Mother?

Sebastian!

It's locked.

The court has reversed

Philip Anderson's conviction.

While the initial appeal the original

conviction was sustained...

after two years imprisonment,

a new appeal was initiated.

My client, Philip Anderson was

wrongly imprisoned for

more than two years.

But today, the Supreme Court

acquitted Philip of all charges.

I'm sure you have many questions.

Do you still trust

the Swedish legal system?

Yes, I'm glad I got a new trial.

But I lost three

years of my life.

That shouldn't happen

in a democracy.

There's a price to be paid.

- Will you claim compensation?

- That's for later consideration.

That isn't an

unreasonable thought,

but at this moment we're

satisfied with this.

Annika Bengtzon of "Evening

Press".

Can you explain why a lot

of the testimony changed?

That's a question

for the prosecutor.

I asked Philip.

I'd like to hear his answer.

- The court found me innocent.

- That's no answer to the question.

Can you say more about changes

in the witness statements?

You say that more like a fact

than as a question.

Philip was convicted on the basis

of questionable evidence.

- So you tell me.

- What's wrong in the legal system?

Annika, come to my office?

What should I do about

Philip Andersson?

He can't go unpunished.

- Annika, I want an answer from you.

- I said "no".

You might think about it.

Spiken's going away.

We need a new news editor.

- I'm happy with my current position.

- We work hard as reporters.

So if you take over as editor

you can work according to a schedule.

- I work best at my own time.

- You've so much more in yourself.

What should I do

about Philip Andersson?

All the media were there. It isn't an

exclusive. Only a short summary?

- From what perspective?

- Do you have proof he's guilty?

- No.

- Then he was wrongly convicted.

- This is a short summary.

- Annika?

If you don't want it, I'll

assign it to another.

Who'll decide what you write.

I'm a journalist,

not a personnel manager.

- What did Schyman say?

- Nothing new.

- And you?

- Nothing new.

Pity. You'd be a good boss.

How did the press conference go?

How does

"cleared of all charges" sound?

Not really

the headline of the year.

Check it out.

This just came in.

"Family death by gas

after burglary, Costa del Sol".

Gas? What can that be?

They pumped gas inside and waited

until everyone was unconscious.

- Is that common?

- Yes.

My brother has a house there.

But there are never cases of murder.

- Will you take this story?

- No, I'll do the school bus accident.

Annika Bengtzon of "Evening Press".

Are you Rickard Marmen?

Yes. What can I do for you?

- I'm relaying greetings from Berit.

- Give her my greetings back.

I've a question about the gas

burglary last night.

- Are you in Spain now?

- Yes.

Do you often heard

about gas burglaries?

It happens here

like a conveyor belt.

You have fire alarms,

we have gas ones.

A family died from that.

- Died? When?

- Last night.

- Was it a Swedish family?

- I don't know.

- Do you know any more about it?

- I only know they died.

I must find out more.

- Can I reach you at this number?

- Certainly. Thank you.

Spiken, here.

- Thank you.

- Guess what's inside?

A football.

When I started working here,

Spiken was already the news editor.

I don't know how we'll survive

without you.

Many of you will wonder who the

new editor will be.

So allow me to introduce you to

the new editor:
Patrik Nilsson.

- Patrik, go ahead.

- Thank you.

I really enjoy working with you.

It will be a great newspaper.

- What do we have for tomorrow?

- I have a bus crash in Skne.

- Annika?

- A dead family on the Costa del Sol.

Spain? Is there a

connection to Sweden?

Usually gas burglaries

don't result in deaths.

- And Philip Andersson's press conference?

- I've a written summary.

A summary?

This man was wrongly

convicted for more

than two years and

you write a summary?

People want to read that.

It isn't an exclusive story.

It will be in the news.

"Wrongly Jailed" is always good.

Or "Accused Innocent".

Send it to me.

I'll make something beautiful out of it.

I won't steal it from you.

Your name will appear on the by-line.

Next point.

Rickard, thanks for your help,

but the article didn't go through.

What?

- The gas burglary...

- Leave it at that.

- They were Swedes.

- Sure?

It's Sebastian Soderstrom.

Wait, wait, wait...

Sebastian Soderstrom?

- The hockey star?

- Jesus. Come here.

A year ago I did a special

about him.

You've found it.

This is the World Cup.

His career's been put on the back burner,

but he still loves sports.

- I'm not that old.

- He went from hockey to golf.

- Does anyone have any news?

- Only we, from Berit's brother-in-law.

- Are you sure?

- The official channels haven't reported it.

We put nothing on-line

until the newspapers are printed.

Sports should locate ex-teammates.

Berit, you provide an official comment.

Annika, finish up everything.

Grab a suitcase.

You're off to Malaga as

quickly as possible.

- Is that a problem?

- No.

Good. How did they die?

What leads do the police have?

And wrap it a bit quickly.

Sports?

- Sophia Grenborg.

- Hi, Sophia is Thomas there?

Yes, one moment.

- Mama, I want to be with you.

- I know, sweetheart.
