You came here to kill me.

extremely dangerous. Exercise caution.

STIEG LARSSON'S THE GIRL
WHO KICKED THE HORNET'S NEST

Her name is Lisbeth Salander.

She's 27 years old.

This issue of Millennium
describes how several authorities

conspired against Lisbeth Salander

to protect a pathological killer...

...Alexander Zalachenko,
a former Soviet agent.

His many crimes in Sweden

include gunrunning, drugs,
trafficking, and assault.

Alexander Zalachenko
is Lisbeth Salander's father.

This issue is dedicated to providing
justice for Lisbeth Salander.

Hello.
Can you open your eyes?

My name is Anders Jonasson.
I'm your doctor.

This is the Sahlgrenska
University Hospital in Gothenburg.

Let's see if you can count to ten.

One, two, three, four.

Good.

My article will span
some 40 or 50 pages.

I'd like to include portions
of Björck's report in the fax.

More impact that way.

- What about pictures?
- We don't have much yet.

We can dig up photos of Björck,
Teleborian, hopefully Zalachenko.

Shots of St. Stefan's would be good.

And some of Lisbeth.

Sounds like at least 75 pages.

It might be more.
It's good.

Can we get some more names?

No. Let's focus on what we've got

and just hope this issue
will flush out some more bad guys,

that one thing leads to another,
et cetera.

Oh, God...

Let's get to work.

Here's the latest update
on the police killing near Gosseberga.

An extensive manhunt is on.

The suspect is a 35-year-old
German national, Ronald Niedermann.

He is armed and extremely dangerous.

Good evening.
I'm here to see Fredrik Clinton.

- And who are you?
- Evert Gullberg. We worked together.

My father's resting, but come on in.

Zalachenko will do what benefits
himself the most, no matter what.

That's my opinion, too,

but we can't risk him
opening his mouth.

It's imperative
that he doesn't say a word.

We agree, as usual.

But you see what state I'm in.

Fredrik, we need you one last time.

I can't do it.

I spend five hours

every other day in dialysis.

I'm going to die soon.

I won't get a new kidney in time.

That's just the way it is, my friend.

Thank you, dear.

Fresh from the oven.

I didn't know you had a daughter.

No.

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

Even though we've worked together...

...for more than 35 years.

What about Lisbeth Salander?

Now that charges have been brought
against her, what should we do?

Hello, Lisbeth.

How are you doing?

Do you remember me?
I'm Dr. Anders Jonasson.

It's only natural that you're tired.

You've had a gunshot wound
to the head.

We were able to remove the bullet.

As far as we can tell,
no vital functions were affected.

You were shot in the right shoulder
and the left hip as well,

but you should heal up nicely.

Brain damage?

Brain damage may take time
to manifest itself,

but I wouldn't worry.

The police have been here,

but due to your condition,
I've sent them away.

I'm sure they'll be back,
but for now I won't let them in.

Is Zalachenko alive?

He's all patched up,
and his condition is stable,

but he's taken quite a beating.

Shit.

I was wondering when you'd show up.

We've been discussing how to help you.

In order to set up a strategy,
we need to hear your version as well.

What would this strategy consist of?

We'll work out the details together.

But it will be difficult
to avoid a brief prison sentence.

Oh, dear.
Is that so?

We'll provide an attorney
and everything you need.

But you need to cooperate
and give us certain assurances.

And Niedermann?
Niedermann will be the scapegoat?

He shot Lisbeth.

There are charges against you
that are difficult to overlook.

That's your problem.
That's your problem.

And if you don't take care of it,
I will contact the media.

I've got names, dates,
events, everything.

I can blow you out of the water.

I'm a survivor,
as you should know by now.

- Zalachenko, you don't understand.
- No, you don't!

This conversation is over.

One last thing...

...about Lisbeth.

What about her?

She has to go.
Is that understood?

Good.

Hi. Sorry I'm late.

My sister's here now.
Catch you later.

- Isn't anyone home?
- No.

- Listen, Micke.
- Yes.

She tried to kill her father
with an ax.

And that's attempted murder.

Or self-defense.

But the charges
are attempted murder, right?

That means she needs
a criminal lawyer.

You know the law
on domestic issues.

Lisbeth and her mother
were abused

by Zalachenko and the authorities
long before the most recent events.

And I have documents to prove it.

Copies of the report

compiled by Gunnar Björck
of the Security Service.

Proof that a 12-year-old

was illegally committed
to a mental institution

and declared legally incompetent.

Was it confidential material?

Say you got it from a journalist

who is unwilling
to reveal his sources.

Okay.

You're prepared to go
to great lengths

for Lisbeth's sake, aren't you?

Yes.

Dear Prime Minister...

Warn you of DANGER...

MURDER...

THE KING OF SWEDEN

THE ARCHBISHOP OF SWEDEN

THE PRIME MINISTER

Train arriving from Stockholm

The Stockholm-Gothenburg Express

is now arriving at platform 6.

I don't need a lawyer.

You're charged with attempted
murder of your father.

Micke thinks that they'll try
to have you committed again,

so you do need a lawyer.

But you can choose someone else.

Unless you have the Court
appoint a Civil Counsel.

Shall I interpret your silence
as a sign for me to leave?

It's your call.

You don't happen
to have a cigarette, do you?

- May I have a nicotine patch?
- Sure, I'll be right back.

Hello. We need a crash cart
over in room 3.

Micke gave me this copy.

I think you know what it is.

We're going to have to talk,
you and I.

And I want you to be totally frank.

Micke's told me a lot,

but he says there are things
you better tell me yourself.

I guess you know what he means.

Something about computers and a DVD.

After all we've done for you
all these years,

you threaten us.

That's offensive.

I'm a survivor.
I do what I have to do to survive.

No, you're rotten and evil.

You have no sense of honor,
no morals.

I came here to give you our answer.

We will not bail you out this time.

You don't have a choice.
Don't you understand that?

Life has taught me
that there's always a choice.

Idiots!

Idiots!
I will destroy you!

You aren't going to do anything.

No! Stay put. Sorry.

I'll go and have a look.

Everybody clear out!

He's got a gun!

Hurry up!

Hold it.
There you go.

Lean on me!

Hold on tight!

He kept trying to get in.

It was so unreal...
an old man with a gun!

I heard when he shot himself.

Did he really try to get Lisbeth?

Yes! It was terrifying!
I've never been so scared in my life!

Want me to come down there?

No, I'm staying
with a friend tonight...

Vera Åkerlund,
an old friend from school.

- The police press briefing...
- I've got to go, Annika.

- Take care.
- Yes. Let's talk later.

- Yes. Bye.
- Bye.

You'd think the police
would be on guard.

Things like this just don't happen,
not around here.

I mean, walking in here

and gunning down
one of the patients like that.

Oh, Fredrik!
What brings you?

Come on in.

We're trying to get ahold
of that information.

When? Then find out.

What the hell?

Have you heard?

Zalachenko's been shot.

Apparently, it was Gullberg.

I'll call you back.

It's a madhouse. We haven't
been able to confirm anything.

I can confirm it.

Evert shot him according to plan.

Would you like some coffee?

No, thank you.
Not now.

What the hell
are you talking about?

What plan?

Gullberg only had a few months
left to live. Liver cancer.

He elected to undertake
one last mission for us.

He went out in a blaze of glory.

So you knew he was
going to kill Zalachenko?

Of course.

His mission was
to silence Zalachenko

and Salander as well.

That was the plan.

Are you as screwy as Gullberg,
or what?

Choose your words carefully,
Hallberg.

It was the right decision.

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

You and Gullberg don't have authority
to make those decisions!

No matter what happens, Zalachenko's
death will not be connected to us.

Nor will Evert Gullberg's.

Our duty is to make the decisions

no one else has the guts to make,

politicians in particular.
It's as simple as that.

There's more.

I am returning to active duty.

I will be in charge of operations

until this crisis is over.

The man who fired those fatal shots
and later took his own life

has been identified.

He was a 78-year-old senior citizen,

a former accountant and tax lawyer.

What about a name?

That is still classified information.

What was his motive?
What ties did he have with Salander?

No ties exist whatsoever.

This appears to be the work
of a lone perpetrator

acting on his own
paranoid delusions.

He has sent letters to politicians
and media representatives

raving about how Zalachenko
deserves to die.

According to Security Services,
all signs point to insanity.

That was the police press briefing.

Our late-night news update

will include more
on the Sahlgrenska shooting.

No!

- Chow time!
- Salisbury steak.

Here you go.

Lisbeth?

- Do you need some help?
- No, thanks.

Now eat up.

I have a suggestion.

I'm not going home.
I'm staying at a hotel tonight.

Would you like
to spend the night with me?

I'm beat. I camped out
at the office last night.

Then we'll just sleep.

That's the fourth time
I've seen that car there.

- Really?
- Yes.

And how are you going to fix this?

We couldn't cover all the bases.

Hospital security is tighter.

Like that's a surprise!

How the hell are you going
to avoid a trial now?

I don't think we can.

Proceedings behind closed doors,
and get her committed for life.

She has to be convicted
of shooting Zalachenko

and found criminally insane.

They didn't request that she be
treated here at St. Stefan's?

If nothing else, for her own sake.

Who is our prosecutor?

Ekström.

Not exactly a star,
but he's ambitious.

We can handle him.

What about Björck's report?

The copies are being collected.

And you can be trusted to do that?

You worry too much.

What about that blond goon
who worked for Zalachenko?

Ronald Niedermann.

He's on the run.

But it's only a matter of time.

He's Lisbeth Salander's half brother.

Zalachenko had a fling
with a woman in Hamburg.

It's like a classic Greek tragedy.

Zalachenko tries
to shoot his daughter,

assisted by her brother.

Then she rises from the grave
to plant an ax in her father's skull.

Right. Well, I guess
you could see it like that.

We'll be in touch.

I'll talk to you later. Bye.

Hey! Give me my bag!

Give it back!

Shit!

This guy drove by on a moped
and snatched my bag!

- What? Are you all right?
- Christ.

- Are you okay?
- Yeah.

But the report was in my bag!

That's all right.
I've got another copy at home.

I'll get back to you, Annika.

Milton Security, Armanskij.

It's Mikael Blomkvist.
I think I need your help.

What's wrong?

Someone broke in to my apartment.

We can help you.

I'll call you from the office.

Sure. Call my cell phone.

The case against Salander
is straightforward...

Yes.

...even though Zalachenko
has died since then.

If the truth about Zalachenko
got out,

it would complicate things.

It's about saving lives, Sweden's
relations to a foreign power,

and secrets of state.

I read the report mainly as a brief.

It's not relevant in the case
against Lisbeth Salander.

And besides, the report
has been officially withdrawn.

Certain aspects are still useful,

particularly since Salander
tried to kill her father once before.

I could get you access
to that portion.

That might be useful.

Then I'll make sure you get it.

Who is your superior?

My instructions come
from the highest authority.

You are not allowed to discuss
this matter with anyone else but me.

You can count on my discretion.

- Anders Jonasson?
- Yes.

I'm Peter Teleborian.

I'm Chief Psychiatrist
at St. Stefan's in Uppsala.

I would like to discuss
one of your patients, in private.

Lisbeth Salander.

Really?

Yes. Okay.

I've taken care of her
since she was 12.

I have great insight
into her mental status.

Which is?

Lisbeth is severely disturbed.

She has delusions and displays
paranoid and schizophrenic traits.

And like all sociopaths,
she is incapable of empathy.

Simply put.

Well, she does seem rather guarded,
but I wouldn't say she's a sociopath.

She's highly manipulative.
It's part of the clinical picture.

She shows you what she believes
you want to see.

As you can tell, I'm concerned
about her mental health.

I understand.

I need to see her and evaluate her
for the upcoming trial.

Sorry, I can't help you there.

I'm Lisbeth's medical doctor.

In my opinion,
she isn't strong enough

to see anyone besides her lawyer.

I have a court order
that says I can see her.

I had hoped to skip the formalities,
considering we're fellow doctors.

And as a doctor, you ought to know
my word is law here,

regardless of any court order.

So I must ask you to be patient
and respect my judgment.

Well, then...

I was hoping for a more...
professional reception.

How could the government
be in the dark?

They must have known
that a Russian spy had defected.

- Otherwise, it's absurd.
- Yes, absolutely.

We had a non-Socialist government
back in 1976

when Zalachenko defected.

30 years, and nothing's leaked out?

If politicians know,
it wouldn't be a secret,

considering all the memoirs.

The same goes
for the Security Service.

Someone would talk sooner or later.

It has to be a small, autonomous,
and clandestine group...

...with lots of resources.

If there has been no leak
for 30 years about this group,

where do we start?

Our best bet is Evert Gullberg.

If we find something on him,
it might lead somewhere,

but it's tough.

We need something fast
so it won't affect Millennium.

Our next issue has to be out
in time for the trial.

Look here, please.

How am I doing?

You're getting better.

I'll get a physiotherapist
to help you with the rehab process.

- I don't need any help.
- Yes, you do.

Leave that scab alone.

And you need to eat more.

Then do something
about the food here.

- The food?
- Serve pizza or something.

I don't think pizza has ever been
on the menu here.

Okay, then.

A Dr. Peter Teleborian was here
asking to see you.

You know each other, he said.

At any rate,
I sent him away empty-handed.

Well, then...

Apparently, this is for you.

Hello. We met at the hospital,

the night Lisbeth Salander
was admitted.

I remember.

I need to talk to you.

If you're after information
about Lisbeth Salander, forget it.

No, I want to give you
information about Lisbeth.

Important information.

A conspiracy like that, it's...

I'm sorry, but it sounds
pretty incredible.

I know, but I can assure you
that all of it is true.

There's proof, and I'm going
to publish the whole story.

I'm building a case for Lisbeth, too.
That's why I'm here.

You see, I'm going to ask you
for a favor.

What is it?

Lisbeth has secrets...

...private matters,
that would benefit her in court.

And she needs this
to access evidence.

The prosecution has restricted...

I know, that's why I turned to you.

- Hi.
- Hi.

- How are you doing?
- Fine.

- All right if I have a look?
- Yes.

- Are you in pain?
- No.

What about the headache?

It's okay.
Less and less every day.

Another policeman called,
said his name was Hans Faste.

He's heading the investigation,
and he's anxious to interview you.

Can you lean your head back a bit?

Not too far.

They are annoyingly persistent.

I can't keep them at bay much longer.
You're getting too well for that.

- Do you understand?
- Yes.

I told them you need
a few more weeks to recover.

After that, you will be remanded
into custody in Stockholm.

Okay.

Excuse me. That tattoo
on your back seems very big.

Why did you get it?

Why do you ask?

Out of curiosity.

For personal reasons.
I don't want to talk about it.

Okay. I'm sorry.

Wow.

That must have been painful,
and taken hours, too.

Yeah, it was both painful
and took hours.

Excuse me.

Hello, Lisbeth.

This is your chance
to tell your story,

your autobiography.

Annika doesn't know
you have access to your MID.

Keep it that way.

May I give her the DVD?

And we need to know more
about Teleborian.

By the way, I'm staying
at your place right now.

My own is being watched.

Murder suspect Lisbeth Salander

will be transferred
from Sahlgrenska Hospital

to a cell in Stockholm
as soon as her health permits,

according to the police.

The trial is scheduled
to open in November.

That's all for now.

Plague, are you there?

Let Annika have the DVD,
but do not write about the rape.

I'll do that myself.
That's enough.

Have contacted Plague
regarding Teleborian.

He will contact you
if he finds anything.

I've found our government connection.

Guess who went
to the prime minister's offices

on October 5, 1976.

No takers?

Evert Gullberg and someone
named Hans von Rottinger.

They were there three weeks
after Zalachenko's defection.

How did you find that out?

Every visit is registered.

And there was only one visit
on October 5, 1976.

Well done, Christer.

But we need proof.

We can't just claim they went there
to discuss Zalachenko.

Did you find any notes?

No, just their names and the date.

What's our next move?

We need to target
the undersecretaries.

There were two
who worked there in '76.

- They might know something.
- Any names?

Yes. One is deceased,

and the other
is a retired ambassador,

Bengt Janeryd,
who lives near Grisslehamn.

We should talk to him.

Good. I'll do it.

I'm more familiar with the material,
and I'm more of a threat to him.

- That's all I'm saying.
- I hear you.

What's his address?

Listen... you did a great job.

You must have realized
that Gullberg shot Zalachenko, right?

- I guess you read the news.
- Yes.

Why didn't you call the police?

I expected them to contact me.

How convenient.

I didn't know about his daughter.

She was treated disgracefully.

The Prime Minister had
no knowledge of this matter,

and neither did I.

You'll have to convince me
and the readers of Millennium.

You simply cannot name me
in this context!

Do not mention me.

I have not been involved
in any of this.

What I read here is all news to me.

You've only read a fraction
of the material we intend to publish.

We have much more.

We have proof for everything.

This is not personal, but you do have
professional accountability.

So either you tell me what you know
or hide behind protocol.

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

If you tell me what you know,
I promise I won't publish your name.

The Prime Minister's contacts
were Gullberg and von Rottinger.

- Were you also a contact?
- Yes.

And another man. His name
was Clinton, like the president.

- Clinton?
- Yes.

How often did you meet?

About ten times during my term
as undersecretary.

But all I ever heard was
that Zalachenko was cooperative,

and that his information
was invaluable.

Who did they contact
after the change of government?

I have no idea.

- There was no hand-over?
- No.

And you never wrote any reports?

No.

No, it was all very secret.

I wasn't even allowed to take notes
at the meetings.

So this might mean
that no government after yours

knew that there was
a Soviet defector in Sweden?

Strange as it seems,
that could very well be the case.

- What's up, Plague?
- Hello. We've got a problem.

What?

I've scoured Teleborian's computer
and his mailbox,

but there's nothing there.

- Nothing?
- Nothing about you or the trial.

The only thing of interest
could be two short e-mails

from Jonas with a Hotmail address.

"PE 1 ready next week."

It's dated September 20th.

And the next one reads:
"PE 2 ready tomorrow."

"PE." Could that stand
for "psychiatric evaluation"?

Could be.

- No files?
- No.

If he's sent anything,
he didn't use his work computer.

I bet he has a laptop
and a mobile internet connection.

- It could be hard to crack.
- But not impossible?

Nothing's impossible.

- I'll keep an eye on his e-mail.
- You do that.

Listen, don't call me.

- Text me or send e-mail.
- Okay. Bye.

Shit!

Hello, Mikael Blomkvist.

I'm Monica Figuerola
from Constitutional Defense.

Right.

I'm here to invite you
over for a chat.

It's a friendly invitation.
There's no risk involved.

- May I pick up my mail first?
- Sure.

- And change my underwear?
- No problem.

Torsten Edklinth,
Constitutional Defense.

- Blomkvist.
- Please take a seat.

I'm sure you understand
why we'd like to talk to you.

So let's cut to the chase.

We have found evidence
of a secret group, a conspiracy,

in a particularly
sensitive area of government.

Last night, the Prime Minister
green-lighted an investigation.

What exactly does that mean?

A thorough investigation.

One that might prompt the state
to press charges.

But before we get that far,
we need time to identify the players.

I understand, but where do I come in?

Your special issue...

If it's published before we're done,

it might jeopardize
the whole operation.

So, when is it okay to publish it?

Well...

Naturally, we have no say
in the matter. You decide.

But we would appreciate
your cooperation.

This much I can say.

I'm pissed off at the government,
the Security Services,

and all the other bastards
who committed a 12-year-old

to a mental institution
without reason

and took away her legal rights.

I am outraged about what happened
to Lisbeth Salander,

and the people responsible
will be punished.

But until then,
we must identify them all.

I agree.

But I also want Lisbeth Salander
acquitted and her rights restored

before the upcoming trial.

The outcome of the trial is nothing
we or the government can influence.

As long as I am 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.

We recruit our own people
for this investigation.

Blomkvist could work for us
as a consultant.

Evert Gullberg.
Anyone else?

Hans von Rottinger
and Fredrik Clinton.

The first one's deceased,
the other retired.

They were active members of the group
back in the '70s and '80s.

- The group?
- Yes.

How about we call it "The Section"?

The Section? All right.

Where did this information come from?

A dependable source.

Can we hang on to this place for now?

I'll see to it.

I was restrained,
tied down in bed with leather straps.

Peter Teleborian
stood next to the bed.

He smelled like aftershave,
and I hated the way he smelled.

I remember his breathing

and the way his mouth moved
as he bent over me.

But I could no longer hear his words.
I hated his mouth.

It was the night of my 13th birthday.

Niedermann is your brother.

Go on, Buster, seek! Seek.

- Unit 801641.
- Go ahead.

We have searched the premises,
and it's clear.

There was a break-in next door,
but the police are here now.

Would you like something
to help you get back to sleep?

On several occasions,
Lisbeth tried to tell Social Services

about how Zalachenko
repeatedly beat her mother.

Only no one took
the 10-year-old seriously.

To save her mother,
Lisbeth tried to kill her father

by throwing a milk carton
filled with gasoline in his face,

and then a lit match.

That's when society finally reacted,

but not by punishing
Alexander Zalachenko for his crimes.

Lisbeth was punished instead.

At the age of 12,
she was committed

to St. Stefan's
mental institution in Uppsala.

When she was released,
she was declared legally incompetent,

and a guardian was appointed.

- It's me.
- Why are you calling?

Teleborian's meeting Jonas
at the Central Station at 4:00.

What time is it?

- Almost 3:30.
- Shit!

Time for some blood tests.

I need to go to the bathroom first.

Teleborian.
Central Station, 4:00 p.m.

Christer.

I'm over at the gallery entrance.

Right, I can see you.

I'm down below.

I see Teleborian by the circle.
Move in closer. I'll stay here.

Okay. Fine.

You should see him soon.
Black coat.

Yeah. I see him.
Looks like he's waiting for someone.

Take it easy. Just survey him.
Don't move in too close.

I'm on top of it.

Someone came up.
Could be Jonas.

Grey jacket.
Don't recognize him.

They're leaving.
Should I shadow them?

Yes!

They're heading for the street exit.

Follow them!

- Monica here.
- It's Mikael.

Teleborian's meeting a guy
who might work for The Section.

- Right now?
- Yes.

Okay. Where?

Vasagatan. Are you coming?

I'm on my way.

- Hi.
- Hi.

- Micke.
- They're leaving.

Follow Teleborian.

- We'll tail the other guy.
- Okay.

It's me... Monica.
Run a license plate number for me.

Understood.

Guess who entered
the same building four hours ago.

- Who?
- Fredrik Clinton.

- Teleborian's evaluation?
- A rough draft.

It needs work, but it looks good.

Teleborian goes from one meeting

with Jonas Sandberg
from The Section

to another meeting
at police headquarters.

- Who did he go and see there?
- Let's see.

Jonas Sandberg

joined the counterespionage division
in 1998.

Then later, he was assigned

to an unspecified position abroad
in 2001.

Supposedly at our embassy in Madrid,
but no one's heard of him there.

Here is the building.
A co-op with 23 apartments.

Most of the residents appear
to be regular citizens,

but the penthouse is different.

It's huge and owned
by a company called Bellona.

The owners live abroad.

- Can we set up a camera?
- If we get a permit.

I'll see to it...
if you get us a teapot.

Never mind.
I'll bring one from home.

Subject: Autobiography

Hi.

- Am I interrupting something?
- Yes.

- I'll come back later.
- I'm almost done.

Send

I just wanted to give you a heads-up.
The police will be here tomorrow.

Okay.

We could stall them a few days more.

- But my colleagues would wonder why.
- Don't do it.

- Are you sure?
- Yes.

You don't seem all that worried.

No.

I've got a present for you.

Why?

You're one of the most entertaining
patients I've had for a long time.

If you get bored in your cell,
just read the latest DNA research.

- Your cell phone.
- It's in the chocolate box.

Teleborian will submit an evaluation.

He will claim that you need
to be institutionalized.

That's what
the prosecution wants, too.

But that means we need

an independent evaluation of you
as well.

It's for your own good, Lisbeth.

I won't talk to any shrinks.
I told you that.

I hope they fit.

The only person
your attitude hurts is you.

Lisbeth, come on.

Stand back!

Murder suspect Lisbeth Salander
was transferred from Gothenburg

to custody in Stockholm.

According to the prosecutor,
Richard Ekström,

her trial is scheduled to open
on November 6th.

Salander is charged

with the attempted murder
of her father, Alexander Zalachenko,

who was later brutally slain
while in the hospital.

According to the police, the trial
will warrant high-alert security

to ensure the safety of the defendant.

Sonny. When were you sprung?

This morning.

Magge, too?

No, not anytime soon.

Good to see you.

We had a police raid
on the same day you got arrested.

They didn't find a thing.

And that blond giant was here.
He came looking for a hideout.

That friend of yours and Magge's.

He's no friend of mine.

- The cops are after him.
- That's why he needed a hideout.

So I sent him to Victor's place.

Christ.

Sonny! Sonny!

Fucking hell.

Jenny. Jenny?

Jenny.

It's me... Sonny!

Who did this?

Nieder...

Niedermann.

Victor. Victor?

Niedermann.
He's going to pay for this.

He's dead meat.

Lisbeth Salander's autobiography?

What if they can prove this?

That's impossible.
They don't have any hard evidence.

Blomkvist is no fool.
Neither is Erika Berger.

We'll have to try harder
to make them drop this.

Press the green button.

It's time to play hardball.

Whose turn is it today?

- Malin's, right?
- Okay.

- Hi, how are things?
- Hi.

Is sushi all 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?

Could we swap batteries?
Mine's on the blink.

Micke. Look.

It's another anonymous e-mail.

- Have there been more?
- I got one last week.

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

Let's keep it between us.
We'll discuss this later on today.

- All right if I take this?
- Go ahead.

Do you want eight pieces?

I'm not really that hungry.
I'll skip it.

Time for your interview.

Well, then, we meet at last.

I'm Ekström, for the prosecution.

Let's see this as an introduction
rather than an interrogation.

A means to sort out
this complex story.

I assume you have no objections.

The charges are serious,

but we will take any extenuating
circumstances into account.

It's important that you are aware
of this, for your own sake.

This is a simple yes-or-no question.

When you went to see your daddy,
were you planning to kill him?

I urge counsel once again
to persuade Miss Salander to reply.

Once again, my client is entitled
to make her own decisions.

I suggest that a serious discussion
with Miss Salander is in order...

...for her own good.

Right.

I was surprised that she was so tiny,
like a little girl.

Our magazine has to be ready
in time for the trial, on the 13th.

It has to go to print
a week in advance.

How can we swing that?

We'll all pitch in.

You and Malin will write
about Teleborian 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-mail threats this week.

We thought you should know.

Threats?

Christ.
What kind of a bastard sent this?

- Have you told the police?
- We don't want them involved.

This is a serious threat.

I know it's serious, but I don't want
the police hanging around.

- So we shall ignore it?
- That's not what I'm saying!

- I'll deal with it my way.
- What's your way?

The police 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 Salander?
- Fine, considering.

- What about the charges?
- No comment.

As her lawyer,
you must have an opinion.

- Hello, my darlings.
- Hi.

- Are you in here?
- Yes.

- Sorry I'm late.
- Yes, you are.

Good thing you've had dinner.

This might help.
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 film.
The content speaks for itself.

Lisbeth has given her permission

to use it as evidence,
if you need it.

Want one?

How is Salander's health?

Physically, she's well enough
to be interviewed.

What about mentally?

It's public knowledge

that Salander has spent time
in mental institutions.

Are you implying
that Salander is mentally ill?

I'm not qualified to say that.

- Wait for the psychiatric evaluation.
- Who will be evaluating her?

Dr. Peter Teleborian of St. Stefan's
will be in charge.

Teleborian, 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 will get worse,
for all of you."

For us?

Is Micke tracing the sender?

He called someone.

Obviously it didn't help.
You've got to report this.

Otherwise we're sitting ducks!

I want to talk to Micke first.

- Then I'm calling the police.
- 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'll call Micke.

Hi. I can't take your call right now.
Please leave a message.

Where the hell are you, Micke?

I got another one.
And this one threatened us all.

Do you understand?
Call me, now!

Hello, Lisbeth.

I'm sorry you're in this predicament,
and I want you to know that.

I'm going to do my best to help you.

I'm hoping that we can work together,
you and I.

We got to know each other well

during our time together.

You were so very headstrong,

a 12-year-old who was
exceptionally 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 closeness and trust.

That goes for children,
in particular.

Don't you see that I am the person
best qualified to help you?

Don't you?

Oh, are you still here?

Why haven't you been taking
your calls?

I was busy writing,
so I switched it off.

Same sender.

Christer was going
to call the police.

But I stopped him.

We have to do something right now.

You and I run this magazine.

But we have a responsibility
towards our staff.

It's not just about you and me now.

I've been in touch with one
of Lisbeth's hacker buddies, Plague.

Is that better than the police?

He can trace anything.

It might take time,
but he'll be faster than the police.

Are we talking about days here?
Or weeks?

Honestly, I don't know.

If we act on the assumption
that Millennium has evidence,

what could it be?

The worst-case scenario...

...would be that they have a copy
of Björck's report.

They can't possibly know
about our operations.

He's got a lot of cred.

And so does Millennium.

Maybe it's possible to...
shoot his credibility down?

At any rate...

...we need to terminate
the problem.

She called us at 3:15 a.m.

And locked herself
into a room upstairs.

- We got there within 20 minutes.
- Did you find anything?

The police took care of the evidence,
and we're setting up an alarm system.

Erika told me about the threats.

There's probably a connection.

I've got someone tracing the e-mails.

- I don't want to involve the police.
- Re-think that.

This involves threats
to your safety and Erika's.

- My safety?
- Yes.

The silent alarm went off
at your place last night.

He was inside for 17 minutes.

When we searched your home,

we found 180 grams of cocaine
stashed in a stereo speaker

and 120,000 in cash in a closet.

What the hell?

They're trying to set you up

since they can't stop your magazine.

Is it still there?

The money, yes.

We did replace
the other stuff, though.

I've got to call Erika.

I expect she's getting some sleep.

- Erika speaking.
- It's me.

I know what happened, and it sucks.

I want to see you.
Can I come over?

No, I don't want you to come here.
We can talk later.

- I want to see you now.
- I need to get some sleep.

How about 3:00?

At Samir's.

Can I count on you?

3:00 p.m. I'll be there.

- Great. Bye.
- Bye.

I'll take it to the print shop.

Heard anything from Erika?

I have. She didn't sleep well
last 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 later?

We'll see.
I have an appointment.

It has yet to be determined

exactly how certain individuals fit
within The Section.

And there may be more operatives
we haven't identified yet.

But the key figures will be arrested
in a joint operation.

You will receive information
about this at a later date.

It's 2:50. I suggest we take a break
and reconvene in an hour.

- Any new developments?
- Clinton's had dialysis.

The others have been in and out.

Only Sandberg
has interacted with others.

He met two men at a pizzeria
in Bredäng at 10:30.

Who did he see?

I don't recognize them.
A Balkan connection, perhaps.

That's the Nikolich brothers.
Tomi and Miro Nikolich.

Originally from Serbia.

Nasty characters.
Snipers during the war.

Miro is wanted for assault,

but he spends most of his time
in Serbia.

Micke.

Hi, Samir.

Sorry I'm late.

- How are you?
- What do you think?

- Why didn't you call me last night?
- What for?

I called Milton Security
because I needed help.

It's time to back down.

Put me through to Samir's Place.
It's urgent.

I've canceled the printing.

You canceled the printing?

We have to consider
Malin's and Christer's safety, too.

You called it off?

I don't want the responsibility.

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

- Micke, you've got a phone call.
- Not now.

It's urgent, they say.

Sorry.

Shit!

No!

- I hear gunfire!
- I'll take a shortcut.

What the?

Micke!

Down!

Police! Get out! Hands up!

Go!

Police! Don't move! Hands up!

Are you all right?

Are you okay?

Here, clean yourself up.
Are you all 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 believe this.

Damn it!

I... just spoke to Christer and Malin.

They can't go to the office now.

We could have died today, Mikael.

Both of us.

No job is... worth dying for.

We don't know if they intended
to kill both of you or not.

But they probably expected the police
to find the drugs and the money,

and connect the shooting
to an underworld settlement.

What about your staff?

The office will be closed
until the trial is over.

We're postponing our next issue.

Really?

I see. Both of you
will need police protection.

No, I don't want that.

We'll see what happens.

Have you talked to her at all?

What can you tell us, Mikael?

We hope to achieve
a sentence of psychiatric care.

A lengthy prison sentence
is our second choice.

Isn't it usually
the other way around?

The psychiatric evaluation
is so clearly 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.

It 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 slept a wink.
- You'll do just fine.

Yeah, sure.

Everything will be fine.

There.

Thanks. See you later.

Stand back.

Look at her.

Unfortunately, Lisbeth Salander
has refused to utter a single word

during our seven interviews.

However, this has not prompted us
to reconsider the charges.

I turn the floor over to the defense.

Thank you.

The defense rejects the accusations.

We will prove that the prosecution's
version of the events is incorrect

and that my client's legal rights
have been severely compromised.

My client is innocent.

She deserves to be declared
legally competent

and to leave 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 closed doors...

to protect the best interests

of a psychologically vulnerable
individual

and due to the confidential nature
of certain information

that involves national security.

We'll be in touch.

This looks great.

Let's start by trying to understand

how it came to happen
that you went to Gosseberga

to try to kill your father,
Alexander Zalachenko.

Does your silence mean you still
refuse to answer any questions?

I am willing to answer questions.

Really?
Then go ahead.

I haven't heard a question.

I asked you
if you went to Gosseberga

intending to kill your father.

No.

You said you wanted to clear up

how it came to happen
that I went to Gosseberga

to try to kill my father,
Alexander Zalachenko.

It wasn't a question.
It was a statement.

Don't quibble 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 critical injuries,

and I claim
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 self-defense.

Thanks.

Listen, can I get you anything?

How about some cigarettes?

Dream on.

Hello.

How are you coping
with police protection?

Well, I suppose it's fine.

At least, as long
as they stay outside.

Erika.

I couldn't do it.

You're selfish.

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'll get back to you.

Take care.

Shit.

Salander, time to go.

Lisbeth Salander's
so-called autobiography

lacks all credibility.

It includes statements about people
that are outlandish.

In all, the material expresses
the paranoid schizophrenia

Lisbeth Salander suffers from.

Could you give us an example?

The most obvious
is the description of the rape...

...a crime she claims her guardian,
Bjurman, committed.

The descriptions,
with all that excessive detail,

are a classic example
of the grotesque fantasies

generally displayed by children.

Lisbeth Salander is not a child.
She's an adult.

Well, it remains to be seen

exactly which mental age level
she is on.

But in years, you are correct.

I see.

In 1993, Lisbeth Salander
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 possibly recall that.

It can't be that many.

How about a rough estimate?

Around 30 or so, but I fail to see
why that is relevant.

Lisbeth Salander asserts
that it was 381 days.

That's patently absurd.

So she wasn't restrained
for more than a year

of the two years she spent there?

Absolutely not.

The defense has tried repeatedly
to gain access to Lisbeth's records

from her time at St. Stefan's,

but none have been forthcoming.

Could you explain why?

It's confidential material.

Records like that generally are,
as you should well know, Counselor.

Here is a copy of Lisbeth Salander's
hospital records

for the years 1993 and 1994.

They show that Lisbeth Salander
was restrained for 381 days.

I must question the counsel.

How is this relevant
to the case at hand?

To illustrate the fact
that Dr. Teleborian

did not tell the truth.

Ms. Giannini, these records
from 1993 and 1994.

You cannot use them in court today

as a means of calling

Dr. Teleborian's credibility
into question.

I see.

I felt like a fool.

When the prosecution presents
that evaluation, I have nothing.

Nothing at all.

They'll lock her away again,

and I won't be able
to do a damn thing.

Who are you?

Plague.

What's this?

The contents of Teleborian's
private laptop on a flash drive.

Sorry. Come on in.

What's on it?

Everything you need.

Plus some nasty shit.

Christ.

I've got everything you need, Annika.

The Section connection,

several versions of the evaluation,
phony dates,

e-mail 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 later. 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 12, 1993, he beat her
so badly, she was left disabled.

Permanent brain damage.

Did you talk to anyone about this?

Yes.

I told the police, Social Services,
several doctors, a vicar,

and that pig over there.

I tried to tell him what happened
when I got to St. Stefan's.

He told me I was deluded

and put me in restraints
to punish me.

That's sheer nonsense.

Yet another example

of how reality-challenged
your client is.

You're a lying pig.

Lisbeth Salander.
No language like that in court.

I would like to move on
to the sexual abuse

Nils Bjurman
subjected my client to.

This has no bearing on the case.

The allegations are bizarre,
and not a shred of evidence exists.

It does have bearing, as an example
of how Lisbeth has been violated.

Fredrik Clinton may be undergoing
dialysis at the Karolinska Institute.

You will all receive a report
with all the necessary information.

I repeat. Force 1: Bublanski.

Force 2: Svensson.
Force 3: Modig.

Force 4: Figuerola.
Force 5: Holmberg.

If you have any questions,
consult your task-force leader.

Good luck!

You claim that your guardian,
Nils Bjurman, molested you.

Yes.

- When did this supposedly occur?
- Not "supposedly".

It occurred on Tuesday,
February 18, 2008,

and on Friday, March 7, 2008,
as indicated in my autobiography.

Did you go to the police?

- No.
- Why not?

They never listened to me before.

Did you see a doctor
for your alleged injuries?

No.

Did you tell anyone about it?

No.

The late Nils Bjurman
was never convicted of a crime.

He has never been connected
with criminal activity in any way.

It is my duty to remind the court
that Lisbeth Salander

has been diagnosed as suffering
from paranoid schizophrenia.

She spent years
in a psychiatric unit,

and has been legally incompetent
since she came of age.

No matter how tragic this is,
it was not unfounded.

Lisbeth Salander lives
in a warped world of her own.

This is very much evident
in this autobiography of hers.

It clearly demonstrates
how out of touch she is with reality.

And it's with that background...

...we must assess
the credibility of her claims.

- Is that all from the prosecution?
- Yes.

Then the defense may proceed
with their evidence.

Peter Teleborian claims
that Lisbeth Salander

is lying about being
sexually molested by Bjurman.

The prosecution shares this view.

I will now present evidence

proving that Lisbeth's claims
are, in fact, true.

When was this filmed, Lisbeth?

March 7, 2008.
I used a hidden camera.

Be good.

If you're good to me...

...I'll be good to you.

Will you be good?

It's too late.

Turn it off.
We've seen enough.

Why did you record that?

Bjurman had raped me before.
Oral sex.

When I asked for my money,
he demanded sex in exchange.

This was the only way
to obtain evidence,

the only way to make him stop.

Well...

Let's take a break. One hour.

I apologize for the delay.

Excuse me, Counselor,
are these documents new?

No, just revised...
with certain important additions.

I was just about to tell you that.

The defense has the floor.

Thank you.

Well, then...

No one can deny that Lisbeth
was molested

by her guardian, Nils Bjurman,

a person she thought
she could depend on.

This illustrates
how Lisbeth has been violated...

...violations of a mental
and a physical nature.

And much of the responsibility
lies at Dr. Peter Teleborian's door.

He has, along with Gunnar Björck,

a member of a rogue group
within our Security Services,

compiled a psychological evaluation
intended to keep...

...a dangerous witness,
Lisbeth Salander, in check.

- Incarcerated in a psychiatric ward.
- This is outrageous!

I have the floor.

This was after Lisbeth had splashed
gasoline on her father, Zalachenko,

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 Teleborian,

they had Lisbeth committed
at St. Stefan's in Uppsala.

This accusation is offensive!

I've tried to help Lisbeth
in every respect!

She tried to murder...

Yesterday, Dr. Teleborian
presented his latest evaluation.

Once again, the objective
is to commit Lisbeth Salander.

But as in 1993,
this is a falsification.

This is completely...

I must ask you to let
the defense finish. Please.

Thank you.

The evaluation is said to be based
on observations of my client.

They were allegedly made

after she was moved to custody
on October 6th,

and concluded as of November 5th.

Is that correct, Peter Teleborian?

I'd like to call two witnesses.

What? No!

Police! Drop it!

Right. Are you familiar
with this document?

Yes.

It's a psychiatric evaluation
of Lisbeth written by Dr. Teleborian.

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 identical to the version
Dr. Teleborian presented yesterday,

the one dated November 5th,
which is noteworthy.

My conclusion is that Dr. Teleborian
compiled his evaluation

before he saw
Lisbeth Salander again.

And this fact reduces
its credibility.

Chief Edklinth, is it correct
that you received these evaluations

of Lisbeth Salander
from Mikael Blomkvist?

Yes.

What conclusions do you draw?

That they are falsifications,

since they were created
long before Dr. Teleborian

had the opportunity to interview
Lisbeth Salander in Stockholm.

They have also been edited
by a man called Jonas Sandberg.

That's a lie.

Is it?

Not at all.

The documents are dated,
and the e-mail correspondence

between these two men
clearly confirms the process.

Sandberg belongs
to a rogue Security Service group

established in the mid-'70s
that protected Zalachenko.

The same group is responsible

for committing Salander
at St. Stefan's in 1993.

Jonas Sandberg
is one of ten individuals

who are now being arrested.

He is a suspect in the murder
of Gunnar Björck

and possibly one other murder.

We have a great deal of evidence
and several confessions.

Would Mr. Teleborian
care to comment on this?

Two police officers
are waiting at the door.

Peter Teleborian is
to be interrogated.

- Why is that?
- He is under arrest.

He is suspected of crimes
against the Child Pornography Act.

More specifically,
the possession of nearly 8,000

pornographic photos and films
of children that are on his laptop.

The police are impounding this.

Please come with us.

Please be seated.

Well, then.

We have not been able to process
all this new information...

...but the court sees no reason

why Lisbeth Salander
should remain in custody.

You are free to go,
pending sentencing.

Well...

Sure you don't want to go
to Millennium with me?

You can drop me off
on Folkungagatan.

You do know that this
is all thanks to Micke, don't you?

Yeah, but...

Right.

I need to be able to reach you.
We're not finished yet.

You can reach me by e-mail.

Good.

Bye.

- What do you say about the verdict?
- Justice prevails.

- And now it's time to celebrate.
- It sure is.

- Tell 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.

Its 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.

In the mid '70s, a spy,
a USSR defector, was recruited...

They've let Lisbeth out of custody,

which means
she'll either be acquitted

or sentenced to probation.

Oh, you.

- Here.
- An estate inventory?

Zalachenko's estate.

I want nothing from that bastard.

I see, but you're
legally competent now.

And I need your signature
to show that you've received it.

Bonds for over 300,000,
and property for 1.5 million kronor.

I want nothing to do with it.

There's more.

An abandoned brickyard
out by Norrtälje.

The land alone is worth 150,000.

Sell it all
and donate the money to charity.

Read it first.

After that, I'll sell it for you.

By the way, Micke sends his regards.

Your pizza's ready.

Thank you.

What the hell is this?

What the hell?

Damn it!

You deserve to die,
you fucking freak.

- Directory assistance.
- Hello.

There's a bikers club in Svavelsjö.
I'd like their number.

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

I'm listening.

- Emergency Services.
- Niedermann, the cop killer.

He's at the brickyard in Skederyd.
Bikers are about to kill him.

They're heavily armed.

Is this a bad time?

I was taking a bath.

I can tell.

- Have you seen the news?
- No.

Niedermann is dead.
Killed by a biker gang.

Then the police showed up
and arrested the whole lot.

Thank you for everything.

You're welcome.

Thank you.

I'll see you around.

- See you.
- You bet.
