"THE GIRL WITH THE DRAGON TATTOO [MEN WHO HATE WOMEN]" "BASED ON STIEG LARSSON'S NOVEL" "Today the verdict was delivered in the Wennerstrцm case." "The publisher of Millennium Magazine, Mikael Blomkvist, has been accused of libel by successful businessman Hans-Erik Wennerstrцm." "Blomkvist had accused Wennerstrцm of gun-running and other serious felonies amounting to over 60 million kroner." "The Swedes have never agreed on Mikael Blomkvist." "His supporters claim he's the last bastion of a journalism with ideals." "But Blomkvist's long career as a watchdog may now be over." "In the case of Wennerstrцm versus Millennium, the accused Mikael Blomkvist is found guilty on 6 out of 8 counts." "The accused is sentenced to three months in jail and will pay damages of 150,000 kroner to Hans-Erik Wennerstrцm." "You have to stop people like Kalle Blomkvist who sniff around in other people's business due to political differences." "– How will you celebrate?" "– No comment." "There he is." "– What's it like to be found guilty?" "– Wonderful." "Can you continue your work as a reporter?" "– Cheers, everybody." "Merry Christmas." "– Cheers." "Merry Christmas." "– Cheers." "– How do we appeal the verdict?" "We support you one hundred per cent, Micke." "But we have to do something." "Our advertisers are losing trust." "– We won't win it back by appealing." "– But it'll buy us some time." "– No appeal." "It's over." "– Millennium's future is at stake." "The faster this ends, the better for Millennium." "I don't want to play devil's advocate, but it might be a good idea if Mikael took leave from Millennium." "Till this thing's blown over." "Merry Christmas." "Wait, Micke." "– They're in shock." "– Only Janne dares to speak the truth." "– I was set up." "I'm a problem." "– We just have to find a way." "It's empty in here." "I haven't written a single word for months now." "Do you understand?" "WENNERSTRЦM KNOCKS OUT BLOMKVIST" "GOING TO PRISON" "Damn." "We don't normally introduce the researchers to our clients." "But your client is special to us, so we'll make an exception." "– It's much appreciated." "– But I must warn you." "– Lisbeth is a pretty odd girl." "– What do you mean by odd?" "Make no mistake." "She's the best researcher we have." "Good morning, Lisbeth." "Good morning." "Dirch Frode." "Transcripts of text messages." "E-mails." "Bank statements." "How did you get access to all this?" "You order the goods." "I deliver them." "What can you tell me about Blomkvist?" "– It's all in my report." "– The short version." "Blomkvist was nicknamed after fictional boy detective Kalle Blomkvist when he foiled a bank robbery in the eighties." "He's a public figure without any big secrets." "Read all the news clippings." "– But he does have secrets?" "– Everyone has secrets." "To what extent is he affected by the crisis at Millennium?" "– Financially, I mean." "– Why don't you just read the report?" "Miss Salander, is there anything you'd like to add?" "What's your personal take on him?" "There's something fishy about the Wennerstrцm case." "What do you mean?" "There's more to the case?" "I'm researching Blomkvist, not doing his job." "I'd just like to hear your personal opinion." "Blomkvist's totally clean." "I didn't find anything on him." "I don't think he faked any evidence against Wennerstrцm." "I think he was set up." "Why didn't you ask me?" "– No lawyer could save me." "– I know." "I read the verdict." "I didn't want to involve you." "But you could've asked me." "I'm your sister." "– I know." "– I'm glad." "I'm already in the gutter." "Why drag the family down with me?" "And you're going to prison." "It's insane." "The secret to good meatballs is to wet your fingers." "When you roll them, rub your hands together." "Shit." "Will you answer it, please?" "– Hello, this is Micke Blomkvist." "– You little rascal." "– This is Mikael." "– Mikael Blomkvist?" "– Yes." "Who's this?" "– My name's Dirch Frode." "I'm a lawyer and I have a client who'd like to see you." "– It's Christmas." "What is it about?" "– My client will tell you himself." "Call Millennium after New Year's Eve." "My client doesn't like waiting" "– Who's your client?" "– Henrik Vanger." "From the Vanger Group?" "My client would be very grateful if you'd come." "Listen, it's Christmas, and it's been a hell of a week." "I promise you'll find it interesting." "Blomkvist!" "Henrik lives on the island of Hedeby, a mile or two from Hedestad." "The bridge is the only link to the mainland." "In the old days, the Swedish business elite came here." "Now it's just Henrik and his housekeeper Anna who live here." "Thank you for coming, Mikael." "Frode's call was pretty unusual." "– Are you hungry?" "It's lunchtime." "– No thanks." "Let's get started." "– I'm going back again today." "– Right." "No lunch then." "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 a cottage here." "You and your mother came for visits during the weekends." "Harriet looked after you." "You often played down there by the water." "I remember her." "– Harriet." "– I never had any children of my own." "Harriet was the apple of my eye." "An incredibly smart girl." "She was like a daughter to me." "What happened to her?" "– I believe she was killed." "– Killed?" "This is the Vanger family, Mikael." "My family." "September 22nd, 1966." "On that day the family gathered in this house for the yearly board meeting." "30 small-minded and greedy people fighting for the biggest slice of the cake." "One of these people killed Harriet." "Harriet was 16 years old." "It was Children's Day." "She'd been to Hedestad to watch the parade in the main street." "This picture was in the local paper." "She returned to the island around two o'clock." "She wanted to see me, but I was too busy with the meeting" "How was she killed?" "Nobody knows." "She just disappeared." "You're well prepared." "I've been thinking about that day for 40 years." "That's what I call preparation." "Quarter after two there was a serious road accident on the bridge." "A fuel tanker full of gas crashed into a car." "The tanker was blocking the bridge." "It spilled gasoline all over the place." "Nobody could pass the tanker." "Everyone had to stay on the island." "By chance, a photographer caught this." "Look at the window." "This is the last picture taken of Harriet." "Officer Morell from Hedestad Police was in charge of the investigation." "He found this film and had the photo blown up." "Since then nobody has seen her." "We waited for her at dinner, but she never turned up." "– Hello?" "– Lisbeth Salander?" "– Who's this?" "– It's the probation department." "I'm calling to tell you you've got a new guardian." "I already have one." "Your current guardian has had a stroke so I've had to find you a new one." "I'm glad we could meet even though it's Christmas." "It's a little unfortunate that Palmgren had such a relaxed attitude towards guardianship laws." "I see you were allowed to control your own finances." "– There haven't been any problems." "– No, maybe not." "But as your guardian, I'm legally and financially responsible." "So I'm to blame if you suddenly can't come up with your rent." "I work." "I earn my own money." "Yes, I can see you work for Milton Security... – What do you do?" "– I 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 other expenses have to be approved by me." "Okay?" "How do you look after your personal hygiene?" "What do you mean?" "With all those rings." "Don't you get infections?" "Do you have a boyfriend?" "No." "Have you ever had sex?" "I'm 24." "I can either write down that you are cooperating, or that you are causing problems and being difficult." "And then your life'll get harder very quickly." "So how many people have you had sex with?" "– Two." "– Two?" "200." "No. 2,000." "– 200,000." "Are we done now?" "– What kind of sex do you have?" "Any special preferences?" "What if she simply ran off?" "You have to keep the accident in mind." "The bridge was closed for 24 hours." "That's the only way off the island." "So Harriet disappeared when nobody could leave." "It was only the next day we started thinking there might be a crime." "But then the bridge was open and the killer could've disposed of the body." "She could have drowned, killed herself." "We dragged for her body." "We had tracker dogs and divers everywhere." "Even today, when I go for a walk," "I catch myself looking for her." "When Harriet was eight, she gave me a birthday present." "A framed bluebell from 1958." "After that she gave me a new flower each year." "1966." "The year Harriet disappeared." "We're going to the attic." "Amazing." "Every damn year, I receive a framed flower on my birthday from some far corner of the world." "– Who do you believe sends them?" "– Harriet's killer." "You don't know my family." "You don't know what they're capable of." "Harriet was my favourite." "That made her the ideal victim for those who wanted more power in the Vanger Group." "They wanted to crush me." "I'm 82 years old." "The police gave up long ago." "I'll end up going to my grave without knowing" "Help me by giving it one last try." "– Why me?" "– I've followed your career." "You're a damn good reporter." "Persistent." "I'm not asking you to solve the mystery." "Just try." "You've six months before you have to serve your sentence." "You've devoted 40 years to..." "I'll pay you handsomely." "You'll be well off." "You've got nothing to lose." "Nothing's waiting for you in Stockholm." ""Mikael Blomkvist resigns from Millennium's board and will no longer work for the magazine."" "Did you write this press release without talking to me?" "Only I could make that decision." "What now?" "I'll work for Henrik Vanger." "Henrik Vanger?" "I see." "So now you're working for the big capitalists?" "It's not for the Vanger Group." "You're gonna stay there?" "In Hedestad?" "Have a nice trip." "Come on, motherfucker!" "What are you looking at?" "– What the fuck?" "– What are you doing, damn bitch?" "That bitch is going down." "– Fucking bitch!" "– Get her down!" "– The bitch is fucking crazy." "– Come again, you cunts!" "Come on." "Shit." "What do you think?" "– I can save the hard drive." "– Good." "And the rest?" "You have to go shopping" "– How did it happen?" "– Never mind." "You stink of beer." "You think you smell like you just took a shower?" "You can borrow my old computer." "I'm using it for back-up, so it has to stay here." "Welcome to Hedeby." "Wonderfully refreshing with this icy weather." "You didn't want to stay in the main building." "I hope you'll like it here." "If it gets any colder, the pipes will freeze." "Then you'll have to come to me for water." "Oh, there you are." "Just leave it there." "It's some of the stuff I've collected over all these years." "There are photographs." "Police reports." "News articles." "Even some of Harriet's belongings." "Well, it's a start." "You were a beautiful babysitter." "What happened to you?" "Keep Sweden pure!" "We are the Swedish National Socialists and the Aryan race can't do without us!" "All in all, the Vangers are a pretty unpleasant bunch." "Most of us hate each other, but are forced together by business." "My brother Harald lives in there." "We don't get along, to put it mildly." "Your brothers Richard and Harald joined a Nazi group in the 30's." "I see..." "You already know about that." "Gottfried was a member of the Hitler Youth." "All three were Nazis." "Yes." "And fanatics, at that." "Richard died in the Finnish Winter War." "Harald has turned into a bitter, old man." "He never leaves the house." "Harald's daughter Cecilia is currently in Scotland." "Cecilia and Harald are not on speaking terms." "Martin lives up there." "Harriet's brother." "He took over the Vanger Group after me." "Hi." "Well, well." "If it isn't the famous Kalle Blomkvist." "Just call me Mikael." "Then I know who you're talking to." "I'm eager to hear why on earth you are to spend six months in this godforsaken place." "Martin's and Harriet's father, Gottfried, led a miserable, alcoholic life with his wife Isabella." "I've never seen a woman be as bad a mother as Isabella was to Harriet." "I stepped in and took Harriet and Martin under my wing" "And that's all of the Vangers who live here." "On that day, even more joined us." "Cecilia's sister Anita who died from cancer." "– Greger Vanger and Ulrika Vanger." "– Wait a minute." "Who do you suspect?" "Nobody." "And everybody." "That's where you come into the picture." "Dear Diary." "Today I got this diary from my dear uncle Henrik." "A kind, but busy, man." "He's finally home from his travels and brought me this diary." "I'm by myself in my dad's cottage." "Anita will be here soon." "So you're the one sniffing around in family matters?" "Hell, you scared me." "Cecilia Vanger." "Henrik said you'd be here." "– Mikael Blomkvist." "– I recognise you from the papers." "– What have you found?" "– Harriet's Bible." "She was often up 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" "Just down there." "It happened the year before Harriet disappeared." "Henrik said you were travelling." "I had to come home in order to hide Harriet's body." "We weren't allowed to be here when we were kids." "It was off-limits." "Thanks." "Dear Diary." "It's fall 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 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." "– But 32 is... 32 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?" "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?" "– Who's this week's victim?" "– Nobody." "Still that reporter?" "I thought you were done with him." "Why do you keep at it?" "It's a bit slow." "A new computer?" "– Yes, I need 20,000." "– Why do you need a 20,000 kroner PC?" "– So I can play, surf the internet." "– You often surf the internet?" "Do you chat?" "Know what, 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." "Come on." "That's what you want, isn't it?" "Hit me." "If you give me any kind of trouble, 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 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?" "You said it was a photographer from the paper that shot the parade." "Yes, he covered both the parade and the accident." "The old part of the archive is a jumble." "We haven't digitised 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." "You don't happen to have a negative scanner and a light table?" "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." "He was somewhere here." "Harriet's killer is standing across the street." "– Coffee, Mikael?" "– What have you found so far?" "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 your verdict?" "– Give it a break." "– You give it a break." "– Mikael's old enough to..." "– I was set up." "An old class-mate gave me a tip concerning Wennerstrцm's company." "It was a good story." "Good enough to nail him." "So you'd think." "Yes, because suddenly there was an even better story- about fraud and gun-running amounting to 60 million kroner." "Wennerstrцm's name was all over it." "So far, so good." "Until I wrote the story." "Then all my sources disappeared." "And all of the 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." "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." "– Bjurman." "– It's Lisbeth." "– What do you want?" "– I need more money." "– We'll talk about it." "– I need it now." "Welcome." "Come on in." "– 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?" "Do you want me to call the probate department and say you've trespassed and you're threatening me?" "Then we'll see how quickly you're back in the psychiatric ward." "So?" "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..." "Are you a good girl?" "Are you a good girl now?" "NORSJЦ CARPENTERS" "NORSJЦ 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... – In '66." "– Yes, in '66." "– 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 together." "But I guess honeymoons often are." "– But do you have some snapshots?" "– I sure do." "Who doesn't save the photos from their honeymoon?" "In the early years, my husband and I hiked a lot." "My husband was a skilled hiker." "We hiked for miles." "He wasn't exactly romantic." "Now, let's see." "Hedestad..." "Look." "So beautiful." "Even if the photo doesn't do the sunset justice." "Let's see." "Here's something." "– There was a parade." "– Do you?" "What are you doing here?" "I'm on my way out." "You've misunderstood the rules." "You have to make an appointment." "Do you hear me?" "Let me go." "Do you hear me?" "Let me go." "Do you like being tied up?" "Or is your only turn-on tying other people up?" "It's great." "Did you choose it yourself?" "You didn't?" "I think it's perfect." "You know that show where politicians get busted by candid cameras?" "We've got those cameras at work." "I had one in my bag last time I was here." "Welcome." "I just thought you'd make me give you a blowjob." "But you're sicker than I imagined." "It goes on for two hours." "Consider the reaction of the police and the media." "Enjoy." "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." "I'll look after my own account." "You'll have no access." "I control my own finances." "You got that?" "Each month you 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 video 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." "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."

"If it's any consolation, it wasn't me who cracked it." "We haven't found the last woman with the initials BJ." "She's circled as if she's particularly important." "It's the last reference." "If there's a woman with these initials who died in the 40's, 50's or 60's, we've got to find her." "Do you realise what this means?" "If the first murder took place in 1949, the man who's been sending Henrik flowers is now very old." "It reduces the number of suspects considerably." "Mikael." "We're glad you could make it." "Welcome." "Harald couldn't make it." "He's hunting deer." "To what do I owe the honour?" "Have you read the local paper recently?" "I've been out of town." "They're coming out with quite an interesting series on your exile here on Hedeby." "BLOMKVIST'S YOUNG NEW GIRLFRIEND" "– And?" "– We don't like it." "Henrik is dying" "My private life has nothing to do with my assignment for Henrik." "It reflects on everyone in the Vanger Group." "Haven't you done enough harm?" "Do you have to give Henrik a heart attack- by picking over my daughter's death?" "– Maybe it's about time you gave up." "– What do you mean?" "You're making matters worse by coming here with your whore." "Don't use that tone, Mom." "But maybe you should take a break now." "It's been a pretty hard deal." "– I'm needed here." "– Mikael, as your friend..." "Excuse me, but I have something to say." "Henrik signed a contract." "As long as he lives, it cannot be cancelled." "So whether Mikael likes it or not, he has to continue." "I'm sorry that it had to be so dramatic." "– Why are you wearing Harriet's necklace?" "– What do you mean?" "Harriet was wearing it when she disappeared." "Now you're wearing it." "What are you trying to say?" "Are you accusing me?" "Just tell me where you got it from." "I inherited it from Anita." "It never belonged to Harriet." "Anita, your sister?" "Hi, Micke." "Hi, Micke." "Everything all right?" "Anita is Harriet." "I was mistaken." "It's not her." "What are you talking about?" "They both looked after me that summer." "It's Anita's necklace." "Yes, it's Anita." "Shit, those two were so alike." "– What do we know about Anita Vanger?" "– Harriet's cousin and closest friend." "They were together each summer." "She had no alibi, but wasn't a suspect." "Right after Harriet's death, she moved to London to study." "She had a brilliant career, but died from breast cancer when she was 37." "She died 20 years ago." "She didn't tell Morell it was her in the window." "– Maybe she had something to hide." "– Maybe she was covering for the killer." "Hi, Plague." "I need help." "Will you run a check on Anita Vanger?" "– Plague?" "– If there is anything, he'll find it." "– What happened?" "– Some idiot shot at me." "– Did you see who?" "– No." "Shit." "We must be very close now." "And someone doesn't like it." "Give me my cell phone." "We have to call the police." "– What can they do?" "– Go get it." "Then I'm out of here." "Let's not jump to any conclusions." "It could be a hunting accident." "If it's not a hunting accident, then you're not safe here." "I think you should go home." "At least for a while." "Ever since I came here, everyone keeps asking me to leave." "Anything new on BJ?" "We didn't find a BJ in the system." "But we'll keep on searching." "Two cameras outside and fire in here connected to sensors." "I've got the cottage covered." "Fantastic." "I take it you don't want to go home?" "No." "So now we've got it on tape?" "Yes." "It's already on the internet." "– What are you doing?" "– Sorry?" "– Go sleep in your own bed." "– I want to be close to you." "Okay, but I want to sleep." "What has happened to you?" "How did you turn out this way?" "You know everything about me." "I don't know shit about you." "Not a damn thing." "That's the way it is." "– Who is it?" "– Morell." "I've found the last one." "Rebecka Jacobsson, nickname Bea." "BJ." "That's why we didn't find her." ""A man or a woman who is a medium or a spiritist among you must be put to death." "You are to stone them."" "It's her." "– Where was she killed?" "– In Karlstad." "But that's not the interesting part." "Rebecka worked for the Vanger Group until her death in January 1965." "As a secretary for Gottfried Vanger." "Gottfried died before Harriet disappeared." "So it wasn't him." "But we've got to check if she knew other members of the Vanger family." "– Hold on." "– What?" "Rebecka and Sara are Jewish names." "– Magda..." "– Magdalena." "Mari, Maria." "But Liv?" "Liv means Eve." "I bet that Liv Ingvartsson was Jewish as well." "Racist murders." "It fits with the pseudo religious rituals." "But what about Harriet?" "Harriet died because she discovered a pattern." "How the hell could we miss it?" "They're Jewish names." "There were three Nazis in the Vanger family." "Only one was still alive when Harriet died." "Harald." "Who happened to be hunting when you ran alone in the woods." "The first murder took place there in 1949." "Then Dalarna, Vilhelmina, Uppsala, Karlstad." "If Harald has been there, he's left traces." "– What do you mean?" "– The Vanger Group accounts." "Business travels." "There must be evidence." "Restaurant and hotel bills." "You think he got a tax deduction for murder?" "Well, I know about businessmen." "Even if we can prove he's been everywhere, it's not enough." "– Maybe he's hunting now." "– You suggest we break into his house?" "We need to go back quite a few years." "89... 89..." "We need the accounts from 1949 until 1966." "Thank Henrik for his old-fashioned business practices." "Otherwise, they would've been shredded long ago." "Well, there they all are, knock yourself out." "Miss Salander, what exactly have you found so far?" "Thank you, that was all." "IN THE NAME OF FЬHRER I BESTOW..." "What in God's name are you doing here?" "Answer me!" "Take it easy." "You're gonna write about me in your damn communist magazine?" "I'm leaving now." "Don't shoot." "You broke into my home, so I'm free to kill you." "What the hell is going on here?" "– Freeze!" "– Drop the gun, Harald." "– Come on, drop the gun." "– It's none of your business!" "Drop the gun." "Drop it." "Are you okay?" "How the hell could Gottfried have such a wuss of a son?" "Harald..." "No." "No." "– We've got to call Morell." "– We can call him from my place." "Harald's not going anywhere." "Come on." "Gottfried?" "Gottfried." "Uppsala 1964!" "January, February..." "Wasn't there a group photo?" "What the fuck?" "It can't be true." "Blue sweater..." "What the fuck?" "Shit." "Feeling better now?" "– He gave me a hell of a scare." "– You don't mess with Harald." "What were you doing in his house?" "Harriet discovered a handful of murders from the 40's to the 60's." "We know 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've all got Jewish names." "Well, Harald isn't exactly crazy about Abraham's kin." "No." "So I went to his house to see if I could find anything." "– And?" "– Well, what do I know?" "He turned up so soon." "But he didn't exactly act innocent." "If Lisbeth can track down his travel activities from the accounts, we've got 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." "Scream as much as you want to, Mikael." "Scream as much as you can." "You think anyone'll hear you?" "We both know how it's going to end for you." "Why?" "Why what?" "– All of this." "– Why not?" "I do what every man dreams of." "I take what I want." "How many women after the first?" "I don't know." "I've lost count." "I had a girl in that cage when we were dining upstairs." "Those kinds of women disappear all the time." "Nobody misses them." "Whores, immigrants." "What do you do with them?" "What about the references?" "The mutilations?" "That was my father's project." "He mixed his hobby with race and religion." "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 into 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." "You can't leave any witnesses." "Even though I have to admit I love seeing their disappointment." "– Disappointment?" "– When they realise 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 going to get away." "When the eyes switch off and die." "You'll experience that yourself." "And your sister?" "What did it feel like when your sister's eyes died?" "– Harriet disappeared." "– You want me to believe that?" "Believe whatever the hell you want." "I would have enjoyed killing her." "But she disappeared." "Just like you'll disappear." "Do you want some water?" "Yes, please." "Thanks." "You see..." "you're just like everybody else." "It only takes a simple, human gesture to ignite the 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, motherfucker." "Are you okay?" "Fuck!" "I can't..." "I can't..." "I can't move." "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 positive?" "What the hell did you do?" "He died in a car accident." "We don't know anything." "Okay?" "Blomkvist!" "– What the hell happened here?" "– The cellar." "What happened out there?" "He didn't die in an accident, did he?" "Damn, 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." "I would never have done that, Lisbeth." "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." "– 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?" "Two women bear the name Anita Vanger." "One of them died in London." "The other one lives in Australia." "First entry into the country in 1966." "Harriet?" "Harriet Vanger?" "Harriet Vanger?" "Everything's all 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." "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." "Hi, Mom." "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." "Let it be, Mom." "It was you he harmed." "Mom..." "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." "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 pressed him under the water till it got 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 get 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 say 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 hear this." "I hope you're doing okay." "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." "I've only got a month and a half left." "EVERYBODY'S GOT SECRETS" "Wennerstrцm's empire resembles a living, breathing organism..."
