[slow atmospheric music playing]
[panting continues]
[man] Lana.
- Hey.
- Hey. What happened?
A kid's been shot.
Do we know who it is?
Who is it, Lana?
[EMT] Hold him there.
Easy, easy. Be careful.
Make sure you keep the IV up.
All right. We're good here.
He's stable. All clear.
Prepare for a fast transport
to the emergency room.
Bi Bilal?
- Can you hear me? It's me, Farid.
- I need you to move.
- Okay.
- We have to go now.

Douglas
What the hell have you done?
Douglas?
Douglas?
Calling me Douglas?
What's wrong with that?
Isn't that your name, Douglas?
Mm?
Well, only when you're mad at me.
Are you mad at me, Farid?
What happened?
Dogge, what happened to Bilal?
Huh?
[Dogge] Nothing.
[Farid] Nothing?
Why are you washing clothes
in the middle of the night?
Douglas, wake up.
Stay awake. Hey! Here. [snapping]
[slow, pensive music playing]
[doorbell ringing]
[doorbell rings]
Mama.
What's going on?
- The doorbell's ringing.
- I'm coming.
Go to bed.
- [doorbell ringing]
- Yeah, yeah.
It's most likely your dad.
[sighs deeply]
- [doorbell rings]
- Yeah, yeah.
[sighs]
Hi, Leila. My name is Lana.
This is my colleague Sebastian.
We need to come inside and talk to you.
Isak moved out.
It's not about Isak. It's about Billy.
Billy's sleeping. Please come back later.
I'm afraid something
has happened to Billy.
Bilal is sleeping.
He's not sleeping.
Bilal is in the hospital. He's been shot.
Do you understand what I'm saying?
- Can you interpret?
- She understands.
She doesn't need an interpreter.
He said he was tired and
What's going on?
Your daughter may come along
as an interpreter if
I don't need an interpreter. Call Farid.
Okay. Bilal is in the hospital,
so we have to go there now.
My colleague will stay here
with your kids.
Go to bed. All of you.
Okay? [kisses]
Get some sleep, hmm?
Don't worry.
Go to bed now.
Go. Go
Go on now.
[Sebastian] Hm.
- [woman] I don't know. I was sleeping.
- [man] Understood. Anything else?
Hey, sorry. May I? I just need
a couple minutes to have a word with her.
- Go ahead.
- Thanks.
Jill, I just want to update you
on the situation.
This is what's going on.
Douglas will be taken away.
Hospital first for an examination,
and then to the station for questioning.
Understand?
How long will you be here?
We'll be here a while.
Jill?
Jill?
Did Douglas tell you anything
about where he was going tonight?
No?
Hm.
You may continue.
Lift your foot, Dogge.
Good.
Okay.
Stand up.
Dogge, stand up.
Okay.
[somber string music plays]
Douglas?
Douglas?
[music stops]
Come, let's go.

Hi. Svante, Major Crimes.
Hi. Farid.
- So I'll be leading this investigation.
- Yeah, I heard that.
Suspect's in the interview room
along with Social Services.
I heard Major Crimes wants
to interrogate him, but I can do it.
Oh, you know these boys
from before, don't you?
Yeah, that's the thing.
I've known them since
they were like seven, eight years old.
- Okay. So what do we got?
- The victim's name is Bilal Ali.
He grew up with his mother
and three siblings in Våringe.
Their dad moved out.
The suspect's name is Douglas Arnfelt,
Dogge, from Rönnviken.
Billy and Dogge, Bilal and Douglas,
they've known each other
since they were small.
So, he shot his best friend?
That's what it seems like.
Okay. Do we have any idea
what the motive might have been?
That's what's tricky.
They belonged to the same faction.
They ran errands for a small-time gangster
named Mehdi Bah.
That being said
Bilal eventually grew tired of it.
A couple months ago, he got out.
You think this was
some sort of punishment for leaving?
It'd be a severe escalation in that case.
We haven't observed Mehdi
doing anything like this before now.
Okay. Uh, one more thing.
We also have to check with Billy's contact
and see if the family was ever
under threat because of him getting out.
[clears throat]
I was the family's contact person.
I haven't used anything. If the tests
aren't clean, it's not my fault.
Okay
Ay ay, ay, ay.
What?
- It looks perfect. Well done.
- [chuckles]
- You think you're funny?
- Of course I do. Sit down.
I was just kidding. It looks great.
Well done.
You should be proud.
[tapping desk]
Has Dogge tried to contact you at all?
- He doesn't have my new number.
- Good.
Mehdi?
How's Bilal?
They were still operating
when I left the hospital.
What'd I miss, Lana?
I was positive that he was
out of harm's way after he had
It's just I don't think I can
look Leila in the eye again after this.
Did you know Billy was going away?
Huh? No, when?
There were packed bags in the hallway.
Leila said he was going to visit family.
- Did she say why?
- No.
But she said he's staying clean
and following the program.
Was he?
- Was he what?
- Really staying clean?
Was he staying clean? [scoffs]
Come on. What are you saying?
That it was his own fault?
It's an important question to ask.
You said we overlooked something, right?
[somber music playing]
[doctor] You can have
a moment alone with Bilal.
[somber music builds]
[sobbing softly]
[Sebastian] Yes, good. Bye.
My colleagues are gonna search the house,
which means you can't be here.
- Did they say anything about Billy?
- I don't have any new information.
So get changed and pack whatever you need.
Transport will pick you up soon.
Go pack your things.
[sighs]
[music turns ominous]
[phone vibrating]
- Billy?
- Shh. Bro, what is it?
- Where are you going?
- Got some business to handle.
I'll be back soon.
Don't worry, okay?
Thirty minutes tops, all right?
Yeah? Go to sleep.
[ominous music intensifies]
[music fades out]
[camera beeps]
Dogge, you will be assigned
a public defender. A lawyer.
But it's already pretty late.
So it'll have to wait
until tomorrow morning.
- I'm not gonna need a lawyer.
- You won't?
- I'm a child. You can't put me in prison.
- [Farid] Who told you that?
Has Mehdi told you that?
You can't arrest me,
so why don't you just send me back home?
You're not allowed home.
No?
- No.
- I'm sleeping here?
In jail?
[man 1] We're looking
into where to place you.
You are looking into where to place me?
Yes, we're looking at
foster homes for you.
[Farid] There's no use playing it tough.
It won't pay off.
- I wanna know where I'll be staying, bro.
- You'll find out as soon as we know.
But I need you to be honest
with me right now, all right?
Yeah.
What were you doing at Rönnvik Bath?
I haven't been to Rönnvik Bath.
- Who told you to go there?
- I have no idea, since I was never there.
Don't you want to know
what's going on with Billy?
Don't you want to know how he's doing?
He's your best friend.
Is it hard to talk about?
Your dad, I know
that he really liked Billy.
Didn't he?
Right?
Your dad liked Billy, didn't he?
Sit down! Sit down.
- [man 1] Okay. Okay. Easy.
- [Farid] Sit down, Douglas.
I know.
Wouldn't your father
have wanted to know about Billy?
I think he would have wanted to know.
You can't do anything.
I'm a child. You can't put me in prison.
We're going to explain to you
what is going to happen.
Wait until I leave to shut it down.
[doctor 1] No one needs to be here,
unless they want to.
[doctor 2] This is
what's gonna happen next.
We will start by
shutting down the ventilator.
- And then
- Don't you touch him.
Calm down. Calm down.
Relax. Calm down, all right.
It's your fault.
He wouldn't be lying there
if I was still around.
But you let this happen.
We talked on the phone.
And how many times did I tell you
that the kids miss and need you?
Who threw me out?
Who put my stuff outside the door?
Huh? I wanted to stay!
I've been the mother
and father for these kids.
You shut your mouth!
I did everything you asked of me.
I'm the one who spoke with the imam.
I'm the one who gave these thieves money.
- Don't bullshit me.
- Now I have no money left!
You guys!
We'll go with him.
Me too.

Dogge
Bilal is dead.
- What?
- Mm-hmm.
Billy has left us. He's gone.
[breathing shakily]
Dogge?
Dogge?
[breathing sporadically]
It's all right.
This This is just anxiety.
It will pass.
I think it's time you tell us
what happened tonight.
[man 1] Dogge? Try to
- Don't touch me.
- Okay.
Easy.
[Dogge] Don't sit there.
Okay. No one needs to touch you,
if you don't want them to.
Bill Billy is dead?
Yes, unfortunately.
He died in the hospital.
He's there with his family.
Can you tell us what happened tonight,
for his family's sake?
- No, just
- Dogge
If you won't speak with me,
then I can't help you. Simple as that.
- It It wasn't me.
- There's blood on your shoes.
The clothes you put
in the washing machine.
That, and we have your 911 call.
Come on, Douglas.
I I didn't do it.
You know what? It's up to you. So
Then there's nothing I can do for you.
Understand?
Okay, we're done. Come on.
We're done.
It It was Mehdi.
- [door shuts]
- [Farid] Douglas, what did you say?
It It was Mehdi.
[Farid] Okay.
Tell me about Mehdi.
He said that Billy had to go.
So So I just did as he said.
It's It's not my fault.
[tense music plays]
- How come I've never heard of Mehdi?
- [Farid] Because he's a nobody.
None of this makes sense. He did some time
for assault and possession, nothing more.
If he's involved in contract killing,
he's clearly not that harmless.
- Address?
- Registered at his mom's place.
But we know of a few
other locations he can be found.
[Svante] Okay. Send patrols to all of 'em.
[tense music builds slowly]
[man 1] Where should I place Dogge now? I
I can't place him with a family.
He He needs protection.
Can't you just put him
in juvenile detention?
[doorbell rings]
[tense music continues]
Good work.
Now go.
Bro, it's slow today,
but we're freezing our asses off.
He's coming. He's on his way.
Yalla. Stay safe, huh.
Our priority is to find Mehdi.
Lana, think you can meet up with SWAT?
Yes.
- I'll background check detention centers.
- [Svante] Good.
I was thinking that I could help
Sebastian with the background checks.
[Svante] You can print
the interview and get it signed
before they send Douglas away.
I see. But all due respect,
I know these kids.
[sighs] Farid
Farid, you know how many times
I've nailed someone for incitement before?
Zero. Zero, that's how many.
But right now we have a chance
to nail them, for real.
And I will not waste that chance.
[mid-tempo somber music plays]
- Police!
- Police! Police!
- He's waiting in the car.
- [Mehdi] Good.
- Police!
- Police!
- Police!
- Police!

We need to find your son.
Do you know where he might be?
[in Wolof] We need to find your son.
Do you know where he is?
Why are they asking?
[in English] She wants to know
why you're asking.
We just need to find him. That's it.
- [in Wolof] They need to find your son.
- What do they think he has done?
[man in English]
What do you think he's done?
Um, he's still registered here.
Does she know where he might be?
[in Wolof] Do you know where he is?
I don't know. He doesn't tell me anything.
[man in English] She doesn't know.
He doesn't tell her anything.
Okay. And there's no other address
where we could find him?
[in Wolof] Is there
any other place he might be?
I don't know.
I don't know. I don't know.
[man in English] She has no idea.
Okay. Thanks.
[in Wolof] Take it easy. It will be fine.
Thank you.
[tense music builds slowly]
Yalla.
Take it easy.
What's up?
[music turns mournful]
[Farid] Dogge,
this is tonight's interview.
[music stops]
It's been typed up, and you are
very welcome to go through it first.
Then we need you to
sign here when you're done, okay?
Thanks, Douglas.
Can I go home now?
[inhales deeply]
[man 1] The most important thing to us
right now, Douglas, is your safety.
["Keep the Streets Empty for Me"
by Fever Ray playing]
That's why we at Social Services,
together with the police,
have decided that the best thing for you
is to be placed in juvenile detention.
We can control
your surroundings there, 24/7.
See you later, Dogge.
[man 1] We've looked at various options,
and found one that we think will be great.
It's far enough away from here,
in a different district.

[man 2] What's the most important thing?
