That was no one. It was… my brother. Just being stupid as usual.
You could have invited your brother you know. That could've been fun!
I don't want him here! That wouldn't be any good. N-not while we're… y'know…
Someone's not using her imagination!
I just… let's just get out of here! I'm sick of the beach now too.
Let me finish getting changed first. Milka? Aren't you changing?
I liked Emilia's idea! My bikini hasn't gotten enough attention yet!
Well I'm not going to change back!
Um… Yeah, I'm changing too…
Suit yourselves! I'll get all the attention then! Also, last one to the post office is a rotten egg!
What are you talking about! You're the rotten egg! I'm totally going to beat you!
*giggle* You can try! All your clothes might weigh you down!
So those changes work for you?
Sounds great to me! And you're sure you want to drag your girl into this?
Yes. I thought she might listen, but Emilia already thinks she knows better than her mother. You'd best round her up as well. She said they were on the beach and heading to the village.
Yeah, the other two hang around the park all the time. I bet that's where they're headed. Shouldn't be hard for me to rattle their cage a bit.
Rattle them good. If I wanted my daughter corrupted so soon I would've done it myself.
Speaking of corrupted daughters… You're okay with sorting out Venla?
I'll look after her, don't worry.
I have to say neighbor, I'm quite enjoying this working relationship of ours already! I don't know if I've ever met a mind quite as depraved as mine. Ludwig is a lucky man!
He knows it! And we're quite happy. But his tastes have gotten a little vanilla as of late.
I'd rather chocolate any day of the week. The darker the better!
Well today you can indulge your sweet tooth.
I want to seesaw while we eat!
Go ahead Emilia. I'll sit at the bottom of the slide.
Okay. It was so nice of that cashier to give us these croissants for free!
Do you think Lucas noticed my star?
Duh! And I think he noticed you adjusting your bikini straps before we went in too!
Are you saying I was flirting with him?
All I'm saying is you didn't have to play with your top in the reflection of the shop window.
I couldn't help it! My reflection was just so striking! You think I did all that on purpose?
I think you know the cashier stands right behind that window!
Okay, it was a little obvious wasn't it?
Wait, that WAS on purpose?
I'm excited, okay?! I've never worn something so revealing around town before!
You almost revealed a nipple! You're so bad in that bikini!
I know! You already want to borrow it, don't you?
I really do! I bet father would kill me if he caught me wearing that!
Well… I could let you take it for a spin on the beach later! We do have to go back for my clothes at some point.
Maybe. I was really hoping someone would pay us more attention by now.
Yeah, look! Danny has his lights on too. That's weird.
Danny? THAT Danny? Why is he parking next to us?!
This was not what the attention I wanted…
Ladies, ladies, ladies! What do we have here?
Henry? What are you doing here?
I told you before, Danny is training me. I'm more of an intern than a deputy right now, but it's good experience. But I admit I was surprised when he told me you were all suspects.
And you're not getting off easy just because he's your brother!
Oh don't worry Emilia. He's just teasing. Right, Danny?
You shouldn't flash that star at me, little girl, not unless you mean it.
Well that is why you're here… isn't it?
Let's just say that we have some other business to attend to first.
Are those handcuffs! Oh no! Is this what mother was warning me about?
Stand up and turn around, Ms Ståhlberg.
Hold on, what the fuck is this?! Emilia's right, we haven't done anything!
No? Does trespassing ring a bell?
Wait, does he know we saw? Is this what this is about? But we didn't even go to his yard or anything! We were spying on them from MY yard!
W-wuh… We didn't mean to look! We didn't trample flowers or anything!
I'm not sure what crime you're trying to admit to Ms. Björnquist, but I have it on good authority that someone here broke into the school a few days ago…
Alfred! What a good for nothing jerk!
And that sounds like another guilty plea!
Now watch the curb.
Wait, you're arresting us for real?!
Of course I am. Up you go! Get comfy back there.
Henry!? We didn't do anything though! You know that, right?
Sorry sis. Danny's in charge here.
Little Emilia. You are a cute little thing, aren't you?
Am I really being arrested?! What will I do?! I'm going to be grounded for a year!
What's this? Already wearing a star just as brazenly as those other two?
I… I d-don't… I just… I mean… I was…
Don't worry. I can give you exactly what you need.
Why is he coming closer? Is he going to kiss me?! Or whisper?
You need the long hard shaft of the law, don't you?
Just nod. Agree with whatever he says. Always listen to police officers, that's what daddy always told me. Although I don't even have a choice with this star, do I?
So formal! Don't worry, I'll get you shouting my name yet.
Oh no. This is all my fault! I could have warned my friends. Or at least gone home like mom was saying before I hung up on her? Is that a crime too? I sure feel guilty about it…
We're going for a drive girls! Henry and I need to… ask you some questions.
Where are they taking us?
It must be a cabin. We're well outside the village by now.
Just tell your brother to go easy on us!
You heard him! He's only doing what Danny tells him! Whatever this investigation is I'm sure tha-
No! I mean 'go easy' on us!
I mean just that! If a couple of guys pick up three girls with stars and take them somewhere super private, the only question they'll be asking is which hole!
But why would they go this far anyway? They even put us in handcuffs!
I'm sure he's just playing! He's always like that!
But this feels different.
Could this be about what we saw?
That's what I'm thinking too! We must've gotten caught or something, and now -
Quit corroborating back there ladies! You're all outta time for that. We're here! Henry, you can do the honors of bringing them inside.
Alright ladies! Out of the vehicle. Orderly fashion.
Henry, we're not actually in trouble are we?
That's up to him. Just do what the man says, sis.
I can't believe I screwed up this badly. I don't know if I'm going to jail or what. And what will I tell my parents? People saw us getting arrested. Even if I don't get charged with anything, I'm going to have to explain all this to…
Oh fuck! Oh my god! She's been sitting waiting?! Did she call Danny on us? I never thought…
Huh? That girl! Kneeling next to mom, she's…
And you all know Venla by now, I presume.
Sh-she's naked! But she has… a blindfold? Are those earmuffs? She didn't even flinch when we came in. What is she doing here?
Would you look at that? She's handcuffed the same as you three! What a crazy coincidence! It's almost as if you're trying to be just like her!
That's only what YOU want! You seriously think we would agree to something like THAT?!
Calm down, I'm only teasing you!
But I'd rather not tease. I'd much rather show you the kinds of things a girl can still do while she's handcuffed. I bet I can surprise you.
Oh no! She's got a black spade! She's a slave! Are we going to be slaves?! Why didn't I warn my friends?!
Laura, your daughter, I'm afraid to say, has been getting into trouble alright. I think she has something to show you.
Henry, get those cuffs off her.
There you go. Go on. Show your mother.
I don't wanna! But… I guess she was bound to find out anyway…
Umm… I guess y-you mean… this…
★
Oh, Emilia…
To be wearing something like that behind your mother's back…
M-Mom! I n-never…! Well, I did, but… I don't know! I'm sorry! I'm sorry!
That's enough. Quit your babbling and stand with your friends. You three all know exactly why you're here. Especially Milka. Look at you, flouncing around town marked with this bikini on. It's like you're begging for a spade on your arm!
Yeah? And just how much fun were you looking for exactly? Because I think you ought to be kneeling next to Venla over there the way you've been carrying on.
We're all done for! And this is all my fault! We can't just get rid of our stars, can we? Wait, Heidi has her markers on her. Maybe I can… I have to do something! I have to save my friends!
Emilia grabs Heidi's markers and…
