Original subtitles

-What the hell are we doing, Bea? -Listen.

Get down to the basement and wait until I call.

-The access card works. We have to go now. -It'll be quick!

SOS 112. What's happened?

Hi! A car was driving like a maniac in Hammarby Sjöstad.

It's parked outside CBC's office. The driver looks high.

We have to go now!

Run! Run now!

Yes! You've called a hundred times. What the bloody hell is so important?

-Hello. Is this Beatrice Farkas? -Yes, what...

-Are you related to Eszti Farkas? -What's happened?

BLINDED

-Thank you! Hi. -It looked really bad.

She was standing in the middle of the road. Said she was heading to you.

-Thanks so much for calling. Truly. -Of course!

-Come. What are you doing here? -I don't know why I'm here.

-But it's cold. -Yeah, it's freezing.

-Right, we're going home. -Ugh...

Come on now, sweetheart. Let's have a bit of tea.

TALK TO BEA! DIAGNOSIS

-What's this? -It's the land of milk and honey.

What are you talking about? Grandma, what is this?

Has thrombosis prophylaxis been given as prescribed?

-Yes. -Good.

-Any other questions or comments? -No.

-Okay. Let's go. -Scalpel, please.

Scalpel at 08:13.

-Can we do another one? -Let's do that.

Be ready to open there. Right, now dab that.

Okay, now I'm applying pressure.

-You just need to stitch him up. -Okay. Suture.

So between April and May, 21 patient safety meetings were held with...

Excuse me?

Who's leading the investigation now, then?

Kathrine! Who's leading the investigation?

What do you mean care home? Has she already been diagnosed? When...

Yes, I'm still here. Sorry, I just need a moment to take this in.

I'll call you back. Thanks very much. I'll be in touch soon.

-Karim! I'm so happy to see you! -Hi.

I've got something for you.

It's second-hand, but I embroidered it.

What does it say on it?

"Hero"! -Well, that's what you are.

Hi, Petter!

Okay. I'm coming.

They couldn't operate any more. It had gone too far.

When are Felicia and the kids coming? Do they know?

-What happens now? -Nothing.

I don't want the kids here today! I can't handle it. I don't want that!

Bloody hell, Karim. I'm so fucking scared right now.

I'm so fucking scared! I don't want to die!

I don't want to die yet! Not now!

-Hi, Felicia. -Hi!

He wants to speak to you...alone.

Why does she have rabbits and you've got...

-But they're not rabbits! -They're dogs.

I'm trying to build a road to the actual house that's over there.

It's going to land here. So, are you still building the house?

Okay, all of this has to go.

What the hell have you done?

We'll have to go another round with the lawyers.

We're uncomfortable with the agreements Ibti signed.

You can't go around making promises left, right and centre.

Our legal team aren't your personal assistants!

We can't use anything we've got from her as a source.

I'm thinking that story...

I don't need advice from a tourist just passing through this industry!

-This is important journalistic... -If we want to make...

Sweetheart, I was in this business before you were born!

So let me be an old bastard and ask you to listen more and talk less!

And what the fuck are you doing here?!

Don't you have a load of dead routers to fix?

Yeah, absolutely...

Sorry. Can I have a quick word with Bea?

Alright, Bea! What the fuck happened last night?

-Did you bring him for a cyber attack? -No. He gave her tech support.

So she could download a self written file at her workplace.

Even if you got the report, it was unusable.

I get that, but it would've given us something to work from.

You promised the hospital director to stay in the background.

And the part about the dying father doesn't belong here either.

Then there's nothing left! I can bin the whole thing.

What's publishable is a properly conducted investigation–

–about how tax money is being wasted.

Patients are at risk of dying in queues, and they know that. That's the real story.

They pushed Petter to the back of the queue for three months.

He could've sought other help if he'd known about the collapse at EI.

Now he's going to die! He's a father of two!

Don't you see how irresponsible it is to highlight a dying man–

–and then imply it's because of a consultancy firm!

Which is true!

You have no proof they're letting patients die. Pull yourself together!

We don't have cover, Bea.

Great! Cut out everything related to her and her report.

Every fucking bit!

Challenge them in a debate. Confront them live–

–that way you'll also avoid legal trouble.

You can say what you know.

And a dying dad in the studio is emotionally powerful.

Fresh thinking is what's needed to save the paper.

So should we stand here slinging mud at each other?

You'd win.

Nah, I don't fucking know.

It might be the absolute worst idea I've ever heard, but sure.

CBC RISKS CANCER PATIENTS' LIVES ON 'NEW EL'

CONSULTING FIRM CBC TURNS OVER BILLIONS

Old bastard...

-How are you? -I just needed a bit of air.

I'm guessing you don't smoke.

I met his kids today.

He doesn't have the strength to tell them how serious it is.

Fuck's sake, he has to.

My...mum never told me anything.

And then one day she was just gone.

That was almost the worst part, actually.

-So your dad raised you alone? -No. He was never in the picture.

It was... It was my nan...

Sorry.

I just found out that…

That she's moving into a care home today and…

Of course you know it's going to happen eventually, but…

It just feels so damn unreal.

It feels so fucking pointless.

-But I'll pull myself together. -No. You don't have to.

And it's not pointless.

You have a job to do. Just an unusual, big and difficult one.

CBC PUTS CANCER PATIENTS' LIVES AT RISK...

THE 2007 PROJECT HAS BEEN A CASE OF CONFLICTS AND ESCALATED COSTS

PUBLISH

PUBLISHING...

CBC RISKS CANCER PATIENTS' LIVES ON "NEW EL"

What the hell…

CBC invoiced 1.2 million SEK to replace a door.

How long was that crap online?

Nine minutes. Hard to know how many people have read.

They're digging into Kathrine's background at CBC.

The most worrying bit is still the stuff about the cancer ward.

Fucking cunt-Farkas!

Yeah, yeah. Oh, thanks, Bea.

-Hello and welcome! -Thanks.

-This is your new home. -But how do I know which one's mine?

You'll learn. We'll make sure you feel at home.

-Have you seen the park outside? -Oh là là.

It's lovely in the summer, it's green and you can sit out there and have coffee.

Bea, it's beautiful! Really beautiful!

It's a bit bare now, but once you've got your things here, it'll feel nicer.

Where the fuck have you been?

-Why the fuck haven't you answered? -I was busy.

CBC is filing a lawsuit against you and Dagbladet!

Don't you dare say I didn't warn you!

Beatrice Farkas has been warned multiple times.

The moment she published, she knew the legal risk.

If she doesn't resign, we terminate her contract.

Not your decision. I'm the editor-in-chief.

For now.

I think we should issue an apology.

No, we use the scandal. The story's gone viral.

Bea is trending on X with thousands of comments.

-Sweetheart, listen... -Use it how?

We offer CBC and Kathrine Solveus the chance to face Bea Farkas.

-Here, in our first live debate. -We don't have a leg to stand on for that!

-That's why we're here. -Bea's passionate about this topic.

It's something that affects us all. We all get old or sick.

"X"? What the hell is this? We're journalists, not fucking pundits!

This paper's going under in the near future unless we make a move.

We've discussed Dagbladet in many VasaCom board meetings.

None of you are safe.

Not unless we start delivering.

I think CBC has made mistakes.

And now they're shitting themselves. That's why they're so aggressive.

We can use that to our advantage. I mean, they're panicking!

They know they'll look guilty if they sue a newspaper.

This could be the cock-up of the century.

How would we even do it? We've got no influence here!

That's the whole point! This is the tension we've been missing.

Bea Farkas might not be the easiest colleague.

But she's a bloody good journalist.

And clearly, CBC is hiding something. Right?

-Sounds like a gamble. -Did you say she's trending on X?

I propose a vote.

I see no upside in facing them in a debate.

The gloves are already off and the publication has hurt us.

People are talking, both inside and outside the industry.

There are things a lawsuit won't settle.

But I can't sit there opposite that fucking cunt!

-Why would they agree to help us? -So we can respond to the criticism.

Clarify our position and point out flaws in their report.

-We'll sue the crap out of them! -We can't hide behind the lawyers.

I've talked to our international division, and they're worried.

Apparently, lots of unions and parts of management think you're weak.

So now is not the time to go silent.

Then I want to share the fallout with all of you.

Of course. CBC will need to offer up a scapegoat too.

Nico! Come in.

You know, I've started getting manzilians.

It's a bit cheeky! And free is always nice.

You've met the legal hounds.

This is about the defamation case against Bea Farkas in Dagbladet.

We're not sure going on the attack wins us any sympathy.

But it seems reasonable.

-But you'll be well compensated. -Now I don't know if I...

We need to use your name, so you'll have to take one for the team.

-You're throwing me under the bus? -"Under the bus"?

Please, Bjarne. Careful what you say out loud. Okay?

That kind of thing manifests faster than you think.

We're just looking at a transfer.

There's an office with a fantastic view over the Lule River.

Wait, I have to take the blame for this shitshow?

Technically, you are responsible.

And if I refuse? We've got labour laws, right?

Paragraph 4.12: "The employer is not required to consider–

–how much the employee at fault wants to keep their job."

-We'll find a solution, right? -I need to talk it over with my wife.

"Pawfitness by Chrissy"…

I can give you a million to help you get started.

-You mean euros? -Swedish.

-Danish? -Swedish.

-And I want 30 percent. -30?

Aksel, I don't think 30 sounds like a very attractive number.

I think 15 sounds sexier.

20. Final offer. I'll give you more funding.

Okay. Deal.

Deal.

Take that down.

-Come in! -Hi!

Good to see you.

Am I interrupting anything?

From what I understand, you dislike Dagbladet.

That's putting it mildly. It's turned into some left-wing sludge.

Honestly, I think it's dangerous for Sweden–

–that narrow, lazy perspective they have.

What would you say to turning back the clock? Take a seat.

What do you mean by "turning back the clock"?

As the new owner of Dagbladet, I'm wondering if we've got the right profile.

If not, who could steer us in the right direction?

I thought of you.

I LOVE YOU YOUR DAD

That man is a monster with a silver tongue.

He wasn't going to ruin your life too. It was for the best.

How the hell do you know what's best for me?

Keep your voice down!

You don't get to make those decisions for me! Hear me?

He was going to leave his wife, take care of her, and pay for everything.

But when she got sick, he broke her heart!

Was he around when I was little and Mum was ill?

-Who? -Dad!

You said Mum was waiting for him, that he was married!

They forced me!

-Who did? -The communists, of course!

Grandma, it's me, Bea. Do you recogni…?

Find anything?

I'm not sure…

I'll help you prep. Get you battle-ready and fighting fit.

If you want, that is.

You can always improve things. But the idea that we'd deliberately–

–neglect a department and endanger patients is absurd.

And this is where we'd need to reference Ibti.

Can't you go after the cost side? Or explore the internal conflicts.

An internal review was done. A lot of the hospital leadership resigned.

It's not unusual to need a new structure in the organisation.

Truth is, the hospital's had issues.

But we have routines for investigating and analysing operations–

–which we've clearly followed.

-This is never going to work. -Maybe you're right.

We should try with Ibti.

His name's Petter Johansson, 49, married with two kids.

He thought it was stomach acid. Then they diagnosed cancer.

He was put on a waiting list, but the system glitched.

It took five weeks before they even noticed he was still in the queue.

-By then the tumour had spread… -I can't do this.

We've got a chance to tell the truth.

If you join me in a live debate, we could convince everyone…

You said we were speaking off the record.

Then you wrote that a source revealed issues on the cancer ward.

-You were anonymous. -You've completely screwed me.

You both need to leave. I'm done. Out.

-Please… -Out, I said!

No, it wasn't exactly smart to publish it.

I was just so bloody angry and frustrated.

Maybe I'd had a glass or two of wine as well.

Stupid, definitely. Especially after everything that's happened.

Thanks.

The debate's going to be a bloody party–

–for everyone who hates me. At least there's that.

All those trolls just waiting to see me humiliated.

-Ignore them. -It won't be pretty.

It will be a real fucking train wreck.

I'll have another!

Should I check if Petter can come?

-I think I can get him. -That'd be great.

But isn't it a bit cynical, dragging him into this?

I mean, he's…

…dying.

Maybe that's why he wants to! To make a change.

Make sure it doesn't happen to others.

Thanks.

-For what? -For... Fuck's sake, sitting here.

Caring about my shitshow.

And for saving my life.

You're welcome.

No, come on!

-I have to get home and sleep. -You have to? That's boring.

Don't you want to see my place first?

-Am I too old for you or something? -Stop it…

-So, are we…? -Help me.

-Bea… -Stop talking so much.

-We've had a few drinks. -I've had a drink, not you.

-Help me, then! -Bea… Wait.

-Maybe we should just… -Then why'd you come back with me?

What the hell kind of childish behaviour is this?

I've changed my mind about Petter. I want him in.

I'll call him tomorrow.

Dagbladet's controversial article on New EI has drawn strong criticism.

There's been heavy debate on social media in recent days.

Now the two sides will face off in a live televised debate.

We look forward to responding to the accusations.

Farkas' article contains numerous inaccuracies and slander.

We even considered legal action. We're on solid ground.

But after internal discussions…

Breakfast.

-Sorry about last night. -Drop it.

I'm not in the habit of forcing myself on people.

It's fine.

Just a fucking #MeToo hag trying to force a blow...

Stop it. Go shower. Petter can see us now, straight away.

By the way, Nico Karamanlis and Kathrine Solveus used to be a couple.

They handle 100 million in tax money between them.

-It's clearly a conflict of interest. -Bit messy, isn't it…?

Don't forget you promised me a date.

You should probably find some young, fresh girl your own age.

Mm, good advice.

Don't say I didn't warn you. I'm a total fucking mess.

Fuck…

Thanks for doing this.

Bea, I just spoke to Petter. He's not doing well.

So I'm going over to him.

I'd still like access to the numbers during the debate.

Sorry, Louise! We have to cancel. Our cancer patient isn't coming.

Website traffic is high. It's too late to back out now.

Take your seats, everyone! We're live in 20.

-You've got this, okay? -Take your seats!

Can I check the graphics at the start? On the left side.

I'm just trying to do my job. Can you wait a second?

Welcome to Dagbladet's first live-streamed debate.

In the studio we have Nico Karamanlis and Kathrine Solveus–

–here to respond to Dagbladet's article–

–on Crescent Bay Consulting's work with New EI.

Joining us as well is Beatrice Farkas, who led the investigation.

Let's start with Nico Karamanlis.

You've been critical of the report. In what way?

It hurts when someone claims CBC only cares about profits.

In fact, we're driven by a desire to put the patient first.

Actually, my mum's here today.

She's got chronic strain injuries from 30 years as a care worker.

She's why I got into this.

Yes, there are flaws and issues in our operations. I'm first to admit that.

But real change takes time.

Implementing new structures takes time, seeing results even longer.

Dagbladet's investigation pointed out some invoicing errors–

–which led to real system changes.

Consult Bjarne Rasmussen, who was responsible for EI, has been reassigned.

That said, I stand by...

...the New Eleonora Institute's 'Patients First' model–

–which focuses on the patient's full journey through care–

–as the best and most forward-thinking model in the world.

We don't just measure medical outcomes–

–we measure the patient experience. That's groundbreaking.

But let's get to the heart of this – why we're even here tonight:

Namely, Dagbladet's attempt to paint CBC as greedy capitalists.

We're accused of hiding a report investigating the cancer unit at EI.

Well, here it is.

The secret report.

-What the hell?! -What the hell is he on about?

Go on.

We have absolutely nothing to hide.

If you look at page 12, you'll see the cancer unit queues–

–are mostly due to patients not turning up…

Oh, for fuck's sake…

Why didn't you know about this? Aren't you journalists?

...Dagbladet's so-called investigation.

I want to know where these claims are from.

Or even better – I want an apology.

Beatrice Farkas, how do you respond?

Yes, maybe CBC entered healthcare with good intentions.

But they've billed over a billion in taxpayer money.

And they can't even account for 300 million of it.

That's money drained from a hospital–

–while the staff are on their knees trying to care for patients.

Now we're getting into more serious territory.

In your article, you suggest we should be prosecuted. Based on what?

I've tried to get the report, so I'm glad you brought it today.

-So you just made it all up? -I obviously have a source.

That's what you claim. Do you realise the damage you've caused us?

It'll be very interesting to hear your comments on the fact–

–that you, responsible for these direct awards of consulting services–

–worth over 100 million, in fact have a private relationship–

–with CBC's Nico Karamanlis.

I'm just curious to hear what the county council board has to say about that.

Of course, we keep our roles separate. We don't talk about this privately.

Half a million streams.

It's the first time VasaCom has produced content that's actually taken off.

Sorry, but this is completely bizarre.

Kathrine's a director at the largest hospital in the Nordics.

She's got an impeccable track-record.

CBC is one of the world's most successful consultancy firms.

We received top marks for social responsibility–

–according to last year's index. From whom? Dagbladet!

Absolutely. But that index doesn't even take into account...

I don't understand how anyone can see this as anything–

–but a journalist exaggerating and lying for clickbait?

Farkas shouldn't be working for a major paper or calling herself a journalist.

-Beatrice Farkas, your response? -What am I even meant to say to that?

-It's just... Level is... wow! -She's got no answer.

That sums up Dagbladet brilliantly.

Throwing out serious accusations without backing them up.

How is this so-called respected journalist allowed to spout whatever she wants…

-No, this is insane! -Cut this now.

-Bea Farkas, I want to ask a question. -Stop the broadcast!

-Half a million people are watching. -Cut it, for fuck's sake!

Do you consider what you write to be reasonable–

–or are you just chasing new subscriptions for VasaCom?

We need to take a short break, but we'll be right back.

Then it's your turn, Beatrice Farkas.

Hello?

We're back in five, four, three...

Welcome back. – Beatrice Farkas.

You've faced serious personal accusations.

-Would you like to respond? -No.

I don't care what CBC thinks of my journalism.

That's not what we're here for.

We might give the floor to someone who actually knows what happened.

Namely, Ibtisam Sifa.

My name is Ibtisam Sifa.

I worked at Crescent Bay Consulting for two years.

Five months ago, I completed an investigation–

–into operations at the New Eleonora Institute.

It revealed a 130 percent excess mortality in the cancer ward.

-That's simply not true. -You'll have a chance to respond.

-Let her speak! -But that's not true!

You altered the report.

Twenty patients with operable cancer died due to your poor planning.

-Wait a sec! She's unwell... -Let her finish.

CBC let patients die to protect the value of their care model.

You turned down external help from other hospitals.

-How many more have to die? -These are outrageous accusations!

I've received threats and bribes from you, Nico–

–to keep quiet and falsify the statistics.

-Nico, would you like to respond? -No. There's nothing to respond to. Empty.

-Oh, come on! -He's walking out!

He's walking out!

Nico Karamanlis and Kathrine Solveus have decided to leave the studio–

–which also brings this debate to an end.

You actually did quite well, Louise. An old bastard like me can admit that.

-You owe me a drink. -Probably. But another time.

I have to go pick up Lisa.

-Lisa? -Yeah. We hadn't chosen a name.

But when I was going through Nina's things, I found her list.

And that name was at the top.

-Lisa is perfect. -Isn't it?

Good job!

Politicians and advocacy groups are calling for a thorough inquiry–

–into CBC's operations following Dagbladet's exposé.

Prosecutors have opened a preliminary investigation into involuntary–

–manslaughter after cancer patients at New EI faced long delays...

CBC has invoiced New EI for nearly 300 million kronor.

A fifth of those invoices...

The procurement of external consultancy services from CBC–

–has shown serious procedural flaws.

Solveus says it's good that the issue is now being properly investigated.

FORGET LULEÅ. I RESIGN. BJARNE RASMUSSEN.

SEND

-Hey there. -Hey.

So, here's the thing. I've been approached by CBC UK…

-Why didn't they come to me directly? -I'll show you your contract with us.

-Clause 3.02 stipulates... -Wait a sec. Are you serious?

Clause 3.02 stipulates your personal legal liability.

I spoke on the radio about my life story, and it's a massive lie.

What do you want me to say, sorry? Alright! Sorry, then.

-Can't you just tell the truth? -When has that ever helped anyone?

You hid his letter. Do you realise how messed up that is?

Maybe it was wrong…

Were they even in love?

Sweet Bea, your mother loved you more than anything.

But he was married. He had a newborn baby girl at home.

So I have a half-sister? And his family doesn't know I exist?

Please, Bea! Leave it alone. That can only end one way.

-Hi, sweetheart. -Hey.

Nice to see you.

What's this, trying to fatten your dad up again?

-You were more fun that way. -I've never been fun.

That was your mum.

I want to make changes at Dagbladet.

-What? You never said anything. -I'm saying it now.

I'm firing Rapp and letting Farkas go. I need new energy.

-Who? -Tim Holsén.

-Do you know his background? -We were all more radical in our youth.

Even I nearly leaned left.

Maybe the paper would be better off run by someone with some sense.

Yeah, the board will love a former Nazi.

I'm negotiating with some of them. There aren't many, you're one of them.

-Is this about revenge? -Does it matter?

I think firing Rapp and Farkas is a mistake.

I don't think so.

-I'll think about it. -Good. But don't take too long.

HEY DAD, DO YOU WANT TO MEET?

HEY KENT, DO YOU WANT TO MEET?
