As Anna and Daniel are walking home one night, they are attacked by 4 boys, but Daniel goes for it, and while three of them escape, one, Sune, is left with a broken nose. He reports Daniel for violence, and the investigation points to Daniel going way over the line. Anna admits that Daniel tried to smash a mobile phone containing evidence, and he acted very violently with a particular fighting technique, giving the prosecutor clear evidence that he violated his right to legal self-defence. Meanwhile, Samira comes to visit Kim, who has been trying in vain to cook. Instead, he has had to settle for sushi take-away, which neither he nor Samira really like. Despite his slightly cheesy dish, he still gets a kiss from Samira. The case against Daniel is clear, but at the final interrogation, Daniel suddenly has new arguments ready. Sune took part in a violent demonstration in Malmö and injured one of Daniel's colleagues. Daniel has the word of a psychologist that he may have contracted post-traumatic stress disorder, which has come up in him when he recognised Sune during the attack. This may justify his violent actions as self-defence, and the investigator will therefore look into the case again. However, Anna is not entirely sure that Daniel is telling the whole truth - and Daniel cannot convince her.
