Original subtitles

This is 80. The missing man should be considered as extremely dangerous..

8 1-20, can you hear me? Come in.

Eight, one, two, zero. Can you hear me? Come in.

News-flash. A policeman was killed and another was badly injured-

-In a violent assault on County Road 46 at six o'clock in the afternoon.

The perpetrator disappeared in the police car.

According to the police there is yet no description of the offender-

-But the incident has been linked with events in Gosseberga-

-Where the wanted Lisbeth Salander was arrested after shooting incident.

She is treated at Sahlgrenska Hospital and her condition is critical.

The police are expected to convene for a press conference later today.

We have removed a bullet in the head. It is a serious injury.

And she has gunshot wounds in the left hip and right shoulder.

- Can she make it? - She is stable now.

Without complications it should work.

- May I visit her? - Not now.

I am a close friend.

You can wait, but I promise nothing.

I'm coming.

- Is Lisbeth Salander innocent? - I don't know.

Read it. He commited serious legal assaults against Salander.

Everything is documented here.

It's a police report from '93

It's classified. Where did you get that?

- By Mike Blomkvist from Millennium. - Where did he get it from?

That you may have to ask him.

Hello.

Can you open your eyes?

My name is Anders Jonasson. I am a doctor here.

You are in Sahlgrenska Hospital in Gothenburg.

Can you count to ten?

One, two, three, four...

That is good.

Thanks. Hello.

- Do we have any names? - Yes, Holm and Jonasson.

- Oh, shit. - You can see her now. Three minutes.

You have to get through this, Lisbeth.

I would like to report a crime. My daughter tried to murder me.

We will return to it, but first tell us about Ronald Niedermann.

We believe that he murdered a police officer and wounded another in the afternoon.

I do not know what he's doing.

But I know however-

-that my daughter tried to kill me tonight.

Ronald Niedermann is wanted. Do you know where he can be?

No. But between us ...

I'm getting a little afraid of him.

I'm just an old injured man.

Disabled.

- We know who you are. - We have read your SAPO file.

We want to hear you on the three Stockholm murders of-

journalist Dag Svensson and his girlfriend Mia Bergman

And the solicitor Nils Bjurman.

That I know nothing about. Nothing.

Damn it. Next time we hear him, we must be better prepared

I go to Gosseberga now. Colleagues promised to pick me up.

- See you. - Yeah, see you.

- Hi. - Hi. Have you met Lisbeth Salander?

- They said she was sedated. - She is.

Have you met Zalachenko? What did he say?

- What happens now? - I must speak with the doctors.

Then take the train to StockhoIm.

You can ride with me. I have a car. If you want to.

- Dr Jonasson will be here shortly. - Thanks.

I intend to write the story about Lisbeth and publish it in Millennium.

I intend to write it all.

The Security Service and a psychiatrist got her locked in a madhouse.

- There will be some trouble. - Yes, that's for sure.

Until you see that Niedermann is involved.

Proof of that is pretty thin yet. And he is not the type to confess.

I need someone on the inside that I can trust.

I need to know what happens regarding the indictment against Lisbeth.

It sounds like a good way to get fired.

Place her in seven and prepare her, I'll look at it later.

I was wondering when you would show up.

We have discussed how we will help you.

But to develop a strategy we need to hear your version too.

And how should the strategy look like?

We'll find out together.

But it will probably be hard to avoid a short prison sentence.

Ah. Is that so?

We'll assist with a lawyer and all that is needed.

But you must cooperate and give us some guarantees.

Niedermann. Niedermann is the culprit!

It was he who shot Lisbeth.

There are currently serious allegations against you. It will be hard to get around them.

That's your problem.

If you do not solve it-

-I'll contact the media.

I have names, dates, events, everything.

I can crush you completely.

I am a survivor. That you ought to know now.

- Zalachenko, you don't understand ... - It's you who do not understand!

This conversation is over.

News-flash. After the Gosseberga police murder-

-search for the offender has intensified.

The police have identified him as the 35-year-old Ronald Niedermann.

He's blond, short hair, is 205 cm tall and powerfully built.

He is armed and considered by police as extremely dangerous.

No, no, no!

Hello, Lisbeth.

How are you?

Do you remember me? Anders Jonasson's my name.

It is understandable if you're tired.

You had a bullet wound in the head.

We managed to remove the bullet.

It has not damaged any vital parts, As far as we can see.

You also had gunshot wounds in the right shoulder and left hip.

But it seems that they will heal fine.

Can it give me brain damage?

That's complex and sometimes difficult to see, but you should not worry.

The police wanted to talk to you.

But I said no because of your condition.

They will surely return, but I will not let them come yet.

How is Zalachenko?

You mean Karl Axel Bodin? He's down the corridor.

Severely beaten, but he's patched and his condition is stable.

Damn.

My Text is between 40 and 50 pages.

I want to have parts of Bjork investigation by fax.

To make it stronger, better looking.

- What kind of photos do we have? - Not much.

We can get pictures of Gunnar Bjork, Teleborian and Zalachenko.

- Some people from St. Stephen's Hospital. - Yes, and Lisbeth.

- It sounds like at least 75 pages. - There may be more. It will be good.

- Can we get more names? - No, we must focus on what we have.

We can hope that the publication will shed some light on this.

That one thing leads to another, and so on.

Now let's get to work.

How are you anyway? You look quite worn out.

- I am completely drained. - You want to talk?

No, not now. I gotta go home and sleep.

Then I should do it. Go home and sleep now. Okay?

Her name is Lisbeth Salander.

Sweden has come to know her through press conferences and headlines.

She is 27 years old. A meter and a half in height.

She has been described as psychopathic, murderess and lesbian satanist.

We reveal how government officials conspired against her-

-To protect a pathologically deranged killer.

Alexander Zalachenko is a renegade GRU agent from the Soviet Union.

In Sweden, he is guilty of serious crime:

Arms trading, drug dealing, and sex trafficking

Alexander Zalachenko is Lisbeth Salander's father.

Mr Bodin. Come, let's go back. This is not your room.

This way.

Salander struck again

MURDERER HUNTED THROUGHOUT SWEDEN

- There you go, keep it. - Thanks.

- I am looking for Fredrik Clinton. - Who may I say is calling?

- An old colleague of his. - Father's resting, but come inside.

Zalachenko does what's best for him regardless of consequences.

That's my assessment too.

If he starts talking he must have proof.

The evidence is only available in the archive, and he can't get in.

No, he can't.

But we can't risk that he starts talking.

We need to silence him at any cost.

On that we agree. As usual.

But you can see how I am.

Fredrik, we need you. One last time.

I can't.

I spend five hours-

-Every other day at the hospital on the dialysis machine,

I will die soon.

I can't get a new kidney.

That's it, my friend.

- Thanks honey. - They're freshly baked.

I didn't know you had a daughter.

No.

We don't know too much about each other's private lives.

Despite the fact that we have worked together for...

... yes, more than 35 years.

Lisbeth Salander, then?

The indictment is already started. What do we do with her?

The prosecutor wants Lisbeth arrested for the attempted murder of Zalachenko.

But the trial will be about equally important things than the assassination attempt.

What happened in Gosseberga is the result of a long story.

It's about violence, exploitation of Lisbeth and her mother.

Here you have strong evidence to build your defense on.

- This is classified. - Don't worry about it.

You got it from a journalist who did not say where it came from.

THE PRIME MINISTER DANGER

MURDER

OBSERVER

KING OF SWEDEN

Archbishop

PRIME MINISTER

SJ's X2000 No. 429 from Stockholm has arrived on track number 6.

I don't need a lawyer.

You will be charged with the attempted murder of your dad.

Micke thinks they will try to get you in the mental hospital again-

-So yes, you need a lawyer.

But you can choose another.

Unless you want the court to appoint a public defender.

Does your silence mean that I should leave?

It's your choice.

Do you have a cigarette?

- Do you have a nicotine patch? - Yes, one moment.

Hi, I'm in Room Three, Will the stretcher come soon?

I got this from Micke. I think you know what it contains?

The two of us need to talk a lot with each other.

So I want you to be completely honest with me.

Micke has told me most of it but some things he says that-

- You must decide if you want to tell.

I assume you know what he thinks.

There is something about computers and a DVD.

After everything we've done for you through the years-

-Then you threaten us. It is quite rude.

I am a survivor. I do what I must to survive.

No, you do it because you are an evil and throughly rotten man without honor.

Without morality.

I came here to give you our answer.

We will not help you this time, you bastard.

You have no choice. Do you not understand that?

Life has taught me that there is always a choice.

Idiots.

- I will crush you. - You will not do anything.

No, lay down! Sorry! I'll go and see what happened.

Out!

He has a gun!

Quick!

Wait, I'm coming. Hold me tight.

Hold on to me.

No ...

We monitor airports and ferry berths and we should continue.

What are the chances that Niedermann's left the country?

I think he is in Sweden.

But he is hunted throughout Europe. He will not go anywhere.

- No girlfriends? - He has lived as a hermit.

He has only had contact with Zalachenko who lied to him.

But he listened to Zalachenko anyway.

You've read the report...

...Gunnar Bjork's.

I've browsed through it.

Maybe he thinks with Zalachenko he is protected

That's why he did not say anything.

Yes, it ... may be so.

But we must keep him out of this.

To be more precise, we need him.

The public prosecutor has withdrawn investigation, so it's moot.

What the hell are you saying?

Bjork's investigation is useless because it's classified.

Zalachenko was shot. He is dead.

Someone came in Sahlgrenska and shot him dead.

Why didn't the police provide better protection?

Completely incomprehensible. You wouldn't think things like that could happen here.

Going armed into a hospital and killing a patient is incredible.

He pulled the door handle, but couldn't open it. It was so unreal.

An old man with a gun.

Then I heard the shot, when he shot himself.

Are you sure that he tried to get to Lisbeth?

Yes, it was awful! I have never been so scared.

- Shall I come down to you? - No.

You do not need to come. I'll sleep with my friend Vera �kerlund in K�lltorp.

- Press conference at 15:00 at the police station. - I'll have to run.

-Take care of yourself now. -Yes.

- We'll talk. - Yes. Bye.

Well... Fredrik?

What in the world...? Come in, come.

We are trying to get information about it now.

At what time was it? Find out now.

What the hell?

- You've heard what happened? - Zalachenko has been shot.

It seems Evert Gullberg shot him.

It's chaos down there. We haven't had any confirmation.

Then I can confirm it. It was Evert who shot him.

To complete the plans.

- Should I get coffee or something? - No, not now.

What the hell are you talking about? What plans?

Gullberg had only a few months left to live. He had liver cancer.

He chose to make a final, last effort for us.

He went down with honors.

- You knew he would kill him? - Of course.

His mission was to silence Zalachenko.

And Salander too, was the plan.

Are you equally as insane as Gullberg?

Watch your mouth, Hallberg. It was the right decision.

- We did what was necessary. - Necessary? Decision?

You and Gullberg have no mandate to decide anything!

Whatever happens, Zalachenko's death cannot be linked to us.

Nor Evert Gullberg either.

Our task is to make the decisions-

-That no one else dares to.

Least of all politicians. It's that simple.

And one more thing ...

I have come back into service.

I lead the operational activities-

-Until this crisis is over.

The man who fired the lethal shot and then took his own life-

-has been identified as a 78-year-old pensioner.

He has worked as an accountant and tax lawyer.

- What was his name? - We will not disclose that at this time.

Is there a connection to Lisbeth Salander?

We can certainly reject any possible connection to Lisbeth Salander.

This was a lonely perpetrator who acted as he did-

-based on his own paranoid imagination and ideas.

He has sent confused messages to famous politicians and the media-

-In which there are death threats to Karl Axel Bodin.

Why?

Security Service are investigating, but he was probably mentally ill.

What does this have to do with the case against Lisbeth Salander?

Currently nothing.

Karl Axel Bodin had given testimony-

And we have forensic evidence against Salander.

He tried to enter Lisbeth Salander's room-

-But you do not see any connection with Salander.

Why would he try getting into her room?

No comment. But we have strengthened our monitoring of Sahlgrenska.

He claims that Bodin was behind the Palme murders-

And poisoned folks with chlorine. Sick and sad.

How did he come in contact with Zalachenko?

He shoots Zalachenko, goes for Lisbeth, and it's a coincidence?

I don't know.

What if he knew Karl AxeI Bodin was Zalachenko-

And his daughter, Lisbeth.

A handful of people knew Zalachenkos' identity. Not Gullberg.

But think again. This is about something else, huh?

That we shouldn't exclude, but everything shows-

-That there is a confused old uncle from Gnesta who derailed.

The public prosecutor has withdrawn Bjork's report.

Because the contents are classified.

It figures.

Talk to you, Vera. Hello.

Hey! Can I get my bag?

Give me the bag!

What the hell!

One guy on moped snatched my bag.

What? How are you? Are you okay?

Yeah I'm good. But in that bag was Bjork's investigation.

It's okay. I've a copy.

Annie, I'll call you.

- Annie. - Yes

They've snatched my copy too. I went home to check.

- It's catastrophic. - That's the least one can say.

The most powerful evidence for Millenniums' next issue. The whole thing has collapsed.

No ... Shit, shit, shit!

- What do you think? - I don't know.

- What can we do? - I don't know.

We have no evidence against Teleborian and Bjork. That's the worst.

- Sonny? When did you get out? - This morning.

- Magge too? - No, he will remain for a while.

- Nice to see you. Do you know what happened? - No idea.

The police did a raid on the day you were arrested.

They found nothing. Then the blond bastard came here looking for a place to hide.

You and Magges' buddy.

He's not my pal. He's hunted throughout Sweden.

Therefore, he needed a hideout. I sent him home to Viktor.

Damn ...

Sonny!

What the hell?

Jenny ... Jenny!

Jenny!

Jenny? It's me - Sonny.

Who was it?

Nieder ...

Niedermann.

Viktor, Viktor ...

Niedermann ... He's gonna fucking die for this.

He's gonna fucking die for this.

Decent of you to come here. We don't meet so frequently nowadays.

No, we don't.

-Do you live out here permanently now? -Yes.

You know about Evert Gullberg at Sahlgrenska?

Yes.

I had no fucking clue.

- He and Clinton did it all. - I thought Clinton was dead.

Not entirely.

Was he looking for Salander, too? It sounded so on the news.

They should have both been silenced. And the trial was to be prevented.

It was the idea.

- Will he try for Salander again? - No, it's probably too risky.

But Clinton could lock her in the madhouse again.

It has been arranged before.

It feels like hell began when I gave Nils Bjurmans' investigation.

There may be a link, but you couldn't predict it.

No, but I think about it all the time. It hurts me.

Do not wear it. Now the report and it's copies are secure.

So at that point it's over.

What happens now?

I don't know.

But I think Clinton is capable of anything.

Yes, Peter Teleborian.

This is Fred Clinton.

I assume based on Annika that my phone is being tapped

We also assume-

-The editorial staff's phones and your mobile are bugged.

So we should not talk on the phones-

-But we will use these with prepaid cards.

We use them only when we are talking about Zalachenko and proceedings with Lisbeth.

- Everything else we talk about normal. - Is email secure?

No. We need to think about what we write and encrypt it.

Don't you see? This would mean that the entire editorial office was bugged.

No, because there is always someone.

Better be on the safe side. Anyone of us can sleep over.

- We make a schedule until the trial. - And get a sore back.

Bjork's investigation were stolen in two places on the same day. It's no coincidence.

Zalachenko's murdered neither. Now they are trying to cover his tracks.

- The shooter at Sahlgrenska was a mental case. - Or so they would have us believe.

But I don't think so anymore.

Then those who protected Zalachenko started it. SAPO, then?

Yes, it can be SAPO, but we don't know.

But they have great resources and they are onto us.

The good news is that those who listen to Mikael and Annika's phones-

- do not think we have access to Bjork's report anymore.

And they must continue to believe that.

The indictment against Lisbeth Salander is not complicated.

Even if plaintiff Alexander ZaIachenko is dead.

But if the truth about Zalachenko transpires, the trial may become more complicated.

It applies to human life and Swedish relations with foreign nations-

-And the security police's top-secret contacts.

I read the reports - well, mostly as background material.

In the indictment against Lisbeth Salander it has no great relevance.

And the Attorney has confiscated it.

But parts of it are useful.

Especially as Lisbeth Salander has tried to kill her father before.

I'll see if you can get access to that part.

Yes, it could perhaps be useful.

Then I will make sure you get it.

Who is your boss?

My orders come from the very top.

This means that you can't talk to anyone but me about this.

I'll be extremely discreet.

- It's Bjork. - Jan Bublanski, violence division.

- I propose a meeting. - Oh, do you? Yeah.

I'm involved in an investigation you can probably help me with.

The case of Zalachenko's murder. You know a lot about him.

I left the service years ago.

I thought a friendly conversation between colleagues...

- At home with you, maybe? - I don't think so.

Of course I can also send someone to bring you in.

All right. Come tomorrow, after 11.

How can he be so stupid as to agree to a meeting?

What's he thinking?

Wasn't it Bjork who gave the Salander-investigation to Bjurman?

Yes, unfortunately.

- What's on the menu? - Oh, yeah. Hamburger today.

- Go ahead. - Thanks.

Lisbeth?

- Need Help? - No thanks.

Enjoy your meal.

I have a suggestion.

I don't drive home. I've made a reservation.

Would you sleep over?

I'm exhausted. I hardly slept at the office.

So we just sleep.

It's the fourth time I see this car here.

-Are you sure? -Yes.

- Anders Jonasson? - Yes.

Peter Teleborian.

I am the senior consultant at St. Stephen's psychiatric clinic in Uppsala.

I need to talk to you.

It is about one of your patients. Lisbeth Salander.

- Yes? - Well... Okay.

I've had her under my care since she was twelve years old-

-And I have a very good insight into her pyschological disorder.

- How does it look? - Lisbeth is seriously mentally disturbed.

She has obvious delusions with paranoid schizophrenic tendencies.

And like all sociopaths she completely lacks empathy.

Simply put...

I perceive her as withdrawn, but not as a paranoid sociopath.

She's extremely manipulative. It's part of her disease.

She shows what she thinks you want to see.

Of course, I am deeply concerned for her mental condition.

I understand that.

I'll have to see her to assess her condition before the trial.

I can unfortunately not help you.

I have responsibilty for Lisbeth-

-and she's too weak to meet anyone other than her lawyer.

I have the court's authorization to have a meeting with her.

I had hoped to avoid being formal, between colleagues, but I have to.

As her doctor you should know that it's my assessment that applies here-

-Regardless of what the court says.

So I must ask you to wait patiently for my assessment to change.

Well.

I had hoped for a more professional response.

Bjork?

Hell.

Hello. Are you all right?

Can you look at it?

- How am I doing? - You're definitely improving.

I'll make sure that you get help to get started with rehabilitation.

- I do not need help. - I think so. Don't scratch the crust.

And you should eat a little better.

You should do something about the food.

- Food? - Get pizza or something.

I don't know if pizza's in the budget of the County Council.

A Dr. Peter Teleborian wanted to meet you.

He said that you had contact before.

He had to go with unfinished business.

Good.

It's been like this with us-

We have worked together for decades-

-Without knowing each other privately.

We have worked a long time with Gunnar-

-I knew him as a strong and reliable employee.

That he chose to end his life by his own hand-

-is hard to accept.

But it was his choice.

And that I respect.

Can we rule out that the government has been aware of it?

They must have known that a Russian spy defected to Sweden.

We had a conservative government in 1976 when Zalachenko defected.

30 years and nothing has leaked out.

It would have not been kept secret, if a lot of politicians knew about it.

All write memoirs and biographies now.

It's the same with SAPO. It would be leaked sooner or later.

It may be a small secret group, acting entirely on their own.

With significant resources and influence.

If nobody has leaked about that group in 30 years, where do we start digging?

The best lead we have is Evert Gullberg.

We find something on him, and perhaps it will lead further.

It must not take too much time though, otherwise Millennium will be in trouble.

The magazine must go on sale simultaneously the day the trial starts.

Suicide by hanging?

Gunnar Bjork hanged himself with his belt. That's it.

Who, apart from you, knows that Bublanski contacted Bjork?

None - that I know.

He knew a lot about Zalachenko and Lisbeth. You've read the investigation.

Bjork and Zalachenko are dead. Gullberg tried to silence Lisbeth.

- Don't you think it fits together? - We know nothing about Evert Gullberg.

- Conspiracy theories almost never work out. - No, but it does for me.

They are trying to get to Lisbeth, silence her and manipulate the trial.

This is not Belarus. You can't manipulate trials in Sweden.

And what are you talking about?

I don't know.

But the threat to Lisbeth increases.

She is exposed to a new legal abuse or something far worse.

This one was for you.

Dr. Jonasson has responsibility for Lisbeth Salander. It stands over my decision.

Yes, indeed, but I had not anticipated-

-That he would begin to be awkward and formal.

In addition, he refers to Salander's lawyer-

And requires her approval.

Is it really correct?

Should a lawyer be allowed to impede a psychiatric examination?

Of course not. That's not like Jonasson.

But we have enough respect for his medical assessment.

Salander gets better every day. You may soon see her.

A study like this can take time. Salander is a complicated case.

Goodbye.

These are from Bjork's report as I promised you.

One more thing ...

There have been comments from above-

-whether Jan Bublanski is fit to lead this task.

Well?

- Will Faste take over the investigation? - It's not his decision.

- Whose is it? - Someone who believes in Faste.

I refuse to give it to that idiot. The chauvinist pig hates Salander.

That says enough about him, Sonja.

- I heard that we should split up. - How long have you known?

Late in the afternoon. Do you think someone is conspiring with Ekstrom?

Can I get all the material into my office as soon as possible?

- How's the Niedermann investigation? - Things are going well enough.

I think the bastard has left the country.

I don't like this. Shit, I don't fucking like this.

Hello. We were at the hospital the same night Lisbeth Salander came.

- I remember. - I want to talk to you about something.

I will not disclose information about Lisbeth Salander.

No, I want to give you information about Lisbeth. Important information.

Such a conspiracy! Sorry, but it sounds very unlikely.

I can well understand what you think but I assure you - everything is true.

Everything can be documented and I will shortly publish the whole story.

I'm also helping to build Lisbeth's defense for her trial. That is why I am here.

- I want to ask you one thing. - What?

Lisbeth has secrets.

Private secrets, that she will need in her defense.

To gain access to the evidence against her, she needs this.

- The Prosecutor has forbidden her of communicating. - So I ask you.

We have never faced a more serious threat.

We need to close ranks and defend ourselves.

Do you have anything else?

I just want to know how Gunnar Bjork died.

I knew him. He would never have taken his life.

There are things you never know.

I met Gunnar four weeks ago.

- There's nothing that suggests it. - Did you meet him?

- Where? - In his house in the country.

He just wanted to know what happened when Gullberg shot Zalachenko.

- And there he was told? - Yes.

Why shouldn't he know it?

And now I want to know how Gunnar died.

He hanged himself with his belt.

- Hey, how do you feel? - Okay.

- Can I examine you? - Yes.

Let's see...

- Does it hurt? - No.

- What about your headaches? - Okay.

- They disappear more and more. - Good.

The policeman from Stockholm called again.

He introduced himself as the investigation leader.

He wants to come and question you.

Can you bend your head back a bit?

Not too much.... He was quite annoyed that we are so stubborn.

I cannot keep them at bay with the excuse of your medical condition much longer.

- You get well too quickly. Do you understand? - Yes.

I said that you need a couple more weeks.

After that you will be moved to a detention center in Stockholm.

I saw the tattoo on your back. It's quite large.

- Why have you done it? - Why do you ask?

- Pure curiosity. - Private reasons I will not mention.

All right. Sorry.

Oh, wow.

It must have hurt and taken time.

Yes, it both hurt and took time.

Sorry.

Hello, Lisbeth. With this you can tell your version of what happened.

Your autobiography.

Annika does not know that you have access to this, and so it must remain.

So this is the man in the black Saab? G�ran M�rtensson?

Coastal Hunter. Then the police academy.

Worked in the police from '91 to '96.

- Then he disappeared from external services. - SAPO?

He is employed by the security police, but is on loan to the counter-espionage.

They have never heard of him.

- Do you think they're lying? - No.

When someone tries to hide and muddle what they are doing...

Unfortunately our contact knows no more than that.

What now then?

I can ask an old friend, but then I tell him everything.

- Who is it? - He's working on the protection of the Constitution.

- He can go ahead with it. - Is he reliable?

He's an old friend, Mikael.

- Yes, okay. We'll be in touch. - Yeah, all right.

To sum up what you said-

-several of the security police officers connived-

-With a range of serious crimes against a Swedish woman?

Had her daughter locked up in a psychiatric hospital-

And gave a free pass to a defecting Russian spy in his crimes?

Yes, it's a good summary.

In addition, they broke into journalist Mikael Blomkvist's home-

And assaulted Annika Giannini, Lisbeth Salander's lawyer.

The murder of Zalachenko must now also be counted.

Constitutional protection must defend democracy against internal threats,-

Usually nazis, anarchists...

But now you say that the threat comes from our own organization?

Torsten, you may read it yourself.

See ya.

You are exempted from everything else.

Your only job is to investigate the truth of this.

If even half of this is true, we have a constitutional crisis to manage.

You have read the report, I'll find out who M�rtensson works for.

Then you'll examine Evert Gullbergs' background.

I have never heard of him, but I may have access to the subject.

- You report only to me. - Absolutely.

- Plague, are you there? - Ciao, Wasp. How are you?

- I'll live. I need your help. - Finally.

Peter Teleborian, psychiatrist. I need access to his computer.

Send content to Mikael Blomkvist's hotmail address.

I'll need your help for the trial. I'll pay 30'000.

- Do you have cash? - Yes.

M�rtensson lives in V�llingby.

Lars Falusson is an old offender who's now a locksmith.

A popular craft apparently.

- Then they waited out Blomkvist? - Yes, exactly.

- How long were they there? - 40 Minutes.

- M�rtensson snooped around a lot. - Did Blomkvist see them?

I didn't realize her presence, before I saw her there.

She filmed M�rtensson and Falusson.

- She works for Milton Security. - Susanne Linder.

She was a cop until '98.

- Blomkvist hired Milton? - It seems so.

The camera is between the lamp and the roof in a recess.

We can fast forward if you don't want to watch him tinker.

You can probably count on your apartment being bugged now, Mikael.

We can remove it, if you want.

So revealing that you know you are being watched.

No, let it be. I can live in a different place.

Okay to give the DVD to Annika; but I write about the rape itself.

Have contacted Plague about Teleborian.

He will contact you if he can find something.

We look for old ones. Judging from the color it should be something from 1910.

That's right. It doesn't look recent.

Don't you have a better picture of Zalachenko?

You look tired. Don't you sleep well when your husband is away?

Hello, hello. I have found the connection to the government.

Guess who visited the Prime Minister on October 5th, 1976?

Nobody? An Evert Gullberg and somebody who called himself Hans von Rotting.

They were there three weeks after Zalachenko defected.

- How did you find out? - I checked the visitors book.

There was only one visit on the 5th of October 1976.

Well done, Christer.

But we must prove that they were there to inform him about Zalachenko.

- Were there any notes? - No, just the name and date.

- How do we proceed? - We drive to look at the State Secretaries.

- Two who worked there may know something. - Do we have any names?

One is dead and the other is a retired ambassador.

His name is Bengt Janeryd, he lives outside Grisslehamn.

- We should have a chat with him. - Good. I'll do it.

I know the material better than you and I'm more dangerous to him.

- It's just what I say. - Yeah, I heard it...

Address?

Yes.

You ...

Fucking well done.

Yes, Ekstrom.

Prosecutor Ekstrom just called.

- Can we take it later? - No, this is serious.

Ekstrom was called anonymously someone wanted to talk about Zalachenko.

He wanted to talk about serious crimes being committed during the preliminary investigation.

What crimes?

Ekstrom asked him to call back in the afternoon and phoned me.

The caller knows about the investigation and Zalachenko.

If he calls again make sure Ekstrom says yes to a meeting.

But explain that we are taking over now.

Emphasize it's a matter of national security.

Choose an appropriate meeting place.

- Ekstrom. - I called before about Zalachenko.

Of course I will hear what you have to say over here.

- I'm busy now, but later in the evening? - When?

- Nine o'clock would suit me. - Nine o'clock's fine.

You must have understood that Gullberg shot Zalachenko, right?

- You read the newspapers? - Yeah.

- Why didn't you call the police? - I was waiting for them to call.

- It sounds a little convenient. - I knew nothing about his daughter.

What she was subjected to is terrible.

But the prime minister didn't know about it.

Me neither.

You must convince both me and Millennium readers about that.

I forbid you to use my name in this context.

I haven't had anything to do with it.

What I read here is news to me.

You have read some of the material we will publish. We have a lot more.

Everything can be proven.

I will not hang you out to dry, but you have a responsibility and a debt.

Tell me what you know, and you will be a confidential source. If not, I will expose you.

- I call that blackmail. - Call it what you want.

Tell me and I promise not to publish your name.

The Prime Minister informed me about that meeting in October 1976.

He thought it was very uncomfortable.

It was the largest military secret in Sweden I know of.

So he was under a lot of pressure.

How many times did they meet after the first meeting?

They did not meet. He did not want to do it.

He made sure I was intermediary between him and the person-

-Who was in charge of Zalachenko.

I had to promise never to discuss it with anybody and have never done it.

The prime minister was in contact with Evert Gullberg and Hans von Rottinger.

- Did you also meet with them? - Yes.

There was a man: Clinton. As the American president.

- Clinton? - Yes.

How often did you meet?

About a dozen times during my time as Secretary of State.

I did not know anything. Just that Zalachenko collaborated-

And that the information he gave was invaluable.

Where did you meet?

Various places. Often in apartments around town.

Who took over the connection after the change of government?

I don't know.

- You handed over to no one? - No.

You didn't report?

No, everything was of course top secret.

I had not even been allowed to take notes during meetings.

So no subsequent government had an idea-

-That there was a Soviet defector in Sweden?

It sounds strange, but it was so.

Hello, Mikael Blomkvist. Monica Figuerola, Constitutional protection.

- Yeah? - I would like to invite you to a chat.

It is a friendly invitation. You risk nothing.

- Can I get my mail? - Of course.

- And a pair of clean underpants? - Absolutely.

Torsten Edklinth, constitutional protection.

- Blomkvist. - Please sit down.

You will understand why we want to meet you.

So let's get right to it.

We have received confirmation of the existence of a conspiracy-

-Within an exceptionally sensitive area of state administration.

My meeting with the Prime Minister yesterday resulted in the launch of a full investigation.

Which means ...?

A full investigation.

The result is given to the Attorney-General who will decide whether prosecution should be instituted.

But we need time to identify who is involved.

I understand well. Where do I fit in?

We want to know when you intend to publish.

If it is done before the investigation is concluded, it could jeopardize the entire operation.

When can I publish the proceedings?

It is obviously not something we can determine.

It is totally up to you, but we ask you to cooperate.

What I can say is this ...

I am furious at the state, Government, SAPO-

-And all the other fucking assholes who put a 12-year-old girl in-

-a psychiatric ward without reason and legally incapacitated her.

I myself am very upset about what happened to Lisbeth Salander.

Those responsible will be punished.

But before that, we must identify who's involved.

I would also like that.

But I also want Lisbeth Salander to be acquitted and cleared to the authorities.

There we or the government cannot intervene, you understand.

If I can gain insight into the investigation-

-I will tell what I intend to publish, and when.

Information for information.

This can be solved fairly quickly.

We decide which employees we recruit for the investigation.

We can hire Blomkvist as an external consultant.

Evert Gullberg. Do you have any more names?

Hans von Rotssinger, Fred Clinton. One is dead, the other is retired.

- Both active in the group of '70-'80's. - Group?

Can we give it a working title? We can call it the Section.

Section? Sure.

How did you come up with that?

I have a good source.

- Can we keep hold of this place? - I will sort it out.

What the hell?!

Lisbeth tried several times to tell the authorities-

-of Zalachenkos' assault on her mother-

-But no one took the ten-year-old girl's allegations seriously.

Only when she tried to kill her father-

-To save her mother did society react.

But not by arresting and punishing Alexander Zalachenko.

Instead Lisbeth was punished.

At the age of twelve she was forcibly taken away and locked up-

-At St. Stephen's Psychiatric Hospital in Uppsala.

I tried to explain what happened to Peter Teleborian-

-But he would not listen and claimed that I fantasized.

I was strapped to the bed as a punishment.

During the two years I was locked up -

-I was strapped to my bed for 381 days.

Hello, Lisbeth.

How are you?

My assessment stands whatever the prosecutor decides.

We just do our job. Want to argue about it.

What should we discuss?

That door should stay closed!

What the hell?

I was admitted. You were not here when we arrived.

Get out of here.

The prosecutor had decided it.

Lisbeth?

Look at me. What did he do?

It went too far. That won't happen again. I promise you.

Right.

- Take care of his car. - No problem.

We waited for over an hour. Maybe he had misunderstood the place.

- But he never showed up. - Strange.

If he contacts you again, you must immediately notify me.

- Whose turn is it today? - It's Malin's luck, huh?

Hello. How's it going?

- Sushi, is that okay? - Not fish. Chicken teriyaki for me.

- Are you going to have lunch, Mike? - No, I don't have time.

You sleep with the light on at night. I see you. What am I?

All right. Erika, eight pieces?

May I change the battery with you? Mine's flat.

Micke ... Look.

It's anonymous. I think it's the same author as the last one.

- Have you had many? - I got one last week.

- Why haven't you said anything? - I didn't take it seriously.

Let's keep it between us, we'll talk about that later.

- May I take it there? - Take it.

- Will you have eight pieces? - I'm not so hungry today.

I'll skip it.

I was strapped to the bed. Peter Teleborian stood beside it.

He smelled of aftershave. I hated his smell.

He wanted to make me happy on my birthday.

I hated his voice. I hated his hands.

It was the night I was 13 years old.

- Teleborian's opinion? - A draft.

It needs to be processed, but it looks good.

We've had an unexpected problem.

- Wadensj�� disappeared. - disappeared?

Yes, his wife made a police report in Bromma yesterday.

Last time she saw him was on friday morning.

Is there a risk that he defected and tell everything?

- Would Bertil do it? - No, Bertil has always been loyal.

I think it feels damn uncomfortable.

- What is it? - We have a problem.

I checked Teleborian's hard disk and mailbox, found nothing.

- Nothing? - Nothing about you nor the trial.

The only thing that can mean anything are short emails from ...

... Jonas on Hotmail.

"PSO 1 clear next week." Dating from 20 September this year.

The second is equally brief: "PSO 2 clear tomorrow."

PSO? Psychiatric opinion? Or?

Yes, it could be.

- No files? - No.

He has not sent anything from his office computer.

He'll have a laptop with mobile broadband.

- Can be difficult to access. - But not impossible?

At the right time, everything is possible.

- I keep track of his mailbox. - Do it. But don't call anymore.

- SMS messages or email. - Okay, bye.

Damn!

The trial begins on the 13th. Then the magazine must be ready.

We need to go to press the week before.

- How will this be done? - We must help each other.

You and Malin write about Teleborian's background and a little about St. Stephens.

Around 30 pages. Is it okay?

- Yes, it'll be okay. - Good.

Yes ...

There's something else, of importance.

I received two anonymous threats by mail-

-Last Week. Thought you should know.

Threats?

Christ! Who the hell sent them?

- Have you notified the police? - I don't want the police here.

It's a serious threat to Erika.

We take it as seriously. I don't want to have the police at the office.

- So we'll just sit on it? - It is not what I said.

- Let me fix it my way. - How?

The police don't care about that sort of thing. They don't give a shit!

Please, stop! Oh my God!

May we skip it? No harm was done. Now we leave it.

30 pages?

- How about a cup of coffee? - Yeah.

I have to hurry.

It's me.

Teleborian meets with Jonas at four o'clock at the Center.

- What time is it? - Half past three.

Damn!

- Hello. I need to take some blood. - I must go to the toilet first.

- Yes, it's Christer. - I'm in the middle of the staircase.

Yes, I see you now. I'm just below.

Now I can see Teleborian. Christer, go ahead. I will stop here.

All right.

You should see him soon. Black jacket.

I see him now. He's standing there, waiting.

- Watch him, not too close. - No, I'm watching.

Someone is coming. Must be Jonas.

Gray jacket, middle-aged. I don't recognize him.

- Now they are leaving. Should I follow? - Yes, follow them!

- They are going out towards Vasagatan. - Follow them!

Mikael here. Teleborian has a meeting with an agent of the Section.

- Okay. Where? - At Vasagatan. Are you coming?

Okay. Yes, I'm on my way.

- Hi. - Hi.

They are there.

- Mikael. - They are leaving now.

Follow Teleborian. We'll follow the other guy.

Monica here. I need information on a car registration.

Teleborian has gone from the meeting with Jonas Sandberg from the Section-

-To a meeting at Police Headquarters?

- With whom? - Let 's see ...

Jonas Sandberg was recruited into counter intelligence in 1998.

In 2001 he was transferred to a secret location abroad.

He should be located at the Embassy in Madrid but they have never heard of him.

Same with G�ran M�rtensson. Officially moved to a place where he's not.

It can only go through Secretary Albert Schenke.

the Section dwells in that house here.

A six-story, 23 flats condominium.

I have checked all the tenants but there's nothing unusual.

Except the apartment at the very top. Eleven rooms and kitchen.

It's owned by the company Bellona. The owners live abroad.

- Can we get a camera in? - Do we have a warrant?

I'll get the warrant if you make some tea.

Never mind... I'll make it.

- Hi. - Hi.

- Am I disturbing you? - hmm.

- I'll come back. - I am almost done.

I just wanted to warn you that the police will come tomorrow.

All right.

I could perhaps postone the transfer a further couple of days, but...

- My colleagues would start to wonder. - Then you shouldn't.

- Are you sure? - Yes.

- You don't seem particularly worried. - No.

I have a gift for you.

Why?

You have been one of my most interesting patients in a long time.

If you're bored in jail, this is the latest in DNA research.

- Your mobile ...? - It's in the chocolate box.

Teleborian will write an expert opinion.

He will report that you need treatment at his psychiatric hospital.

The prosecutor requested this of him.

But we will hire our own expert who has his own opinion.

Lisbeth, this is for your own good.

I do not talk to any brain-bending doctors. I have already said it.

Hope they fit.

You need to sort your attitude, it could lose this case for us.

Lisbeth...

- Move! - Lisbeth Salander ...

Do you have any comment?

Murder Suspect Lisbeth Salander was transferred today by police escort-

-From Sahlgrenska in G�teborg to the Kronobergs' jail in Stockholm.

According to prosecutor Richard Ekstrom the trial is-

-Scheduled for November 6.

Lisbeth Salander is accused-

-Of the attempted murder of her father, Alexander Zalachenko-

-Who was later brutally murdered at Sahlgrenska Hospital.

There will be increased security during the trial-

-Since some threats occurred during police investigation.

Here we have Georg Nystr�m.

Inspector, has worked in Security Service since 1983.

Since 1996 he has been an independent investigator.

He makes internal controls on cases the Security Service completed.

Here is Jonas Sandberg again.

- Who is that? - A neighbor, Karl Birgersson.

- Him I recognize ... Hallberg. - Yes, Otto Hallberg.

Worked on anti-terrorism 15 years ago.

He resigned 9 years ago. Has his own firm now.

Guess who he had lunch with today.

Your looking at it.

Secretary Albert Schenke and Budget Director Atterbom.

That's how they get their money. Everything is falling into place.

- I want a tag on them around the clock. - So we need more people.

- What do you think about Jan Bublanski? - Absolutely reliable.

- Got his hands full with Niedermann? - No. He's probably left the country.

You need to come for questioning.

Yes, so we finally meet.

Ekstrom, prosecutor.

This initial meeting is more of a conversation rather than an interrogation.

So we can try to get a handle on this complicated story.

I assume that you don't have anything against this.

The charges against you are very serious.

But as the prosecutor I should take into account all mitigating circumstances.

It's important that you're aware of it, for your own sake.

This is a simple question. Answer yes or no.

When you went to Gosseberga to meet your father-

- Were you already planning to kill him?

I must ask the lawyer again to get Salander to respond.

So I must repeat again that my client will decide whether she will respond.

I ask the lawyer to have a serious talk with Miss Salander.

This is, as I say, for her own sake.

Yes ...

I was surprised that she was so small and slender as a girl.

- How did Lisbeth Salander do? - Well under the circumstances.

- What about the allegations? - No comments.

You are defending her and have to say something.

Here is Lisbeth's autobiography.

- When has she written it? - Does anybody care?

She is expected to participate in hearings.

- So, physically, she has recovered. - But not mentally?

It's known that Lisbeth Salander for several years has been treated in mental hospitals.

You mean Lisbeth Salander still is mentally ill?

I cannot make that diagnosis.

I have sought a psychiatric examination to get answers.

It's made by Dr Peter Teleborian at St. Stephen's Hospital in Uppsala.

Peter Teleborian ... What a surprise.

Is there a risk that the trial be postponed?

No, the police investigation progresses and conduct of proceedings.

ERIKA. IS IT YOUR STYLE, OR DID YOU BUY SOME- THING FOR GREGER? HE WILL BE HOME ON SATURDAY. AFRAID, ERIKA? YOU SHOULD BE.

Christer?

- Is it from the same sender? - Yes.

"It will get worse now. Everything's complete"

Is it us?

- Micke traced the sender? - He called somebody.

It has not helped. We may call and report it.

- We can't just wait until it happens - I want to talk to Mikael first.

- I'll call them. - No. I'm the publisher.

It is I who have received the email. I don't go behind Mikaels' back.

We must stick together. And agree. Especially now.

I'll call Mickael.

Hello, Lisbeth.

You should know that I am sorry that you have ended up in this situation.

I'll try to help you in all the possible ways I can

I hope that we can Work together, you and me.

I thought we got to know each other pretty well.

At the time.

You were stubborn-

And unusually difficult to treat at twelve years old.

You bit my finger once.

Do you remember that?

You never understood that contact can be a part of the treatment-

-That creates closeness and trust.

This applies especially to children.

Do you realize that I'm the person-

-With the greatest opportunity to help you?

Do you?

- Hello. Are you still here? - I called several times.

I was writing and had turned it off.

Same sender.

Chriser tried to call the police today. But I stopped him.

We must solve this now, Mickael.

You and I run the newspaper.

We have a responsibility to our employees. This is not just the two of us anymore.

I've had contact with one of Lisbeth's hacker friends, Plague.

So we don't need the police?

If anyone can find the sender it is him, but it takes some time.

It's faster than the police.

Are we talking days? Or weeks?

Honestly, I don't know.

Mrs. Giannini, I believe that your Client should avoid trial.

This so-called autobiography-

-Containing unsubstantiated and senseless accusations-

-against Peter Teleborian and solicitor Bjurman.

I know the contents.

But doesn'it prove that Lisbeth Salander is in need of care?

No.

- For there is an option. - What?

That what's written there is true and that the people choose to believe it.

If we assume that Millennium has something to publish-

-What can they have?

Worst case scenario: A copy of Bjork's investigation.

They may not know anything about us.

But he has great credibility. And so does the magazine.

We could reduce that credibility in some way?

Do what you want...

We have to put an end to this, once and for all.

She phoned at quarter past three in the night.

She had locked herself in a room upstairs.

- We were there 20 minutes later. - Do you have any leads?

The police should investigate. We are installing alarms in the house now.

Erika told me about the email threats.

There are probably linked with what happened last night.

My contact is trying to trace them. I don't want to involve the police.

It's time now. It's about direct physical threats against you and Erika.

- Against me? - Yes, against you as well.

Your silent alarm in the apartment went off last night.

He was in there 17 minutes. When we searched the apartment-

-We found 180 grams of cocaine hidden in one of your speakers-

-And 120,000 Kroner in cash in your closet.

- What the hell? - They are trying to discredit you-

As they can't discredit the magazine.

- Is it still there? - The money's still there.

The other has been removed.

- I'll have to call Erika. - I think she's asleep.

- Erika. - Hey. It's me.

I know what's happened.

- I want us to talk. Can I come over? - No, you shouldn't come here.

We'll talk it over later.

- I want to see you now. - I have to sleep a few hours.

Three o'clock?

Samirs Gryta?

- Will you or won't you come? - At three o'clock. I'll be there.

- Good. Bye. - Bye.

- Hi. Do you know where Erika is? - No.

She doesn't answer when I call. Today's the deadline for the printer.

- I'm going to get hold of her. - Good. You have a visitor up there.

Do you understand what I'm saying?

Teleborian has written an opinion to which I'm unable to respond.

The court will believe that. If you read it, you'll realize I'm right.

He has fabricated it together with the Section.

- If we can prove it ... - How could that be?

No. I must postpone the trial and convince Lisbeth to undergo another evaluation

But she won't help.

No.

I am seriously considering giving up.

Samirs Gryta. You know it?

At three in the afternoon.

So I send these pages to the printer.

Haven't you heard from Erika?

I talked to her. She was feeling bad last night and wanted to sleep today.

- How is she now? - Better. Damn, I gotta go.

Has she gotten more threatening emails?

We really have done excellent work with this issue together.

- Shall we all have a beer later? - No, I have a meeting at Samir.

There is an uncertainty about how many people-

-Are linked to the Section's activities.

In addition, there may be several more people we do not yet know.

The key people we have already identified and they'll be arrested in a major joint action.

I'll give more information about this later.

It is ten minutes to three. We'll pause, and gather here again in an hour.

- Has there been any developments today? - Clinton has been receiving dialysis.

The others have come and gone.

Jonas Sandberg is probably the only one being social.

10:30, he met with two people at a pizzeria in Bred�ng.

- Who did he meet? - That's new faces to me.

- They look Eastern European... - The Nikolic brothers

Tomi and Miro Nikolic. From Serbia, but they have lived in Huddinge.

Very unpleasant types. Sharpshooters in the Civil War.

Miro is wanted for aggravated assault but they live mostly in Serbia, so...

Mikael. Wait.

Hey, Samir.

Sorry I'm late.

- How are you? - How do you think?

- Why didn't you call me last night? - What could you've done?

I called Milton Security because I needed help.

We have to look after our people, Micke.

Samir Gryta on S�der. Connect me quickly, please.

I stopped the magazine. I called the printer.

This also applies to Malin and Christer. Their safety.

- Did you call the print shop? - I will not take responsibility for this.

- It's too dangerous. - Shit...

- Micke, telephone for you. - No, not now.

It's very important.

Sorry.

- They're shooting! - We'll take a shortcut.

Down!

Police! Police! Show your hands!

Police! Show your hands!

How is it?

Are you okay?

- Here, something to wipe your head. - How are you?

Get out with Blomkvist and Berger as fast as hell.

We'll go out through the kitchen. The kitchen!

Two police officers were eating at the restaurant-

-And recognized the two brothers. One was wanted for aggravated assault.

An exchange of fire broke out as they were arrested, but no one was hurt.

The two brothers are now charged with attempted murder.

That went well.

Shit! Bad idea from the beginning.

No, but I didn't know that one of them was wanted.

It's my fault.

- What will the Nikolic brothers tell? - Not that they had a contract for the killing.

They're not that fucking stupid.

I talked to Christer and Malin.

- They cannot stay at the office now. - No ...

I think about Dag and Mia.

We could have also died today.

Both of us.

There is no job that is worth dying for.

No ...

We don't know if they just thought of killing you, Mikael, or Erika as well.

But the idea was that the police would find the drugs and money-

And link it with a Yugoslavian drug deal.

- What of the other staff editors? - We will close for a couple of days.

We'll postpone the release of the magazine also.

I suggest that you and Erika have bodyguards.

No, I don't want somebody following me.

- Now we'll see how it goes. - Have you had contact with her?

What happened?

I will push for Lisbeth Salander to be committed to the mental hospital-

-Failing that, a long prison sentence.

Usually that tends to be reversed.

Yes, but in this case-

-The psychiatric opinion is so unequivocal-

-I don't have any alternative.

Thank you very much.

The trial of Lisbeth Salander begins here in Stockholms' District Court-

-Today at 13, in about an hour.

It's expected to last three days and has aroused great public interest.

Both the police and the prosecutor have prepared their case-

-and given information to the media while the defence has denied...

Holy shit. Is it time?

- I did not sleep one hour last night. - It'll go well.

Yeah ...!

It will go well.

-So. -Thanks. See you later. Bye.

Back, back!

I can only regret-

-That Lisbeth Salander did not say a single word during seven hearings.

But the fact doesn't weaken any of the charges against her.

Thanks.

So I leave the floor to the lawyer.

Thanks.

From the defence side, we reject all counts.

We will prove that the prosecutor's allegations are false-

- And that my client has been exposed to serious gross legal violations.

I will ask that my client be declared innocent-

-That her guardianship be repealed and that she be released immediately.

Thanks.

Has the prosecutor anything to add?

I would like to request that negotiations be conducted behind closed doors.

It's about a vulnerable person, her psychological health and wellbeing-

-As well as about material which is marked confidential-

-And in some parts may pertain to national security.

See you tonight.

Great.

So we shall begin by trying to get some clarity in-

-Why you went to Gosseberga-

-To try to kill your father Alexander Zalachenko-

-Also known as Karl Axel Bodin.

Should we understand from your silence that you do not want to answer questions?

I will gladly answer questions.

Then maybe you can answer the question.

I have not yet heard any questions.

I asked if you went to Gosseberga with the intention to kill your father.

No, you said you wanted to try to clarify-

-why I drove to Gosseberga to try to kill my father, Alexander Zalachenko.

It was an allegation where you anticipated a response, an unverified assertion.

- Answer the question. - No.

- No, what? - Is my answer to the question.

Did you bury a axe in the head of your father?

Yes.

He was seriously wounded, and I argue that it is attempted murder.

What is your opinion?

That was two assertions. Which should I state my opinion on?

If the axe blow to the head of your father was attempted murder?

There was no attempted murder. It was self-defense.

Thanks.

Let me know if you need anything.

- Can you get cigarettes? - Forget it.

Thanks.

- Hi. - Hi.

- How does it feel to have bodyguards? - It's okay...

As long as they stay outside.

Erika ...

I couldn't do it.

You are egoist.

And stupid.

I'm staying home this week. Next week also.

I must be sure that I take the right decision.

Yes.

Is it about us or Millennium?

Both.

... I think.

I'll be in touch.

Take care.

Damn.

Salander, it's time.

Lisbeth Salander's so-called autobiography,

-Lacks any credibility.

It's a series of allegations about various individuals-

-Each one more absurd than the other.

Overall, it's an expression of-

-The paranoid-schizophrenia Lisbeth Salander is suffering from.

Can you give an example?

The most obvious, the depiction of the rape-

-She claims-

-Her guardian, lawyer Bjurman is guilty of.

The entire narrative with all its details-

-Is a classic example on the kind of grotesque fantasy-

-That children tend to exhibit.

Now Lisbeth Salander is no child, she's a grown woman.

That is correct. Although it remains to be seen-

-exactly what her mental level may be.

In principle you're right. But she, like a child,-

-is unable to distinguish fantasy from reality.

I understand.

In 1993, Lisbeth Salander was forcibly hospitalized at St. Stephen's.

Over the years she lived there, you had responsibility for her.

Is that correct? -Yes.

How many days was she kept in restraints there?

I mean fastened in bed with straps.

That I cannot possibly remember. But not many.

Approximately?

Possibly ... thirty. But I fail to understand what relevance this has.

Lisbeth Salander herself, claims it was 381 days in total.

That's pure fantasy. Absurd.

She was not strapped down with belts for more than a year...

-... Of the two she lived there? - Of course not.

The defense repeatedly tried to get Lisbeth Salander's medical records-

- From the years she was hospitalized at St. Stephen's, but without success.

- Can you explain why? - Yes, it is confidential.

- It always is in such investigations as a rule.

The lawyer should know.

Here I have a copy of Lisbeth Salander's records from the two years-

-1993 and 1994.

Here it is clear that Lisbeth Salander was restrained by straps for 381 days.

Attorney Giannini, how is this revelant to the trial?

I want to demonstrate that Peter Teleborian is not telling the truth in this situation.

Attorney Giannini, the records of '93 and '94 cannot be used today-

-To question Peter Teleborian's credibility.

I felt like an idiot.

It was not wrong; for Teleborian is a fucking liar.

This is proven in Bjork's investigation.

It proves what he did then, not what he does now.

When the prosecutor submited Teleborian's new opinion I did nothing.

She'll land in the madhouse again and I can't do anything about it.

Who are you?!

Plague.

What is this?

Peter Teleborian's private computer. Copied on a USB key.

Sorry. Come in.

What does it contain?

Everything you need.

Plus some nasty shit.

Annika, I have everything you need here. Cooperation with the Section.

Several versions of the psychiatric report, falsified dates-

-eMail correspondence, everything.

- There you are. Yes, it was good.

- Here. - The reports I never saw.

Read it over lunch. The dates are important.

Great, great. See you later. Bye Bye.

You ended up at St. Stephen's

-After having poured petrol over your dad and lit the fire.

- Yes. - Why did you do it?

Because he beat up my mother for several years.

on the 12th of june 1993 he assaulted her so brutally that she was handicapped.

- She got permanent brain damage. - Did you tell that to anyone?

- Yes, the police officers who interrogated me-

- To the social worker, different doctors, a priest and that pig.

Why do you call Peter Teleborian a pig?

When I came to St. Stephen's I tried to explain what had happened.-

-But he claimed that I fantasized. As punishment, I was put in straps.

That's pure nonsense. Again an exemple-

-That your client has no ability to differentiate fantasy from reality.

- You lie, you fucking pig. - Here we speak appropriately in the court.

Now I would like to move on with the sexual abuse-

-As a lawyer Nils Bjurman exploited my client.

That is not the case.

These are absurd allegations, without a shred of evidence.

It's an example of the legal abuse Lisbeth suffered.

When it comes to Frederick Clinton he may be on dialysis.-

-In the care of Karolinska Hospital.

Everyone here wilI get all the files with all the necessary information.

I repeat. Group 1: Bublanski.

Group 2: Svensson.

Group 3: Modig.

Group 4: Figuerola.

Group 5: Holmberg.

For questions or queries speak to your respective chief operating officer.

Good luck.

We're here at the ongoing trial of Lisbeth Salander-

-Who, according to Millennium was subjected to a series of legal assaults-

-Orchestrated by a secret organization known as The Section.

This is the third day of trial.

- You maintain that Bjurman raped you? - Yes.

- When, in that case, would it have happened? - Not "in this case"

It was Tuesday the 18th of February 2008 -

And Friday the 7th of March, same year. It's clear in my biography.

- Did you notify the police? - No.

- Why not? - The police have never listened to me.

- Did you seek medical attention for your injuries?

No.

- Did you talk to somebody about it? - No.

The late lawyer Nils Bjurman has never been convicted of any criminal offense.

He has never been reported or been under investigation for anything.

However, it is my duty to point out that Lisbeth Salander-

-Is diagnosed as paranoid schizophrenic.

She has spent several years at a child psychiatric clinic-

-And has been under guardianship since she was eighteen years old.

How regrettable it is, that-

-Lisbeth Salander has a totally confused view of the world.

It appears with abundant clarity in this "autobiography".

Nowhere else does the rupture of her sense of realism appear so clearly.

In light of the lack of evidence-

-We will try to evaluate the credibility of her claims in her words and statements.

- Is the prosecutor finished? - Yes.

- Then the lawyer can present evidence.

Peter Teleborian claims that Lisbeth Salander is lying-

-On the allegations that she was sexually exploited by lawyer Bjurman.

The prosecutor is of the same opinion.

- I shall now demonstrate that what Lisbeth claims is completely true.

- When was this filmed, Lisbeth?

On 7 March 2008. I used a hidden camera.

If you are good...

If you ...

If you are good...

... I'll be good to you.

Are you good?

Are you good? Are you good?

It's too late.

Stop the film!

Enough!

- Why did you record it? - Bjurman had raped me before.

- He had forced me to perform oral sex.

He demanded more if I wanted to get access to my money.

It was the only way to obtain evidence against him.

The only way to get him to stop.

We take a break. We need 20 minutes.

Can we take an hour? We need to collect ourselves after this.

Then it'll be a one hour break.

- Sorry I'm late - It's okay. Thank you.

You are submitting new material?

It is the same the Court has already, but with small, crucial differences.

I will come to it.

- Then I give the floor to the lawyer. - Thank you.

Yes ...

No one can deny that Lisbeth was subjected to-

-serious sexual abuse by her guardian lawyer Nils Bjurman.

A person she thought that she could trust.

As I have said, this illustrates the type of prolonged assaults against Lisbeth.

The attacks have both been psychological and legal.

The person who has a major responsibility for this is Dr. Peter Teleborian.

He was, in 1993, together with Gunnar Bjork-

-a member of an illegal group within the Security Police-

-And wrote a forensic psychiatric report-

-With intent to imprison a dangerous witness-

-Thus, Lisbeth Salander, was transferred to a secure psychiatric clinic.

There must be some moderation on these accusations ...

Excuse me, but I was speaking.

This occurred after Lisbeth had poured gasoline on her father-

-Alexander Zalachenko, in a desperate attempt to save the mother.

But those who protected Zalachenko-

-Made sure to put a lid on it and classified the matter.

-Instead, with Peter Teleborian's help-

- Lisbeth was locked away at St Stephen's in Uppsala.

It's a crazy accusation!

- I have tried to help Lisbeth Salander in the best way. She tried...

-Yesterday, Peter Teleborian presented his new legal psychiatric opinion here.

Once again, it proposes-

-The compulsory detention of Lisbeth Salander and locking her up.

But just like in 1993 it is under false pretenses.

That is quite...

I must ask you to allow the lawyer to finish speaking. Thank you.

Thanks.

The statement is based on "observations" of my client.

These must have been from the time She was moved to Kronoberg-

-on October 6, and must have been completed by November 5.

Is that correct, Peter Teleborian?

Yes. I ask the court to remember these dates.

You asked for permission to visit my client in the hospital, but it was denied.

Is it true?

I wish to call two witnesses.

No!

Police, drop the gun!

Lie still!

Yes ... Do you recognize this document?

Yes.

It is the psychiatric report on Lisbeth Salander by Peter Teleborian.

There are currently three versions.

The first, dated September 20th; the second on October first

And this is the third, which is dated October 6th.

You gave me the documents.

And I have noticed that the first statement from October

-Is identical to the statement Peter TeIeborian preferred yesterday.

Dated November 5th.

That is, to say the least, remarkable.

My conclusion is that Peter Teleborian wrote his report and diagnosis-

-Before he met with Lisbeth Salander.

Thus, it lacks all credibility.

Inspector Edklinth, is it correct-

-That you had these statements about Salander given to you by Mikael Blomkvist?

Yes.

- What is your conclusion? - That they are false.

They were written long before-

-Peter Teleborian had the opportunity to meet Lisbeth Salander in custody.

They where forged in collaboration with a certain Jonas Sandberg.

That's a lie.

- Is it a lie? - No, not at all.

The documents are dated and there's email correspondence-

-Between Peter Teleborian and Jonas Sandberg proving this.

He is part of an illegal group within Security Police since the 1970s-

-Which protected Alexander Zalachenko.

The group was behind the decision-

-To incarcerate Lisbeth Salander at St. Stephen's Hospital in 1993

Jonas Sandberg is one of a dozen or so-

-Who where arrested today.

He is suspected of involvement in the murder of Gunnar Bjork.

Possibly another murder. We have evidence and multiple confessions.

Would Peter Teleborian care to comment on this?

Two police officers are waiting outside the courtroom.

They are to take Peter Teleborian with them for questioning.

Why?

He is under arrest on suspicion of violating the law on serious child pornography charges.

Specifically, for the possession of 8000 child pornography images and movies-

-Found on his computer.

This has been seized.

Please come with me?

Please be seated.

The court was unable to assess all the new information from the last hour-

-But finds no reason to keep Lisbeth Salander in custody.

So you are free pending the court's verdic.

Yes ...

That's right, I have keys from Micke to give to you.

Are you sure you don't want to join Millennium?

You can drop me off at Folkungatan

You know that this is all thanks to Micke, right?

Yes. But ...

Yes.

I don't know where you live?

No, not now. Maybe later.

What will you do now?

- I must be able to reach you. - You can contact me by email.

Good.

Bye.

- Why did it finish like this? - Justice prevailed.

- So now there is a party? - Now there is a party.

- What's going to happen now? - Now it begins!

... suspected of murder, among other things.

The organization operated from this building in Stockholm-

-and is responsible for serious gross abuses against Lisbeth Salander.

But the story begins in the 60s.

When the 'Section' was created to guard and monitor the nation's interests.

Officially, they never existed.

Evidence suggests that not even the State Police knew about the group.

In the mid-70s 'The Section' recruited a top Soviet spy ...

Lisbeth is released pending the verdict.

Then she will either be acquitted or on probation.

- Here. - What's this?

It's the legacy of Zalachenko.

I do not want anything from that pig.

No, but you are of legal age now.

So I need your signature that you have received this.

There are securities totalling 300'000 -

Plus a property in Gosseberga, valued at 1.5 million.

I do not want anything to do with it.

Then there is this ...

A derelict brickworks at a place outside Norrt�lje.

Just the plot is valued at 150'000.

All right.

Sell the dump and give the money to charity.

I think you need to read it through.

Then I can sell it for you.

Micke says hello.

- Pizza Bussola? There you go. - Thanks. Bye.

Damn!

You deserve to die, you fucking freak.

- 118118 - Yes, hello.

Give me the number for the motorcycle club in Svavelsj?

- Who is this? - Are you interested in Niedermann?

I'm listening.

SOS Alarm.

Police killer Ronald Niedermann is at Skederyds brickyard at Norrt�lje.

A biker gang went to kill him. They are heavily armed.

- Am I disturbing you?

- I was in the bath. - Yes, I see...

- Have you seen the news? - No.

Ronald Niedermann is dead. A gang from Svavelsj? killed him.

Your old friend was shot by Sonny. Now the police got him.

Thank you for everything.

Thanks.

Thank you.

See ya.

- We'll talk. - Absolutely.
