Time for your interview.
So, we finally meet.
Ekström, prosecutor.
We should consider this initial meeting more as a conversation
rather than an interrogation.
We can get a better understanding of this complicated story.
I assume you don't have any objections.
The charges against you are very serious.
As Prosecutor, I must take into account all mitigating circumstances.
It is important that you are aware of this, for your own sake.
This is a simple question. Answer yes or no.
When you went to Gosseberga to meet your father -
- did you already have plans to kill him?
I must ask the Lawyer again to try getting Salander to respond.
And, I must repeat that my client will decide if she will respond.
I am asking the lawyer to have a serious talk with Miss Salander.
I say this for her sake.
oh...
I am surprised that she is such a small and slender girl.
The trial starts on 13th. When should the newspaper be ready?
We must go to press the week before.
- How are we going to do it? - We must help each other.
You and Malin write about Teleborian's background and a little about St. Stephen's.
Approximately 30 pages. Okay?
- Yes, I suppose it's okay. - Good.
Oh...
There was something else.
I have received two anonymous threatening emails -
- They arrived during the week.
Threatening email?
Fuck! Who the hell sent this?
- Have you reported it? No. No, No, I don't want the police here.
This is a serious threat to Erika.
We are taking it seriously. I don't want the police involved.
- So we just sit on it? - That's not what I'm saying.
- I'll do it in my own way. - How?
The police will just sit on it. They don't do a damn thing!
Stop! Everyone! Calm down...
Nothing more has happened. Let it go.
- Next item. - 30 pages?
Giannini, how's Lisbeth Salander? - Well, under the circumstances.
- What do you have to say about the accusations? - No comment.
You're going to defend her, you must have something to say.
Hello. Sitting in here? Sorry to be late.
Good, you have eaten.
Here is Lisbeth's autobiography.
What? When did she write it?
It does not matter.
"Bjurman"? Lisbeth's guardian?
- What is this? - It's a movie.
You should watch it.
Lisbeth has given approval for you to use it in court if you need it.
Want some?
- Is Lisbeth Salander ready now? - The hearing will be soon.
- So she is physically well. - But not mentally?
It is known that L Salander was being treated in a mental hospital for several years.
Do you think that Lisbeth Salander is still mentally ill?
I am not qualified to give a diagnosis -
- I have asked for a psychiatric report.
- Who is the doctor? - Dr. Peter Teleborian.
He is the chief psychiatrist at St. Stephen's.
Peter Teleborian,... what a surprise.
Christer..
- Is it the same sender? - Yes.
"It gets worse now. For all of you. "
All of us?
- How is Micke trying to trace the sender? - He called someone.
Well it didn't help. We must report it.
- We cannot wait to be shot. - I will talk to Mikael first.
- So call me. No. I am a responsible publisher.
And I've got mail. I am not going behind Mikael's back.
We must stick together. Agreed?. Especially now.
I'll call Mikael.
Mikael Blomkvist. I can't take your call, leave a message.
Micke, where the hell are you? I've got another email -
- Now it's not just about me. It feels fucking uncomfortable.
Call back!
Hello, Lisbeth.
I want you to know that I am sorry to find you in this situation.
I'll try to help you in any way possible.
I hope that we can... co-operate,... you and me.
I think we got to know each other pretty well.
On that time...
You were so stubborn...
and you had an unusually severe treatment for twelve years...
You bit my finger again and again.
Do you remember?
You could never understand that physical contact could be a part of the treatment,
- contact that creates closeness and confidence.
This applies especially to children.
You do realise that I am the person who is in -
the best position to help you?
Don't you?
- Hello. Are you still here? - I called several times.
I got your message, and deleted it.
It is the same sender.
Christer tried to report it. But I stopped him.
We need it resolved now, Mikael
You and I are running the newspaper.
We have a responsibility towards its employees.
This is not just about the two of us anymore.
I've been in touch with Plague, a hacker and Lisbeth's friend.
So, why won't he call the police?
If anyone can find the sender it is him, but it takes time.
It's quicker than going to the police.
Are we talking days? Or weeks?
Frankly, I don't know.
If we assume Millennium has something to publish -
What can they have?
The worst is probably that they have a copy of the Björck Report.
But they may not know anything about our group.
But he is well respected, and then.. there is the newspaper.
Perhaps we can tarnish that reputation?
Whatever...
We have to put an end to this, once and for all.
She phoned at a quarter past three this morning.
Then she locked herself in a room upstairs.
We arrived 20 minutes later. - Are there any clues?
The police are checking. We have now installed alarms in the house.
Erika told me about the threatening emails.
That is enough with what happened last night.
My contact is trying to track the emails. I don't want to involve the police.
It's time to do that now. It's about physical threats against you and Erika.
- Towards me? - Yes, even against you.
Your silent alarm in the apartment went off last night.
He was in there for 17 minutes. When we searched the apartment -
- We found 180 grams of cocaine stored in one of your speakers -
- And $120,000 in cash in the wardrobe.
- What the hell? - They tried to frame you, Mikael -
they cannot frame the newspaper.
- Is it still there? - The money is.
The drugs have been removed.
- I'll have to call Erika. - I think she will be asleep.
- Erika. - It's me.
I know what happened.
I want to see you. Can I come over? No, don't come here.
We will talk about it later.
- I want to see you now. - I want to sleep a few hours.
How about three o'clock?.
At the Restaurant Samirs Gryta?
- Will you come or not? - I'll come at three o'clock.
- Good. Bye. - Bye.
I'll print these three pages.
Have we heard from Erika?
I've spoken to her. She had a bad night and wants to sleep in today.
How is she now? Better. Bloody hell, I have to go!
Has she had any more threatening emails?
We have really done a really good job on this one, everyone.
Shall we have a drink later? Er.. No, I have a meeting at the Restaurant Samirs.
There is uncertainty as to how these individuals -
- may be linked to the Section's activities.
There may be more, we don't know yet.
We have identified the key persons, they will be arrested in a major operation.
More information about this later.
It is ten minutes to three. We will take a break and meet here again in an hour.
Has there been anything today? Clinton has been receiving dialysis.
The other one has been and gone.
Jonas Sandberg is probably the only one there being sociable.
At 10:30, he met with two people at a pizzeria in Bredäng.
Who did he meet? They are unknown to me.
Just like the Balkans. The brothers Nikolic.
Tomi and Miro Nikolic. Serbian, they used to live in Huddinge.
Very unpleasant types. Sharpshooters in the Civil War.
Miro is wanted for aggravated assault, but they live mostly in Serbia, so...
Mikael...
Hello, Samirs Gryta.
Sorry to be late.
- How are you? - How do you think?
- Why didn't you call? - What could you have done?
I called Milton Security because I needed help.
We're back now, Micke.
Samirs Gryta on Söder. Connect me urgently, please.
I stopped the newspaper. I called the printer. You called the printer?
This also applies to Malin and Christer. Their safety.
- You called the printer! I won't take the responsibility.
- It's too dangerous. - Hell...
- Micke, you have a phone call. - No, not now.
It is important.
Sorry.
Down!
- They're shooting! - Take a shortcut... - Take a shortcut!
What the hell!
Down!
Police! Police! Show your hands!
Now!
Police! Show your hands!
Are you alright?
Are you okay?
- Here, use this to clean up. - Are you alright?
Get Blomkvist and Berger out of here. Quickly!
We will go out through the kitchen. The kitchen!
Both officers were eating at the restaurant -
and recognized the brothers, when one was called to the phone.
Exchange of fire broke out as they were arrested, but no one was hurt.
The two brothers are now charged with attempted murder and assault.
This is damn shit.
Damn shit!
I spoke with Christer and Malin.
- They cannot be on the - editorial board now. - No...
We could have been killed today Micke.
Both of us.
No job is worth dying for.
No.
We do not know if they wanted to kill you Mikael, or Erika.
But the idea was that the police would find drugs and money -
- And associate it with a Yugoslavian drug showdown.
The other editors? We're closing for a couple of days.
We have postponed the newspaper.
So, I suggest protection for you and Erika.
No, I do not want protection.
- We must see how it goes. Have you had any contact with her?
What's happening?
I will push for Lisbeth Salander to be institutionalised -
The second option is a long prison sentence.
A sentence that can't be reversed?
Yes, but in this case
the psychiatric report is unequivocal.
I have no alternative.
Thank you very much.
The trial of Lisbeth Salander starts here in Stockholm City Court.
At noon today.
It is expected to run for three days, and interest is high.
Investigations have been carried out by the police and the prosecutor -
Information has been given to the media while the defence has denied...
Holy shit. Is it time?
I did not sleep at all last night. It'll go well.
Of course...!
It seems to be going well.
- So. - Thank you. See you later.
Move back, move back.
I can only regret -
that Lisbeth Salander did not say a single word during interrogations.
That fact does not lessen the charges.
Thank you.
I will now hand the floor over to the Defence.
Thank you.
From the defence side, we reject all counts.
We will prove that the Prosecutor's allegations are wrong -
And that my client has been exposed to serious legal violations.
I will ask that my client be found innocent -
- her guardianship repealed and that she be released immediately.
Thank you.
Does the Prosecutor have anything to add?
I would ask that the trial be continued behind closed doors.
It's about a man's identity, psychological health and well-being.
The material is confidential,
and in some parts may come to affect national security.
See you tonight.
Well...
So we must begin by trying to get some clarity.
Why have you drove to Gosseberga,
intending to assassinate your father, Alexander Zalachenko.
Should we understand your silence to mean you will not answer questions?
I do answer questions.
Maybe you can answer these questions.
I have not heard anything like a question.
I asked if you drove to Gosseberga planning to kill your father.
No, you said you would try to get some clarity,
that I drove to Gosseberga planning to assassinate my father, A. Zalachenko.
It was an allegation.
- So, answer the question. - No.
- No, what? - It's the answer to the question.
You struck your father in the head with an axe?
Yes.
He was seriously hurt, and I argue that it is attempted murder.
How do you feel about that?
That was two allegations. Which one should I have an opinion on?
That the axe blow to your father's head was attempted murder.
It was not attempted murder. It was self defence.
Thank you.
Tell me if you need anything.
- Can you get cigarettes? - Forget it.
Thank you.
Hello. Hello.
How does it feel to be under police protection? Okay I suppose.
As long as they stay outside.
Erika...
I could not do it.
You are an egoist.
And an idiot.
I will be home this week. And next week.
I must be sure it is the right decision.
Yes...
Is it about us or Millennium?
Both and...
...I think...
...You'll hear from me.
Take care of yourself.
Fuck!
Salander, it's time.
Lisbeth Salander's so-called autobiography...
...lacks any credibility...
and is a series of allegations directed against different people.
One more absurd than the other.
Everything is an expression of -
- the paranoid schizophrenia Lisbeth Salander suffers from.
Can you give an example?
The most obvious is the portrayal of rape,
as she claims,
that her Guardian, Lawyer Bjurman, is guilty of.
The full story with all its details -
- Is a classic example of the kind of grotesque fantasies
that children make up.
Lisbeth Salander is no longer a child she is a woman.
We're not exactly responsible
for her mental state.
But in principle you're right.
I understand.
In 1993, Lisbeth Salander was forcibly hospitalized at St. Stephen's in Uppsala.
She was your responsibility for the time she was there.
- Is that correct? - Yes.
How many days was she kept restrained?
That is tied to the bed.
It is impossible to remember. Not very many.
Approximately?
Possibly thirty one days. I do not understand what that has to do with it.
Lisbeth Salander herself, is claiming it was 381 days.
That is pure fantasy. Quite unreasonable.
Therefore she was not restrained for more than one year...
of the two years she was there? - Of course not.
The defence has repeatedly tried to get Lisbeth Salander's File of the years
she was hospitalized at St. Stephen's, but without success.
- Can you explain why? - Yes, it is confidential.
These are general studies.
The lawyer should know that.
I have here a copy of Lisbeth Salander's File for the years...
1993 and 1994.
It clearly shows that Lisbeth Salander was restrained for 381 days.
Lawyer Giannini, How is this relevant?
I seek to prove that Peter Teleborian is not telling the truth in this case.
Lawyer Giannini, records from 1993 and 1994 cannot be used -
- To question the credibility of Peter Teleborian.
I understand.
I felt like an idiot.
When the Prosecutor presents Teleborian's new report, I will have nothing.
She ends up in an institution again and I cannot do a damn thing.
Welcome to your private young girls.
Who are you?
Plague.
What is this?
A copy of Peter Teleborian's laptop Hard Drive. A USB copy.
Sorry. Come in.
What's on it?
Everything you need.
Plus some nasty shit.
Annika, I have it all here. In collaboration with the Section.
The psychiatric report, in several versions, false dates -
and Email correspondence too.
- Annika - Oh, there you are. That's good.
Here. When will I get time to read all this?
Read it over lunch. The dates are important.
Well, damn good. See you later. Bye bye.
You ended up at St. Stephen's -
after having poured petrol over your father and igniting it.
- Yes. - Why did you do that?
Because he had abused my mother for several years.
On June 121993, he abused her so badly that she was disabled.
She sustained permanent brain damage. Did you tell anyone?
Yes, the police who interrogated me -
- the social worker, different doctors, a priest and that pig.
When I first arrived at St. Stephen's, I tried to explain what had happened.
But he claimed that I fantasized. As punishment, I was restrained.
This is nonsense. Another example that -
your client lacks the ability to separate fantasy from reality.
- You're lying, you fucking pig. Lisbeth Salander, here we speak politely!
Now I will go ahead with the sexual assault -
- As a lawyer Bjurman exploited my client.
That is not the case.
These are absurd allegations without any hint of proof.
It is an example of the judicial assault to which Lisbeth has been exposed.
When you go to Frederick Clinton he may be on dialysis -
at the Karolinska Hospital,
I want all the files, we need all of the information.
I repeat. Group 1: Bublanski.
Group 2: Svensson.
Group 3: Moodig.
Group 4: Figuerola.
Group 5: Holmberg.
Any questions or ambiguities then contact your respective leader.
Good luck.
So you claim that the lawyer Nils Bjurman raped you?
- When was this supposed to have happened? - Not "supposed".
It happened Tuesday 18 February 2008-
- And Friday the 7th March of that year. It is clearly stated in my biography.
- Did you report the rapes? - No.
- Why not? The Police have never listened.
Did you see a doctor about your injuries?
No.
Did you talk to anyone about it? - No
The Late lawyer Nils Bjurman has never been convicted.
He has never been summonsed or been under investigation.
However, it is my job to remind you that Lisbeth Salander
- has been diagnosed as a paranoid schizophrenic.
She has spent several years in a children's psychiatric clinic
and has had a legal guardian since her eighteenth year.
It is regrettable that her story is so shocking.
Lisbeth Salander has her very own view of the world.
It appears very clearly in her autobiography...
that her sense of realism has been destroyed.
In light of that, we must try...
to assess the credibility of her words and statements.
Is the Prosecutor finished? - Yes. - Thank you
The Defence will now present their evidence - Thank you.
Peter Teleborian claims that Lisbeth Salander lied about -
the allegations stating she had been sexually exploited by Lawyer Bjurman.
The Prosecutor takes the same view.
I will now demonstrate that what Lisbeth said is completely true.
When was this filmed, Lisbeth?
On 7 March 2008. I used a hidden camera.
If you are nice...
If you...
If you are nice...
...I'll also be nice.
Are you nice?
Are you nice? Are you nice?
It is too late.
Stop the film!
That's enough!
- Why did you film it? - Nils Bjurman had raped me before.
He had forced me to perform oral sex.
He demanded more, otherwise I would not get my money.
It was the only way to obtain evidence against him.
The only way to stop him.
We will take a break. An hour's break.
- Sorry I am so late. - It's okay. Thank you.
Are you presenting new evidence?
It is the same as the existing evidence, but with some small crucial differences.
I will come to that.
Then I hand the floor over to the Defence. - Thank you.
Yes...
Nobody can deny that Lisbeth was traumatised -
by the serious sexual assault by her guardian, Nils Bjurman.
A person she thought she could trust.
As I have said, this illustrates the type of assault against Lisbeth.
The attacks have been both psychological and illegal.
The person who bears a major responsibility for this is Dr. Peter Teleborian.
He, in 1993, together with Gunnar Björck -
- Who are part of an illegal group inside SÄPO -
wrote a legal psychiatric report
which ensures that any dangerous witness may be confined -
So Lisbeth Salander, was confined to a psychiatric clinic.
There must be some way that these accusations...
Excuse me, but I am speaking now.
This occurred after Lisbeth had poured gasoline on her father -
- Alexander Zalachenko, in a desperate attempt to save her mother.
But they protected Zalachenko -
made sure they put a lid on it and kept the investigations confidential.
And with the help of Peter Teleborian -
confined Lisbeth at St. Stephen's in Uppsala.
It's a crazy accusation!
I have tried to help Lisbeth Salander in all ways. She tried...
Yesterday Peter Teleborian presented his new legal psychiatric report.
Once again, it proposes -
- The compulsory detention of Lisbeth Salander and locking her up.
But, as in 1993, it is under false pretenses.
That is quite...
I must ask you to allow the Defence to finish their speech. Thank you!
Thank you.
This report is based on observations of my client,
and should have occured from the time she was moved to Kronobergsarresten -
on 6th October and completed on 5th November.
Is that correct, Peter Teleborian?
I will call two witnesses.
No!
Police, drop your weapon!
Yes... Do you recognise this document?
Yes.
It is the psychiatric report on Lisbeth Salander by Peter Teleborian.
It comes in three versions.
The first, dated 20th September, the second dated 1st October -
- And this is the third, which is dated 6th October.
You gave me the documents.
And I have noted that the report dated 1st October,
is identical to the report Peter Teleborian presented yesterday.
Dated 5th November.
Very odd.
Peter Teleborian had written reports -
before he had interviewed Lisbeth Salander.
Thus it lacks credibility.
Commissioner Edklinth, is it true that you -
- were given these reports about Lisbeth Salander by Mikael Blomkvist?
Yes.
- What is your conclusion? - They are false.
They were written long before -
Peter Teleborian had the opportunity to examine Lisbeth Salander in jail.
They were also produced in collaboration with Jonas Sandberg.
That's a lie!
Is it a lie? No, not at all.
The documents are dated and there is email correspondence -
between Peter Teleborian and Jonas Sandberg proving this.
He is part of a clandestine group inside SAPO, which since the 70's -
has protected Alexander Zalachenko.
This group was behind the decision -
to confine Lisbeth Salander at St. Stephen's in 1993.
Jonas Sandberg is one of a few handfuls of people -
Who has now beeen arrested.
He is suspected of aiding in the murder of Gunnar Björck -
and possibly other murders, we are still collecting evidence.
Will Peter Teleborian comment on this?
Two policemen are waiting outside the court.
They will take Peter Teleborian with them for questioning.
Why?
He is arrested on suspicion of serious child pornography.
Specifically, possession of 8000 child pornography images
and movies found in his computer.
This has now been seized.
If you will come this way?
Be seated.
The court was unable to assess all of the information in the last hour -
but finds no reason to keep Lisbeth Salander in custody.
You are free to go.
Are you sure that you don't want to go to Millennium? - Yes.
You can drop me off here at Folkungatan.
You know that this is all thanks to Micke?
Yeah. But...
Yes.
Will I be able to contact you? Catch me on email.
Well.
Bye.
Why did it end like this? Justice prevailed.
So now there is a party? Now there is a party.
What happens now? Now it begins!
...suspected of murder, among other things.
The organisation worked from this building in Stockholm -
behind serious legal assaults against Lisbeth Salander.
But the story begins in the 60's.
When the Section began to monitor the nation's interests.
Formally, they never existed.
Evidence suggests that not even the Head of National Security knew of the Section.
In the mid-70's the Section recruited a Soviet spy...
L. has been released. Cleared of all charges, and no longer under guardianship. We did It!
Here. What is this?
It is Zalachenko's legacy.
I don't want anything from that pig.
No, but now you have.
So I need your signature that you have received this.
These are securities worth $300,000-
plus the property in Gosseberga is valued at $1.5 million.
I don't want anything to do with it.
Then there is this...
An abandoned brick warehouse outside Norrtälje.
Just valued at $150,000.
Okay.
Sell it all and give the money to charity.
I think you need to read it through.
Afterwards, I can sell it for you.
Micke says hello.
- Pizza Bussola? For you. - Thank you. Bye.
What is this shit?
You deserve to die, you pig.
"Directroy Assistance" Yes, hello.
Give me the number of the motorcycle club in Svavelsjö.
- Who is it? Are you interested in Niedermann?
OK, I'm listening.
Emergency.
The Police killer Ronald Niederman is at Skederyds brickyard in Norrtälje.
A motorcycle gang are going to kill him. They are heavily armed.
Am I disturbing you?
- I was lying in the bath. - Yes, I can see...
- Have you seen the news? - No.
Ronald Niederman is dead. A motorcycle gang from Svavelsjö killed him.
Then the police arrived and arrested them all.
Thanks a lot.
Thank you.
Thank you, you
Keep in touch.
Absolutely.
