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.

- They have bowling shoes there.

- I can't go bare foot.

- No, of course.

You're up.

What's it...? I thought the first

time we met we had -

- you know, a good contact.

You smiled and things.

- Can't you smile when we're bowling?

- Okay.

I know a funny story. You want

to hear it? It's a thighslapper.

Okay, there's a farmer

that lives by the church up here.

He has some sheep that he goes out

with sometimes. Just goes out with.

Anyway, one day

one ofthe sheep disappeared.

Then when the priest

arrived there to...

Actually, you can't...

You have to be from here to get it. It

has to do with how the priest looks...

How are you?

How are you...?

Sh*t, the lane must be faulty. Did

you see, it was almost a strike?

- How's your hand?

- No problem. Let's continue...

- Does it hurt?

- No problem,we can go on...

- That doesn't look good.

- It's fine.

- Are you sure?

- Sure... It's yourturn.

Will it be long before it's healed?

No, but keep it on for a few weeks

and it'll soon be fine.

Thanks.

- How is it?

- It's just a sprain.

Thanks for waiting,

it wasn't necessary.

- I mean it was nice of you, but...

- No problem.

- I'm just going to...

- I'll help you. It's fine.

It was really strange,

the lane must have been faulty.

'Cause I slipped like that...

- And so we won.

- Good.

Thanks for this evening, it was nice.

It was fun.

- Good. You think so?

- Not that, but it was fun...

You'll have to practice.

Haven't really got the hang of it.

Well, good night. Sleep well.

Oh, sorry. Sorry...

I forgot as well.

- Sleep well.

- You too.

Listen...

I just wanted to say that...

I don't think it's especially fun

coming here and closing your station.

I really don't enjoy doing it

and I want you to know that.

Really, I understand...

You're just trying to do your job.

I know that I was a little short

with you and things...

But you have to be... I don't know

how else to tackle the situation.

- lf I don't keep it up somehow.

- I really understand.

- I hope you can sleep now.

- Yes...

- Good night.

- Good night.

- See you.

- Yes. Sleep well.

- Thanks. Bye.

- Bye.

Up! Rabbit! Rabbit!

Rabbit! Hello?

- Hello, is that the police?

- For a while, anyway.

I'm at the lodge and I've kidnapped

a child. I want a million crowns.

Hello?

Hello?

Hello, this is Hkan.

I got a call from a man who says

he's kidnapped a child at the lodge.

He sounded really angry.

It would be good

if you could go there pretty fast.

If anyone's listening, keep it quiet

as there could be weapons involved.

But you others in patrol car one and

two, you must go straight away.

We're there in three minutes.

Over and out.

Thanks. Rabbit!

- I'll be staying on, I'm not finished.

- Really?

- No, there are some things...

- Hello.

I was with Dick doing "rabbit"

and the phone rang...

- Get to the point, Hkan.

- I'll tell you on the way. Come on!

- You see anything?

- Not a damn.

- What's up?

- Let me take care ofit.

We're willing to co-operate,

but we want to see the child first.

- Agneta, you know about this?

- No.

We're willing to co-operate,

but we want to see the child first.

- You know who it is?

- No.

- How many are there?

- Don't know.

I want a million,

or it'll get f***ed up!

Benny, give me that.

Okay, but we need time

to get the money.

And we want an assurance

that nothing will happen to the child.

- F*** you, there's no assurance here!

- F*** you, there's no assurance here!

- F***ing pigs, I'll blow you away!

- F***ing pigs, I'll blow you away!

- That's enough, idiot, you sound...

- That enough, idiots!

- You recognise him?

- Idiot, don't say that!

- We're going in, we're going in!

- We're going in, f***ing pigs!

I want a million,

or it'll get f***ed up!

He seems deranged. How fast

can we get a special unit here?

- What do you think, Hkan?

- I don't know.

- No idea.

- Contact Rberga now!

- Who do I call? Anders?

- Holmblad.

Hello?

This is Hgbotrsk police station.

This is Hkan

from Hgbotrsk police station.

- We can't wait. Jacob, back me up.

- No, Benny, wait!

It's okay, I'm going in...

- Benny, come back!

- It's okay! I'm cool!

- What do we do now?.

- Come here. Stand there.

Benny, look at him. He's

a f***ing wimp. He's giving it away.

It's not working. He's nervous. We

should have gotten someone else...

Keep quiet, we don't have time. Grab

me. Put the gun here. Put it here.

- Hey, let me check it out...

- Mike, stop it, not now...

- Okay, put it on the table.

- I want myvodka...

Gran, do what I say.

Mike! Come here. Okay, take it easy.

Okay, we're coming out!

I'm exchanging myself for the child!

I'm exchanging myself for the child!

Run! The situation is under control!

I repeat. The situation is under

control. We're negotiating. Stay calm!

- How are you?

- It was really heavy in there...

Wait, the boy is shocked,

I'll take care of him.

- Any others beside Benny and Gran?

- No. Gran is blowing it...

Under control? What's he doing?

How's he going to get out ofthis?

- I was bad, man...

- Go home to dad.

- No, I want to see some action...

- Go home to dad!

- Hkan, are they coming?

- Yes.

- Special forces.

- What for?

- They're going to... I called Holmberg.

- Jacob, what you doing?

- What the hell are you up to?

What have we here?

- Why didn'tyou say anything?

- I thought about what you said.

I know I exaggerated in the forest.

I've fixed something more believable.

- This'll work easy... No?

- Believable?

- It's under control.

- Control?

The special forces are on the way,

what about them?

- Any contact?

- Yes, the perpetrator is deranged...

Really, who the hell isn't?

Thanks, we'll take over here.

of now?. You must have a plan!

I'm thinking...

Closer, thanks!

That's good! Maintain positions!

- You kidnapped a kid, now what?!

- lt was just Mike!

- I didn't know they'd all come.

- What difference if it's Mike!

- You have a plan, you know nothing...

- I have a plan! You and Lasse didn't!

- We had great plan!

- The hot dog stand?!

That was too much,

but the rest was great.

- Stop f***ing shouting!

Get them to stop!

A case of vodka

and two fishing rods for this!

Get them to stop! Terminate!

You open fire on my policemen again -
