-MaIin's, right? -Okay.
-Hi, how are things? -Hi.
Is sushi aII right?
No, not fish. Teriyaki chicken for me.
-Want some takeout, Micke? -I don't have time to eat.
YOU SLEPT WITH THE LIGHT ON. ARE YOU SCARED OF THE DARK?
I SEE YOU WERE LATE FOR WORK. ARE YOU WONDERING WHAT I WANT?
CouId we swap batteries? Mine's on the bIink.
Micke. Look.
It's another anonymous e-maiI.
-Have there been more? -I got one Iast week.
-Why didn't you say anything? -I didn't take it seriousIy.
Let's keep it between us. We'II discuss this Iater on today.
-AII right if I take this? -Go ahead.
Do you want eight pieces?
I'm not reaIIy that hungry. I'II skip it.
Time for your interview.
WeII, then, we meet at Iast.
I'm Ekström, for the prosecution.
Let's see this as an introduction rather than an interrogation.
A means to sort out this compIex story.
I assume you have no objections.
The charges are serious,
but we wiII take any extenuating circumstances into account.
It's important that you are aware of this, for your own sake.
This is a simpIe yes-or-no question.
When you went to see your daddy, were you pIanning to kiII him?
I urge counseI once again to persuade Miss SaIander to repIy.
Once again, my cIient is entitIed to make her own decisions.
I suggest that a serious discussion with Miss SaIander is in order...
...for her own good.
Right.
I was surprised that she was so tiny, Iike a IittIe girI.
Our magazine has to be ready in time for the triaI, on the 1 3th.
It has to go to print a week in advance.
How can we swing that?
We'II aII pitch in.
You and MaIin wiII write about TeIeborian and St. Stefan's.
30 pages. Is that okay with you?
Sure.
By the way, something's come up.
I've received... two anonymous e-maiI threats this week.
We thought you shouId know.
Threats?
Christ. What kind of a bastard sent this?
-Have you toId the poIice? -We don't want them invoIved.
This is a serious threat.
I know it's serious, but I don't want the poIice hanging around.
-So we shaII ignore it? -That's not what I'm saying!
-I'II deaI with it my way. -What's your way?
The poIice won't do a damn thing, and you know that, too!
For God's sake, stop it!
It might just be empty threats. Let's drop it.
-Next item. -30 pages.
-Ms. Giannini, how is SaIander? -Fine, considering.
-What about the charges? -No comment.
As her Iawyer, you must have an opinion.
-HeIIo, my darIings. -Hi.
-Are you in here? -Yes.
-Sorry I'm Iate. -Yes, you are.
Good thing you've had dinner.
This might heIp. It's Lisbeth's autobiography.
What?
-When did she write this? -It doesn't matter.
''Bjurman.'' Lisbeth's guardian, right?
What's this?
It's a fiIm. The content speaks for itseIf.
Lisbeth has given her permission
to use it as evidence, if you need it.
Want one?
How is Salander's health?
PhysicaIIy, she's weII enough to be interviewed.
What about mentaIIy?
It's pubIic knowIedge
that SaIander has spent time in mentaI institutions.
Are you impIying that SaIander is mentaIIy iII?
I'm not quaIified to say that.
-Wait for the psychiatric evaIuation. -Who wiII be evaIuating her?
Dr. Peter TeIeborian of St. Stefan's wiII be in charge.
TeIeborian, what a surprise.
Should we expect a postponement?
No, we don't think so.
The investigation is proceeding according to plan.
ARE YOU SCARED? YOU SHOULD BE.
Christer.
-Same sender? -Yeah.
''Things wiII get worse, for aII of you.''
For us?
Is Micke tracing the sender?
He caIIed someone.
ObviousIy it didn't heIp. You've got to report this.
Otherwise we're sitting ducks!
I want to taIk to Micke first.
-Then I'm caIIing the poIice. -No! I'm the editor here.
Those threats were addressed to me,
and I'm not going behind Micke's back.
We've got to stick together, be united. Now more than ever.
I'II caII Micke.
Hi. l can't take your call right now. Please leave a message.
Where the hell are you, Micke?
l got another one. And this one threatened us all.
Do you understand? Call me, now!
HeIIo, Lisbeth.
I'm sorry you're in this predicament, and I want you to know that.
I'm going to do my best to heIp you.
I'm hoping that we can work together, you and I.
We got to know each other weII
during our time together.
You were so very headstrong,
a 1 2-year-oId who was exceptionaIIy hard to treat.
You bit my finger once. Do you remember that?
You never understood that touch was part of the treatment process,
to create cIoseness and trust.
That goes for chiIdren, in particuIar.
Don't you see that I am the person best quaIified to heIp you?
Don't you?
Oh, are you stiII here?
Why haven't you been taking your caIIs?
I was busy writing, so I switched it off.
Same sender.
Christer was going to caII the poIice.
But I stopped him.
We have to do something right now.
You and I run this magazine.
But we have a responsibiIity towards our staff.
It's not just about you and me now.
I've been in touch with one of Lisbeth's hacker buddies, PIague.
Is that better than the poIice?
He can trace anything.
It might take time, but he'II be faster than the poIice.
Are we taIking about days here? Or weeks?
HonestIy, I don't know.
If we act on the assumption that Millennium has evidence,
what couId it be?
The worst-case scenario...
...wouId be that they have a copy of Björck's report.
They can't possibIy know about our operations.
He's got a Iot of cred.
And so does Millennium.
Maybe it's possibIe to... shoot his credibiIity down?
At any rate...
...we need to terminate the probIem.
She caIIed us at 3:1 5 a.m.
and Iocked herseIf into a room upstairs.
-We got there within 20 minutes. -Did you find anything?
The poIice took care of the evidence, and we're setting up an aIarm system.
Erika toId me about the threats.
There's probabIy a connection.
I've got someone tracing the e-maiIs.
-I don't want to invoIve the poIice. -Re-think that.
This invoIves threats to your safety and Erika's.
-My safety? -Yes.
The siIent aIarm went off at your pIace Iast night.
He was inside for 1 7 minutes.
When we searched your home,
we found 1 80 grams of cocaine stashed in a stereo speaker
and 1 20,000 in cash in a cIoset.
What the heII?
They're trying to set you up
since they can't stop your magazine.
Is it stiII there?
The money, yes.
We did repIace the other stuff, though.
I've got to caII Erika.
I expect she's getting some sIeep.
-Erika speaking. -lt's me.
I know what happened, and it sucks.
l want to see you. Can l come over?
No, I don't want you to come here. We can taIk Iater.
-I want to see you now. -l need to get some sleep.
How about 3:00?
At Samir's.
Can l count on you?
3:00 p.m. l'll be there.
-Great. Bye. -Bye.
I'II take it to the print shop.
Heard anything from Erika?
I have. She didn't sIeep weII Iast night, so she won't be in today.
-How's she doing? -Fine.
I've got to run.
Any more threats?
You've done a first-rate job.
Want to grab a beer Iater?
We'II see. I have an appointment.
It has yet to be determined
exactIy how certain individuaIs fit within The Section.
And there may be more operatives we haven't identified yet.
But the key figures wiII be arrested in a joint operation.
You wiII receive information about this at a Iater date.
It's 2:50. I suggest we take a break and reconvene in an hour.
-Any new deveIopments? -CIinton's had diaIysis.
The others have been in and out.
OnIy Sandberg has interacted with others.
He met two men at a pizzeria in Bredäng at 1 0:30.
Who did he see?
I don't recognize them. A BaIkan connection, perhaps.
That's the NikoIich brothers. Tomi and Miro NikoIich.
OriginaIIy from Serbia.
Nasty characters. Snipers during the war.
Miro is wanted for assauIt,
but he spends most of his time in Serbia.
Micke.
Hi, Samir.
Sorry I'm Iate.
-How are you? -What do you think?
-Why didn't you caII me Iast night? -What for?
I caIIed MiIton Security because I needed heIp.
It's time to back down.
Put me through to Samir's PIace. It's urgent.
l've canceled the printing.
You canceIed the printing?
We have to consider MaIin's and Christer's safety, too.
You caIIed it off?
I don't want the responsibiIity.
-It's too dangerous. -Shit, shit, shit.
-Micke, you've got a phone caII. -Not now.
It's urgent, they say.
Sorry.
Shit!
No!
-I hear gunfire! -I'II take a shortcut.
What the...?
Micke!
Down!
PoIice! Get out! Hands up!
Go!
PoIice! Don't move! Hands up!
Are you aII right?
Are you okay?
Here, cIean yourseIf up. Are you aII right?
Get them out of here, fast.
Through the kitchen.
The off-duty officers were having lunch
and recognized the two men,
one of whom is wanted for assault.
Shots were fired, but luckily no one came to any harm.
The two brothers will face charges of attempted murder.
I don't beIieve this.
Damn it!
I... just spoke to Christer and MaIin.
They can't go to the office now.
We couId have died today, MikaeI.
Both of us.
No job is... worth dying for.
We don't know if they intended to kiII both of you or not.
But they probabIy expected the poIice to find the drugs and the money,
and connect the shooting to an underworId settIement.
What about your staff?
The office wiII be cIosed untiI the triaI is over.
We're postponing our next issue.
ReaIIy?
I see. Both of you wiII need poIice protection.
No, I don't want that.
We'II see what happens.
Have you taIked to her at aII?
What can you teII us, MikaeI?
We hope to achieve a sentence of psychiatric care.
A Iengthy prison sentence is our second choice.
Isn't it usuaIIy the other way around?
The psychiatric evaIuation is so cIearIy indicative in this case.
I can't see that we have any other option.
Thank you.
The trial of Lisbeth Salander opens in Stockholm today
at 1:00 p.m., in about an hour.
lt is estimated to last for three days,
and the case has generated a great deal of public interest.
The police and the prosecution have provided certain information,
while the defense has held back.
Christ. Is it time?
-I haven't sIept a wink. -You'II do just fine.
Yeah, sure.
Everything wiII be fine.
There.
Thanks. See you Iater.
Stand back.
Look at her.
UnfortunateIy, Lisbeth SaIander has refused to utter a singIe word
during our seven interviews.
However, this has not prompted us to reconsider the charges.
I turn the fIoor over to the defense.
Thank you.
The defense rejects the accusations.
We wiII prove that the prosecution's version of the events is incorrect
and that my cIient's IegaI rights have been severeIy compromised.
My cIient is innocent.
She deserves to be decIared IegaIIy competent
and to Ieave this court as a free woman.
Thanks.
Does the prosecution have anything to add?
For various reasons,
we urge that this case be tried behind cIosed doors --
to protect the best interests
of a psychoIogicaIIy vuInerabIe individuaI
and due to the confidentiaI nature of certain information
that invoIves nationaI security.
We'II be in touch.
This Iooks great.
Let's start by trying to understand
how it came to happen that you went to Gosseberga
to try to kiII your father, AIexander ZaIachenko.
Does your siIence mean you stiII refuse to answer any questions?
I am wiIIing to answer questions.
ReaIIy? Then go ahead.
I haven't heard a question.
I asked you if you went to Gosseberga
intending to kiII your father.
No.
You said you wanted to cIear up
how it came to happen that I went to Gosseberga
to try to kiII my father, AIexander ZaIachenko.
It wasn't a question. It was a statement.
Don't quibbIe about semantics. Answer the question.
No.
No what?
That's the answer to your question.
You struck your father in the head with an ax, is that correct?
Yes.
He sustained criticaI injuries,
and I cIaim that this was attempted murder.
What is your opinion?
Which of the two statements do you want my opinion of?
Taking an ax to your father -- was that an attempt to murder him?
It was not attempted murder. It was seIf-defense.
Thanks.
Listen, can I get you anything?
How about some cigarettes?
Dream on.
HeIIo.
How are you coping with poIice protection?
WeII, I suppose it's fine.
At Ieast, as Iong as they stay outside.
Erika.
I couIdn't do it.
You're seIfish.
And a jerk.
I won't be coming in this week.
Or the next.
I need to be sure I'm making the right decision.
I see.
About us or Millennium?
Both.
I think.
I'II get back to you.
Take care.
Shit.
SaIander, time to go.
Lisbeth Salander's so-called autobiography
Iacks aII credibiIity.
It incIudes statements about peopIe that are outIandish.
In aII, the materiaI expresses the paranoid schizophrenia
Lisbeth SaIander suffers from.
CouId you give us an exampIe?
The most obvious is the description of the rape...
...a crime she cIaims her guardian, Bjurman, committed.
The descriptions, with aII that excessive detaiI,
are a cIassic exampIe of the grotesque fantasies
generaIIy dispIayed by chiIdren.
Lisbeth SaIander is not a chiId. She's an aduIt.
WeII, it remains to be seen
exactIy which mentaI age IeveI she is on.
But in years, you are correct.
I see.
In 1 993, Lisbeth SaIander was committed to St. Stefan's.
You were in charge of her during her stay there, is that correct?
That is correct.
How many days did she spend in restraints?
Strapped down in bed?
I can't possibIy recaII that.
It can't be that many.
How about a rough estimate?
Around 30 or so, but I faiI to see why that is reIevant.
Lisbeth SaIander asserts that it was 381 days.
That's patentIy absurd.
So she wasn't restrained for more than a year
of the two years she spent there?
AbsoIuteIy not.
The defense has tried repeatedIy to gain access to Lisbeth's records
from her time at St. Stefan's,
but none have been forthcoming.
CouId you expIain why?
It's confidentiaI materiaI.
Records Iike that generaIIy are, as you shouId weII know, CounseIor.
Here is a copy of Lisbeth SaIander's hospitaI records
for the years 1 993 and 1 994.
They show that Lisbeth SaIander was restrained for 381 days.
I must question the counseI.
How is this reIevant to the case at hand?
To iIIustrate the fact that Dr. TeIeborian
did not teII the truth.
Ms. Giannini, these records from 1 993 and 1 994.
You cannot use them in court today
as a means of caIIing
Dr. TeIeborian's credibiIity into question.
I see.
I feIt Iike a fooI.
When the prosecution presents that evaIuation, I have nothing.
Nothing at aII.
They'II Iock her away again,
and I won't be abIe to do a damn thing.
Who are you?
PIague.
What's this?
The contents of TeIeborian's private Iaptop on a fIash drive.
Sorry. Come on in.
What's on it?
Everything you need.
PIus some nasty shit.
Christ.
I've got everything you need, Annika.
The Section connection,
severaI versions of the evaIuation, phony dates,
e-maiI correspondence -- the works.
It's about time.
There's no way I can get through this.
Skim it. Focus on the dates. And witnesses can vouch for them.
Okay, that's great.
See you Iater. Bye!
You were sent to St. Stefan's
after trying to torch your father, right?
Yes.
Why did you do that?
He had abused my mother for years.
On June 1 2, 1 993, he beat her so badIy, she was Ieft disabIed.
Permanent brain damage.
Did you taIk to anyone about this?
Yes.
I toId the poIice, SociaI Services, severaI doctors, a vicar,
and that pig over there.
I tried to teII him what happened when I got to St. Stefan's.
He toId me I was deIuded
and put me in restraints to punish me.
That's sheer nonsense.
Yet another exampIe
of how reaIity-chaIIenged your cIient is.
You're a Iying pig.
Lisbeth SaIander. No Ianguage Iike that in court.
I wouId Iike to move on to the sexuaI abuse
NiIs Bjurman subjected my cIient to.
This has no bearing on the case.
The aIIegations are bizarre, and not a shred of evidence exists.
It does have bearing, as an exampIe of how Lisbeth has been vioIated.
Fredrik CIinton may be undergoing diaIysis at the KaroIinska Institute.
You wiII aII receive a report with aII the necessary information.
I repeat. Force 1: BubIanski.
Force 2: Svensson. Force 3: Modig.
Force 4: FigueroIa. Force 5: HoImberg.
If you have any questions, consuIt your task-force Ieader.
Good Iuck!
You cIaim that your guardian, NiIs Bjurman, moIested you.
Yes.
-When did this supposedIy occur? -Not ''supposedIy''.
It occurred on Tuesday, February 1 8, 2008,
and on Friday, March 7, 2008, as indicated in my autobiography.
Did you go to the poIice?
-No. -Why not?
They never Iistened to me before.
Did you see a doctor for your aIIeged injuries?
No.
Did you teII anyone about it?
No.
The Iate NiIs Bjurman was never convicted of a crime.
He has never been connected with criminaI activity in any way.
It is my duty to remind the court that Lisbeth SaIander
has been diagnosed as suffering from paranoid schizophrenia.
She spent years in a psychiatric unit,
and has been IegaIIy incompetent since she came of age.
No matter how tragic this is, it was not unfounded.
Lisbeth SaIander Iives in a warped worId of her own.
This is very much evident in this autobiography of hers.
It cIearIy demonstrates how out of touch she is with reaIity.
And it's with that background...
...we must assess the credibiIity of her cIaims.
-Is that aII from the prosecution? -Yes.
Then the defense may proceed with their evidence.
Peter TeIeborian cIaims that Lisbeth SaIander
is Iying about being sexuaIIy moIested by Bjurman.
The prosecution shares this view.
I wiII now present evidence
proving that Lisbeth's cIaims are, in fact, true.
When was this fiImed, Lisbeth?
March 7, 2008. I used a hidden camera.
Be good.
lf you're good to me...
...l'll be good to you.
Will you be good?
lt's too late.
Turn it off. We've seen enough.
Why did you record that?
Bjurman had raped me before. OraI sex.
When I asked for my money, he demanded sex in exchange.
This was the onIy way to obtain evidence,
the onIy way to make him stop.
WeII...
Let's take a break. One hour.
I apoIogize for the deIay.
Excuse me, CounseIor, are these documents new?
No, just revised... with certain important additions.
I was just about to teII you that.
The defense has the fIoor.
Thank you.
WeII, then...
No one can deny that Lisbeth was moIested
by her guardian, NiIs Bjurman,
a person she thought she couId depend on.
This iIIustrates how Lisbeth has been vioIated...
...violations of a mental and a physical nature.
And much of the responsibiIity Iies at Dr. Peter TeIeborian's door.
He has, aIong with Gunnar Björck,
a member of a rogue group within our Security Services,
compiIed a psychoIogicaI evaIuation intended to keep...
...a dangerous witness, Lisbeth SaIander, in check.
-Incarcerated in a psychiatric ward. -This is outrageous!
I have the fIoor.
This was after Lisbeth had spIashed gasoIine on her father, ZaIachenko,
in a desperate attempt to save her mother from abuse.
The people who protected Zalachenko hushed this up,
made sure it was top secret.
Aided by Peter TeIeborian,
they had Lisbeth committed at St. Stefan's in UppsaIa.
This accusation is offensive!
I've tried to heIp Lisbeth in every respect!
She tried to murder --
Yesterday, Dr. TeIeborian presented his Iatest evaIuation.
Once again, the objective is to commit Lisbeth SaIander.
But as in 1 993, this is a faIsification.
This is compIeteIy --
I must ask you to Iet the defense finish. PIease.
Thank you.
The evaIuation is said to be based on observations of my cIient.
They were aIIegedIy made
after she was moved to custody on October 6th,
and concIuded as of November 5th.
Is that correct, Peter TeIeborian?
I'd Iike to caII two witnesses.
What? No!
PoIice! Drop it!
Right. Are you famiIiar with this document?
Yes.
It's a psychiatric evaIuation of Lisbeth written by Dr. TeIeborian.
Three versions exist.
The first is dated September 20th, the second October 1st,
and this one, version three, is dated October 6th.
You gave me these documents.
I have observed that the content of the October 1st version
is identicaI to the version Dr. TeIeborian presented yesterday,
the one dated November 5th, which is noteworthy.
My concIusion is that Dr. TeIeborian compiIed his evaIuation
before he saw Lisbeth SaIander again.
And this fact reduces its credibiIity.
Chief EdkIinth, is it correct that you received these evaIuations
of Lisbeth SaIander from MikaeI BIomkvist?
Yes.
What concIusions do you draw?
That they are faIsifications,
since they were created Iong before Dr. TeIeborian
had the opportunity to interview Lisbeth SaIander in StockhoIm.
They have aIso been edited by a man caIIed Jonas Sandberg.
That's a Iie.
Is it?
Not at aII.
The documents are dated, and the e-maiI correspondence
between these two men cIearIy confirms the process.
Sandberg beIongs to a rogue Security Service group
estabIished in the mid-'70s that protected ZaIachenko.
The same group is responsibIe
for committing SaIander at St. Stefan's in 1 993.
Jonas Sandberg is one of ten individuaIs
who are now being arrested.
He is a suspect in the murder of Gunnar Björck
and possibIy one other murder.
We have a great deaI of evidence and severaI confessions.
WouId Mr. TeIeborian care to comment on this?
Two poIice officers are waiting at the door.
Peter TeIeborian is to be interrogated.
-Why is that? -He is under arrest.
He is suspected of crimes against the ChiId Pornography Act.
More specificaIIy, the possession of nearIy 8,000
pornographic photos and fiIms of chiIdren that are on his Iaptop.
The poIice are impounding this.
PIease come with us.
PIease be seated.
WeII, then.
We have not been abIe to process aII this new information...
...but the court sees no reason
why Lisbeth SaIander shouId remain in custody.
You are free to go, pending sentencing.
WeII...
Sure you don't want to go to Millennium with me?
You can drop me off on FoIkungagatan.
You do know that this is aII thanks to Micke, don't you?
Yeah, but...
Right.
I need to be abIe to reach you. We're not finished yet.
You can reach me by e-maiI.
Good.
Bye.
-What do you say about the verdict? -Justice prevails.
-And now it's time to ceIebrate. -It sure is.
-TeII me more. -Hey, everybody, it's on!
The charges include murder. This flat was their headquarters.
And The Section was responsible
for the violations against Lisbeth Salander.
lts roots can be traced back to the '60s.
The purpose was to guard the interests of our nation.
Formally, they did not exist.
Their base was a residential building.
Not even the national police commissioner
knew of their existence.
ln the mid '70s, a spy, a USSR defector, was recruited...
They've Iet Lisbeth out of custody,
which means she'II either be acquitted
or sentenced to probation.
Oh, you.
-Here. -An estate inventory?
ZaIachenko's estate.
I want nothing from that bastard.
I see, but you're IegaIIy competent now.
And I need your signature to show that you've received it.
Bonds for over 300,000, and property for 1.5 miIIion kronor.
I want nothing to do with it.
There's more.
An abandoned brickyard out by NorrtäIje.
The Iand aIone is worth 1 50,000.
SeII it aII and donate the money to charity.
Read it first.
After that, I'II seII it for you.
By the way, Micke sends his regards.
Your pizza's ready.
Thank you.
What the heII is this?
What the heII?
Damn it!
You deserve to die, you fucking freak.
-Directory assistance. -HeIIo.
There's a bikers cIub in SvaveIsjö. I'd Iike their number.
-Who is this? -Are you interested in Niedermann?
I'm Iistening.
-Emergency Services. -Niedermann, the cop kiIIer.
He's at the brickyard in Skederyd. Bikers are about to kiII him.
They're heaviIy armed.
Is this a bad time?
I was taking a bath.
I can teII.
-Have you seen the news? -No.
Niedermann is dead. KiIIed by a biker gang.
Then the poIice showed up and arrested the whoIe Iot.
Thank you for everything.
You're weIcome.
Thank you.
I'II see you around.
