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.

I can see that you're scared.

Just show the phone

to his brother,

and then you can go.

That's it.

Then we never have

to speak to each other again.

Where's your brother?

Yannick's checking it out.

Listen, I called Abdi's brother

and he couldn't stick around.

He's over at Odin's Square.

Odin's Square?

But we just passed it.

Shouldn't we have seen him?

I said Gamlestad's Square

What?

You said Odin's Square.

I said Gamlestad's Square, right?

Yeah, he did.

No, you said Odin's Square...

Hey, he said

Gamlestad's Square!

No...

Are you saying I'm deaf'?

Maybe you misheard him.

You did!

Abdi,

cool it!

You think he's coming along

if you act like this?

Sh*t! Cool it!

He didn't say Odin's Square.

Just get off his case!

Where are you going?

What are you laughing at?

He's a retard!

He just got it wrong, all right?

I said Gamlestad's Square!

What's going on?

What are you doing?

Just take the phone.

Put it away.

Do you think we're gonna steal it?

He thinks we're gonna mug him.

My brother was mugged!

Put it away...

Oh, sh*t!

Sh*t...

Hey, what are you doing?

Attention please:

Another reminder

about the cradle.

I have moved

the cradle to the space

between 1st and 2nd class.

But it can't stay there,

due to safety reasons.

No luggage

or the like is to block

passages and vestibules.

So please, whoever owns this cra...

So, whoever owns this CRADLE,

please contact the staff.

You guys live around here?

No.

I live pretty far away, too.

What's your name?

Alex.

And yours?

"Achmed".

Do you go to the same school?

We play on the same soccer team.

What team?

IFK Goteborg.

OK.

I used to play soccer,

but I don't anymore.

Look, it's Pippi Longstocking...

Sorry, I didn't mean

to scare you.

What are you listening to?

Music.

Like what?

Different stuff...

Pippi Longstocking?

So what...? Excuse me

What are you listening to?

Aswad.

Ashwood? What the hell is that?

Kind of like Bob Marley

I see...

Are you from Jamaica?

No.

Where are you from?

Herrljunga.

I'm from Herrljunga.

He's from Herrljunga.

Gentlemen s Jungle

Can I listen?

No. Let go.

Please, I can't afford one of my own.

Poor me! Please...

All right.

Cool... That's good.

What did it sound like?

Like that.

Give me my earphones.

OK, if you sing like this...

Give them to me!

Can you sing like that?

Try!

Just give me my earphones...

No, not like that.

With an A, not an.

Get up,

let the whole tram hear you!

Get it?

Your dreads swinging...

swaying...

Then I get my earphones back?

Yeah. Do it with feeling!

Again, do it again...

Give me my earphones.

Kevin, come here!

What is it?

Three guys

with Marcus' sister over there.
