Intercept him on the upper part of Blåbärsbacken hill.

Back out of here! Fast as hell!

What was that?

Amphetamines again. Four bags.

-And you still don't have any clues? -It seems to come from here in town.

-Nothing missing in the medicine cabinets? -No, I can't imagine there is.

But we'll check if you want, of course.

I think it's someone here in town manufacturing it.

If we get the slightest hint, we'll take that bastard.

Let's see, hydrocarbon...

-How much do we have? -About 100 grams.

-Can we afford that? -Don't worry.

Chemistry is probably the best and most fun class you have, right?

-It's great. -It seems like it.

Seven As and nine Bs.

That has to be a new European record. And you too - you might actually make it!

This is incredible.

-Conny. There's a party tonight. -Yes, I know.

-Do you have the stuff? -What stuff?

-The fireworks! -No! I forgot all about it.

-Damn it, Conny! -Hey...

Hello? Can we come in?

One moment!

-Hush. Stop now. -Can we come in?

Sorry to disturb you in the middle of class.

But we have Hans Ekelund here visiting from the school board.

This is about the vandalism in the city's schools

which we all find terribly disturbing.

Can't we promise each other to stop nonsense like

graffiti in the toilet stalls, smashed lamps, and...

...broken windows.

THE PURPLE BROTHERHOOD

So surrounded by these Purple Brothers, who are the pillars of our society

in this, our Purple Brotherhood temple, you are hereby inaugurated

in the Purple Brotherhood so that you will constantly strive

to follow the paths of truth and justice in your social work.

You should also carry with you the realization that we Purple Brothers

support each other and give each other strength and help

on the path of life that we Purple Brothers walk.

Hello there! Well, you hear that drug story...

We at the magazine think it's getting to be a little too embarrassing for you.

Unless you get them.

Everything is under control. I have appointed an inquiry.

No, seriously...

We got a hot tip today. We'll have him at any moment.

-Him? Who is it? -You can read that in the newspaper.

Oh, you!

Freeze!

Down on the floor!

What the hell is this about?

Five years... at least.

Hjelm!

You have a new arrival.

I tried, but I couldn't do anything.

This is Conny Rundqvist. You can show him how it all works, right?

-Rundqvist? -Yup.

Gränges.

Are you going to show him how it works?

How it works...?

Hi!

Mr. Jackoff!

No major damage incurred. It's just a pure formality.

You relax. I will apply for a new trial. I'll probably come up with something.

-Look what they write! Drug teacher. -You know how the newspapers are.

You still have to agree that the evidence is very powerful.

Amphetamines throughout the apartment, addresses to dealers, acetone...

-Acetone? I'm doing... -The authorities always take their time.

But it will probably be fine. You're not suffering in here.

There are a lot of activities here, so you might even make some friends.

Some new friends.

Apples are healthy, Jackoff!

-Shut up out there! -Come on, Jackoff. Show your stuff.

-I said, shut up! -No, I don't have time right now.

-Fucking chicken! -I'll kill you, you bastard!

Do you like it, Jackoff? Do you like it?

Rundqvist! Rundqvist...?

What am I-- what am I doing?

Watch this now, maybe you'll learn something.

-Has anyone seen Rundqvist? -Idiot.

Fucking shit!

Hello?

Rundqvist!

Rundqvist?

Rundqvist?

-Rundqvist? -Yes.

Aha.

-Well, regarding your application... -Yes?

It wasn't approved, you know.

Nope. No new trial.

Rejected!

-Why don't you calm down? -Me? Calm down?

These are almost the same ingredients.

Acetone is also used in fertilizers, which is what I am working on!

Conny... wouldn't it be easier to admit everything?

-Then we can apply for leniency. -You're not listening.

A person or maybe several people have been aware of basically what I am doing

and framed me to move suspicion away from themselves.

-It's obvious! -Stop it, Rundqvist. Stop!

You're not in L.A., nor in a TV detective show.

-This is so ridiculous! -He's taking the fall for someone else.

-That doesn't happen. -Yes, it certainly can.

It can happen exactly like that.

-What the hell was wrong with him? -He says he's innocent.

Who the hell isn't?

-Ouch, damn it! -Are you going to scald us, you bastard?

-What the hell? -I didn't mean it.

This is not true. I'm not here. I can't be.

This isn't true, so I'm not here. And if I'm here, it isn't me.

Stand up.

I said, stand up!

-You're going to die now, fucker! -Damn it! Are you crazy?

If you stop, I can tell you how to get out of here!

-Fucking bullshit! -There's an exit in the drying cabinet.

-It goes all the way out. -How the hell did he find that out?

Let go! It's true, I swear! There's a way out. Through the drying cabinet!

-What do we do now? -I said he shouldn't be left alone.

-I thought you'd be happy! -If we kill him, how do we dump the body?

-He'll talk, of course! -What do we do with him?

-Drown him in the washbasin? -No, damn it. I know.

-We take him in as a slave. -What the hell are you talking about?

We've said it before, we need another.

-And this one's free. -Pege, what do you mean?

Do you understand how damned useful this tunnel has been?

-The tunnel... -Everyone thinks we're inside.

-Well, aren't we? -Are you dumb?

We run in and out as we please. It is the world's best alley bee.

-Alibi. -Right. As long as no one recognizes us.

Put this on.

-At least try to look a little normal. -Can I see another brand?

-Hello. I want to see a watch. -One of these, perhaps?

No, but over in the far corner, there's something.

-Should it be a special brand? -Yes, if you would. It's for my wife.

That one, Jackoff.

-But, Hjördis... -Damn, Jackoff.

You look like Princess Christina.

Come on now. Take it.

Come on. Hurry up.

-Oops. Maybe one of these? -No, a bit too expensive. Thank you.

You can't just take things like that! Thanks for letting us borrow it.

Good, Jackoff. You did very well. The first time is always the worst.

You're going to be a pro. Now, let's see what else we need.

-What are we going to do with all this? -Nothing is left to chance here.

A job like this takes a hell of a lot of planning. Timing! Do you understand?

-Hjelm does a good job with that. -Hjelm? I am involved, too!

Take the lamp heist or the calves! I was the one who called.

See that black roof over there with the chimneys?

Do you see that smoke? You know what that smoke is?

Ten million a day!

The mint could give me some instead of burning the money!

And what's so damned smart is that it's money that can't be traced.

The banks send old banknotes there without noting the numbers.

Come on, Jackoff. This is a fun ride.

-So the money truck comes... -No, no. They stop there!

They're there, and then you say in the walkie-talkie when the truck is coming.

As it approaches the roadwork, the guys are there, putting a tent around it.

-Yes, the tent. Yes. -What the hell, Jackoff?

If you're dealing with tear gas and guns, you don't want to be seen. Get it?

Be seen!

Open it, will you? We put the stuff in the booth like we usually do.

-You took care of this nicely, Jackoff. -Nice to be home again.

This one was easy. It gets harder tonight.

How are you doing, Jackoff?

Jackoff, carry these to the car!

-Damn, Jackoff! -Will you hurry up, damn it?

What's the matter?

I'm not as dumb as those other idiots.

If the cops show up, it won't be hard to figure out who squealed.

Give me just one little reason, just one, and I'll cut out your tongue!

Cut it out!

Okay, you bastards. Sternberg called from Stockholm today.

It's getting urgent. The mint is about to move the entire facility to Västerås.

-Oh, that's just great! -So where is it located now?

Shut up!

They were going to move last month, but there was some problem.

So fuck knows when they're closing.

Best to take that fucker tomorrow if it's so damned urgent.

No, we can't afford to take chances.

We do this on Thursday.

Tomorrow we time everything.

We tail the truck here with the Volvo, so we're sure they take this route.

Norinder and Gränges watch here.

Jackoff stands here with a watch to get the exact time.

-He should be able to handle that. -I don't know about that.

Oh, I can tell time. For instance, right now, it's five of.

Watch out for the vehicle! Watch out!

-How are you? -Are you injured?

Should we call the doctor?

What the hell?

-Is it broken? -It was him.

-Are you certain you're not injured? -Hey!

You there! Stay until the police arrive. Wait!

What the hell? You have to stay until the police arrive!

Wait! Don't run!

Hey, wait!

Stop, you bastard!

Stop!

Stop, you could fall!
