" The bike thief?" "Not so loud!" " What's he like?" " Tall, dark, and mysterious." " Are you always so stubborn?" " Yes." "Martin!" "Do something, Mikala!" " Mikkel, this is Martin." " Hi, Mikkel." "Do you like spinach?" "Spinach?" "I love it." "I want to be a father." "The mum'll be a lesbian, of course." " Which one?" " Her." " She's got a big nose." " So?" "So nothing." " What's that?" " About my book." "Hi." "This is my daughter Anna and my grandson Mikkel." " She's fit." " She's 27." " Great." "So he's having sex." " Exactly." "We've always competed, you and me." "Mikkel!" " Back off or I fire." " What will you give me, then?" " Information about a cop." " Which cop?" "You're on the course." "At Scotland Yard." "If you pass you'll join the negotiator team." " I am proud of you." " What?" "TV 2 presents" "We have a Jaguar parked at a bus stop on Victor Borge Place." "We'll check it out." "It's metallic blue." "XRP 42776." "We are at the scene." "Jag drivers think they own the place." " Yep, the rich are bastards." " They should park properly." " When do you leave the beat?" " The negotiation stuff is extra." " So they can call you any time." " I have pass the course first." "Do be careful." "What are you doing?" "No!" "Get out of the way." "I'll just borrow this." " Switch to channel 79." " Come in please." " I'm on Ribe Street." " We're chasing a bag snatcher." "Do you need assistance?" " KGB's onto him." "On a push bike." "Tell him to go carefully." "It's slippery." "I am on Gustav Adolph Way, Kim." " Are you OK?" " Who taught you to drive?" " My legs did well there." " Because you were on wheels." " Are you off your rocker?" " You are under arrest." " This is 205." "Come in." "205?" "We've got a passenger." "Anna speaking." "Yes?" "OK." "I'll be right with you." "A hostage situation   at the Ukrainian Embassy." "Step on it." "Fuck!" "Anna, here's an update." "Leonid Kalinko is a Russian mafioso." "He and a comrade were detained at Copenhagen Airport four days ago." "But he escaped to the Ukrainian Embassy   where he is holding a security guard hostage." "He wants his comrade released." "He is in the Embassy Basement." "We are ready to go in." "Exercise over" "You can do much better than that." "Yes." "He was impossible to talk to." " Troels Hojer, Action Command." " Daniel Nordschöft, Swedish Police." " Hi, Anna ... you left me no choice." " I know." "I said "hostage"." "It's not that ..." " I need some air." " We're coming out." " What happened?" " I tried to eyeball him." "You were far too much part of that dialogue; you narrowed his options." ""I am your only chance"." "It made him even more desperate." " Yes." "I was gambling." " Very brave of you." " Well, you were playing hard." " What did you expect?" "We chose a personality who would refuse to be analyzed." " But what else could you have done?" " Changed the subject." "Again." "Yes." "You want to show how clever you are, and that's your problem." " Two ears, one mouth." " Listen twice as much as I talk." "I daren't put you on the team yet." "I agree." "Good luck." "We thought you'd be pissed off if we got you flowers now." "You'll have to make do with a humbug." "Thanks." "How sweet!" "You did well to get this far." "What went wrong?" "It was my own fault." "The Swedish "hostage taker" got me to go out on a limb." " I couldn't get back." " Those Swedes are nasty." "You'll pass next time." "On the beat tomorrow then?" "Yes." "Thanks." " Piss it!" " Yes." "But we've a surprise for you." "Your dad." "He's been waiting for two hours." "My dad thinks exams are there to be passed." " Go on." " You've got your interview too." "Yes." "With the Chief Inspector." "They've known for years that I want senior rank." "Or I'll just turn to crime." "Good luck." " I failed." " All the more reason for a drink." "Not until I pass." "Just be pleased it didn't go so easily." "When they do pass you, it'll be for real." " I know." " Your nose is out of joint." "They should've passed you just because you're the best in the class." "I am annoyed because I tried to play the psychologist." "I often made the same mistake." "When's your next shot at it?" "I don't know ..." "Maybe it's not my cup of tea." "You've been to Scotland Yard and read loads of books; why drop out now?" "Why are you in such a good mood?" "Maybe because my book is coming out next week." "I think it'll be a hit." " Right!" " Anna ..." "At first I thought you were too sensitive for the police." "But once you figure out how to use that sensitivity you'll be the best." "You have applied for the inspector's course before." "How do you feel about what happened?" "The shooting?" " I've put it behind me." " Mikala had counselling." "Your annual reviews are really good." "But this course costs a lot of money." "We have to be sure you're the right choice." "Mikala is stable and displays excellentjudgment on the beat." "But I do have to ask you ..." " Why do you want senior rank?" " I want to move on." "And not to end up an old lady in a patrol car." "You?" "Most unlikely!" " We do need more female inspectors." " If that's my only qualification ..." "I'm sure we'll fit you in." " Nice one, Mikala!" " A bit Off?" "No." "He likes you." "We're going to give you some homework to do." "Then you'll rotate in various functions for a few months." "It'll be about a year before we really put you in charge." " Isn't that your son?" " Yes, so it is." "Hi, Tobias, hi, Claes." "What's up?" " Payment for school camp next week." " OK.Now?" " I have to pay by 4 o'clock." " Why didn't you ask dad?" "I couldn't get hold of him." "I need DKK 250." "I haven't got that much cash on me." "And didn't dad give it to you last week?" "Sure?" "Perhaps we'd better phone him?" "Shall we ask him if he gave you any money?" "No." "Come with me." "Not you, Claes." "Dad gave you that money last week." "What did you spend it on?" "At an internet cafe." " Why lie to me?" " You lie to me, too." "Don't talk to me like that." "You'd better pull your socks up." " Why are you freaking out?" " Why do you think?" "You thought you could trick me out of DKK 250." " Was it Claes's idea?" " What are you talking about?" "You know very well." "This isn't like you at all." "Run along home." "Without Claes." "And I'll phone dad to check." "Beat it!" "Come on, Claes." " Are you OK?" " I'm fine." "Hey!" "Hi, mum!" "Martin said I could ride his motorbike." " I bet he did!" " He did, too." "I heard the news but anyway ..." "How sweet of you!" "Did you do Jan's shopping?" "Let us in, will you?" " Isn't he seeing that ..." " Therese?" " Yes, that relaxation person." " That was Katrine." "Therese is a journalist and they're seeing the midwife this week." "So she's potential lesbian mother number 3 after Karen or what?" " He should have his sperm checked." " You are horrid!" " Can I have my ice lolly?" " Yes, when I've found it." "Hi, Jan." " Ice lollies on a Monday?" " They were cheap." "I expect it'll be all right though." "As long as you pull him off the ceiling to put him to bed." " I know, I know." " Yes." "And you know I don't want to be his boring old mum   so you can be Mr. Fun Guy." "He is my child after all ..." "And this is my apartment." "And this is what's left of my organic apple juice." " It costs DKK 30 a litre." " I'll get you a new one." "Whose turn was it to do the cleaning this week?" "See what I found?" " It was my turn." " Mikkel, put your bag away." "If the two of you can't stick to what we agree on you'll have to move out." " What's up?" " I can't be your mother." "Because   I am going to be a dad." " You what?" " Therese had her 12 week check-up." "It's there." " It's alive and well." " How fantastic!" "I think it's a girl." "Congratulations!" "You need some flowers." " What's that disgusting thing?" " A good question ..." " I think it's mine." " So do I." "Mikkel, I'm going to be a daddy." "Mikkel, go to sleep!" "Goodnight!" "Close your eyes!" " See what I found in the fridge?" " No, Martin." "Not now." " You need it more now." " No." "We'll drink it on a good day." " Anna?" " Yes." " I love you." " I love you, too." "Despite not making it as a negotiator?" " I didn't hear that." " Not yet." " I'm sorry about the ice lolly." " Never mind that." "Hurrah, Jan's put a bun in Therese's oven." "And don't forget it's his organic apple juice at DKK 30 a litre." " He's right, though." " Yes, it does cost DKK 30." "This flat isn't geared to us, Mikkel, and a gay single with a baby." "I'm living out of three plastic bags and your toothbrush is at my place." "Why don't we just stay in our own place?" "What are you trying to tell me?" "Anna Pihl ..." "will you come and live with me?" "Yes, I'd like that." " Did that hurt?" " Yes." "But I'd love to." "Just joining us from Police College:" "Esben, Nicolai and Karim." "Esben, you'll be patrolling with Allan, " " Nicolai with David, and Karim, you'll be with Anna today." " That's me." " I bet he knows the inner city." "Welcome to the station." "I hope you settle in with this lot." "They're bastards but they mean well." "Have a good shift." "Coming?" "Yes." "Kim, I hear you're modelling underwear for a health food firm?" "Louise has given me these organic undies." "The other guys saw them." "Give me a break!" "If I didn't accept her presents I wouldn't love her." "... torches, walkie-talkies ..." "Car keys from the desk sergeant." "Are we meant to dress alike on patrol?" "Preferably." " How old are you, Karim?" " 23 in August." "You'll need to check up on the new procedures." " Detaining suspects, section 573." " Yes." "Do read what it says." ""If less intrusive means of averting danger are unavailable   officers may detain" etc. etc. etc." ""The police must ..."" " Did you make a bet or something?" " Isn't it ourjob?" "Yep ..." "I can tell you'll be driving!" "Let me tell you about Bellahoj." "Copenhagen has four districts." "Bellahoj is the biggest." "We've got the toffs on Ryvang Avenue." "And Mr and Mrs Denmark in Vanlose." "And all that ethnic stuff in Norrebro." "You sound as if you're having trouble getting the words out." "And you're surprised I know the rules." "I don't know anyone who knows them by heart." "I was the best in my year at police college; at Danish, too." "I don't know any yardies." "OK?" " Do you meet much discrimination?" " No." "Do you?" "OK, 1 nil to you!" "We have an unwanted junkie in the Seven Eleven on Jernbane Avenue." "We'll take it." "Move along." "The excitement's over." "I'm not talking DKK 100." "Just 2." "I want some ciggies." " Here's the change." " Police." "What?" "You called the cops?" "Hey, I asked you a question." " Calm down." "You're frightening her." " Will you step outside?" " Yes, but not without 10 cigarettes." " You can't beg here." "Come on." "205." "Request for information." "205 here." "209 asks if you need assistance with your unwanted junkie." "I wasn't begging." "I was asking for a loan." " What do you think?" " He's asked all my customers." "Danes are so mean, man." "Tight." "Like your shoes." "I didn't know Ecco did size 37 for men." " Very funny." "Come on." " I'll go in my own time." " Ouch." " You're bleeding." " It wasn't my fault." " No." "Just beat it." " You should be more careful." " Cut it out." " I said I'd make my own way out." " I'll have him removed, OK?" "Station?" "Come in." " Station ..." " He was just showing off." " But it was a weird thing to say." "205 needs assistance at Jernbane Ave.; an officer has been injured." "That's Kim and Mikala." "Station, we're on our way." "Relax." "Watch the cyclist." "Free passage." "He's right behind us." " Hell ..." " You're doing fine." "Go round him." "Pass him on the inside." "Turn right." "Nice driving, Karim." "The junkie shoved Kim." "He fell over backwards." " I'm all right." " You need stitches." "Just get that jerk out of the store." "Karim, will you keep an eye on Kim till the ambulance arrives?" "What a beauty!" "More of you who want to fall on your arses!" " You don't want to trip over this." " Put it down." "Chill, will you?" "It's a beauty." " All I am saying is go easy." " I am cool, man." "Your pal looks like she'd like to shoot me." " It's a killer." " Put it down and leave the store." "That's not up to you, lady." " Kuno's holding the big gun." " All right, Kuno." "Right now Kuno owns Seven Eleven." "Yes." "But put it down." " That unwanted junkie ..." " Unwanted?" "You're losing it." "What's going on?" "Any tricks and she gets it." "Kuno, my colleague and the workman are going to leave now." "Get out of my store." "I'm staying here." "Do you hear me?" "I don't hear a thing." "I've got you." "Karim, take over." "He shot him with a nail gun." "Station ..." "We have a hostage situation at the Seven Eleven on Jernbane Avenue." "We are on our way." " Is it under control?" "Of course." "Anna's in the store." " Now you'll bring in the cavalry." " Kuno, let her go." "The girl stays." "OK." " What's your name?" " Tanja." " Tanja, we'll sort this out." " You'll just shoot me." " No." " You're just itching to." " I would rather talk to you." " I don't want to talk to you." "OK, I'll unload my gun." "Look!" "OK?" "I have decided to trust you." "Look." "And I've decided to believe you won't fire that thing again." "There." "Will you talk to me now?" "My name's Anna and I'd like to sort this out with your help." "Understand?" "Right." "This thing ..." "This is my radio and I'm keeping it so we can talk to the people outside." " You'll stitch me up." " No, Kuno." "I am trying to help you." "To all cars: we have a hostage situation in Jernbane Avenue." "The perp is armed and dangerous." "Do not take action." "The action force and the negotiating team are on their way." "It's the police's fault with all your redneck attitudes." " Kuno!" " Stay where you are." " What are you trying to achieve?" " I want a bit of respect." "I want you to realize you've got to take an unwanted junkie seriously." " You have been treated badly." " Get out of here." "Why are you talking to me like I'm some kid?" "Is it some kind of psychology shit?" "What do you know about me?" "You cow." "Nothing at all." "You're right." "Do you feel like telling me something?" "Like how this is going to end well?" "Like how we can sort it out together?" "Fine ... the action force and negotiators are on their way." "There they are." "Hi, Troels." " And the weapon?" " An industrial nail gun." " Who's inside with him?" " Anna Pihl, one of our PCs." "I know her." "I hope she knows what she's doing." "Red squad on the roof, Green round the back." "They cheated me." "The fucking doctor forgot to enter my increased dosage." "So you didn't get the methadone you needed." " They have no idea what they're at." " I know the feeling." "Just like my own life." " Why should I give a fuck?" " I don't know." "Maybe you aren't the only one who feels a bit lost." "Right?" "How about letting Tanja go?" " Tanja, how are you feeling?" " I'm pleased you are here." "That's my mobile." "Can I see who it is?" "It's my boss." "He can help us." "May I answer it?" "Anna, a situation report?" "Kuno and I are talking nicely." " How far have you got?" " We'll be ready in 5 minutes." "Anna, I don't want you in there with him." "Mark, we are getting through to each other." "Tell him I am coming in to take over." " My boss wants to come in." " No way." "You'll just shoot me." " Nobody's coming in." " OK." "Kuno doesn't want that." " Can I talk to him?" " No he fucking can't!" "Anna?" "Can you buy us a bit of time?" "Are they coming in?" "You know what they always do." "Kuno, let her go, for heaven's sake!" "By letting her go you'll show that you want to sort this out." "I can explain that to them." "But you must let her go." "Kuno, you don't need her." "You've got me." "Don't you see?" "Thanks." "She's offered herself as a hostage." "I can see you are getting sick." "Withdrawal symptoms?" " I don't feel well." " I reckon we can take a Cola." "OK?" "She must be doing something right." "Yes, that was well done." " We're ready to go in." " I must try to warn her." "Something's about to happen." "It's too quiet." "OK?" "Shall we hear what they want?" "Maybe they've got a suggestion?" "No more phone calls from those bastards." "Put it down." "Nothing will happen." "Kuno, what are you doing?" "Relax!" "He is moving." "Go for it." "Green squad 20 seconds." "Kuno, do be careful!" "They'll shoot me when they come in." " Kuno, let me talk to them." " It's Anna." "Why does the shit go on and on like this?" "I can't win." "I'm done for." " What's he saying?" "Kuno, put it down." "We'll leave together." " OK?" " Stay where you are." "Put it down." "I'll help you, Kuno." "Don't hurt yourself." "I am coming to you." "By the door, OK?" "By the door." " He's standing by the door." " Green squad, go in now." "Drop it!" "On your belly." "The hostage is safe and the perp has been detained." "Well done all concerned." "You must never offer yourself as a hostage." " A mistake, Anna Pihl." " Yes." "What would you have done?" "You failed the theory but passed the practical." " Yeah, right!" " Right." "Pick up your negotiator's kit in the morning." "We want you on our team." "Yes." "You're going out with a negotiator." "Congratulations." "So we're opening this, then." " Yes!" " Hi, Martin!" "What a clever girl!" "Stop, Martin ... you must never hold the bottle like that." " Why not?" " Because." "Stop it!"
