"MEN WHO HATE WOMEN" "Today the verdict was delivered in the Wennerström case, in which the journalist and publisher of Millennium Magazine, Mikael Blomkvist, is accused of aggravated defamation of the successful financier Hans-Erik Wennerström." "Blomkvist accused Wennerström for illegal arms trafficking and fraud for over 60 million kroner." "The Swedes have always had different opinions about Mikael Blomkvist." "His supporters claim he is the last idealistic journalist." "But Blomkvist's long career as journalistic watchdog may now be over." "In the of Wennerström versus Millennium, the accused Mikael Blomkvist is found guilty on six of the eight slander charges." "The accused is sentenced to prison for three months and 150,000 kroner in damages to Hans-Erik Wennerström." "What's your response to the verdict?" "You have to stop people like Kalle Blomkvist who sniff around in other people's business due to political differences." "– No more comments." "– There he comes!" "– How does it feel to be found guilty for defamation?" "– Wonderful." "Will you continue as a journalist, Mikael Blomkvist?" "It's a shit." "Yes, it's a shit." "Hello, I'm Malin." "I'm Mikael." "Well, we have hired you in the worst crisis." "– No, Malin makes her internship with us." "– Welcome to our sinking ship." "– Cheers, everyone." "Merry Christmas." "– Cheers." "Merry Christmas." "– Cheers." "– How do we appeal against the verdict?" "We support you one hundred per cent, Micke." "Our advertisers have lost trust for us." "– We won't win it back by appealing." "– But it'll give us some time." "– No, it's over." "– It's about Millennium too." "The sooner it's over, the better for Millennium." "– Could we make peace with Wennerström?" "– What do you mean?" "We have lost readers' trust." "Why not apologise?" "– I don't think so." "– Then we lose our last integrity." "I have some bad news too." "– In contrast to all the good news?" "– Yes, exactly." "I have an old friend who works at Sett  Hört." "...SECRET AFFAIR WITH BUSINESS PARTNER" "Tomorrow, this hits the stands all over the country." "– What fucking pigs." "– Well..." "The witch hunt is on." "I don't want to play devil's advocate, but wouldn't it be a good idea if Mikael took time off from Millennium?" "Until the worst has blown over." "Merry Christmas." "Micke, wait!" "– Everyone is shocked." "– Only Janne dares to speak the truth." "– I was set up and it's a burden." "– Now we must find a way out." "It's empty in here." "I haven't written a single word for months now." "Do you understand?" "WENNERSTRÖM KNOCKS OUT BLOMKVIST" "GOING TO PRISON" "Damn..." "We don't normally introduce the researchers to our clients." "But we have a special relationship with your client, so we'll make an exception." "– We appreciate that." "– But I must warn you." "– Lisbeth is a pretty odd girl." "– What do you mean by odd?" "But she is our absolute best researcher." "Good morning, Lisbeth." "Good morning." "Dirch Frode." "Transcripts of text messages." "E-mail." "Bank details." "How did you get access to all this?" "You order, I deliver." "What can you tell me about Blomkvist?" "– All of it is there." "– The short version." "Mikael Blomkvist became "Kalle Blomkvist"" "after solving a bank robbery in the 80's." "He is a public figure without any big secrets." "You can read all the articles." "– But he does have secrets?" "– Everyone has secrets." "How hard is he affected by the Millennium crisis?" "– ..." "Financially?" "– Read the report." "Everything is there." "Miss Salander, is there anything you'd like to add?" "Do you have any personal reflection?" "There's something fishy about the Wennerström case.." "How?" "Is there something more?" "I will not delve into Blomkvist's job." "But I'd probably still like to hear your personal opinion." "Blomkvist is clean, not even speed fines." "I found nothing on him." "I don't think he has fabricated false evidence against Wennerström." "I think he was set up." "Why didn't you ask me?" "– No lawyer could have saved me." "– I know." "I read the verdict." "Is there anything you don't get involved?" "It bothers me that you didn't even ask me." "I'm your sister." "– I know it." "– So good, thanks." "It's enough that I pulled myself down into hell and I will not drag down the whole family." "And now you should be in prison?" "I don't get it." "– Sorry." "I would have asked you." "– Yes." "If you had done it..." "Now it's Christmas." "No more talk about rapists in the shower, OK?" "The secret to making meatballs is that you should wet your fingers before." "When you roll them, rub your hands together." "– Shit." "Can you answer?" "– Okay." "– It's Micke Blomkvist." "– Hey you, you terrorist." "– It's Mikael." "– Mikael Blomkvist?" "– Yes." "Who am I speaking with?" "– My name is Dirch Frode." "I am a lawyer and my client wants to talk to you." "– It's Christmas Eve." "What is that about?" "– My client wants to tell you himself." "– Call Millennium after New Year's Eve.." "– My client hates to wait." "– Who is your client?" "– Henrik Vanger." "Henrik Vanger?" "From the Vanger Group?" "My client would be very grateful if you'd come." "It's Christmas Eve and it's been a hellish week." "I guarantee that you will find it interesting." "Blomkvist!" "Yes, Henrik lives on the Hedeby Island." "A few miles from Hedestad." "The bridge is the only connection to the mainland." "In the old days, the Swedish business elite used to come here." "Now it's just Henrik and his housekeeper Anna who live here." "Henrik will see you there." "Thanks for coming, Mikael." "Frode's call was one of the more unusual." "– Are you hungry?" "It's lunchtime." "– Thanks, but let's get straight to the point." "– I'll go home this afternoon." "– Then we skip the lunch." "Do you remember her?" "It's Harriet Vanger, my brother Gottfried's daughter." "You've met her." "This girl?" "Your father worked for me during the summer of 1965." "He was a mechanical engineer at the plant and lived in one of our cottages." "Your mother and you came to visit on weekends." "Harriet used to babysit you." "You often played out there on the waterfront." "Well, I remember her." "– Harriet." "– I never got any children of my own." "Harriet was the apple of my eye." "She was extremely intelligent." "She was like a daughter to me." "What happened to her?" "– I believe she was murdered." "– Murdered?" "This is the Vanger family, Mikael." "My family." "On september 22, 1966, the entire Vanger family gathered here in the house for the annual meeting of the board." "30 petty and greedy people who were arguing about who would keep the biggest slice of the cake." "One of these people killed Harriet." "Harriet was 16 years old." "It was Children's Day." "She had been to Hedestad to watch the parade in the main street." "This picture was used in the local paper." "At two o'clock she came back here to the island." "She wanted to talk to me about something, but I was busy with the board." "How was she murdered?" "No one knows." "She just disappeared." "You are well prepared." "I've been thinking about that day for 40 years." "That's what I call preparation." "A quarter past two, there was a serious accident on the Hedeby bridge." "A fuel tanker full of gas lost brakes and crashed into a car." "The tanker laid sideways across the bridge." "The tank was leaking, so it spilled gasoline all over the place." "No one could pass through, due to the accident, so everyone on the island had to stay there" "At one point, the photographer caught this." "Look well at the window." "This is the last picture taken of Harriet." "Inspector Morell from Hedestad Police led the investigation." "He found the film and had to make zooming of the image." "Since then nobody has seen her." "We waited for her at the dinner, but she never showed up." "– Hello?" "– Lisbeth Salander?" "– Who is it?" "– Anna Svensson, from the guardianship committee." "– You have a new guardian:" "Bjurman." "– I already have one." "Your last guardian is hospitalised with a stroke." "Therefore we had to find a replacement." "You fucking idiot." "What if she simply ran off?" "There comes the accident into the picture." "The tanker blocked the bridge for 24 hours." "The bridge is the only way off the island." "So Harriet disappeared when no one could leave the island." "The day after, we came to think that there could be a crime." "But the bridge was open and the murderer could have taken out the body." "She may have drowned, committed suicide." "We dragged, we searched with dogs, divers... everywhere." "Even today, when I go out for a walk," "I find myself looking for her." "When Harriet was eight, she gave me a birthday gift." "A bluebell, from 1958." "Then a new flower every year." "1966." "The year when Harriet disappeared." "We're going into the attic." "Unbelievable." "Every damn year since then, I get a flower on my birthday from different parts of the world." "– Who would have sent the flowers?" "– Harriet's murderer." "You don't know my family." "You don't know what they are capable of." "Harriet was my favourite, which made her an ideal victim for all who wanted more power in the Vanger Group." "They wanted to crush me." "I am 82 years old." "The police gave up a long time ago." "I'm afraid I'll to the grave without ever knowing." "Help me by making one last attempt to find out what happened." "– Why me?" "– I have followed you through the years." "You are an accomplished journalist, persistent." "I am not asking you to solve the mystery, but I know you'll make an effort." "You have six months left before you serve your sentence." "You have spent 40 years..." "I'll pay you a substantial fee." "You will be well off." "You've got nothing to lose." "There's nothing waiting for you in Stockholm." "Come in." "I'm glad we had time to meet, even though it's Christmas." "Please sit down." "It's a little unfortunate that Palmgren had such a relaxed attitude towards guardianship laws." "I see that you have been managing your own finances." "– It has not been a problem." "– No, certainly not, Lisbeth." "But as your new guardian, I am legally and financially responsible." "So I'm toblame if you run out of money and cannot pay the rent." "I have a job and earn my own money." "There is no problem." "Yes, you work for Milton Security, I see here... – What do you do there?" "– Make coffee and photocopies." "This is what we'll do:" "From now on your pay will be deposited into a new account that I administer." "Each month you'll get a small amount for personal necessities," "But all your additional expenses must get approved by me." "OK?" "How do you look after your personal care, anyway?" "What do you mean?" "I thought of the rings and such." "Don't you get infections from them?" "Do you have any boyfriend?" "No." "Have you ever had sex?" "I'm 24." "How many people have you had sex with?" "I am your guardian and responsible for you in every way, so..." "It's actually my duty, my job to ask these questions to you." "– How many people have you had sex with?" "– It's my private life." "I can write here that you are cooperating, or that you're problematic and obstinate." "This will make your life get harder very quickly." "So how many have you had sex with?" "– Two." "– Two?" "200." "No, 2,000." "– 200,000." "Are we ready?" "– What kind of sex then?" "Do you have any special preferences?" ""Mikael Blomkvist resigns from Millennium's board and will no longer work for the magazine."" "– Did you write this press release?" "– Yes." "Without talking to me?" "It's me who must make that decision." "What happens now?" "– I'll work for Henrik Vanger in Hedestad." "– Henrik Vanger?" "OK." "Then you will work for the big capitalists now." "I won't work for the Vanger Group." "Will you live up there?" "In Hedestad?" "Have a nice trip." "Come on now!" "What are you looking at?" "!" "– Shit." "– What the fuck are you doing, you fucking bitch?" "!" "Take down that fucking bitch!" "– You bitch!" "– Get her!" "– She's crazy!" "– Fucking pussies, come here again!" "Come on." "What the fuck...!" "– Hello?" "– It is Lisbeth." "What do you think?" "– I can save the hard drive." "– Okay." "And the rest?" "You will have to go shopping." "– How did that happen?" "– Never mind." "– You stink of beer." "– And you smell like you just took a shower?" "You can borrow my old computer." "I use it as backup, so it stays here." "Welcome to Hedeby!" "Wonderfully refreshing with this icy weather." "You didn't want to stay in the main building, so I hope you enjoy staying here." "If it gets any colder, the water pipes will freeze." "Then you'll have to come to me for water." "I asked them to light a fire here." "There's a phone line and broadband so you can be in contact with the rest of the world." "Yes?" "Yes, that's good." "Hmm..." "Just leave it there." "This is some of the material about Harriet that I've collected over the years." "There are the photographs." "Police investigations." "Newspaper articles." "And some of Harriet's personal belongings." "It is a start." "You were a beautiful babysitter." "What happened to you?" "VANGER GROUP" "Keep Sweden pure!" "We are the Swedish National Socialists and the Aryan race can't do without us!" "The family Vanger is a very unpleasant crowd." "Most of us hate each other, but are forced together by business." "My brother Harald lives in there." "To put it mildly, we don't get along very well." "Your brothers Richard and Harald were in a Nazi movement in the 30's." "Oh, you already know about that." "Gottfried was in the Hitler Youth." "So therefore, all three were Nazis." "Yes." "Fanatics." "Richard died in the Finnish Winter War." "And Harald has become a bitter old man and never leaves the house." "Harald's daughter Cecilia is in Scotland at the moment." "Cecilia and Harald do not speak to each other." "Martin lives up there, Harriet's brother." "He took over the Vanger Group after me." "Hi." "Really?" "Here we have the famous Kalle Blomkvist." "Mikael." "Call me Mikael, so I know who you're talking to." "I'm goning to Stockholm, but we can eat dinner later." "Thank you, I won't refuse." "I want to hear how can you be able to spend six months in this godforsaken place." "Martin's and Harriet's father, Gottfried, lived a miserable, alcoholic life with his wife Isabella." "I've never seen a woman be as bad mother as Isabella was to Harriet." "So I intervened and took care of Harriet and Martin." "That's all the Vanger family who live here." "That day there was a lot more." "Cecilia's sister, Anita, who died of cancer." "– Greger Vanger, Ulrika Vanger..." "– Stop, wait a minute." "Who do you suspect?" "Nobody." "Everybody." "That's where you come into the picture." "Dear Diary." "Today I got this book from my dear uncle Henrik." "A nice, but busy man." "He finally came home from his trip and bought it for me." "I'm alone in my dad's cottage and write." "Anita is coming soon." "PRESENTED TO HARRIET VANGER MAY 28, 1965" "Oh, you are the one who's sniffing around in the family's history?" "Hell, you scared me!" "Cecilia Vanger." "Henrik said you'd be here." "– Mikael Blomkvist." "– I recognise you from the newspapers." "– What you got there?" "– Harriet's Bible." "She was often here with my sister." "– Anita?" "– Yes." "The summer before she disappeared." "– Odd, seeing that her father died here." "– Gottfried died here?" "He was drunk and fell into the lake." "They found him the next morning" "Down there, at the swimming platform." "It was the year before Harriet disappeared." "Henrik said you were travelling." "I had to come here and hide Harriet's corpse." "We were never allowed to come here when we were kids." "Thanks." "You are Harold's daughter." "Then Martin is your cousisn." "Yes." "It is not easy to keep track of this whole family" "Only Martin and I are pleased that you are here." "In addition to Henrik." "It does not happen that much here on the island." "See you." "I was extremely honored when you called." "And perhaps a bit surprised." "You kept your neutral profile in the media during the worst smear." "The reason why you are here today is that you are hot candidate for the post as director of communications for the Wennerström Group." "You have a large network, diplomatic talent." "You're known to be a good strategist." "When can you start?" "– I can start immediately." "– Excellent." "I just have to quit my job at Millennium." "I was thinking you could hold off on that." "Hold off?" "But you want me to start as soon as possible?" "Exactly." "Start immediately, but stay on at Millennium, if you catch my drift." "Mikael Blomkvist is gone." "No one will be checking up on you." "Maybe so, but Millennium has caused me a lot of grief." "Everyone knows it's a matter of weeks until the publication folds." "And I'll just rest more easily at night if I know what's going on there." "Do you understand?" "Yes." "Dear Diary." "It's autumn now." "The weather's getting colder." "Magda 30112." "Sara 32016." "BJ 32027." "LI 31208." "Mari 32018." "I don't understand why Henrik hired you." "To be honest, neither do I." "With all due respect... there's nothing to find." "It's been nearly 40 years." "You found Harriet's diary in her dad's cottage." "– The diary didn't help us one bit." "– What about the phone numbers?" "– They were a complete mystery to us." "– 32 is could be Hedestad." "30 is Norrbyn's area code." "But the names and the numbers don't match." "– Did you call them up?" "– We did." "We even tried backwards." "We switched them, removed numbers." "We tried everything." "In the report, she's described as "withdrawn and religiously inclined"." "Was that your impression?" "Yes, but who isn't withdrawn at that age?" "But yes." "She kept to herself." "Anita, her cousin, knew her the best." "Anita is Cecilia Vanger's sister." "And Anita is dead." "She died many years ago." "Harriet was my first case." "I've thought about it every day for nearly 40 years now." "I'm retiring this summer." "It's only now that I'm able to let it go." "There is no answer." "You'll only breathe life into Henrik's obsession." "Give it up before you become obsessed yourself." "What are you working on?" "– So, who's this week's victim?" "– Nobody." "I see." "Still that reporter." "I thought you were done with him." "Why do you continue?" "Yes, it's a bit slow." "I know" "A new computer?" "– Yes, I need 20,000." "– Why do you need such expensive computer?" "– So I can play, surf the Internet." "– You often surf the Internet?" "Do you chat?" "But you know, Lisbeth..." "I can't just hand you 20,000." "Not... – ...just like that." "– How hard can it be?" "Why can't I look after my own money?" "Hit me back." "Come on." "That's what you want." "Hit me." "If you give me any kind of trouble, Lisbeth, I'll make sure you spend the rest of your life in a closed ward." "I know all about your mental problems and your violent background." "Don't get me wrong, Lisbeth..." "I'm more than happy to give you the 20,000." "But, you know, any business transaction... is built on trust." "I have to feel that I can trust you." "Can I trust you, baby?" "Can I trust you, Lisbeth?" "Can I trust you?" "If you're nice to me..." "If you're this nice to me, I'll always be nice to you." "– It's only 7,000." "– More than enough for a computer." "What are you looking at?" "– Henrik Vanger." "– It's Mikael." "Has something happened?" "What time is it?" "You said it was a photographer from the paper that shot the parade." "– Yes, he covered both the parade and the accident." "– And you're still on the paper's board?" "– No, but I still own a share." "– Good." "The old part of the archive is a jumble." "We haven't digitalised it." "It's still kept in negative folders." "20... 30 40, 50, 60..." "A photographer uses between two and ten rolls a day." "Probably closer to ten on Children's Day." "Here." "September 1966." "I only need the hour of the parade." "– Knock yourself out." "– They're not sorted?" "If you're lucky, they might be chronological." "– Is there a scanner and a light table?" "– Nope." "This is the first lead in the case in 39 years." "It's a start." "It's more than that." "Look." "You get my drift?" "Something catches her eye." "What is it that frightens her?" "Her killer." "Somewhere here, across the street is Harriet's killer." "– Coffee, Mikael?" "– What have you found so far?" "Well, I must've read several thousand pages." "People have worked on this for 40 years." "To be perfectly honest I haven't found a thing." "Shouldn't you be in Stockholm trying to appeal against your verdict?" "– Stop it." "– You stop it, Martin." "– Mikael's old enough to..." "– I was set up." "An old classmate gave me a tip concerning Wennerström's company." "It was a good story." "Good enough to nail him." "So you'd think, right?" "Yes, because suddenly there was an even better story about fraud and gun-running amounting to 60 million kroner." "Wennerström's name was all over it." "So far, so good." "Until I wrote the story." "Then all my sources disappeared." "And all documents and evidence turned out to be forged." "Fake?" "So it was an attempt to lure you away from the real scandal?" "It was too good to be true." "Do you want something that really is too good to be true?" "Single malt. 21 years old." "To hell with all the troubles of the past." "Cheers." "– Cheers." "– Cheers." "You..." "How about one last glass of wine?" "I think I've had more than enough." "– Thanks for a nice evening." "– Is it because of the investigation?" "Because of my secretive family?" "– What do you mean?" "– It could be me." "Right?" "I guess I'm also on your list of suspects." "Erika Berger." "I can't answer, Please leave your message." "Hi, Erika." "Give me a call." "Hi, Micke!" "Hi." "– What are you doing here?" "– Nice to see you, too." "– Welcome to the countryside." "– Yes, I can tell." "– What's all this?" "– My life, these days." "– No touching." "They're in order." "– I'm just looking." "Isn't this nice and cosy?" "– How are things?" "– We're keeping our spirits up." "– I meant how are you?" "– There is no me right now." "The magazine is all there is, and it's tottering on the brink." "– What's the new girl like?" "– Malin?" "She's damn good." "Hard-working." "Reminds me of myself ten years ago." "But we could still use you." "Henrik Vanger asked us over for lunch." "– When did you talk to him?" "– I had to check out your new digs." "– Is that a problem?" "– Not to me." "– But we'll be talking about work." "– Boring." "– Hello." "– Pleased to meet you." "So you're the one who hijacked my editor?" "I thought we'd start by discussing our business transaction and then later we can enjoy a peaceful lunch." "– Business?" "– Didn't you told him about our conversation?" "– I wanted to surprise him." "– What are you up to?" "– It's about Henrik investing in Millennium." "– Since when do you play behind my back?" "Do you have the right to question how I intend to save Millennium?" "– I have the right to an opinion." "– Can we hear it?" "A radical publication that has ties to an industrial magnate, doesn't look too good." "We must save the magazine." "You're right, but I have no intention of meddling." "I detest it when a publication loses its integrity due to ownership issues." "– So why do you want to be involved?" "– Erika has done excellent research." "She knows I like to go into projects where all others have given up." "You should know that by now, Mikael." "– Cheers." "– Cheers." "Yes, you were right, I was being pig-headed." "– Do you agree?" "– I need to finish this." "Take care now." "– Bjurman." "– It's Lisbeth." "– What do you want?" "– I need more money." "– We'll talk about it." "– I need it now." "Hello and welcome." "Come in and take your jacket off." "– I just want my money." "– You'll get your money." "Thanks for your last visit." "I hope you enjoyed it as much as I did." "I won't give you a blowjob every time I need money." "Is that right?" "Then what do you want?" "Shall I call the guardian agency and say you've trespassed and that you're threatening me?" "Then we'll see how quickly you'll be back in the psychiatric ward." "What do you say?" "So yes, that's much better." "Like that." "Come here." "Come on." "No!" "I've got... a rule for you to learn." "If you put up a fight, so..." "Are you a good girl?" "Are you a good girl?" "Are you a good girl?" "Then I'll be nice to you." "Are you a good girl?" "NORSJÖ CARPENTERS" "NORSJÖ CARPENTERS" "My husband died many years ago." "So it's just me left." "He worked there as a carpenter for 24 years." "They made everything from clothes pegs to closets." "He built that cabinet." "And the lamp, of course." "More cake?" "Do you recall if you were in Hedestad in september 1966?" "Hedestad?" "– 1966?" "– Yes." "– Oh, it was our honeymoon." "– Wonderful." "Do you have snapshots?" "We went camping." "It was all the rage back then." "It was our best holiday togeter." "But I guess honeymoons often are." "– But do you have some snapshots?" "– Yes, I certainly do." "Who doesn't save the photos from their honeymoon?" "The first days my husband and I hiked." "My husband was a skilled hiker." "We hiked for miles." "– He wasn't exactly romantic." "– Nah..." "Now, let's see." "Hedestad..." "Here, look." "Oh, how beautiful." "Even if the photo doesn't do the sunset justice." "Let's see." "Here's something." "– There was a parade." "– Do you...?" "– To Henrik Vanger!" "– To Henrik!" "I got a negative from Micke that I have to clean up." "– What the hell is he doing up there?" "– Playing detective." "– Sherlock Holmes!" "– Yes, to Sherlock Holmes!" "Malin?" "I was thinking of grabbing a beer to celebrate our new investor." "Do you want to come?" "– What?" "Just the two of us?" "– Yes." "Why not?" "– Just give me a moment." "– Sure." "Oh, sorry." "I just sent some emails to Micke... and they appeared here on your computer." "God, that's weird." "It must be a server glitch." "It's happened before." "– It's happened before?" "– Really weird." "– Shall we go?" "– Yes." "– What do you think about it?" "– It looks good." "It's a sensitive area, so it will probably be painful." "Here we go." "– There are different kinds of needles, right?" "– Yes." "How big is the thickest one?" "I can show you later if you like." "What the hell are you doing here?" "I'm on my way out." "You've misunderstood the rules." "You have to make an appointment." "Don't you hear what i say?" "Let me go, Lisbeth." "Do you hear?" "Let me go." "Do you like being tied up?" "Or do you prefer tying other people up?" "It's great." "Did you choose it yourself?" "Didn't you choose it yourself?" "I think it's nice." "You know that show where people get busted by hidden cameras?" "We've got those cameras at Milton." "I had one in my bag last time I was here." "Hello and welcome." "I just thought you'd make me give you a blowjob." "But you're sicker than I thought." "It lasts a while, so you've got time to consider what police and media could say." "Enjoy it." "Thanks for your last visit." "I hope you enjoyed it as much as I did." "I won't give you a blowjob every time I need money." "Is that right?" "Then what do you want?" "I'll tell you how we'll do this." "You just nod." "OK?" "I'll look after my own account." "You'll have no access." "I control my own finances." "You got that?" "Each month you'll write in your report that my behaviour is perfect." "Better than ever before." "In exactly a year, you'll apply for the termination of my guardianship." "I'll send you further instructions." "You can never contact me again." "If you do, I'll send copies of the film to the police and the press." "The same thing happens if I'm in an accident or if you break my rules." "You got that?" "Good." "I've never done this before." "Lie still or it'll get messy." "Lie still now." "I'M A SADIST PIG AND A RAPIST" "...DURING THE LAST YEAR AN AVID INTEREST IN RELIGION." "SEND" "The guy in the blue sweater." "I can't get his picture sharp." "I can't do a thing about it." "It's completely out of focus." "– Are you sure?" "– Yes." "I've tried everything." "Thanks for trying." "Catch you later." "Wasp?" "Harriet's phone numbers." "Book of Leviticus."

"– He scared the hell out of me." "– You don't mess with Harald." "What were you doing in his house?" "Harriet discovered a handful of murders from the '40s to the '60s." "She found a pattern the police didn't know about." "We believe that's why she was killed." "But that..." "It sounds totally insane." "We've found a pattern regarding the victims." "They all had jewish names." "Yes, yes, Harald isn't exactly crazy about Abraham's kin." "So I went to his house to see if I could find anything." "– And?" "– Well, nothing." "He turned up too soon." "But he didn't exactly act all innocent." "If Lisbeth can track down his travel activities from the accounts, we could probably get evidence against him, bills, invoices." "She's going through everything." "Very well." "I'll call the police." "Try Morell." "What were you doing at Harald's?" "There, there, there." "Scream as much as you want to, Mikael."

"But it was a mistake." "You shouldn't leave the bodies behind." "I take them for a trip in my boat and then I drop them in the sea." "Mikael?" "Mari was my first." "'64?" "You were 16 years old." "It was Dad, Gottfried, who taught me how I should strangle her." "It's sick." "It's mainly for the sex." "When I put them down, it's only a logical consequence of the rape." "I can't leave any witnesses." "Even though I have to admit I love seeing their disappointment." "– Disappointment?" "– They don't realise that they'll die." "It doesn't really fit into their scheme of things." "They always think I'll show them mercy." "It's a fantastic moment when they realise they're not getting away." "When the eyes switch off... and die." "You'll experience that yourself." "What did it feel like when your sister's eyes died?" "– Harriet disappeared." "– You want me to believe that?" "Believe what the hell you want to." "I would have enjoyed killing her." "But she disappeared." "Just like you'll disappear." "Do you want some water?" "Yes." "Thanks." "You see..." "you're just like everybody else." "It only takes a simple human gesture to ignite a small hope that I might let you go after all." "Right?" "Take it easy." "It'll be quick." "I'm mostly looking forward to your little girlfriend." "Come on, you little cunt!" "Are you OK?" "Fuck!" "I can't..." "I can't m..." "I can't move." "Help me." "Please help me." "– Where's Martin?" "– He's not coming back." "What do you mean?" "He drove to his death." "– He's finished." "– Are you sure?" "What the hell did you do?" "He died in a car accident." "We don't know anything." "OK?" "Blomkvist!" "– What the hell happened here?" "– The cellar." "What happened out there?" "He didn't die in an accident, did he?" "Damn it, Lisbeth." "His father taught him to kill when he was 16 years old." "That would make anybody sick in the brain." "Don't make him into a fucking victim." "He nearly killed you." "He was a killer and a rapist, and he enjoyed it." "He had the same chances as everyone else." "You choose who you want to be." "He wasn't a victim." "He was an evil motherfucker who hated women." "How did he die?" "He burned to death." "– Could you have saved him?" "– Yes." "– But you let him burn." "– Yes." "Lisbeth, I would never have done that." "But I understand why you did it." "I don't know what you've been through." "But I almost died in that cellar." "And you saved my life." "Whatever it is you've been through you don't have to tell me." "I'm just glad you're here." "Thanks." "For the first time in my life I feel old." "What do we do now?" "We'll have to identify all the victims." "Notify their next of kin." "Get in touch with the ones we can find and tell them what happened." "How can one ever make it up to them?" "By providing some kind of financial compensation?" "No..." "Well, Mikael..." "It's the story of the decade." "You've got your work out for you while you're in prison." "It's a good story." "But I'm not going to write about it." "How can I thank you?" "You solved a mystery that occupied far too many years of my life." "It was my very first case." "How fitting that it would be my last." "– We're not finished yet." "– What do you mean?" "– Harriet wasn't one of Martin's victims." "– What are you saying?" "Martin didn't kill Harriet." "Lisbeth?" "Lisbeth?" "THERE ARE TWO ANITA VANGERS." "ONE OF THEM DIED IN LONDON." "THE OTHER ONE LIVES IN AUSTRALIA." "FIRST ENTRY INTO THE COUNTRY IN 1966." "Harriet?" "Harriet Vanger?" "Harriet Vanger?" "Is that right?" "Yes." "You and your cousin babysat me when I was a small boy." "But I'm here on behalf of Henrik Vanger." "Does he know I'm alive?" "Not yet." "Is this to do with my brother's death in a car accident?" "– How did you know that?" "– We do have Internet access here." "Your brother did this." "He nearly killed me." "It doesn't surprise me." "I'm here to visit Agneta Salander." "– Who can I say it is?" "– Her daughter." "Her daughter?" "Are you Agneta's daughter?" "I'm sorry, it's just..." "I've never seen you before." "A visitor." "For Agneta Salander." "OK." "Room 314." "Hi, Mum." "Mom?" "It's me." "Lisbeth." "Lisbeth?" "Are you Lisbeth?" "I wanted to come a long time ago." "You look so different now." "– Do you have kids?" "– No." "A boyfriend?" "There is someone but you should never fall in love" "You know that better than anyone." "Right, Mom?" "I should have picked a better father for you." "Mum..." "It was you he harmed." "Mum..." "Come in." "Mikael." "Welcome back." "I've got a nice surprise." "Promise me you won't have a heart attack." "With all the pills I'm popping at the moment," "I think it's physically impossible to have a heart attack." "Harriet?" "Forgive me." "I'm sorry." "I'm sorry." "I was 14 when dad raped me for the first time." "A year later he took me to his cottage." "Then Martin joined in." "And they abused me again several times after that." "One day I'd had enough." "Dad was drunk as usual." "He reeled off Bible verses and boasted about all the women he'd killed." "I took the oar and hit him hard." "I forced him underwater until the surface became still." "Then I pushed the boat out to make it look like an accident." "But when I turned around Martin was there." "Martin treated me even worse than Gottfried." "You sent him to a boarding school in Uppsala, but on Children's Day he came back." "I was terrified it would start all over again." "And then you went to Anita?" "Anita helped me out of here." "When the bridge was opened, she drove the car." "I was in the back seat under a blanket." "I've been thinking of you all these years." "I sent you the framed flowers... because I wanted to tell you that I was out there somewhere." "So I was sad to hear Mikael tell me what you'd read into them." "If you hadn't sent them, you wouldn't be sitting here now." "No." "Lisbeth?" "it's me again." "Call me if you get this." "I hope you're all right." "Call me." "You've got a visitor." "Thirty minutes." "I'm so happy to see you." "Here." "– What's this?" "– A bit of reading." "– Don't you want to sit down?" "– I just wanted to give you that."
