can you give me a minute?
Hey.
[door shuts]
Farid.
Hey, Sudden.
- No one's telling me anything.
- What do you wanna know?
Is he alive?
Yes, he's alive.
I was at the hospital.
Sudden, he's alive.
Is there anything I can do for you?
If you want I can arrange
for you to see your family.
- For you to see
- I hit a boy.
I hit a boy with a baseball bat.
I know.
[sniffles]
- I'm a monster.
- You're not a monster, Sudden.
I am a monster.
[Farid] Is he sleeping?
[doctor] Since his injuries were
so severe, we had to heavily sedate him
in order to let his brain rest.
Is it okay if I go in and
sit with him for a while?
Yeah, that's fine.
Okay. Thanks.
[heavy, somber music builds slowly]
[Farid] The car the boys
burned was reported stolen.
Bilal.
[woman] These are
very serious matters, Leila.
How are things at home?
- [Leila] Good. I have to work a lot.
- [woman] I've gathered as much.
I've spent a lot of time
talking to your oldest daughter
since you haven't been available.
- I'm supporting my kids.
- Yes, I know. This is not an accusation.
We're just trying to find a solution.
[Jill] As I think you know already
Um Dogge's dad has just died of cancer.
- [man] I'm so sorry.
- [Jill] Yeah.
[man] Are you able
to talk about these things as a family?
[Jill] We try.
[woman] I think it's time
we start thinking about
whether this is the right
environment for Billy.
- [Leila] No.
- [woman] It would only be temporary.
[Leila] You're not taking Bilal.
[woman] Leila
we are only trying to help you.
- And do what's best for Bilal.
- [Leila] Help? Right.
- [man] We're here to help.
- [Jill] Yeah.
- [man] Not to complicate things.
- [Jill] Thank you.
- [man] Sure.
- Thanks, but, um
Yes, I think this is something
we need to get through on our own.
[Leila] Do you want them to take you away?
- [Billy] I didn't do anything.
- [Leila] Don't lie!
- I'm not lying.
- You're always lying to me!
Quit pretending!
Why do you act like this?
Why do you always cause problems?
It ends here.
Bilal, you got that?
Because I'm sick of this.
I'm going to work now.
Don't you dare leave the apartment.
Don't worry, okay?
It's not here.
- What?
- I don't know, it's not here!
Are you serious?
Ugh. Damn it, bro.
[Billy sighs]
We should tell the truth.
That's all we can do.
He'll get that it's not our fault
that the bag just disappeared.
[doorbell rings]
Yo, what's up?
Come in.
- Hey.
- Hey, guys.
- What's up?
- Hey, bro, your timing is perfect.
Look at this.
- Ah Nice.
- Gimme your arm.
Ahh
That's a hundred grand
on your arm. Cheer up!
[chuckles]
That bag, the one
we were supposed to hide
We hid it, but it's gone now.
What do you mean?
We hid it well, but someone took it.
[man 1] Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk.
- You trying to steal my guns?
- No. I swear it's the truth.
I can get it back to you or pay.
How you gonna pay? You gonna pay me back
with the money you earn from my stuff?
Do I look like a fucking idiot?
I don't think you
If I lose, you lose. Stay there.
I don't know.
How the fuck do you lose a gun?
- Bro, you gotta chill the hell out.
- Hey! Sit down.
Come here.
Come here!
- Hey!
- Hey bro, chill.
- Those boys are gonna sort it out.
- You stay out of this.
- Chill out, bro.
- I said shut up!
- They're kids, bro!
- Your age doesn't matter to me.
In this life, you're a fucking adult.
Huh? Who takes care of you out there?
Huh?
Fuck, I'm the reason
you make any money. Huh?
Who protects you on the streets?
It's Mehdi.
When you need fucking protection?
It's Mehdi.
Yeah, I guess we'll just
have to see how it goes.
- Go ahead, I'll take the next bus.
- [woman] Okay.
Hey, hey. Hey, hey, hey, hey.
- I'm sorry.
- It's okay.
[Billy crying] I'm so sorry.
- What happened? What is it?
- [Billy sobbing]
[somber music playing]
Bilal, it's all right.
It's okay.
I don't wanna be involved in all this.
I don't wanna be involved with Mehdi.
I promise I'll be good.
I swear.
- [sobbing]
- Hey
Hey, hey
Hey
[Farid] It won't be easy,
but we believe you can do it, Billy.
You really have to want this,
with all your heart.
- I do.
- Good.
It also means that you have to get clean,
totally clean.
You'll have to provide us
with regular test samples.
- Okay.
- Yeah?
You'll also have to
cut ties with all your old friends.
Even Douglas.
Okay.
Relax. Okay?
[ringtone playing]
Dogge on the phone?
Here.
Give it to me.
- [sighs]
- [keys beeping]
[doorbell rings]
[doorbell continues ringing]
[pounding on door]
- [doorbell rings]
- [Dogge] Billy!
Billy!
[somber music builds slowly]
Hey! Why aren't you answering?
Have I done something?
[pounding on door]
Just answer your fucking phone
when I call you!
[monitors beeping]
[ventilator hissing]
Sorry, I'll
I'll leave you alone.
[Farid sighs]
I spoke to Social Services this morning.
- All right.
- [Jill] Um
Douglas is no longer
under the care of the state?
Yeah, that's right. He's not.
Uh Certain decisions will
need to change regarding Dogge.
If he was under the care of the state,
Social Services would've taken care of it.
You mean they can't do it anyway?
You know it's not ideal
for Social Services to do it.
But it's okay for them
to dump all this mess on my plate?
- Jill
- I'm alone. How am I going to
Farid, how am I supposed to make all these
big decisions that Social Services won't?
I can't do it. I can't.
I'll give you some privacy.
[somber music builds slowly]
[Tusse] Mama?
Yeah, honey?
One second.
I can't do it.
- You're afraid. I understand.
- No, you don't get it.
I was the one who gave Billy the Glock.
Leila, what's going on?
Why don't you let me talk to him?
The only chance
to give you witness protection
is if he can tell us
something about the gun.
Otherwise, I don't have anything
that will tie Mehdi to the crime scene.
I need a witness.
- What about if I?
- If you what?
If I say I saw Mehdi
give the gun to Dogge.
You're talking about lying?
- Yeah.
- Not a chance.
- No. No.
- You said you'd help us.
I will help you, but this is not the way.
Why?
First of all, you're his guardian.
You're not even a credible witness.
[Leila] But my child
is a credible witness?
[Farid] In the eyes of the court, yes.
He is a credible witness.
I'm gonna win.
No, you're not.
What's up, Billy?
Get in the car. We're going for a ride.
I need to talk to you.
Yalla.
[Billy] Go home. I'll see you later.
Sorry, but he has to come too.
He's not coming.
What did he do?
Are you for real? I can't have him
running around talking shit.
He's coming.
[Dawit] Yalla, Billy, get in the car.
[somber music builds slowly]
This isn't on me.
It's your fault you didn't keep your word.
You and your fucking parents.
You don't decide when to leave.
I decide. Got it?
Get out, yalla.
Hurry up, man. Yalla.
Get out, man. Out, out, out, out.
Hold on. You just wait there.
- He'll see you soon. Yalla.
- Are you fucking deaf? Sit down.
Don't worry.
Listen, I'll be right back.
All right, all right.
Get in the car. Yalla.
Let's go, kid. Move it.
[Mehdi] Hey.
- [clattering]
- [gasping lightly]
All right.
- Are you filming this?
- Yeah, I got it.
[grunts]
- [panting]
- Come here.
[grunting]
[Mehdi] Hey.
Yalla, get out.
Yalla.
[distant whimpering]
[whimpering continues]
[distant sobbing]
Mama.
[sniffs]
Don't worry, sweetheart.
Don't be sad.
[sighs] It's fine.
I can do it.
I'll say I saw Mehdi
give the Glock to Dogge.
But that's a lie.
I don't want anything to happen to us.
Nothing is going to happen to you.
Do you hear me, sweetie?
[Leila] Bilal.
[somber music playing]
Tusane, go to your room.
Your room!
Who did this?
- What happened to you?
- It's fine.
- [gasps] Ow!
- What are you saying?
Listen, it looks worse than it is.
No, you listen!
I'm supposed to take care of you.
Not the other way around.
- You hear me? I protect you!
- Just stop!
You can't keep me safe.
You can't keep me safe.
[sighs deeply]
[imam] Listen Isak,
you can stay here as long as you want.
But try to get along.
[Isak in Arabic] God willing.
Peace be with you.
And with you.
[in English] How are you, Isak?
I'm fine.
Please, sit.
The kids are frightened.
And I'm frightened too.
But why? You've got
nothing to be afraid of.
All of it. I'm afraid for them.
And this neighborhood.
I have to get the kids out of here.
[Isak] Mm.
Leila, the children were born here.
This is where their home is.
You talk like it's easy
to move them away from here.
Well
If Tusane if he testifies
If he says that he saw Mehdi
give Dogge the gun,
the police say they'll give us
witness protection.
[Lana] Farid.
- Hey.
- Hi.
How'd it go with Tusse?
Uh It went well.
- Okay.
- Mm.
Svante's pestering me
regarding witness protection.
- We'll have to hold off on that.
- What happened?
- Oh, nothing. Don't worry.
- We can't afford to wait, Farid.
It's all a little complicated.
- No, it's not complicated at all.
- Lana
We should have locked up Mehdi
a long time ago. And Billy and Dogge.
Do you think Billy got off easy?
- No, that's not it.
- Then what is it?
- What are you saying?
- Take it easy!
You're the one saying that
we should lock up 14-year-olds.
It's better than letting them die.
[doctor] We're going
to try to wake your son.
We'll see how far we get,
it just depends on how he responds.
- [Jill] How long will I have to stay?
- [doctor] We'll see how this goes.
But if things go as expected,
Douglas will need your help
for the foreseeable future.
[pensive music playing]
[ventilator hissing]
[doctor] Let's wake up the patient.
Turning off midazolam,
morphine,
propofol
in that order.
Then we'll see what happens.
Jill, do you need anything?
Jill, where are you going?
I need to get some air.
[clippers buzzing]
[shop bell rings]
- [man] This is his place.
- [knocking]
Shit, bro.
- [tense music builds]
- [indistinct chattering]
[doorbell rings]
Hey. Is Mehdi home?
What do you want?
Is he back?
No.
[music intensifies]
[man whistles] Mehdi!
- What's up?
- How are you?
- Hey.
- It's been a while, yeah?
Yeah. How's it going?
We've been trying to reach you.
Didn't you hear?
The cops have been causing trouble.
- I was in jail.
- Yeah, we heard that.
- Yeah.
- You have plans now?
Just gonna make a pit stop is all.
- We'll drive you.
- Get in. We'll have a chat.
It's chilly.
[tense music builds]
[gunshots echoing]
[ethereal vocalizations rise]
[music fades out]
- Where we goin'?
- You're gonna talk to a guy over there.
Nothing serious. [sniffs]
[Mehdi] Like I said,
I'm not the guy you should be talking to.
It's those damn kids' fault.
One of them got popped.
It's really Dogge
you should be talking to, guys.
Man, we gave you one job.
One.
What happened?
Bro, the fuck do I know, man?
Speak to Dogge.
Now, who said anything about Dogge?
I'm here with you.
The task was assigned to you.
You were supposed to pop him.
He hasn't been popped.
What's going on? Did I miss something?
- [sighs] I need more time. I'll do it.
- I'm done waiting.
Oh, you need more time, bro?
You're just rambling, man.
I'm tired of this, you understand?
Anyways, where are those grenades, huh?
[Mehdi] I gave them to the kids.
- Bro, what's goin' on?
- See what you've gotten yourself into?
Look at yourself,
down on your knees out in the woods.
What's going on is that
you only have yourself to blame.
We trusted you,
and you try to fuck us over.
Out of everyone, you try to screw us over.
Huh?
Look at him.
Back up a little, bruh.
Whoa, hey, hey, hey.
Chill, chill, chill, chill, man
- There's no chill.
- Calm down, bro.
What do you think this is, you fuck?
Do you think we're idiots?
- We can work this out. I promise.
- Don't beg me, man. Beg God.
I told you, give me time, I'll handle it.
- What you gonna handle?
- It's already too late.
- He's a coward, bro.
- I beg you. Tell him to put his gun away.
Easy with that gun, bro.
Bro, tell him to put that gun away.
What the fuck?
Sorry. See ya.
- [gun clicks]
- [gasps]
[chuckles]
- Look at him.
- Ah, he's pathetic.
- Little shit.
- What a loser
[chuckling]
Listen, that dude still has to die,
and you owe us half a mil.
- You hear me?
- [Mehdi] Yeah, man.
Yeah, that's good.
God, what a fucking clown, this guy.
Man, I swear
Mehdi.
Quick question. How much do you owe us?
- [Mehdi] Half a mil.
- That's right.
Good that you know. Take care of yourself.
[Mehdi breathing shakily]
[guys chuckling]
[pulsing music builds in intensity]
[ventilator hissing]
[doctor 1] Okay,
I think he has elevated ICP.
- We need to move quickly.
- [doctor 2] 250 pento.
[doctor 1] Nothing's happening.
The pressure is increasing.
- [doctor 2] No response.
- [doctor 1] Let's sedate him again.
Try to decrease the pressure.
Both pressure and ICP are increasing.
[gunshot echoes]
[doctor 2] Let's check his pupils.
[doctor 1] Yeah, they're dilated.
[muffled underwater bubbling]
["Formidable" by Stromae playing]
[doctor 2] I'm sorry,
but I'm afraid I have bad news.
[music rises]
Mehdi.
- [grunting]
- Get up, you little fucking bitch.
What the fuck you doin'? [grunts]
- This is for Douglas!
- [grunts]
- This is for Billy!
- [grunting]
- Come on!
- Back off!
- Get your fucking hands off me!
- I know it was you!
Say it was you. Say it!
- Back off! Fucking pig!
- I know it was you who did it.
- Say it!
- What the fuck you talking about?
For real? Here!
- Come here, look at me. Look at me.
- Hey! Calm down!
- Come on! Say it was you!
- Look. I didn't do nothing!
Say it was you! Did you enjoy it?
Is this how you operate, piece of shit?
- Yo, you're fucking crazy.
- Fourteen-year-olds, huh?
- Let go of me! Hey!
- You let 14-year-olds do your dirty work?
- Do you?
- Hey, dude. You're fucking crazy.
Hey, hey, hey!
[boy] Mehdi!
["Formidable" continues]
["Formidable" continues]
[crying softly]
["Formidable" continues]
[Farid] What's going on?
["Formidable" fades out]
