You came here to kill me.
You came here...
to kill me.
All units, all units:
The suspect is considered extremely dangerous.
Proceed with caution.

The Girl who Kicked the Hornets' Nest
Her name is Lisbeth Salander.
She's 28 years old.
In this issue of Millennium, we will describe
how several authorities conspired against Lisbeth Salander
to protect a pathological killer.
Keep fighting. You can do it, Lisbeth.
Alexander Zalachenko,
a former Soviet agent.
His criminal activity in Sweden
includes gunrunning,
drug dealing, trafficking,
and numerous assault charges.
Alexander Zalachenko is Lisbeth Salander's father.
This issue of Millennium
is dedicated to providing justice for Lisbeth Salander.
Hello?
Can you open your eyes?
My name is Anders Jonasson. I'm your doctor.
You're in Sahlgrenska Hospital in Gothenburg.
Counting up to 10 too hard for you?
One, two,
three, four...
Well done.
My article will span about 40 or 50 pages.
I also want to include portions
of Gunnar Bjork’s report in facsimile. I think we'll get a lot more impact
that way. - And what about pictures?
Do we have any yet? - Not a whole lot.
We can find stock shots of Gunnar Bjork,
Teleborian and, hopefully, Zalachenko.
Couple of shots of Sankt Stefans Hospital
would be good, too. - And a few of Lisbeth.
- Sounds like at least 75 pages. - Just be prepared.
It might be even more.
Think we might be able to get some more names?
No, no, no! We have to focus on what we've got.
We just have to hope this issue will fan the flames.
And if we're lucky, it'll flush out some more of these guys.
Let's go.
This just in: We have now received the latest update
on the police killings this morning near Gosseberga.
An extensive manhunt is in progress.
The police have identified the 35-year-old suspect
as German national Ronald Niedermann.
He is considered armed and extremely dangerous.
Good evening. I'm here to see Fredrik Clinton.
- And who shall I say is calling? - Evert Gullberg.
We worked together for a long time.
My father's resting now, but come in.
Zalachenko will do what benefits himself most.
Nothing else matters to him.
Yes, that's what I think as well.
But... we just can't risk him running around everywhere
opening his mouth.
It's imperative that he doesn't say a word.
I agree.
But look at me.
I'm in no condition to do anything.
Fredrik...
we need you one last time.
I can't.
I'm no longer fit to command.
I spend five hours every other day in dialysis.
I'm going to die soon.
They're not gonna find me a kidney in time.
That's just the way it is, my friend.
Thank you, dear.
Fresh out of the oven.
I never knew you had a daughter.
Yes.
We don't know much about each other's lives, do we?
Even though...
we've worked together for...
35 years or more.
And what about Lisbeth Salander?
What should we do now that charges have been brought against her?
Hey, Lisbeth.
How are you?
Remember me?
Anders Jonasson, your doctor.
It's natural to be tired.
You had a bullet in your head when you got here.
Fortunately, we were able to remove it.
Far as we can tell, no vital functions were affected.
You got lucky there.
You were also shot in the shoulder and in the hip.
But you should heal up nicely.
Is...
there brain damage?
Brain damage usually takes a while to manifest,
but you should be fine.
The police have been around to ask you some questions.
But I told them to wait until your condition improved.
I'm sure they'll be back, but for now I won't let them in.
What about Zalachenko?
For now, his condition is stable.
But he took quite a beating.
Fuck.
I was wondering when you'd show up.
We've been discussing how we can help you.
In order to come up with a strategy...
we need to hear your version as well.
And what would this...
strategy
consist of?
We'll work out the details together.
But it's going to be rather impossible to avoid
some sort of prison sentence.
Oh, yeah, really?
Is that right? - We'll provide you
with an attorney and anything else...
But you'll have to cooperate.
And give us certain assurances.
Niedermann.
Niedermann will be the fall guy.
He's the one who shot Lisbeth.
There are certain charges against you that are going to be
difficult to overlook.
That's your problem.
And if you don't take care of it...
I'll just contact the media.
I've got name, dates. I've got everything.
I can blow you out of the water, take you all down with me.
I'm a survivor.
I'm surprised you don't all know that... - Zalachenko,
you don't understand! - You don't understand.
We don't have time for this conversation.
One last thing.
Lisbeth.
What about her?
She disappears.
Is that understood?
Good.
Good...
Hey. Sorry I'm late.
Okay. My sister just got here. I'll call you later, all right?
Bye.
- Wasn't anyone home? - No.
Listen, Mikael...
What?
She tried to kill her father with an ace.
That's attempted murder.
Or self-defence.
But the charges are attempted murder, aren't they?
Well, that means she's gonna need a criminal lawyer.
You know about domestic issues.
Lisbeth and her mother
were both victims of domestic abuse at the hands of Zalachenko
and had no help from the authorities,
and this was long before the incidents at Gosseberga.
And here I have documents to prove it.
These are copies of the report compiled by a member
of the Security Service, Gunnar Bjork.
Right there is proof
that an innocent 12-year-old girl
was illegally committed into a mental institution,
and then declared legally incompetent.
This report is confidential.
All you have to say is a journalist unwilling to reveal his sources
gave it to you. - Right.
You're willing to go to great lengths for this Lisbeth Salander,
aren't you?
Yeah.
Dear Prime Minister... ...warning you of danger...
murder...
King of Sweden
Archbishop
Prime Minister
The Stockholm-Gothenburg express train is now arriving
at Platform 6.
I don't need a lawyer.
You're charged with attempting to murder your father.
And Mikael told me that they will try to have you committed.
So you do need a lawyer.
But you can choose someone else if you want.
Unless you'd prefer that the court appointed you counsel.
Should I take your silence as a sign for me to leave?
It's your call.
Do you have a cigarette?
Could I get a nicotine patch for a patient?
- Sure thing. I'll be right back. - Great. Thanks.
Code blue. We need a crash cart in room 3.
Mikael gave me this.
I think you know what it is, right?
You and I are gonna have to talk before we go to trial.
And I need you to be completely forthcoming with me.
Mikael's told me a lot, but he did say there are some things
that you had better tell me yourself, so take your time.
I think you know what he was referring to.
Something about computer files and some private footage on a DVD?
After all these years,
after everything we've done for you,
you try to threaten us?
That's just scandalous.
I do what I have to, to survive.
Every day of my life, I fight to survive.
No. You do that because you're nothing but a rotten man
with no sense of honour.
And no morals to speak of.
I came here today to give you our answer.
We're not going to bail you out this time.
You're done.
You have no choice.
And you know it.
Life has taught me
there's always a choice.
Idiots.
I'm going to destroy you all.
You're not going to do anything else.
No, no, no, don't try to get up.
You stay here. I'll go see what's going on out there.
Everyone, come on, clear out!
He's got a gun!
Hurry!
What's going on'?!
I'll help you. Here, lean on me!
Just a few steps! Come on!
Lean on me!
Good. Hold yourself there!
He kept trying to get in, but we blocked the door.
It was unreal - an old man like that with a gun!
Why would an old man like that have a gun?
What a nightmare. Then I heard him shoot himself.
And you're sure? You're absolutely positive
he was coming after Lisbeth?
Yes! I'm telling you, I've never been so scared in my life!
Listen, Annika, I can come down there if you like.
No. I made arrangements to stay with my friend Vera.
Do you remember me talking about her? She's an old friend of mine from school.
Anyway, she lives here. - Sorry, the police press briefing.
We have to hurry. - I have to let you go.
I'll talk to you later.
Call me back later. You promise?
- Bye. - Bye.
You'd think the police would notice an old man walking around with a gun!
I know! It's hard to believe this sort of thing
could happen around here. - Seriously.
No one should be able to walk into a hospital in broad daylight
and open fire on a patient.
What a surprise.
Fredrik!
What brings you here?
Please, please, come in.
Yes, sir, we're still trying to get more information.
Yes, but what time was that exactly?
Well, then, find out! - My God, what are...?
Have you heard the news?
Zalachenko's been shot.
And, apparently, Evert Gullberg's the one who killed him.
Yeah, I'll call you back later.
It's been complete chaos and no one wants to confirm anything.
Well, let me confirm it for you.
It was Evert who killed him.
Exactly as we had planned.
Can I bring you some coffee, gentlemen?
No, thank you. Leave us.
What the hell are you talking about?
What plan?
Gullberg only had a few more months to live.
Cancer of the liver.
He volunteered to undertake one more mission for us.
He died a hero.
So you knew he was going to kill Zalachenko?
Of course I did.
His... mission...
was to silence Zalachenko...
and Salander.
That was the plan.
Are you as crazy as Gullberg?
Choose your words carefully, Hallberg.
It was the right call.
We did what was necessary. - What was necessary?!
What the hell?! Do you have any idea what you're talking about?!
You and Gullberg had no bloody right making that damn decision!
Whatever happens,
the death of Zalachenko will never be connected to any of us.
And that goes for Evert Gullberg as well.
We have to make decisions
that no one else has the guts to make.
That's our duty, gentlemen, like it or not.
Don't wait for the politicians...
it's as simple as that.
One last thing.
I'm returning to active duty.
So I'll be assuming control
of all operations.
Are there any questions?
The man who walked into the hospital and fired the fatal shots,
before turning the gun on himself,
has been identified.
He was a 78-year-old senior citizen.
According to preliminary reports,
he was a former accountant and tax lawyer.
Do you have a name?
That is still classified information at this time.
And can you tell us what ties he had with Lisbeth Salander?
None. There were no ties whatsoever with her.
According to the information we have, everything points to it being the work
of a lone perpetrator acting on his own paranoid delusions.
He had been sending letters to politicians,
as well as various media representatives, saying that
Alexander Zalachenko was a danger and that he deserved to die.
According to Security Services
all signs point to the man suffering from a psychiatric condition.
You've been listening to the police press conference
given only hours ago.
Our late-night update will include more on the victim,
Alexander Zalachenko. - No! No! No! No!
- Dinnertime? - Yeah, Salisbury steak and veggies.
Sounds good.
- Here you go. - Thank you.
Lisbeth?
- Wait, let me help you. - No, thank you.
Enjoy your dinner.
Here's a suggestion.
I'm not going home tonight. I got a hotel room.
Why don't you spend the night with me?
I'm completely spent.
I camped out at the office last night. - Well, then, we'll just sleep.
That's four times that I see that car parked here.
- Are you sure? - Positive.
How are we going to fix this fiasco?!
We couldn't foresee everything.
The police have tightened security at the hospital.
Well, that's great, Clinton!
How the hell are you supposed to avoid a trial now?!
Would you mind telling me that?
I don't think we can.
We're going to need some help.
Closed-door proceedings that will get her committed
once and for all.
But she has to be convicted of shooting Alexander Zalachenko.
And then declared criminally insane by the court.
Then we'll request that she be treated here at Sankt Stefans.
Yes.
If nothing else, for her own sake.
Who is our prosecutor?
Ekstrom.
Not a star, but ambitious.
We can handle him.
Is Bjork's report still a threat?
The copies are being collected.
Then I guess I'll leave that in your capable hands.
Yes, you will. You worry too much.
And what about the big, blond goon who worked for Zalachenko?
Where's he these days?
Ronald Niedermann.
He's still on the run.
But it's just a matter of time before we find him.
You know, he's...
Lisbeth Salander's half-brother.
Zalachenko had an affair
with a woman in Hamburg.
This whole story has all the elements of a classic Greek drama.
Zalachenko tries to kill his daughter
and enlists the help of her half-brother.
Then she literally rises from the grave
and hits her father in the head with an ace.
Yes, well...
I suppose you could see it that way.
We'll be in touch.
See you later, Vera. Bye!
Hey!
Give me back my bag now!
Hey! Come back!
Shit! Come on!
This guy drove by on a scooter
and snatched my bag. - What?
Are you all right? - Yeah, I'm fine.
You're okay?
Yes, yes, don't worry.
But I had Bjork's report in it.
Don't worry, I've got another copy at home.
Listen, Annika... - Yeah.
- I'll call you back. - Okay.
Milton Security, Armansky.
Hello- This is Mikael Blomkvist- I think I'm gonna need your services
What's the problem?
Someone broke into my apartment.
You did the right thing calling me.
Let me call you back from the office.
All right. Call me back on my mobile.
Fine. I'll do that.
The case against Lisbeth Salander is straightforward.
I know.
Even though Alexander Zalachenko has died since then.
But if the truth about Zalachenko was to get out,
it would no doubt complicate things a great deal.
There's more at stake here. It's about saving lives
and Sweden's relations to a foreign power.
And also about secrets of state.
I understand.
I read the report mainly for background.
It's not relevant in the case against Lisbeth Salander.
And, besides, the report has been officially withdrawn.
Exactly.
But certain aspects are still useful,
especially since Salander tried to kill her father before this as well.
I could get you access to that part of the report.
Well, that would...
be quite helpful.
I'll make certain that you get it, then.
Who might your superior be?
All you need know is that my orders come from the highest quarters.
So you're not to discuss this matter with anyone other than myself.
You can count on my discretion.
Anders Jonasson?
Yes.
My name's Peter Teleborian.
I'm chief of the psychiatric department at Sankt Stefans in Uppsala.
I'd like to discuss a private matter with you.
It's about one of your patients, Lisbeth Salander.
And?
Shall we?
Yes'?
I've been taking care of Lisbeth Salander since she was 12 years old.
I believe I'm the only person who can...
understand her mental state. - And that would be...?
Lisbeth has displayed some complex psychiatric symptoms.
She has at times suffered from hallucinations,
and displayed paranoid and schizophrenic tendencies.
And, like all sociopaths, she is incapable of feeling empathy.
In a nutshell.
I see.
She does seem a bit withdrawn, but... I wouldn't call her a sociopath.
This woman is extremely manipulative, Doctor.
Lisbeth only shows you what she believes you want to see.
As you can see,
I'm quite concerned about this young woman's mental health.
Yes, I understand.
I need to see her and evaluate her condition
with regards to the upcoming trial.
I'm afraid I can't help you there.
I'm her medical doctor and I'm not sure Lisbeth is...
quite strong enough to see anyone other than her lawyer.
I have a court order that stipulates I could speak with her anytime.
I hoped to skip the formalities, seeing as we're... colleagues,
but you're forcing my hand.
And surely, as a doctor, you're aware...
that my opinion on her condition overrides whatever the court says.
So I'm gonna ask you to be patient
and respect the fact that no one can see my patients unless they go through me.
Very well.
I was hoping for a more... professional reception, Doctor.
How could the government possibly be in the dark?
The notion that they were unaware that a Russian spy had defected
is utterly absurd. - Yes, well...
we had a non-Socialist government back in '76, when Zalachenko defected.
A 30-year-old secret and nothing leaked out?
That's impossible and you know it.
Politicians are incapable of keeping secrets.
Not with everyone writing memoirs these days.
Come on,
not even the Secret Service could. Sooner or later, someone would talk.
I agree.
It would have to be a small group that was autonomous.
But with access to enormous resources.
If they've been around for 30 years
without anything leaking out,
where do we even begin to look for them?
My guess would be Evert Gullberg.
If we dig deep enough into his past, it might lead us to something.
But we have to move fast, so Millennium will be up to speed.
Our next issue has to be out in time for the trial.
Look at the pen.
How am I?
Well, you're getting better every day.
I'm gonna recommend a physiotherapist to help you with your rehabilitation.
They'll help you get back on your feet.
- I don't need any help. - Yes, you do.
Stop picking at that scab.
And you have to start eating more.
You should do something about the food, then.
- Like what? - Get them to serve pizza here.
No...
I don't think the hospital dietician would go for that.
I've never seen pizza on the menu here. - Okay.
A Dr. Peter Teleborian came by today.
He says he treated you.
Anyway, I sent him away empty-handed.
See you later.
Apparently someone got you take-out.
Hi. We met at the hospital. Do you remember me?
Same night Lisbeth Salander was admitted?
Yes, I remember.
Could I speak to you for a minute?
If you're looking for information about Lisbeth Salander,
you're wasting your time. - No, actually, I'm here to provide you
with information about Lisbeth.
Important information.
A conspiracy like that...
Seems pretty hard to believe, don't you think?
I understand how crazy this must sound, but I assure you it's all true.
I have proof and I'm going to publish the whole story.
I'm building a case for Lisbeth as well,
and that's why I'm going to need your help.
I have a favour to ask you.
What favour?
Lisbeth's got some things that...
are private.
Things that would benefit her in court,
and she needs them to access
certain information and evidence.
Here.
The prosecution is restricted.
I know. That's why I'm coming to you.
- Hi. - Hi.
- How's it coming? - Okay.
- Mind if I have a look? - Sure.
Let me see.
- That hurt'? - No.
- What about the headache? - It's okay.
Going away bit by bit. - Good.
Some cop from Stockholm was here earlier.
Hans Faste was his name and...
he's gonna be the one heading up the case.
He seems pretty anxious to interrogate you.
Can you lean back your head a little like this?
Not too much. Good.
I'm telling you, these cops sure are a persistent bunch.
They're starting to get suspicious,
and I'm not sure how much longer I can delay things.
You're improving too fast.
Understand? - Yeah.
Good.
I told them that you'd still need a few weeks to recover.
After that, you'll be remanded into custody in Stockholm.
Okay.
While I operated on you, I couldn't help notice
that tattoo on your back. I didn't see the whole thing.
Mind if I ask you why you got it?
Why do you ask?
Just curious.
For private reasons. What's it to you?
Okay. Fine.
Oh, wow.
That must've hurt. And taken time.
Yeah, lots of time and suffering.
Excuse me.
Hi, Lisbeth.
This is your chance to tell your side of the story.
Your autobiography.
Annika doesn't know you have access to the Internet from your mobile,
so you should keep it that way.
Is it all right if I give her a copy of the DVD?
I need to get more information on Teleborian.
By the way, I'm staying at your place as we speak.
Mine is under surveillance
Murder suspect Lisbeth Salander will be transferred
from Sahlgrenska Hospital in Gothenburg
to a prison cell in Stockholm as soon as her condition permits.
This, according to police briefings.
The trial is due to begin in November of this year.
You're listening to ECHO 33 with Gunilla Hansen Bering.
Plague, you online?
You can show the DVD to Annika, but don't write about the rape.
No one needs to know.
I contacted Plague about Teleborian.
If he finds any dirt, he'll let you know.
I finally found our government connection.
- We're going to need more pictures. - Guess who paid a little visit
to the Prime Minister's Office in October 1976.
Anyone?
One Evert Gullberg. And he was with someone
named Hans von Rottinger, and this was three weeks
after Zalachenko defected to Sweden. - How did you find this out?
Every visitor to the Prime Minister's Office
has to sign his name on a ledger.
And there was only one notation on October 5, 1976.
Good work, Christer.
But we need more proof than that.
We can't just claim they were there to discuss Zalachenko.
- Did they write anything else? - No, just their names and the date.
But at least it's a start, right?
- What's our next move, then? - Wait. What if we attack this
from a different angle, like the undersecretaries?
Now, there were two of them in 1976.
I'm fairly certain of that. - What were their names?
Well, one of them is dead.
The other's an ambassador who's retired recently.
His name is Bengt Janeryd and he lives near Grisslehamn.
Maybe we...
should speak to him.
Great. I'll do it.
I'm more familiar with the material and I'm more of a threat to him.
My keys...
- You know why it should be me, right? - Yeah, sure, I get it, yeah.
His address?
Look...
You did a great job.
You must've realized it was Gullberg who shot Zalachenko.
Right?
The story was all over the news.
Yeah.
Then why didn't you call the police in?
- I thought that they would contact me. - Ah, well,
that sounds pretty convenient. - Listen,
I don't know anything about his daughter.
The way she was treated was absolutely disgraceful.
But neither the Prime Minister nor I had any knowledge of this.
Not at all.
No? You'll have to convince me and all of Millennium's readers of that.
You wouldn't dare drag my name into this thing!
It's all news to me.
I had nothing to do with anything you're describing.
This is the first time I'm hearing about any of this.
Okay.
You've only read a fraction of the report we intend to publish.
We have much more, believe me.
We have irrefutable proof for all of this.
Look, you should know that this isn't personal.
But your integrity is being called into question.
You can either hide behind protocol,
or tell me what you know. But I will go forward with this
Well, that sounds like blackmail.
Call it what you want. But if you tell me what you know,
I promise I won't publish your name.
The Prime Minister's contacts
were Evert Gullberg and Hans von Rottinger.
Did you ever meet them? - Yeah.
I also met another man. Clinton was his name.
Like the former president.
- Clinton? - Yeah.
How often did you see them?
Uh... about a dozen times, I suppose,
during my term as Undersecretary.
But all I ever heard was that Zalachenko was cooperative,
and that the information that he gave us was invaluable.
And who was their government contact after that?
I have no idea.
- You never briefed your successor? - No.
And you never wrote any reports?
No.
No, this was all very top secret.
Whenever I met with them, I wasn't even allowed to take notes.
So this could mean that...
not a single government after yours had any knowledge
about a Soviet spy defecting to Sweden?
Strange as it seems, that may well be the case.
- What's up, Plague? - Yeah, listen, I got a problem.
- What is it? - I've combed Teleborian's computer
and his mailbox, but I didn't come up with anything.
- Nothing at all? - Nothing about you or the trial.
The only possible interesting thing are two emails from this guy.
Jonas@hotmail.
"PE 1 will be ready on Friday a.m."
And it's dated September 20.
The second one's even shorter.
"PE 2 ready tomorrow."
PE 2 might be "psychiatric evaluation"?
Huh?
Yeah, could be.
- Any attachments? - No.
If he did send anything, he didn't use his work computer.
I'm guessing he's using a mobile Internet connection on his laptop.
It might be hard to crack.
But not impossible.
Nothing's impossible for me, Wasp.
I'll keep an eye on his email. - Do that, Plague.
Listen, don't call me.
Email me instead. - Okay. Ciao.
Bye.
Fuck.
Hey, Mikael Blomkvist.
I'm Monica Figuerola from the Department of Constitutional Defence.
- Oh, yeah? - My boss would very much like
to have a chat with you.
Don't worry, this is only going to be a friendly conversation.
Can I get my mail?
You may.
- I have to change my underwear, too. - No problem.
Torsten Edklinth, Constitutional Defence.
- Blomkvist. - Have a seat.
I'm sure you understand why we'd like to talk to you.
So let's just out to the chase.
We've found evidence
pertaining to the existence of a secret group
dealing with a conspiracy
in a rather sensitive area of the Swedish government.
Last night, I met with the Prime Minister,
who green-lighted an immediate
and thorough investigation into the matter.
And what does that mean?
A full-standing inquiry.
One that could very well prompt the state to press formal charges.
But before we get too far,
we have to identify all the players in the conspiracy.
I understand, but where exactly do I fit in'?
The story you're about to go public with?
If you do decide to go ahead with it,
it could jeopardize the whole operation.
When would it be all right to publish it?
Well, naturally, we have no say in the matter.
You are free to do as you like,
but we'd appreciate your cooperation.
This much I can say:
I'm pissed off at the Swedish government and the SAPO
and all the other sons of bitches who were responsible
for committing an innocent 12-year-old girl
into a mental institution
and taking away her legal rights.
I'm outraged as well about what happened
to Lisbeth Salander,
but the people responsible will be punished, rest assured.
Until then...
we'll be trying to...
identify the people responsible.
Well, that would be a start.
But I also want Lisbeth Salander acquitted.
And to have her rights as a citizen restored.
Unfortunately, the outcome of her case is...
not something we or the government could influence.
As long as I'm allowed full access
to all information,
I will tell you what I will publish and when.
Information for information.
There's a simple solution to this.
All we have to do is recruit our own people
to act as collaborators in the investigation.
Then we hire Mikael Blomkvist to be a consultant.
Evert Gullberg.
Anyone besides him?
Hans von Rottinger and Fredrik Clinton.
The first one's dead, the second's retired.
They were members of the group back in the '70s and '80s.
- The group? - Uh-huh.
We should come up with a name for this group, like...
"the Section." How's that? - The Section?
All right.
Where did you get your information?
A reliable source.
Is there any chance we could hang on to this place?
I'll make sure we can.
I was restrained, tied down to the bed with leather straps.
Peter Teleborian stood next to the bed.
He smelled like aftershave.
I hated the way he smelled.
I remember his breathing.
And the way his mouth moved as he bent over me.
But I couldn't hear his words.
I hated his mouth.
It was my 13th birthday.
Niedermann is your half-brother.
Come on.
There was a break-in next door.
But it's all right- the police are here now.
Can I get you something to help you sleep?
On several occasions, Lisbeth tried to tell Social Services
about how Zalachenko repeatedly beat her mother.
But no one took the allegations of the 10-year-old seriously.
In order to save her mother,
Lisbeth tried to kill her father
by dousing him with gasoline and throwing a match at him,
setting him on fire.
That's when society finally reacted.
But instead of punishing Alexander Zalachenko,
the authorities decided to punish Lisbeth instead.
At the age of 12, she was committed
to Sankt Stefans Mental Institute in Uppsala.
When she was released, she was declared legally incompetent
and was appointed a guardian.
- It's Plague. - I told you not to call!
Teleborian's meeting Jonas at Central Station at 4 p.m.
What time is it now?
Uh, 3.'30!
Oh, fuck!
Hello. Time for some blood tests.
I'll go to the bathroom first.
Central Station. 4 p.m.
This is Christer.
I'm at the gallery entrance.
Yes, I see you.
I'm right below you.
I see Teleborian, by the circle.
Christer, move in closer. I'll stay here.
Okay, got it.
Do you see him?
He's wearing a black coat.
Yeah, I see him- Looks like he's waiting for someone
Don't get too close. Just hang back and keep an eye on him.
I won't let him out of my sight.
Someone just approached him.
Could be this guy Jonas. Grey jacket, short hair?
I don't recognize him.
Wait. They're leaving. What do I do?
Follow them!
- They're going out onto Vasagatan. - Don't lose them.
- This is Monica. - It's Mikael.
Teleborian is having a meeting with a guy from the Section.
- What? Now? - Yes!
- Okay. Where are they? - On Vasagatan, near the station.
Get over here! - Okay, I'm coming.
Just a sec. Here we go.
There.
- Hi. - Hi.
Right there.
Mikael.
They're going...
You tail Teleborian,
we'll follow the other guy. - Yeah. Yeah, don't worry.
It's Monica. I need you to run a license plate for me.
No problem.
Guess who entered the same building four hours ago.
- Tell me. - Fredrik Clinton.
Teleborian's evaluation?
Yeah. First draft.
Needs work, but looks good.
Teleborian has a meeting in a restaurant
with Jonas Sandberg of the Section
and then goes straight away to the police station.
- Who did he see there? - Jonas's file is here.
I've got Jonas Sandberg.
Joined the counter-espionage division in 1998.
In 2001, he was assigned to an unspecified position abroad.
Officially, on paper, he was at our embassy in Madrid,
but no one's heard of him there.
The Section is located in this building,
a co-op with 23 apartments on six floors.
The proprietors are average middle-class.
Nothing out of the ordinary. They all checked out.
But then, there's the penthouse apartment.
We're talking huge. The owners are a company called Bellona.
They live abroad. - Good.
Any way we can set up a camera? - Sure. I'll get on that.
And while you're at it,
see if you can get us a decent teapot in here?
Never mind. I'll just bring one from home.
Subject: Autobiography
Hey.
You busy?
I'll come back later. - I'm almost done.
Send
I just wanted to tell you that...
the police are coming in the morning.
Okay.
I could... try and stall them for a few days more, but...
my colleagues would wonder why. - Let them come.
- Are you sure? - Yeah.
You don't seem too worried.
No.
I got a present for you.
Why'd you do that?
You're one of the most entertaining patients I've had in a long time,
that's all.
If you get bored sitting in your cell,
you can read up on the progress of DNA research.
The cellphone?
In the box of chocolates.
Teleborian will submit an evaluation.
In it, he'll suggest that for your own well-being,
you should be institutionalized right away.
That's what the prosecution wants too.
But what we need to do is to get an independent evaluation
by another psychiatrist to help with your defence.
Lisbeth, I believe it's the best thing.
Problem is, I don't talk to those doctors.
I told you that.
I hope they fit you.
Your attitude is hurting your chances and you've only got yourself to blame.
Think, Lisbeth.
Stand back.
Move!
- How do you feel? - Are you guilty?
Murder suspect Lisbeth Salander was transferred today
by the police from a hospital in Gothenburg
to a prison in Stockholm.
According to Prosecutor Richard Ekstrom,
her trial is said to begin at the Stockholm District Court
on November 6.
Lisbeth Salander has been charged
with the attempted murder of her father,
Alexander Zalachenko,
who was later brutally slain at the University Hospital in Gothenburg.
According to the police,
this trial will warrant maximum security for the accused,
who they fear may also be in danger of being killed.
Sonny!
They finally let you out? - Yeah, I got out this morning.
Magge, too?
No, I think he's there for the long run.
Good to see you.
The police raided the place after your arrest.
What?
But they didn't find anything, so you're okay.
Also, that blond giant was here looking for a place to stay
for a couple of days.
He's a friend of yours, right?
That freak is no friend of mine.
He's got the whole police force after him.
That must've been why he was looking for a hideout.
I told him to go over and see Victor.
Oh, Christ.
Sonny! Sonny!
Fucking hell.
Jenny.
Jenny?!
Jenny!
Jenny... you okay?
Jenny. It's me. It's Sonny.
Who did this? Tell me who.
Nied...
Niedermann.
Victor?
- No.
Niedermann.
That moron's gonna pay for this. He's a dead man.
He's a dead man, trust me!
Lisbeth Salander's autobiography?
What if they can prove any of this?
Impossible. They have no hard evidence.
Blomkvist is not an imbecile.
Neither is Erika Berger.
We must...
do whatever is necessary to make them abandon this.
Press the green one.
We can't waste time.
We'll have to really put the pressure on.
- Whose turn is it today? - It's Malin's turn, right?
- Okay. - Hello. Good morning.
Hi. So sushi for everyone?
Ah, no. No, no sushi, no fish.
Chicken teriyaki for me, please.
What would you like, Mikael?
Nothing. I don't have time to eat.
Okay. Erika? Chicken okay?
You slept with the light on. Are you afraid of the dark, Erika?
Could we swap batteries? Mine's not working.
I don't see where he gets the money.
- Mikael? - He has to have a lot of cash...
Look at this.
Another anonymous email. I think it's from the same person.
There have been other ones?
I got one last week.
Why didn't you say anything?
I thought it was a practical joke.
Okay, I'm going... Do you want a drink?
Don't mention anything right now.
We'll talk about it later on.
Okay if I take this? - Go on.
- What would you like to eat? - Nothing, thanks.
It's just that I'm... too busy.
Get up. Time for your interview.
Well, good to finally meet you.
Ekstrom for the prosecution.
Let's call this first meeting an informal discussion
rather than a judicial interrogation.
A means to shed a little light on this somewhat complex story.
I assume you have no objections.
The charges against you are very grave.
It's my job to establish if you're telling the truth.
You should know that we will take any extenuating circumstances
into account.
It's important that you're aware of this for your own sake.
This is a simple question to which you can respond with a yes or no.
When you went to Gosseberga to see your father,
had you already made up your mind to kill him?
Once again, I strongly urge counsel
to persuade Miss Salander to reply.
And once again, I'll repeat
that my client is free to make any decisions
she sees fit.
I suggest a discussion is in order.
If nothing else, for the well-being of Miss Salander.
I hope you can impress upon her the seriousness of the charges.
Well...
I was surprised at how small and delicate she was.
Like a child, know what I mean?
The next issue has to be ready in time for the trial on the 13th.
Right. But the printer needs it at least a week in advance.
How the hell are we supposed to do that?
We'll all have to pitch in.
You and Malin
will start writing about Teleborian and the history surrounding
Sankt Stefans Hospital. Thirty pages, all right?
- Sure. No problem. - Yeah.
Perfect.
We need to talk about something.
I've received...
two anonymous email threats this week.
We just wanted you to know.
Is it bad?
Uh, my God!
What kind of son of a bitch would write this?
Are the police aware of this?
- No, we... - No. We're not involving the police.
Wait a second!
This is really dangerous for Erika.
Look, I understand the risk,
but we can't possibly run Millennium with the police around
shuffling through things! - We just sit back and let this happen?!
Come on, Christer! I didn't say that. All I'm saying is,
I'm dealing with this my way! - What the hell does that mean?
Christer, fuck, come on! Having the police hanging around here,
getting in our way won't help! - Enough!
And you know it! - That's enough! Jesus!
Knock if off, both of you!
They might just be empty threats, all right?
Let's just drop the whole thing.
Now where were we? - Thirty pages.
Miss Giannini, how is Lisbeth Salander?
She's doing very well under the circumstances.
- Considering insanity as a defence? - I have no comment at this time.
- There's a lot of speculation... - Sorry, no comment!
Hey, you guys. - Hi.
- You watching TV? - Yeah.
- Sorry I'm late. - It's okay.
- Did you eat anything? - Yeah, we ate sausages.
Here you go. This should help.
It's Lisbeth's autobiography.
When did she write this? - Hi!
It doesn't matter.
Bjurman.
He was Lisbeth's guardian.
What is it?
It's a film.
It speaks for itself.
Lisbeth has given you permission to enter it as evidence, if you need it.
Stop!
No!
You want half?
- How is Lisbeth Salander's health? - Her condition has improved
enough for us to proceed and continue with discovery.
What about her mental health?
It's public knowledge that Lisbeth Salander has spent time
in a psychiatric institution. - Yes, where is the...
Are you implying, then, that Lisbeth Salander
is mentally unstable?
I'm not qualified to make that assessment,
but we will be conducting a psychiatric evaluation by an expert in the field.
- Who is qualified... - We've assigned
Dr. Peter Teleborian. He is the head of psychiatry
at Sankt Stefans Hospital in Uppsala.
Peter Teleborian.
As if that's a surprise.
We're confident he can best assess her present condition.
Will there be a postponement?
I'm not a liberty to discuss that.
The police investigation is proceeding as planned
and everything will become clear as the trial begins,
in November.
Scared, Erika? You should be.
Christer.
Is it from the same sender?
Yeah.
"Things will get worse for all of you."
All of you?!
What does he mean by that? - And is Mikael tracing the sender?
I think he put somebody on it, yeah.
Obviously, it hasn't helped. This is ridiculous, Erika.
We have to report this to the police.
We're sitting ducks! It's gonna get worse!
You can believe that! - I just want to talk to Mikael first.
- I'm calling the police. - No! Wait! I am the editor here.
It's my call. Don't forget that those threats
were addressed to me and I refuse to go behind Mikael's back.
This is nothing, I hope.
But we have to stick together, now more than ever.
I'm calling Mikael.
Hello, you have reached Mikael Blomkvist.
I'm not available to take your call right now,
but leave a message and I'll get back to you.
Mikael, where the hell are you?!
I just received another email and this time, it threatens all of us.
I'm really starting to get scared now.
Call me back as soon as you can. Thanks.
Hi, Lisbeth.
I'm really sorry you're in this predicament
and I want you to know that.
I'm going to do my best to help you as much as I can.
I really hope that...
we can work together, like we did in the past.
The two of us.
You remember
how well we got along way back then, don't you?
When you were little.
You were so...
headstrong.
A 12-year-old girl who was exceptionally hard to treat.
You bit my finger, you know.
Remember that?
You never understood that touch
was part of the treatment for patients like you.
To establish a certain closeness.
A sort of trust.
Particularly with children, it's a bond.
Don't you see...
that I am the one person best qualified here to help you?
You do see.
You're still here.
I've been trying like mad to call you. Why haven't you answered?
I was writing, so I turned it off.
It's the same sender.
Christer wanted to call the police right away.
I had to stop him.
We've got to do something about this, Mikael!
You and I run this magazine.
We have a responsibility to our staff. We can't do this to them;
That's who we should be thinking about.
I've been in contact with one of Lisbeth's hacker buddies, Plague.
Is that better than letting the police take care of it?
These guys can trace anyone or anything.
It might take some time, but he'll be faster than the police.
And we've worked so long... - How much time, huh?
Like a few hours?
Honestly, I have no idea.
If we're assuming that Millennium has new evidence to publish,
what could it be?
Worst-case scenario...
is they have a copy of Bjork's report.
They can't possibly know about our operations.
He's got a lot of credibility.
So does the magazine.
And we could possibly...
sink this guy's credibility.
Do your best.
Do whatever needs to be done.
We need to deal with this problem right away.
- Come on! - She called
a little after 3:15 this morning.
She had locked herself in a room upstairs.
We were there 20 minutes later.
Find anything?
The police took the evidence. We're installing the alarm
even as we speak.
Erika told me about the threats.
There's probably a connection with what happened last night.
I've already got someone tracing the emails.
I don't want to involve the police. - Sure you want to do that?
It's a question of your security as well, not just Erika's.
- What do you mean, mine? - You should know that...
the silent alarm went off at your place last night.
He stayed for 17 minutes. - What the...
We got there a few minutes later.
We found 180 grams of cocaine
stashed in one of your speakers
and 120,000 kronor in cash.
It was in your closet. - What the fuck?
They were setting you up, Mikael.
It's a way to get at your magazine.
Is it still there?
We left the money.
But we removed the cocaine.
I gotta talk to Erika.
She's probably trying to sleep.
Erika, it's me.
Hi.
Look, I know about what happened
and I'm so sorry. Can I come over?
No. I don't want you to come over here.
Look, we can talk about this later, okay?
But I want to see you now.
I just really need to get some sleep right now.
How about three?
At Samir's?
You free? You're gonna be there?
Yeah, yeah, 3:00. I'll be there.
- Great. Bye. - Bye.
I guess you want me to bring all this to the printers,
right? - Yeah.
You heard any news from Erika?
I spoke to her for a bit.
She didn't sleep well last night, so she won't be in today.
- How's she doing? - Better.
Look at the time. I gotta run. - Any more threatening emails?
You both have done an amazing job on this issue of Millennium.
Wanna go for a drink later?
Maybe. Right now, I've got an appointment at Samir's.
We don't know as yet how certain individuals fit into this scenario
and what roles they play in their association with the Section.
There are probably other key operatives we haven't identified yet.
But the key figures we have identified
will all be arrested in a joint operation simultaneously.
I'll inform you of when at a later date.
It is now 10 minutes to 3:00.
I think we should take a break and reconvene in an hour.
Anything new to report?
Clinton's had his dialysis. The others have been in and out.
Jonas Sandberg is the only one who met with someone.
At 10:30 this morning, he met with two men at a pizzeria
in Bredang.
Do we know who they are?
No. They're a couple of thugs from the Balkan region.
- That's the Nicolic: brothers. - What?
They're Tomi and Miro Nicolic.
Originally from Serbia, now in Huddinge.
These two are nasty pieces of work. They were snipers during the war.
Miro is actually wanted here for assault.
But he spends most of his time in Serbia.
Mikael...
Hi, Samir.
Sorry I'm late.
How you doing?
Not great.
- Why didn't you call me last night? - What could you have done?
I called Milton Security, I needed their help.
We can back down, Mikael.
I need Samir's Gryta on Soder It's urgent, please!
I've cancelled the issue. I called the printers.
Why the hell did you do that?
Think of Malou and Christer. We have their lives to think of as well.
You cancelled the whole thing?
Is it so hard? Is it too much to ask for'?
It's too dangerous. - My God, I can't believe this.
- Mikael! - What?
- Telephone. - No, Samir. Not right now.
They said it's an emergency.
I hear gunshots! Quick!
Mikael!
Police! Police!
Hands in the air!
Police!
Get off him! Hands in the air!!
Mikael!
You Okay?
Here. Clean yourself up a bit.
You're okay?
Get Blomkvist and Berger out of here now.
I'll explain later.
We'll go out through the kitchen. Let's go. Quick!
The two off-duty policemen were having lunch in the restaurant
when they recognized the two brothers, one of whom is wanted
on an assault charge.
Shots were fired from an automatic weapon at the restaurant
but fortunately, no one was hurt.
The two brothers are now facing charges
of attempted murder.
I can't believe this.
Son of a bitch!
I called Christer and Malou.
They shouldn't be in the office now.
We could've died today, Mikael.
Both of us.
No job is worth...
losing your life over.
We don't know if those two men intended to kill just you, Mikael,
or Erika or both of you.
But it looks like they expected the police to find the cocaine
and the money at your place, then the police would think
that the shooting was some kind of underworld settling of accounts
- What about your co-workers? - We told them...
Don't worry, we closed the office until the trial is over.
We're gonna lay low for a while.
We'll just postpone the next issue until later.
I see.
Well, then. We'll make sure you both have police protection
day and night. - No, thanks. Not for me.
We'll have to see how it goes.
- Have you talked to her at all? - Yeah.
- Mikael, what can you tell us'? - Nothing.
First choice would be that they institutionalize Lisbeth Salander.
The second is that she's in prison for life.
Isn't it usually the other way around?
Usually, but here we have, in this case...
we have a psychiatric evaluation that is so strong
that I really don't think we have any other alternative.
Ah... great. Thank you.
The long-awaited trial of Lisbeth Salander
opens at the courthouse here in Stockholm today.
In just about an hour, the judge will announce
the start of the trial and the battle will begin.
The trial's expected to last about three days.
This case has generated a great deal of interest
in both the public and the media.
The police and the prosecution have provided some information,
but the defence has held back and not revealed
any part of their strategy. From Stockholm, this is...
Ah, Christ...
Is it time? - Yeah.
- I haven't so much as slept a wink. - You'll do just fine.
We'll see.
Go get 'em!
Bye.
Thanks. Here goes nothing.
Bye!
Easy...
No photographs in the courtroom, please.
- All right, move back, please. - Last one!
We regret to say
that Lisbeth Salander has refused to utter a single word
during the seven interviews we've had with her.
However, this has not prompted us to reconsider the charges at this time.
Thank you.
I now turn the floor over to the defence.
Thank you.
The defence rejects these accusations and we will prove that
the prosecution's version of the events
is defamous and incorrect.
We will also prove my client's legal rights were severely compromised.
My client is innocent of all charges and she deserves
to be declared legally competent immediately,
and to leave this court a free woman.
Thank you.
Does the prosecution have anything to add?
Yes.
I would ask that this case be tried behind closed doors
for the following reasons.
Firstly, we believe it would be in the best interest
of a psychologically fragile individual,
as well as the confidential nature of certain information,
which, if leaked, could compromise national security.
- We'll be in touch. - All right.
This is excellent. Good work.
Now, then, what I'd like to do today is try to clear up
several details regarding your trip
to Gosseberga, in which you attempted to kill your father,
Alexander Zalachenko.
Are we to understand by your silence that you continue to refuse
to answer questions? - I'm willing to answer questions.
All right. Why don't we start
with that one, then? - I haven't heard a question yet.
I asked you, when you went to Gosseberga,
did you mean to kill your father? - No.
You said you wanted to clear up a few details
about my trip to Gosseberga to kill my father, Alexander Zalachenko.
That wasn't a question, it was an example
of your preconceived opinion. - Those are semantics.
Just answer my question. - No.
No, what?
That was the answer to your question.
You struck your father in the head with an ace.
Is that correct? - Yes.
He sustained critical injuries,
which we must assume could only have been
attempted murder.
Would you not agree?
Which of your two statements are you asking me
to agree upon?
Would taking an ace to your father's head
not be considered an attempt to kill him?
It was not attempted murder.
It was self-defence.
Thanks.
If there's anything you need, just let me know.
How about some cigarettes?
Dream on.
Thank you.
Hey.
Hi.
How are you coping with the police?
Oh, not too bad.
At least as long as they stay outside.
Erika...
I had to do it.
Either you're an egomaniac,
or an idiot.
I won't be coming to the office this week.
- Okay. - Or next week.
I need to be sure I'm making the best decision possible.
Fine.
Is that about us, or Millennium?
Both, I think.
I don't know.
I'll let you know.
Be careful.
Salander, it's time.
Lisbeth Salander's so-called autobiography
lacks all credibility.
It includes statements and allegations about people
that are utterly and completely outlandish.
It can only be characterized as the work
of a paranoid schizophrenic,
which is Lisbeth Salander's condition.
Can you give us an example?
Well, the most blatant example is...
her description of rape and...
the accusation she makes against her legal guardian,
Nils Bjurman, of abusing her.
A crime she claims...
was committed against her
repeatedly by him.
Such detailed accounts are a classic example
of the kind of fantasies that are born in the mind of a very sick child.
But today, Lisbeth Salander is not a child.
She's a young woman. - Yes.
But it still remains to be seen
at what exact psychological maturity she's at.
But in physical years, you're quite right.
She is indeed a grown woman.
Thank you.
In the year 1993, Lisbeth Salander was sent to the mental institution
Sankt Stefans in Uppsala.
She was in your care during her stay there.
Is that correct?
Yes, that's right.
How many days did she spend in restraints?
By that, I mean strapped down to her bed.
I can't possibly remember the exact number,
but it couldn't have been many.
Could you give us a ballpark figure?
I'd say, maybe...
30 times. But I don't see how this pertains to anything.
Lisbeth Salander said that she was restrained for 390 days.
She's in a fantasy world. It was nowhere near that long.
So she wasn't restrained to her bed, then, for more than a year?
- No. - Out of the two she spent there.
Absolutely not.
Dr. Teleborian, the defence has tried repeatedly
to gain access to Lisbeth Salander's records
during the time in which she was interned at Sankt Stefans.
But we've been continually refused.
Can you explain why? - Yes.
It's because it's a confidential file.
Medical records of this kind usually are.
It's the law. Any counsellor worth their salt knows that.
I obtained a copy
of Lisbeth Salander's records
for the years
1993 and 1994.
And it says here
that you had restrained Lisbeth Salander for a total of 390 days continuously.
Counsellor Giannini, I must ask you:
How is this information relevant to the case?
It is to prove that Peter Teleborian is not telling the whole truth
about my client. - Counsellor Giannini,
records from 1993 and '94
will not be allowed to be used as a means
of questioning
the credibility of Peter Teleborian today.
Understood.
I looked like an idiot.
When the prosecution presents all of Teleborian's evaluations,
I'm gonna have nothing to respond with.
Not a damn thing.
They're probably going to lock her away and I won't be able to do anything!
Who are you?!
Plague!
What is it?
Peter Teleborian's laptop.
It's on that USB key.
I'm sorry. Come on in.
What's on it?
Everything you need.
Plus there's nasty shit.
Annika, I've got everything you need.
And all the proof necessary to tie in the Section.
Several different versions of the evaluation,
along with phony dates, email correspondence...
The works. Here.
Nothing like waiting till the last minute.
Here.
This is crazy, I'm never gonna get through all this.
Just skim it. Focus on the important dates,
and the witnesses will verify them. Here are the copies.
Okay, perfect. Wish me luck.
Thanks. See you later.
Bye!
You were 12 when you were sent to Sankt Stefans
for torching your father. Is that right?
Yes.
Why did you do it?
Because he'd been abusing my mother for years.
On June 12, 1993,
he beat her up so badly, she was handicapped for life,
with permanent brain damage.
Did you talk to anyone about it?
Yes.
I spoke to the police department,
social services, doctors, a priest,
and that pig over there.
When I got to Sankt Stefans, I tried to tell him what happened to me.
But he said I was delusional,
and restrained me with a belt to punish me.
That is utter nonsense!
This is yet another example of how reality-challenged
your client really is.
It's very sad. - You fucking lying pig!
Lisbeth Salander,
that language will not be tolerated in this court.
Is that clear?
Your Honour, I would like to move on to the sexual abuse
my client endured at the hands of her guardian Nils Bjurman.
At this point, Your Honour, the prosecution must object.
That has absolutely no bearing on this case,
nor is the late Nils Bjurman on trial.
It does have bearing. It is an example of the abuse
our justice system has inflicted on Lisbeth Salander.
As for Fredrik Clinton,
he will be undergoing dialysis treatment at the Karolinska Institute.
You've all got...
a copy of the report with the pertinent information.

If you have any questions or you're not clear about something,
ask your task-force leader.
Good luck to you.
You have claimed that your guardian, Nils Bjurman,
molested you. Is that correct? - Yeah.
- When did this supposedly happen? - It did happen.
It was on Tuesday, February 18, 2008,
and Friday, March 7, 2008.
As indicated in my biography.
- Did you file a complaint against him? - No.
- Why didn't you? - Because they never listened
to what I said before; Why would they now?
Did you consult anybody
in the medical profession about your alleged injuries?
No.
Perhaps you told someone
about this alleged act? - No.
From what I gather,
Nils Bjurman never had a criminal record.
In fact, he never had any run-ins with the police at all.
It is my duty to remind the court that the accused,
Lisbeth Salander,
has been diagnosed as suffering from paranoid schizophrenia.
She spent years in a psychiatric institution and she had been
deemed legally incompetent
since becoming an adult.
No matter how tragic this all appears,
the court must remember Miss Salander's mental state.
Lisbeth Salander lives in a warped, distorted world.
Basically... she's mad.
This is very clear after reading the disturbing contents
of her autobiography.
It clearly illustrates how out of touch with reality
she really is. And it's with that in mind...
that we must seriously question the validity
of these molestation accusations.
Are you finished, Counsellor?
- I am. - Thank you.
Then the defence may now proceed with their evidence.
Thank you.
Peter Teleborian claims
that Lisbeth Salander is lying
about being sexually molested
by her guardian, Nils Bjurman.
The prosecution apparently also shares this view.
I would now like to present video documentation
that proves Lisbeth is not lying and the allegations are sound.
Lisbeth, could you please tell us when this was filmed?
It was March 7, 2008. I used a hidden camera.
If you're nice,
I'll be gentle. You gotta be nice.
Oh, God...
I'm gonna teach you rule number one.
Don't resist.
Stop the film!
We've seen enough.
Why would you want to record that?
Nils Bjurman had molested me before.
He made me perform oral sex.
Whenever I needed to withdraw money, he demanded sex in exchange.
This was the only way I could get something on him.
The only way I could get him to stop.
We'll take a short recess.
We'll meet again in one hour.
- So sorry I'm late. - It's okay.
Thank you.
I'm sorry, but are you presenting new documents in this case?
No, you have these already,
but they have been revised with some important additions.
If you would permit me...
You may have the floor, Counsellor.
Thank you.
Now...
I don't think anybody can deny the fact
that Lisbeth Salander was sexually violated a number of times
by her guardian Nils Bjurman.
A person who was supposed to be her confidant.
This just goes to show the degree of abuse
this woman has been subjected to.
She has suffered both physical and mental abuse.
And the man most responsible for this deplorable abuse is...
Dr. Peter Teleborian.
In 1993, along with a certain Gunnar Bjork,
a member of a secular illegal group of secret police,
he compiled a psychological evaluation
intending to keep a...
dangerous witness from talking,
Lisbeth Salander.
By institutionalizing her in a psych... - Enough of this!
Nobody did anything of the kind! You have it all wrong!
Excuse me, but I have the floor, Doctor.
This event occurred after Lisbeth had splashed gasoline
on her father, Alexander Zalachenko,
in a desperate attempt to save her mother
from his abuse.
But the people who protected Alexander Zalachenko
hushed that up.
And made sure it was kept top secret.
Then, with Peter Teleborian's help,
they committed Lisbeth
to the psych ward at Sankt Stefans Hospital in Uppsala.
This is an outrage, Your Honour! I never...
I did everything I could to help Lisbeth Salander! Believe me, I did!
She tried to murder... - Yesterday,
Peter Teleborian presented his new evaluation of Lisbeth Salander.
Once again, the objective was...
to make you believe that Miss Salander was crazy
and have her institutionalized again.
But just as in 1993, these documents have been falsified
What kind of foolish accusations...
Doctor, please let the defence counsellor finish her arguments.
Thank you.
The evaluation is purported to be based on observations done on my client.
These observations were allegedly made before her transfer to prison,
on the 6th of October,
and were concluded on the 5th of November.
Is that correct, Dr. Teleborian?
I'd like to call two witnesses.
Stay where you are!
- Police! Drop your gun! - Police!
Now,
have you seen this document?
Yes.
It's a psychiatric evaluation of Lisbeth Salander,
written by Peter Teleborian.
There are in fact three versions.
The first version is dated the 20th of September,
and the second, the 1st of October,
and this, the third version...
is dated the 6th of October.
You're the one who handed these documents to me?
I have noticed that the version of the evaluation
dated the 1st of October is identical
to the one that Dr. Peter Teleborian presented yesterday in this court.
Dated the 5th of November.
An important detail, I think.
My conclusion is that Peter Teleborian
compiled his evaluation before he saw Lisbeth Salander.
A fact that questions his credibility.
Commissioner Edklinth,
did you receive these psychiatric evaluations of Lisbeth Salander
from Mikael Blomkvist?
I did.
And what conclusions did you draw after studying
these evaluations? - That they were falsified.
It seemed they had been created
long before Peter Teleborian
had the opportunity to see Lisbeth Salander
at the prison in Stockholm.
I would also like to add that they had been edited and revised
by a Jonas Sandberg.
That's a lie.
- Is it a lie? - No, not at all.
We have the proof.
The documents are dated and the email correspondence
between Peter Teleborian and Jonas Sandberg
confirm their collaboration.
Sandberg belongs to a rogue security group,
an illegal operation established in the mid-1970s
to protect Alexander Zalachenko.
The same group
that is responsible for having Miss Salander committed
to Sankt Stefans in 1993.
Jonas Sandberg is one of 10 individuals
being arrested today for crimes against this nation.
We suspect him of having murdered Gunnar Bjork,
and he's possibly connected to another murder.
We have a great deal of evidence and several confessions.
Well, Mr. Teleborian, what have you got to say?
There are two police officers waiting just outside the courtroom door.
They're here to take Peter Teleborian in for questioning.
- Why is that? - He's under arrest.
On suspected crimes against the child-pornography act.
More specifically, for the possession
of nearly 8,000 pornographic pictures and films of children.
They're on his laptop.
We'll be taking this.
Please, come with us.
Take your seats.
The court requires more time to process the new information
the defence has brought to the table.
But we see absolutely no reason
to detain Lisbeth Salander one minute longer.
You're free to go, pending sentencing.
Good...
You're sure you don't wanna come to Millennium?
Yeah.
Just drop me off on Folkungagatan.
You know it's Mikael who got you out, right?
Yeah, but...
Yeah.
I need to be able to reach you. There's still legal matters to iron out.
Send me an email.
You bet.
See ya.
- What do you think of the verdict? - That justice finally prevailed.
Time to party?
Yes, to party.
What can you tell us about the future for Millennium?
- Come on, everyone! The news is on! - Excuse me.
The group's headquarters were in this co-op building,
here in Stockholm. The group is being held
responsible for all violations against Lisbeth Salander.
The roots of the Section can be traced back to the 1960s.
The original purpose
was to guard the interest of our nation.
Officially, they did not exist.
Their headquarters were in a residential building,
and not even the chief of the national police knew
of their existence or any of their operations.
In the mid-1970s, a spy,
a Russian defector, was recruited and took refuge in Sweden.
Lisbeth's been released from custody. I guess you know.
She'll probably be acquitted or be sentenced to probation.
Here.
What bullshit is this?
It belonged to Zalachenko.
I don't want any of his shit.
Okay...
But you're legally competent now,
and I need your signature to prove I showed you the papers.
There's a little over 300,000 kronor in bonds, and a farm in Gosseberga,
worth about 1.5 million.
I don't want any of it.
And then...
he owned an abandoned brickyard out by Norrtalje
The land alone is worth 150,000.
Okay.
Sell it all and give the money to charity.
I think you should read it first.
Then I'll sell it for you.
Mikael says hi.
- Pizza Bussola! - That's me!
There you go.
- Thanks. Bye. - Enjoy.
What the fuck is this?
Oh, shit!
You deserve to die, you fucking monster.
Directory assistance can I help you?
Yes, I'd like the number of the motorcycle club in Svavelsjo
Who's calling?
It doesn't matter.
Are you interested in the whereabouts of Ronald Niedermann?
Okay, I'm listening.
Police emergency.
Police murderer Ronald Niedermann is holed up
at an abandoned brickyard near Norrtalje.
I think a biker gang is with him.
They're heavily armed.
You busy?
I was in the bath.
Yes...
Did you hear the latest?
No.
Ronald Niedermann's dead.
Apparently he was killed by a motorcycle gang.
Uh, yeah?
Apparently the police received an anonymous tip
and went over and arrested the lot of them.
Thanks a lot.
You're welcome.
Take care.
See ya.
- See you soon. - Absolutely.
