Original subtitles

In 1958, the first female police officers started patrolling Stockholm.

They inspired this story.

…the French have to defend themselves against Algeria.

Sure, by bombing and killing eighty people in Tunisia?

-What do you think? -About what?

About Algeria.

I say we can do better than boring politics, just have fun!

Arne, you're the one that's boring.

Everything is politics. Your girlfriend here is a walking debate.

All right!

Seriously, how does it feel to be right in the eye of a storm?

It's so brave, I think.

It's amazing that there are people who want to do it at all.

-Especially in Klara. -Yes, it is.

Oh, and on top, such a low wage.

Oh, I didn't take the job because of the pay!

No, I can believe that.

I mean, you're only there because the pay is so bad that men no longer want to be,

uh, police, anyhow!

-Hey! That's not why! -I'm right!

Well, there are those who think that we can do a good job as well.

I've always wanted to help people.

Yes.

So, okay, but, okay, what will you do after all of that?

-Absolutely. -What do you mean?

Arne told us this is temporary, if I understood correctly?

No. I… I… I just meant that, um,

this whole female police thing is an experiment.

-Isn't that right? -Oh. Sure.

Then we'll see if you can keep going afterwards.

Which I'm sure you will, but we just don't know, do we?

-Of course. -Sure, well that's how it is, true.

Give us a little smile?

So, Miss, why did you want to join the Police?

I hope I can make a difference.

Put your hands on your hips?

And look a little more assertive.

If we just do what the men do, we'll be completely fine.

Doesn't Miss look smart?

-She really does. -Yes.

What does your father have to say

about you joining the police, Miss?

Miss?

KLARA POLICE DISTRICT

Right. Here they are then. The skirt police.

We missed you last night, at home.

I was training grips with Arne, then we went to Nalen.

-Did I miss anything? -I'd say you did.

Ingrid memorised all of Klara's street network.

Very loudly as well.

-Sorry, they said we needed to know it. -Next!

Is that what they call it nowadays?

-"Training"? -We trained!

-As well. -Next!

Good day.

Good morning, ma'am.

You don't need to curtsy, and I'm not "ma'am",

I'm Police Sister Berg.

Good morning, Police Sister Berg.

I'll say to you the same thing I say to everyone,

while you're here, you're under my watch.

I don't want to be disappointed. Understood?

-Of course. -This is your new badge.

You only get one. If you lose it, don't even think about coming back.

Thank you.

Next!

Yes!

Miss Eriksson?

Good day.

Johan Reimer. Well, Miss, from today you'll be out with me.

No, please, no need to call me Miss now. Constable Eriksson works.

-Ah. Shall we? -Mm.

How did you manage to convince the Chief of Police about this?

Well, I made him see that it was all just untapped lab our.

We're stepping into the future, don't you see?

You have to accept it.

The whole country is watching.

Don't embarrass us.

Right?

NO PARKING

Good day.

Hello, the truck needs to move out of the way.

Yeah, sure, we will.

Now, please, sir. It can't stay here.

-Where else are we meant to unload? -No, I said move it. Now.

Where?

Yeah, yeah, okay.

They said we should take notes of everything

before we start patrolling alone.

Ah.

So, Miss, after a month with me out in Klara on patrol,

would you say you'll be ready to do it alone?

-Yes. -This district has the highest crime…

-Excuse me. -I'm informed.

Are you a real police officer?

Yes, I am.

-Good day. -Good day.

She is police.

Can you defend yourself?

Yes. We trained in jiujitsu at the academy. Same as you.

Sure, but there's a difference between wrestling other ladies

and wrestling somebody out here.

Well, I train at home also, with my boyfriend.

-And he's police? -No.

Move out of the damn way!

No, he studies economics at Handels.

-At Handels? -Mm hmm.

It must be a little odd for you, Constable…

With me here.

If you have any questions, then I'm happy to answer them.

About the training we did, or anything.

It's the same as a man does. No difference.

Just wait here and watch. I'll show you what to do.

-Hi, you okay? -Mm.

Well, I don't think so.

Your breakfast is there on the floor. Come with me.

No!

-Hey. Hey, come, come along now. -No!

Come on. Come with me.

No, I haven't done anything.

-Do you need help? -No, I don't.

We're standing up. Stand up, dammit! Stand up, will you?

Go away.

Careful going down.

We're getting a taxi?

There's only one patrol car in the district.

Shouldn't we search him though?

-No, no! -Get in.

-No! I haven't done anything! -Easy. Get in the car.

Sit in the front. I'll sit in the back with him in case he's sick again.

I think I'll survive.

Didn't you hear me? Sit in the front.

I'm sure you don't want to get your uniform dirty.

Are you coming too?

Klara Police Station.

Can you please hold the line?

-Get in there. -Let go of me!

I won't… go!

Knife! He has a knife!

-Stay down! -I told you to search him!

-No, you didn't. -I know what I fucking said!

Lie down. Can I get some help here?

-What the hell… -Son of a…

Right, there's nothing to see here. Back to work.

Come on. Don't stand here and gawk.

It's her first day.

Yes, Detective.

Constable Morell. Step into my office.

Now!

-Fifteen-minute break. -What do you do on the break then?

Have a cigarette. Close your eyes a while.

Do you not know that you must perform a search, Miss?

He never said I should do a search. I've said this already.

-Well, he says that he did. -That's not true.

Well, Morell, are you already being impossible on day one?

-No. But these accusations that I... -Excuse me.

What I think that Constable Morell is saying is that she'll listen

more closely to her colleague to prevent more misunderstandings.

Isn't that true?

Mm. Good.

-Then we're done here. -One more thing.

The coffee's out.

-Who refills it? Or is there a schedule… -Get out of here, both of you.

POLICE

Excuse me. Holländargatan, where's that?

-Yes, of course. -So, you...

So, you take the first left,

then turn right, and, uh, then you're on Holländargatan.

Thank you so much. It's lovely to see you here.

Oh, thank you.

I just want to point out that this is an experiment,

due to personnel shortage, so it's not certain that it will continue.

Don't touch me!

-Good day. -Let go!

-Hey, you! -Go to hell!

Come back here!

Stop!

-What's going on here? -Nothing.

Sorry, Constable. Look, this is all just a misunderstanding.

Can I go now?

So you're saying nothing happened and no one ran away?

Except we saw something happen, and someone running away, did we not?

Sure. Who was the lady that you shouted after?

I don't think I've done anything wrong.

That's great! So, can you answer the question for me?

Yes, well, uh, she… well, she stood there talking

and I gave her directions and she went off… with my wallet.

Well, sure, that's all right, we'll do a report for a robbery.

Look, constables, I don't want you to do anything and I'm…

I'm in a bit of a rush. Come on, I need to be home.

Hm. Off you go.

-Why didn't he want to report it? -He is married.

And the woman was a prostitute.

So we're going this way? Our patrol area is the other way.

We're going after the lady.

-But he didn't want to report it. -Think of it as an exercise.

Why don't you get in, sweetheart?

You sound confident.

I like a man who's confident.

I was thinking… you and I go back to yours.

Monica.

-That would be nice. Right? -Monica, let's go.

Think I can have it?

Be my guest.

But, uh… fine, go to hell!

Excuse me.

-I just need to have a word with you. -Okay.

-Go for it. -Could you open your bag?

I'd like to look inside.

Your name's Monica, isn't it?

Are you okay? Don't burn yourself.

-What do you want? -Are you well?

Are you satisfied? Running errands for men?

Can… can I have a look in your bag, please?

Hand over the bag!

No, no, no, no, no! No!

-Shit, that didn't go very well. -Should we pursue her?

No, no, we should leave it.

-Are you hurt? -No.

Then I think we should head back.

-Mm. -Yeah.

You've some dirt on you.

You'll learn.

I went to her with a problem, and then this happens?

-I really don't understand. -Hello.

Hello, have you heard? I've been sacked.

What? What for?

Well, because my colleague refuses to talk to me.

Well, mine slammed a door right in my face.

But I don't understand. Why do you have to… leave?

I suggested to Berg that I go out with someone else, but she said I can't.

Does she think we're all damn lab rats or they can do whatever they like?

How am I supposed to do my job if my partner won't talk to me?

I just don't get it, so… that's it for me!

And good luck out there.

I'm certain you'll need it.

Constable Wallin didn't speak to me all day,

but… you have to put up with it!

I'm not surprised she's the one to leave.

No, she was rather sensitive.

Well, why don't we go raise a glass to her?

-I'd like that. -I can't tonight.

-Why not? -No, Åke is waiting for me, so…

I heard that the men have a regular spot. They're there all the time.

But they don't want to talk to us.

They do. They just don't know it yet.

-Okay… bye everyone. -Bye.

Uh, maybe next time I can…

Sure. Great.

-How was your day? -Rossi and I arrested a drunk in Klara.

Right.

He didn't want me sitting in the backseat of the taxi

because he thought I was scared of getting vomit on my uniform…

Fuck…

Uh, I… I just remembered that, um… I said to Arne we'd see each other.

-So I can't come out. -Oh, that's a shame.

CONSTABLE CAR IN ERIKSSON

-Say hello to Monica for me. -Sure. See you.

-Hi! You working? -I'm done for tonight.

Hello there, gorgeous.

-Hi! -Hi. Is Jack in?

Yeah, but he's in a foul mood.

I have the girls' money. That should cheer him up.

-It's been a long day. -You're looking well.

-Thanks. -Yes, I could show you how well.

-Hi. -What do you want?

-Uh, I'm looking for a girl called Monica. -You need to leave this place.

Jack's place is very cosy, but you know how hot I get.

I know you work so hard.

You deserve some fun.

What?

Uh, I… I'm one of… Jack's girls.

-No, I don't recognise you. -I… I… It's… I… No, I'm… new.

-Let's join them. -I don't know.

I don't think we should, Siv.

Why shouldn't we? We're part of the force now too. Come on. Come.

Hi.

-Hi. -Yes.

-Could we join you? -Hello. Oh, oh, oh… hello, hello.

What have we here?

Aren't you going to introduce us?

Uh, well, um. Let me introduce my new patrol partner.

Detective Inspector Fischer, these are two of the new female constables.

Detective? Oh, how splendid.

No! We're full, can't you see?

Can't she see this table is full?

Does she not see it?

Well, gentlemen, you all have a nice evening.

It's fine.

-Here you go. -Thank you.

-Are you new? -Yes.

Welcome, then. On the house for the girls.

Here. It's Jack's cut from the girls.

Do you, um… A girl, a short, blonde one, Monica, do you know if she's here?

-Yeah. She should be close. -And she...

-Join me over here. -No, thank you.

I wasn't asking you.

Ow!

Thank you.

The name's Jack.

Why are you saying that you, uh, work for me?

Uh, I've heard about here…

-About you. -Mm.

So, so I've been curious.

Interesting.

How, um, do you know who I am?

One of my friends told me about you.

Monica.

Mm. Hm.

Come. Let's talk.

I'm just bloody confused that they don't see the fact

that they really need us, Ingrid.

They'll come round, I'm sure of it. But it is only the first day, Siv.

They'll get there. We must give them time.

-Ah! Oscar! -Oh.

Do you want a shot?

-Right now? -Mm.

-Sure, why not? -Good.

Hi.

Oh, hi.

Two shots, please.

I just wanted to say thank you for the assistance, Detective,

for earlier today.

Oh, well, that's all right.

He was lying about the drunk. He never told me to search him.

You need to know I take my job incredibly seriously.

Why wouldn't I think that?

I saw how you disarmed him. I was impressed.

Thank you.

I'm not going to be out on patrol forever.

-No? -Ooh!

What'll you do, then?

I'll be with you.

I mean, being with you as a detective.

All right.

-Are you serious? -'Course.

-Where you going? -I'm going to the bar.

Get them in. Yeah!

-Your round! -I'm buying the whole round?

Of course you're buying the whole round.

Well, if… if you think it's much easier being a detective, it's not.

I'm certain that's not the case.

Well, if you can excuse me, Detective.

Oscar.

Well, then, Oscar. I'll go back to my friend.

-If you'll excuse me. -Of course.

All right, then.

-What can I get ya? -Hey…

I'll have another!

I can't see Monica here.

-No, she's working. -I'll go then.

If you've lied your way in, you can have a drink with me, can't you?

Sit.

Now, what do you think of my… uh, establishment? Is it to your liking?

No, thank you.

I like you.

I need another drink over here.

You'd be perfect here.

Earn a lot of money.

Will you not stay and see Monica first?

You said she wasn't here.

I didn't say that. I said she was working.

After you.

Um.

Hey, it's late. I… I can talk to Monica another day.

Yes, but we, uh, we'd better talk the economics first.

I was just thinking, uh, 50-50. A good deal.

And we'll have some fun too.

Hm.

I need to see what you, uh, what you offer.

Fuck sake. What kind of place is this?

What's the problem?

Damn it. Fucking Monica won't fuck any more.

-Calm down. -What?

She's bleeding! It's disgusting!

-Come. You'll get your money back. -What kind of fucking place you running?

-Take it easy. -Do you think I'll come back? Do you? Eh?

I want all my money back.

Oh, God.

You must give my badge back to me.

What are you doing here?

-Oh, God. -You all right?

You've gotta go.

If Jack finds out you're police, then, God, he'll kill me.

Well, just give me my badge and I'll go away.

But, look, I didn't take it.

What's wrong with me? It won't stop bleeding.

So, um, I can get you out of here. I'll help if you come with me.

Oh?

Is that right?

So you know her? Why does she wanna get you out?

I… I don't know who she is.

Who are you?

-I'm a friend of Monica's. -No. She's not.

Carin.

What do you think we should do with you now then, Carin?

You little fucking whore!

Carin? What happened?

Hm?

I really don't think they'll let you go for something like that.

That kind of thing happens all the time. Try this.

People have been sacked for much less than losing their badge.

Sit here.

Shit…

I feel so sorry for that poor girl.

She was bleeding so much.

You fought a pimp… in his own brothel.

Will I… will I need to start worrying about you?

No.

-I'll look after myself. -Mm.

Imagine if I could work in the detective department.

-Mhm. -My father would be so angry.

Why's that?

Because it's me and not my brothers following in his footsteps.

-Maybe he'd be proud of you. -I'm not sure about that.

I'm very tired.

Yeah, me too.

Can you help me with the table?

Sure. Wouldn't you like to sleep in the bed tonight, Ingrid?

Oh, no. I don't want Carin to think I'm trying to push her out.

Please. She won't think that at all.

It's so nice of you to let us take the bedroom.

I've always stayed out here, even when I was living here

with my grandmother, so it's fine.

I really appreciate your grandmother letting us stay here.

I'd love to visit her with you to thank her sometime.

I can tell her.

You mentioned he didn't speak a word to you?

No.

It'll absolutely get better.

Good night.

Good night.

The boys will join with the Swedish squad

and will be looking to impress the coach…

Oh dear, here we go.

"On Monday, Stockholm awoke to a new era,

when the city's first female constables stepped out onto the streets."

"Carin Eriksson, one of the new constables…"

I've never been with a celebrity before.

-Stop it. -Beautiful Carin. I'm so proud of you.

"The fourteen new constables, having finished their training,

were equipped and are ready to start their professional journey."

"Dressed in their new uniforms, hats neatly placed on their heads,

it was an historic day for the police force and for society."

There looks to be a really good balance in general…

You know we've really got to be careful if we're doing this.

Would it be so bad if there was a tiny, little accident, Car?

What? Of course!

Oh. I'm so close! Where's the towel? Okay!

Is it time?

Shit…

Sure, I'll need updates on that new case by the end of the day.

I always go here first, to check if there's any freshly brewed coffee.

Then I check the thermos flask.

Just a little tip for you.

Are you hurt?

No, patrolling in a skirt.

You should really see what my inner thighs look like.

Hm.

Uh, I mean… I didn't actually...

No, I understood what you meant.

No worries.

Hey, I thought you might like, um… to come to the, um, Detective Division

one of these days and see what it's like?

Well, you'd be welcome. If you meant what you said.

Thank you. Yes, I'd love to.

Well, good luck, um… well…

Excuse me.

…military response. But is there hope for sustained peace

in the troubled region?

Wait your turn, sir.

Ooh. Excuse me, District Chief.

Ah, it's you!

Great interview.

-Oh. Is it? -Mm.

You know, my daughters, they loved the article.

-Oh. -You're their new idol now, you know.

-Well, I'm flattered. -Nice work.

Thank you.

Miss Eriksson.

-Morning. -Good morning.

A question. Um… if you brought to light a criminal operation on your own,

then who would you report to?

-You'd tell the detectives. -Um, right.

-Shall we? -Ah, no, wait a minute.

You must, uh, register for a weapon delivery first.

So make sure you have your badge at the ready.

But, but, uh, we haven't even worked a night yet.

No, but you'll need to do it right now.

-Good morning. -Hi.

…as it needs to be completed before.

-I… I can't find my badge. -Sorry?

I can't find my badge. I… I must've dropped it.

You can't find your badge?

Do you understand how serious this is, Miss?

'Course.

I'll tell Berg.

Wait. Hold on.

I found this on the ground…

After the struggle.

And you've had it ever since?

Carin, focus. You dropped it.

Klara Police Station, what can I do for you?

You have to come, there's a dead body in the water!

Then, um…

Carin?

Carin?

-I'm just trying to teach you. -People do drop things, you know.

But Carin, what if you dropped your weapon?

Understand?

You should be happy I'm the one teaching you.

The alarm's going off.

You could've lost your job for that, you know.

Excuse me.

-Reimer? -You're needed at Klara Lake immediately.

Here. It's over here.

-Right then, who made the call? -I did.

Perhaps she jumped from the bridge?

Carin.

Carin. Carin, look at me.

I should never have gone to that brothel.

She didn't even take the badge.

But you know very well that this isn't your fault.

How could you know that?

Why didn't you say anything?

I didn't want to…

I don't know, but I wanted to solve it myself.

So you decided to go off to a brothel… Alone?

Siv, please. She just found a dead person in the water.

I just mean that you can't do things like that on your own.

It's dangerous.

Monica said…

If he found out that I was police…

Then he would have killed her.

-That's precisely what he did. -You don't know that.

Well, her face was bruised and I know it wasn't like that when I last saw her.

We just have to wait for the investigation.

There's nothing else we can do.

Illegal pornographic screening.

You know how many cases I have, Fischer.

Same for everyone.

Thanks, Oscar.

Hi.

-Mm? -Carin Eriksson.

The woman in the water? I was there.

If you need consoling, I'm the wrong man.

-I believe her pimp might have killed her. -Can you prove that?

No, but I thought you could.

The case is now closed.

There was no obvious sign of foul play, nothing to investigate.

There were no bruises on her face when we saw her on patrol.

Someone's beaten her.

I could take a look at the investigation...

All prostitutes get beaten by their handlers.

It's all part of the job description.

-I know, but now that she's gone… -And she was an addict. Addicts die.

And why do I know all this?

Because I'm real police, unlike you.

Svärd got you in,

but I promise, if you ever again question my authority,

you bloody women will be out of here. You can believe me.

ARCHIVE NO UNAUTHORIZED ENTRY

of the Swedish Football Association…

Hey.

I'd like to see the report on the body we found in the water.

But on whose order?

Uh, the Detective Inspector's.

Fischer asked me to get it.

And who are you? His secretary?

I'm the police.
