Synopsis: An astute observation based on real cases of bullying. In central Gothenburg, Sweden, a group of boys, aged 12-14, robbed other children on about 40 occasions between 2006 and 2008. The thieves used an elaborate scheme called the 'little brother number' or 'brother trick', involving advanced role-play and gang rhetoric rather than physical violence.

Exactly, just relax for a while.

We can't leave John out there.

No, I know.

They want to talk to you, Sebastian.

Why?

I don't know.

They want to ask you something.

What do they want to ask?

I don't know...

They want to ask you something

and then we can go.

Can't you ask what they want?

Seriously, come on!

Let's get it over with.

And then we'll go.

Here they come now.

They're coming...

Can I look at your phone?

Can I look at your phone?

I want to check something.

If I get it back...

Just let him look at it!

You'll get it back, retard!

Do I look like a thief?

Look, the same scratches...

Yes.

Where were you last weekend?

At home, why?

Don't lie to me!

My brother was robbed and

he had a phone just like this one

But that one's mine.

Don't lie.

Hey, you don't know he did it.

Prove that it's your phone!

How can he...

You can't ask him to prove it.

Prove it's yours!

I have a receipt...

Got the receipt on you, dummy?

Calm down, Abdi!

It's worthless now, anyway.

You don't know he's guilty.

Don't judge him!

Right...

All because

it's a similar phone.

Phone your brother.

Yes, I'll go and phone him.

Can I have it?

Got any other proof?

What?

Do you have any other proof?

I don't think so.

The receipt is the only proof?

He wouldn't carry that around.

I didn't say he did!

Take it easy!

I'm just saying...

Go to Abdi instead.

No.

You can't just judge him like this

There's photos...

Do you think I'm an idiot?

Anybody can take pictures!

Stop it, please!

Sorry about that,

our friends have a temper...

I can tell them

I was with you.

I was with him when he bought it.

Look,

I believe you guys...

But we need to settle this.

Just listen, OK?

I understand your point,

and all...

But just do this, OK?

I talked to my brother and

we're going to show him the phone.

He'll say if it's his.

I'm not going.

I don't want to go.

Then stay!

I'll take the phone to him.

Your choice!

Abdi... Cool it, OK?

You have a better option?

Cool it!

Is that all you can say?

Shut up.

Is that all you can say?

Shut up, OK?

Don't talk back!

Shut up!

Will shouting

get you anywhere?

Do you think he'll do it

if you scare him?

Do you think he'll do it

if you shout at him?

But he's just saying...

Shut up!

He keeps saying the same thing!

Let him talk!

Kevin, shut up.

Why can't he come here?

He's scared, you idiot!

He was mugged.

Sure, it was a stupid question

but that's enough!

Let me talk to him!

What a stupid question!

Shut up!

Sebastian, listen to me.

Your name is Sebastian, isn't it?

It won't take a minute.

None of us

wants trouble.

It's really important to him

because it's his brother.
