Kopps Page #4

Synopsis: Police officer Benny is obsessed with American police cliches and livens up his own boring everyday life with dreams of duels with bad guys. But poor Benny and his colleagues doesn't have much to do in the small town of Högboträsk. Most of their days are spent drinking coffee, eating sausage waffles and chasing down stray cows. Peace and quiet is the dream of every politician, but for the Swedish authorities, the lack of crooks is reason to close the local police station. When the cops investigate a suspected act of vandalism, they realise that they themselves may be able to raise the crime statistics high enough to stay in business.

- The first page.

- Lucky Fredriksson is so dumb.

- It's bloody good for us.

- It's really good...

Benny, what the hell are you doing?

Well, according to my calculations

I should have ended up more there...

Sh*t Benny,

you drive like a f***ing cocksucker!

- Shall we get him?

- Let's get him.

I see you're all very busy...

As you can see we have a new visit

from Jessica Lindblad.

Strange things have occurred here

and I'd like to talk to you about it.

Individually, if possible.

- Hi.

- Hi.

Don't think about what you saw with

Benny, it was just to raise morale.

It's fine...

I tried calling you,

but you haven't called back.

Why haven't you?

You've had no crime here for 10 years.

Can you explain recent events?

- It's coincidence.

- Coincidence.

We work a little differently.

We work with an American method -

- called "Pre-Crime".

We're a step ahead.

It affects the whole of society.

Crime is on the increase.

- Coincidence?

- No, a gang.

- It could be anything. The PKK...

- What makes you think so?

They knew the station

was shutting down and moved in.

With no police they can

just steal and shoot or whatever.

It's because we have bad resources.

We need more police.

- We have bad resources here.

- I'd like to see more police.

You haven't caught the perpetrators.

Can you explain why?

I grabbed hold of one once,

but he got away.

- It's been quite close.

- Close in whatway?

- There've been chases with shots fired.

- Shots? That's not in my papers.

There's been wild shooting here.

It hasn't been fun.

It's been really hot here.

I've almost been hit

in both my hands and feet.

- Where did the shooting occur?

- To the north.

- Good, we can take a look tomorrow.

- Yes, sure...

Sure... ofcourse.

Of course. I can maybe

come by and pick you up...

No, I think we'll meet up here.

It's one of those recording watches.

So I can remember things...

I see...

I recorded some of the shooting.

Want to hear?

Thanks

Hey, Jessica...

- Have you seen Dick?

- Yes.

- It's...

- Yes, he's really cute.

Wait a bit...

I really want to apologise for what

happened last. I really didn't mean to.

It's a game, you have to

hold up your hand... I was drunk.

I shouldn't blame it on that, but...

that's what I'm doing...

Okay.

Hello, I'm Jessica Lindblad from the...

I know, I know...

The rumour circulates...

-They're really nice, all of them.

-They're nice. We play poker together.

-Wonderful people. Fantastic.

-You've had some theft here.

- Has police collaboration been good?

- Really nice collaboration.

You see that door there?

They put it in.

Look at the fan... They did it.

I meet Jacob most... when

he walks here with his night stick.

Does he do that often? Walk here

with his night stick...? Why?

His daughter is playing overthere.

Jenny is the one lying on Max.

- She's a little rowdy, just like dad!

- Benny doesn't like mustard.

And Agneta, she's too much.

One day she wants grilled onions -

- and the next day

she doesn't want grilled onions!

She says she gets gas

if she has too much onion.

- I won 300 off Benny lastweek.

- But, I took home 500.

- Buy some vegetables?

- No, it's fine.

- Halfprice?

- No, thanks.

- Can you play poker?

- No, but I'd like a bun ifl may?

- That's super! Where'd you buy it?

- I was given it.

- Really super.

- Thanks a lot.

- This is fine.

- Okay.

That's good.

Very good.

- Right. That's enough.

- Watch out.

-We shouldn't exaggerate this.

-We said there was shooting.

- It's enough.

- Put in two shots.

- That's good. That's enough.

- F***ing sh*t...

This is Patrol Car One.

It is 09:
12 -

- and we're heading

to the hot-dog stand for inspection.

- Good. There are buns here forlater.

- Okay, understood. Over and out.

Buy some sugarfor...

So, what else do you do?

-What do you mean?

-Yes, what do you mean?

- Did I speakto you?

- Butyou're so incredibly unclear.

Who let you out your cage? Unclear?

Coming from you?

Says he! He's... he knows nothing.

He can't even say he loves me!

It's true! What does he look like?

What's this pork here?

His belly looks like a stack ofpancakes.

Is it a spare tire if we get a flat?

Says she with the sagging tits...

They look incredible.

Like slack cones just hanging there,

looking straight down...

Listen... Jessica, come into the

shower with me and you'll see. Perfect.

- This is Janne's stand.

- Before it was blown up.

- Howare you, Janne?

- Well, one tries...

Benny,

could I get my waffle iron back?

Unfortunately it could take a while.

It's evidence, so...

Why don't you get a pizza oven

with the insurance money?

I'll stick to hot dogs.

That's what I know best.

- You want a hot dog?

- I'm fine.

Anyone know howt his happened?

According to my calculations,

the shot must have come from there.

Why blow up Janne's stand

with a grenade launcher?

Diversionary tactic. They blowup

the stand at the same time as they -

- plan something somewhere else.

Die Hard 3.

Right. Okay...

This is where the shooting took place.

You can see for yourself

here on the trunks.

What happened, more precisely?

Well, Lasse and I stood over here.

I think...

- Benny and Agneta stood here.

- Yes, I stood here.

- I stood here.

-Yes, that's it.

- And then?

- Then the others stood over there.

- And how many were there?

- I'm not so sure of that, but...

- There were four or five of them.

- A few more.

- There were more like about ten.

- Ten?

One thing I don't get. If you stood here

and shot there and they shot back-

- then how come there are

bullet holes there... and there?

I can answer that.

We gave those guys a real show.

It wasn't really like that,

but... almost.

You don't say.

- Thanks for today.

- Goodbye.

Let me ask you something...

What the hell you doing? You think

you're a super cop, you just talk sh*t!

What sh*t? It's meant to look real.

You call that real?!

You want to keep the station?

- That's exactly what I want.

- Shut up, she's coming!

- Have a good day.

- Same to you. Goodbye.

I don't understand.

What's up with him?

- You also think I exaggerated?

- ltwas maybe a bit much.

For once I'm ready

to agree with Agneta.

- For once? Whaty ou mean "for once"?

- I'm ready to agree...

- I heard that, but what do you mean?

- I mean I agree...

For once, but...

Wait...

There's one thing I must make clear.

Good. What's going on here?

Benny's a good cop, but he exaggerates

sometimes. He's not really like that.

- You think I'm stupid?

- No, not at all...

We also think what's happening here

is weird.

It's nice that you're here, anyway...

I thought... I was thinking...

Every thing that's happening here

is quite new for us, too.

- We're working. We're investigating.

- Okay...

Then I also wondered

if you wanted to go bowling?

- Bowling... if you feel like it.

- What?

No, I don't really know. See you.

- Hey...

- Yes?

- I'll come with.

- Okay.

- I'll just put some shoes on.
