"You came here to kill me." "You came here to kill me." "From precinct 80: the missing Niedermann has to be regarded as extremely dangerous." "Exercise extreme caution." "Status of patrols?" "81-20, over." "81-20, can you hear me?" "Over." "Eight, one, two, zero." "Can you hear me?" "Over." "Her name is Lisbeth Salander." "She is 27 years old." "In this edition of Millennium we reveal   how the Swedish government officials have conspired against her   to cover up a pathologically ill murderer:" "Alexander Zalachenko, a turncoat GRU agent from the Soviet Union." "In Sweden he has committed serious crimes:" "arms, drugs, money laundering, maltreatment." "Alexander Zalachenko is Lisbeth Salander's father." "This edition of Millennium is dedicated to her rehabilitation." "Hello." "Can you open your eyes?" "My name is Anders Jonasson." "I am the doctor here." "You are at the Sahlgrenska hospital in Göteborg." "Can you count to ten?" "One, two, three ..." "That's okay." "My text is about 40 to 50 pages long." "It will contain copied parts of Björck's investigation   to make it stronger, more convincing." "What image material do we have?" "– Not much." "We can get pictures of Gunnar Björck, Teleborian and Zalachenko." "And some of St Stephen's Hospital." "– Yes, and of Lisbeth." "It sounds like at least 75 pages." "– It may be more." "It will be good." "Can we find more names?" "– No, we must focus on what we have." "Let's hope that the publication will bring other names to light." "That will be only a matter of time, and then ..." "Let's get to work now." "The latest news: the police have mobilised extra troops after the murder near Gosseberga this morning." "A massive police force is looking for the perpetrator." "The police have identified him   as Ronald Niedermann, a 35 year old German." "According to the police he is armed and very dangerous." "I am looking for Fredrik Clinton." "– Who can I say that you are?" "Evert Gullberg, an old colleague." "Dad is sleeping, but come inside please." "Zalachenko will do what is best for him, whatever the consequences." "It is also about my reputation." "We cannot risk that he starts talking." "We need to silence him at any price." "We agree." "Like we usually do." "You can see in what condition I am." "Fredrik, we need you." "One last time." "I'm not able to help you." "Every other day I stay five hours   at the hospital for haemodialysis." "I will die soon!" "I cannot get a new kidney." "That's how it is, my friend." "Thank you, my dear." "– They are freshly baked." "I did not know you had a daughter." "No ..." "We don't know much about each other's private lives." "Although we have worked together   oh yes, more than 35 years." "What about Lisbeth Salander?" "The prosecution has already started." "What do we do with her?" "Hello Lisbeth." "How's it going?" "Do you remember me?" "Anders Jonasson is my name." "I understand if you're tired." "You were shot in the head." "We managed to remove the bullet." "It has not damaged any vital parts, as far as we know." "You also had gunshot wounds in your right shoulder and left hip." "But it will heal nicely." "What about brain damage?" "Brain injuries are complex and sometimes difficult to see." "Do not worry." "The police want to talk to you." "But I said no because of your condition" "They will surely return, but right now I will not let them inside." "Did Zalachenko survive?" "He has been patched up and is stable." "But he is rather badly mauled." "Damn." "I was wondering when you would show up." "We have discussed how we can help you." "But to develop a strategy, we must first hear your version." "How should the strategy look like?" "We will find a way out together." "However, it will be hard to keep you out of prison completely." "Gee, do you think?" "We will help you with a lawyer and everything else you need." "But you must cooperate and give us some guarantees." "Niedermann ..." "Niedermann is the scapegoat." "It was he who shot Lisbeth." "There are serious allegations against you which can be difficult to overcome." "That's your problem   it's entirely your problem." "If you do not solve it   I will contact the press." "I have names, dates, events ..." "everything." "I can crush all of you completely." "I am a survivor, you ought to know now." "Zalachenko, you do not understand ..." "– It is you who doesn't understand!" "This conversation is over." "Just one more thing." "Lisbeth ..." "What is wrong with her?" "– She has to be put out of the way, understood?" "Good." "Good ..." "Hello." "Excuse me for being late." "My sister has arrived." "We'll talk later." "Is there no one at home?" "– No." "However, Micke, she tried to beat her father to death with an axe." "And that's attempted murder." "Or self-defence." "But she has been arrested for attempted murder on Zalachenko, or what?" "Therefore she will need a criminal lawyer." "You know the rights of women." "Lisbeth and her mother were exposed to mistreatment and abuse   by Zalachenko and by the authorities." "It started long before Gosseberga." "Here are documents that confirm it." "A copy of the investigation, consolidated by an agent of the Security Service:" "Gunnar Björck." "It proves how illegal it was to lock up a twelve-year-old girl at St Stephen's   and to silence her." "Is this confidential?" "Just tell them you have it from a journalist who doesn't want to reveal the origin." "You really want to go that far for Lisbeth Salander, don't you?" "Yes." "SJ's X2000 No. 429 from Stockholm has arrived at track number 6." "I do not need a lawyer." "You will be accused of attempted murder on your father." "Micke thinks that they will try to put you in a closed psychiatric hospital again   so you will need a lawyer." "However, you can choose a different one." "If you don't want the court to appoint a public lawyer." "Does your silence mean that I have to go?" "You decide." "Do you have a cigarette?" "Do you have a nicotine patch?" "– Yes, one moment please." "I got this copy of Micke." "You know what it contains, don't you?" "We will need to talk with each other a lot." "So, I want you to be completely honest with me." "Micke told me most of it, but on some matters he wants you   to decide what you want to tell." "I assume you know what he means." "It is something with computers and a DVD disc." "After everything we've done for you through all the years   you are threatening us." "That's a big risk." "I am a survivor." "I do what I think is necessary to survive." "No, you do it because you are an evil and wicked man without honour." "Without morality." "I came here to give you our message." "We will not help you this time." "So there!" "I have no choice." "Don't you understand that?" "Life has taught me that there always exists a choice." "Idiots." "Idiots." "I crush you." "– You will not do anything." "No, lie still." "Please!" "I will see what's going on." "Get out!" "He has a gun!" "What's going on?" "Hurry!" "Wait, I'm coming." "Hold me tight." "Hold on to me." "Hold on to me tight!" "He pulled the door, but could not open it." "It was so unreal." "An old man with a gun." "Then I heard the shot when he killed himself." "Are you sure that he tried to get hold of Lisbeth?" "Yes, it was awful!" "I have never been so scared." "Shall I come down?" "– No." "That's not necessary." "I will stay with my friend Vera Åkerlund in Kålltorp." "Press conference at police HQ at 3PM." "– I'll have to run." "Take care of yourself." "– Yes." "We'll talk later." "– Yes." "Bye." "Why did the police not set a better watch?" "Absolutely incredible." "You wouldn't think such things could happen here." "To go armed into a hospital department and kill a patient, is really unbelievable!" "Well I never!" "Fredrik?" "What in the world happened?" "Come please, come inside." "We're trying to obtain information about it now." "What time was it?" "Find out." "What the hell?" "Do you know what happened?" "– Zalachenko has been shot." "It seems Evert Gullberg shot him." "It's chaos down there." "Until now nothing has been confirmed." "Then I will confirm it." "It was Evert who shot him." "It was quite as planned." "Should I arrange coffee or something?" "– No, not now." "What the hell are you talking about?" "What plans?" "Gullberg had only a few months left to live." "He had liver cancer." "He chose to make one last effort for us." "He passed away with honour." "Did you know he would kill him?" "– Of course." "His mission was to silence Zalachenko." "And Salander, like it was planned." "Are you as fucking deranged as Gullberg?" "Watch your tongue, Hallberg." "It was the right decision." "We did what was necessary." "– Necessary?" "Decision?" "You and Gullberg had no mandate to take any decision at all, damn it!" "Whatever happens:" "Zalachenko's death will never be related to us." "Nor Evert Gullberg's." "Our task is to take decisions   that no one else dares." "Least of all politicians." "It's that simple." "One more thing ..." "I will return to service." "I will lead the operational activities   until this crisis is over." "The man who fired the deadly shot and later took his own life   has been identified as a 78-year-old pensioner." "He has worked as an accountant and tax lawyer." "What was his name?" "– We do not want to tell right now." "Is there a connection with Lisbeth Salander?" "We can firmly deny a possible link with Lisbeth Salander." "It seemed to be a single assailant who has acted   based upon his own paranoid imagination." "He has sent confusing messages, including to famous politicians and media   with death threats against Alexander Zalachenko." "The Security Service has analysed it, but the man was probably mentally ill." "So from the police press conference   we return to the incidents at Sahlgrenska hospital in Göteborg." "No!" "Feeding?" "– Indeed." "Salisbury steak today." "Go ahead." "– Thank you." "Lisbeth?" "Lisbeth?" "Do you need help?" "– No thanks." "Eat properly now." "I have a suggestion." "I do not drive home." "I have booked a room." "Will you stay overnight?" "I'm completely exhausted." "I slept poorly on the editorial shit." "Then we just sleep." "It is the fourth time that car is standing there." "Are you sure?" "– Yes." "How would you propose to solve this?" "– We could not anticipate everything." "The guarding of the hospital has been tightened." "– Fucking thanks for that!" "How the hell are you going to avoid a trial now?" "I do not think we can." "Only locked doors and a psychiatric assessment will confine her." "She must be punished for the attempted murder of Zalachenko   and admitted to closed psychiatric care." "And why not here at St Stephen's?" "– Yes." "For no other reason as for her own sake." "What is the name of the prosecutor?" "Ekström." "Not a star, but ambitious." "We can handle him." "And what about the copies of Björck's investigation?" "– We gather them in now." "There you should well be capable of." "You worry too much." "And that blond muscleman who worked for Zalachenko?" "What happened to him?" "– Ronald Niedermann." "He is on the run." "It's just a matter of time." "He is Lisbeth Salander's half-brother." "Zalachenko had an affair with a woman in Hamburg." "It looks like a goddamned Greek tragedy." "Zalachenko tried to shoot his daughter with the help of her brother." "Then she returned from the dead   to put an axe in her father's head." "Yes, you might think of it that way." "You will hear from me." "See you again, Vera." "Bye." "Hey!" "Give back my bag!" "Give me my bag!" "What the hell ... !" "Someone on a scooter snatched my bag." "What?" "How are you then?" "Are you okay?" "I am fine." "But Björck's investigation was in the bag." "Don't worry." "I'll make a copy." "Annika, I'll call you again." "Milton Security, Armanskij." "This is Mikael Blomkvist." "I need your help." "What is the problem?" "– Someone has broken into my house." "We can help you with that." "Can I call you from my office?" "Of course, call me with your mobile." "– Okay, bye." "The indictment against Lisbeth Salander is not complicated." "Even if the plaintiff Zalachenko is dead." "However, if everything about Zalachenko comes out, then it's going to be a very complicated trial." "It is about human lives, about our relationship with a foreign power   and the secret contacts of the Security Service." "Yes, I've read the report as background material." "For the prosecution of Lisbeth Salander the report has little relevance   and the Director of Public Prosecutions has confiscated it." "Nevertheless, parts of it are useful." "Especially where Lisbeth Salander tried to assassinate her father in the past." "I will see if you can have access to that part." "Yes, it might be beneficial." "Then I will take care that you get it." "Who is your boss?" "My orders come from the very top." "This means that you cannot talk to anyone about this but me." "I will be very discreet." "Anders Jonasson?" "– Yes." "My name is Peter Teleborian." "I am a physician at St Stephen's psychiatric clinic in Uppsala." "I need to talk to you." "It is about one of your patients, Lisbeth Salander." "I see ..." "– Well ... okay." "I have been dealing with her since she was twelve years old   and I have a very good understanding of her clinical picture." "How does it look like?" "– Lisbeth is seriously mentally disturbed." "She has obvious delusions with paranoid and schizophrenic features." "And like all sociopaths she completely lacks empathy." "To put it simply." "I perceive her as a closed person, but not as a paranoid sociopath." "She is extremely manipulative, which is part of the disease picture." "She shows what she thinks you want to see." "As you will understand, I feel great concern about her mental condition." "Yes, I understand." "I'll have to see her to assess her condition before the trial." "I cannot help you with that." "I am responsible for Lisbeth." "She is not strong enough to meet someone else than her lawyer." "I have the prosecutor's decision to meet with her." "I had hoped to avoid being formal, but now I suppose I'll have to be." "As a doctor you should know that it's my assessment that applies   regardless of prosecutor decisions." "Therefore, you will have to be patient and wait until I change my assessment." "Well ..." "I had hoped for a more professional response." "Can we rule out that the government has known about it?" "They must have known that a Russian spy defected to Sweden." "We had a conservative government in '76 when Zalachenko defected." "30 years and nothing has leaked out." "It could not be kept secret, if a lot of politicians were aware of it." "A lot of them write biographies now." "The same goes for the Security Service." "It would have leaked out sooner or later." "There must be a small secret group acting on their own." "With substantial resources and influence." "If nobody has leaked about the group in 30 years, where do we start digging?" "The best thing we have is Evert Gullberg." "If we find out more about him, there is a chance we are getting somewhere." "However, it must not take too long or Millennium will be in trouble." "The magazine must be out simultaneously with the trial." "Look at this, please." "How am I doing?" "– You are clearly improving." "I will ensure that you get help to get started with training." "I do not need help." "– You do." "Don't scratch the scab." "Moreover, you should eat better." "You should do something about the food." "The food?" "– Get me a pizza or something like that." "I doubt the budget is sufficient for pizza." "A Dr Peter Teleborian wanted to meet you." "He said that you had contact in the past." "Anyway, he had to leave empty-handed." "Good ..." "This is apparently for you." "Hello." "We were at the hospital the same night Lisbeth Salander was brought in." "Yes, I do remember." "– I want to talk to you about something." "I will not disclose information about Lisbeth Salander." "No, I want to give you information about Lisbeth." "Important information." "A conspiracy like that ... sorry, but it sounds very unlikely." "I understand that you see it that way, but I assure you: everything is true." "Everything can be documented and I will publish the whole story." "I built Lisbeth's defence for her trial." "That's why I am here." "I'm going to ask you only about one thing." "– What?" "Lisbeth has secrets." "Private ones." "She may need them for her defence." "To access the evidence she will need this." "The prosecutor has imposed restrictions." "– That's why I ask you." "Hi, how are you doing?" "– Fine." "May I examine you a little?" "– Yes." "Let's have a look ..." "Do you feel any pain?" "– No." "What about headaches?" "– Not bad." "They are disappearing gradually." "– That's good." "The Stockholm police have called again." "Hans Faste was his name." "He presented himself as leader of investigation." "He wanted to come here and interrogate you." "Can you bend your head slightly backwards?" "Not too far." "I was a little annoyed that they are so persistent." "I cannot refer to your medical condition much longer." "You are improving rapidly." "Do you understand?" "I told him that you need a couple of weeks more to rehabilitate." "You will then be moved to jail in Stockholm." "I saw the tattoo on your back." "It seems quite large." "Why did you get it done?" "– Why do you ask?" "Pure curiosity." "– For private reasons I will not mention." "Okay." "Sorry." "It must have hurt and taken time." "Yes, it did both." "Excuse me." "Hello Lisbeth." "With this you can tell your version of what happened." "Your autobiography." "Annika doesn't know that you have your PDA now, and it's better to keep it that way." "Should I give her the DVD?" "We also need to know more about Teleborian." "I live in your apartment." "Mine is guarded and perhaps bugged." "Murder suspect Lisbeth Salander will be transferred from Sahlgrenska in Göteborg   to Kronoberg prison in Stockholm as soon as her condition allows." "The police spokesman stated this." "The trial is scheduled for the beginning of November this year." "Plague, are you there?" "It's okay to give the DVD to Annika." "However, I will write about the rape myself." "I have contacted Plague about Teleborian." "He will contact you if he finds something." "I have links to the government." "Guess who visited the Prime Minister at the Cabinet Office on October 5, 1976?" "No bids?" "Evert Gullberg and a person named Hans von Rottinger." "They were there three weeks after Zalachenko defected." "How did you find out?" "– I checked the visitor's book." "There was only one visit, on October 5, 1976." "Well done, Christer." "Nevertheless, it must be proved that they were there to provide information on Zalachenko." "Were there any notes?" "– No, just names and dates." "How do we proceed?" "– We must check the Secretaries of State." "Two people who worked there might know something." "– Do we have any names?" "One is dead and the other one is a retired ambassador." "His name is Bengt Janeryd and he lives outside Grisslehamn." "We should have a chat with him." "– Good." "I'll take care of that." "I know the case better than you do, so I am more dangerous to him." "It's just what I say." "– Yes, I heard what you said ..." "Address?" "Okay." "And you   well done!" "You must have understood that Gullberg has shot Zalachenko, right?" "Did you read it in the newspapers?" "– Yes." "Why didn't you call the cops?" "– I waited for them to call." "That sounds a little convenient." "– I knew nothing about his daughter." "What she suffered is terrible." "However, the prime minister was not aware of it." "Neither was I." "You'd better convince me and the Millennium readers about that." "I forbid you to use my name in this context." "I didn't have anything to do with it." "What I read here is new to me." "You have read only some of the material we will publish." "We have a lot more." "Everything can be proved." "I will not hang you out, but you have a responsibility and a liability." "So either you tell me now, or you keep hiding behind your confidentiality." "That's what I call blackmail." "– Call it whatever you want." "If you talk, I promise you not to mention your name." "Did the prime minister have contact with Evert Gullberg and Hans von Rottinger?" "Did you also contact them?" "– Yes." "There was one more, named Clinton, like the American president." "Clinton?" "– Yes." "How often did you meet?" "A dozen times during my time as a Secretary of State." "I didn't know anything." "Only that Zalachenko collaborated   and that the information he gave was invaluable." "Who took over the connection then?" "I do not know." "You did not submit to anyone?" "– No." "And you didn't write any report?" "No, everything was top secret, of course." "I even didn't take notes during meetings." "So, no subsequent government had any idea   that there was a Soviet defector in Sweden?" "It might sound strange, but that's how it was." "What's up?" "– We have a problem." "I have checked Teleborian's hard disk an e-mail but found nothing." "Nothing?" "– Nothing about you or the trial." "The only thing that might be interesting are two short e-mails   sent by Jonas through Hotmail." ""PSU 1 ready next week"." "It is from September 20 this year." "The second is equally brief:" ""PSU 2 ready tomorrow"." "PSU?" "Psychiatric opinion?" "Yes, it could be." "No files?" "– No." "He did not send anything from his work computer." "He probably has a laptop with mobile broadband." "It may be difficult to access." "– But not impossible?" "At the right time, anything is possible." "I will keep an eye on his mailbox." "– Do it." "But don't call me again." "Send me an SMS or e-mail." "– Okay, bye." "Damn it!" "Hello, Mikael Blomkvist." "I am Monica Figuerola, constitutional protection department." "Yes?" "– I would like to invite you for a talk." "It is a friendly invitation." "You don't risk anything." "Can I get my mail first?" "– Of course." "And a pair of clean underpants?" "– Absolutely." "Torsten Edklinth, constitutional protection department." "Blomkvist." "– Please, take a seat." "You probably understand why we want to meet you." "So let's get to the point." "We have received confirmation that there exists a secret group, a conspiracy   in an exceptionally sensitive area of state administration." "My meeting with the prime minister yesterday evening has resulted in a full investigation." "Which means ... ?" "A complete investigation." "The result will go to the General Prosecutor, who will decide whether prosecution should be instituted." "However, we need time to identify who are involved." "I understand that." "Where do I have a part in it?" "We want to know when you plan to publish." "If it takes place before the investigation is completed, it could jeopardise the whole operation." "When do you think that I can publish?" "Of course we cannot determine yet." "It is all up to you, but I ask you to cooperate." "Let me tell you this ..." "The state, the government, the Secret Service:" "they all piss me off   and all the other fucking assholes who locked up a twelve-year-old girl   in a mental hospital, for no reason at all, and kept her legally incompetent." "I myself am very upset about what happened to Lisbeth Salander." "But those who are responsible will be punished." "But until then, we must identify who is involved." "That's exactly what I want as well." "But I also want to get Lisbeth Salander acquitted and be declared legally competent." "Of course there will be no intervention by us nor of the government, as you will understand." "Provided that I will get full access to the results of your investigation   you can tell me what to publish and when." "Information in exchange for information." "This can be solved quite easily." "We decide which co-workers we recruit for the investigation." "We can recruit Mikael Blomkvist as an external consultant." "Evert Gullberg." "Do you have any other names?" "Hans von Rottinger, Frederick Clinton." "One is dead, the other has retired." "Both were active in the group during the '70 and '80s. – Group?" "Can we give it a working title?" "Maybe we should call it "the Section"." "The Section?" "Okay." "How did you find out about them?" "I have a reliable source." "Should it come up with the working title?" "– Absolutely, I agree with that." "I was strapped onto the bed." "Peter Teleborian stood next to the bed." "He smelled of aftershave." "I hated his smell." "I heard his breathing change and saw his mouth move." "But I didn't perceive what he said." "I hated his mouth." "It was the night I became 13 years old." "Niedermann is your brother." "Come on Buster, search!" "Yes, search." "– 80-1651, come in." "Come in, 1651." "We have searched the lower floor." "It's empty." "Someone has broken into the house next-door, but the police are present." "You need something to help you fall asleep?" "Lisbeth tried several times to tell the social services   about Zalachenko's abuse of her mother   but nobody took the ten-year-old girl's accusations seriously." "To save her mother Lisbeth eventually tried to kill her father   by throwing a milk carton with gasoline onto his face   and then a burning match." "Then society reacted." "But not by punishing Alexander Zalachenko." "Instead, Lisbeth was punished." "Twelve years old, she was locked up at St Stephen's psychiatric hospital in Uppsala." "When she came out, she was declared legally incompetent and placed under trusteeship." "It's me." "Teleborian will meet with Jonas at four o'clock in the centre." "What time is it now?" "– Nearly half past three." "Damn it!" "Hello." "I will take some blood tests." "– I just need to go to the toilet." "Yes, Christer." "– I'm in the middle of the staircase." "Yes, I see you now." "I'm just below." "I see Teleborian in the centre of the hall." "Christer, go ahead." "I will stay here." "Okay." "You should see him soon." "Black jacket." "I see him now." "He stands there and waits." "Keep an eye on him, but not too close." "– No, I'm just watching him." "Someone is coming." "It must be Jonas." "Grey jacket, middle-aged." "I do not recognise him." "Now they are leaving." "Should I hang on?" "– Yes, follow them!" "They go out to Vasagatan." "– Keep following them." "Mikael here." "Teleborian is meeting someone who works for the Section." "Okay, where?" "– At Vasagatan." "Are you coming?" "Okay." "Yes, I'm coming." "Hi." "– Hello." "They are there." "Mikael here." "– They are leaving now." "Follow Teleborian." "We will follow the other one." "Monica here." "I need information on a car." "Guess who went through the same door four hours ago." "Fredrik Clinton." "Teleborian's statement?" "– It's a draft." "It needs to be edited, but it looks good." "Did Teleborian go from a meeting with Jonas Sandberg of the Section   to a meeting at the police station?" "With whom?" "– We'll find out." "Jonas Sandberg joined the security department in 1998." "For counter-espionage." "In 2001 he was transferred to a secret location abroad." "He should be working at the embassy in Madrid, but they have never heard of him." "These are the Section's properties." "A block of apartments, six floors, 23 flats." "I have checked all tenants but nothing unusual came out." "Additionally there is the top flat." "11 rooms and a kitchen." "A company named Bellona owns it." "The owners live abroad." "Can we get a camera up there?" "– Do we have permission for that?" "I will get permission for that, if you manage to get a pot of tea." "Never mind, I'll take one at home." "Hello." "– Hi." "Am I disturbing you?" "– Yes." "I'll be back." "– I have nearly finished it." "I just wanted to warn you that the police are coming tomorrow." "Okay." "I could protract a couple of days, but   my colleagues would wonder." "– So let it be." "Are you sure?" "– Yes." "You do not seem particularly worried." "– No." "I have a present for you." "Why?" "You have been one of my most entertaining patients in a long time." "In case you should get bored in jail ..." "The latest clamour against DNA research." "Your mobile phone ..." "– It's in the chocolate box." "Teleborian writes an expert opinion." "He will conclude that you need guarded psychiatric care." "The prosecutor has requested it." "So, we'll have to hire our own expert who will come with his own opinion." "Lisbeth, it's for your own good." "I will not talk to any shrink." "I have already said that." "I hope they will fit." "The only one who will lose by it, is you." "Lisbeth ..." "Make room for Lisbeth Salander." "How are you, Salander?" "– Lisbeth ..." "Do you have any comments?" "Today murder suspect Lisbeth Salander has been transferred under police escort   from Sahlgrenska in Göteborg to Kronoberg prison in Stockholm." "According to prosecutor Richard Ekström the trial   has been scheduled for November 6." "Lisbeth Salander has been accused   on suspicion of attempted murder of her father, Alexander Zalachenko   who was brutally murdered at Sahlgrenska Hospital later on." "There will be increased security in connection with the trial   after threats occurred during the police investigation." "Sonny?" "When the hell did you get out?" "– This morning." "Magge too?" "– No, he'll have to stay a little longer." "Good to see you again." "The police conducted a raid the day you were arrested." "They found nothing." "Later on that blond bastard passed by and wanted a hideaway   you know: your and Magge's buddy." "He is not my buddy, damn it!" "He is wanted in the whole of Sweden." "So that's why he needed a hideout." "I have sent him to Viktor's place." "Fuck ..." "Sonny!" "What the hell ..." "Jenny ..." "Jenny!" "Jenny!" "Jenny?" "It's me, Sonny." "Who was it?" "Nied ..." "Niedermann." "Viktor, Viktor ..." "Niedermann ..." "He will fucking die for this." "He will fucking die for this!" ""Lisbeth Salander's autobiography" ..." "Can anyone prove what's written there?" "– Impossible." "They don't have any proof." "Blomkvist is no fool." "Nor is Erika Berger." "We must address it more thoroughly to get hold of them." "Press the green button." "We do not have much time." "We must increase the pressure." "Who's turn is it today?" "– It's Malin's, right?" "Hi." "How's it going?" "You want sushi?" "– No fish." "Chicken teriyaki for me." "Are you going to have lunch, Micke?" "– No, I don't have time." "Okay." "Erika, eight pieces?" "Can I replace the battery with yours?" "Mine is flat." "Micke ... have a look." "It's someone anonymous." "I think it's from the same sender as last time." "Have you got many?" "– I got one last week." "Why didn't you say anything?" "– I didn't take it seriously." "We keep it between us." "Let's talk more about it later today." "May I take it then?" "– Take it." "Would you like to have eight pieces?" "– I'm not so hungry today." "I will skip a meal." "You have to be at the hearing." "Well, so we finally meet." "Ekström, prosecutor." "We may well see this initial meeting more like a conversation than as an interrogation." "A way to bring some order in the complicated story." "I'm assuming that you don't have anything against it." "The charges against you are serious." "However, as a prosecutor I have to take into account all mitigating circumstances." "It is important that you are aware of that, for your own sake." "This is a simple question." "Answer yes or no." "When you went to Gosseberga to meet your daddy   did you already have plans then to kill him?" "Then I will ask the lawyer again to try to make Salander respond." "Then I repeat that my client decides whether she wants to answer." "I must ask the lawyer to have a serious conversation with Miss Salander." "I say this for her own sake." "Well ..." "I was surprised that she was so small and delicate, like a little girl." "The trial begins at the 13th." "Then the magazine has to be ready." "We need to press the week before." "How will we be able to do that?" "– We must help each other." "You and Malin write about Teleborian's background and a bit about St Stephen's." "Approximately 30 pages." "Is that okay?" "Yes, that's fine." "– Good." "Well ..." "Then there is another thing." "I have received two anonymous e-mails   during the past week, of which you should know about." "Threats?" "Shit!" "Which damned fool has sent them?" "Did you notify the police about it?" "– I don't want the police here." "It is a serious threat towards Erika." "We take it very seriously." "But I don't want to have the cops here at the office." "So, you just want to ignore it?" "– That's not what I say." "I will solve it my way." "– How?" "The police will not care about it." "They don't give a shit!" "Please, stop!" "My God!" "I didn't get more of them, and no harm has been done." "So let's forget about it." "Next item." "– 30 pages." "What about Lisbeth Salander?" "– She's doing fine, under the circumstances." "What do you say about the accusations?" "– No comment." "You've got to defend her and surely must have something to say." "Hello my sweethearts." "You're sitting here?" "Sorry I'm late." "Good that you had food already." "I'm sure you will enjoy this." "It's Lisbeth's autobiography." "What?" "When did she write it?" "That doesn't matter." ""Bjurman"?" "Is that Lisbeth's guardian?" "What is this?" "– It's a movie." "Have a look at it yourself." "Lisbeth approved to use it during the trial, if it comes in handy." "You want some?" "Is Lisbeth Salander healthy now?" "– Yes, she can be interrogated now." "Physically she is fine." "– But maybe not mentally?" "It is known that Lisbeth Salander has been treated in mental hospital for several years." "You think that Lisbeth Salander is still mentally ill?" "I'm not able to diagnose her case." "I have asked for a psychiatric investigation to find the answer." "Who will be the doctor?" "– Peter Teleborian." "He is chief psychiatrist at St Stephen's hospital." "Peter Teleborian ..." "what a surprise." "Christer?" "Is it from the same sender?" "– Yes." ""It's getting worse now." "For all of you"." "Is that about us?" "Has Micke already tried to trace the sender?" "– He called somebody." "That didn't help much." "We must call and report it." "We cannot wait for something to happen." "– I want to talk to Mikael first." "I will call him right now." "– No." "I am the responsible publisher." "Moreover, I am the one who received those e-mails." "I will not act behind Mikael's back." "We must stick together." "And be united." "Especially now." "I'll call Mikael." "Mikael Blomkvist." "I cannot reply now, but please leave a message." "Micke, where the hell are you?" "I've received another e-mail." "Now it's not just about me." "It feels extremely uncomfortable." "Call me back!" "Hello Lisbeth." "You should know that I am sorry that you got into this situation." "I'll try to help you in all possible ways." "I hope that we can cooperate, you and me." "I thought we got acquainted pretty good, you and me." "During that time." "You were a stubborn   and extremely difficult to treat twelve-year-old girl." "You bit my finger once." "Do you remember?" "You never understood that touch may be part of the treatment   and that it creates closeness and trust." "This applies in particular to children." "Do you realise that I am the person   who has the greatest potential to help you?" "Don't you?" "Hi." "Are you still here?" "– I called your cellphone several times." "I was writing and had it turned off." "The same sender." "Christer tried to call the police today." "But I stopped him." "We must solve this right now, Mikael." "You and I are running the magazine." "We have responsibilities towards our employees." "It is not just about you and me now." "I've contacted one of Lisbeth's hacker buddies, Plague." "So we don't have to report it to the police?" "If anyone can find the sender, then it's him, but it takes time." "It goes faster than the police do." "Are we talking about days?" "Or weeks?" "Frankly spoken:" "I do not know." "If we assume that Millennium has something to publish   what can they possibly have then?" "The worst-case scenario is that they have a copy of Björck's investigation." "But they may not know anything about our business." "Nevertheless, he has high credibility." "And the same goes for the magazine." "Maybe we could reduce the credibility somehow?" "Anyway   we have to put an end to this, once and for all." "She called us quarter past three in the night." "She had locked herself up in a room upstairs." "We were there 20 minutes later." "– Did you find any tracks?" "The police took care of that." "We have installed alarms in the house now." "Erika told me about those e-mails." "They are probably linked with what happened last night." "My contact is trying to track them down." "I do not want to involve the police." "You should do that now." "It's about physical threats towards you and Erika." "Towards me?" "– Yes, even towards you." "The silent alarm in your apartment went off last night." "We were there in 17 minutes." "When we searched the apartment   we found 180 grams of cocaine hidden in one of your loudspeakers   and 120,000 Swedish crowns in cash in your wardrobe." "What the hell?" "!" "– They try to double-cross you." "Since they cannot hit the magazine." "Is it still there?" "– Only the money." "The cocaine has been taken away." "I have to call Erika." "– I think she's asleep." "Erika." "– It's me." "I know what has happened." "It sucks!" "I want to see you." "Can I come?" "– No, don't come here." "We will talk about it later." "I want to see you now." "– I have to sleep a few hours." "At three o'clock then?" "At Samir's Gryta?" "Will you come or not?" "– At three o'clock." "I will come." "Good." "Bye." "– Bye." "I'll print those three pages." "Have you heard anything from Erika?" "I talked to her." "She felt bad last night and wanted to sleep during the day." "How is she now?" "– Better." "Damn, I've got to go." "Has she got more e-mail?" "We've really done a great job with this edition, all of us." "Shall we have a beer later?" "– No, I have a meeting at Samir." "There is uncertainty about how many of these people   are connected to the Section's activities." "After all, there may be more of them we do not know yet." "We have identified the key persons and they will be arrested in a coordinated action." "More information about this later." "It is ten to three now." "We pause now and meet here again in an hour." "Has something happened today?" "– Clinton has been on dialysis." "The other ones were coming and going." "Jonas Sandberg is probably the only one who has been social." "At 10.30 he met with two persons at a pizzeria in Bredäng." "Whom did he meet?" "– I do not know them." "They looked like Eastern European guys." "– Those are the brothers Nikolic." "Tomi and Miro Nikolic." "From Serbia, but they have been living in Huddinge." "Very unpleasant types." "Sharpshooters during the Civil War." "Miro is wanted for assault, but of course they live in Serbia most of the time, so ..." "Mikael ..." "Hello, Samir." "Sorry I'm late." "How are you?" "– What do you think?" "Why didn't you call last night?" "– What could you have done?" "I called Milton Security because I needed help." "We have to withdraw, Micke." "Samir's Gryta on Söder." "Connect me quickly, please." "I have stopped the magazine and I have called the printing office." "This also regards Malin's and Christer's safety." "Did you call the printing office?" "– I don't want to take the responsibility." "It's too dangerous." "– Damn it ..." "Micke, there's a call for you." "– No, not now." "They say that it's very important." "Excuse me." "Get down!" "They are shooting!" "– We take a shortcut." "What the hell!" "Get down!" "Police!" "Police!" "Show your hands!" "Now!" "Police!" "Show your hands!" "How are you?" "Are you okay?" "Here, to wipe yourself off." "– How are you?" "Get Blomkvist and Berger out as fast as possible." "We walk out through the kitchen!" "The two police officers were eating at the restaurant   and recognised the brothers, of which one is wanted for assault." "Gunfire broke out when they wanted to arrest them, but no one was injured." "The two brothers are now suspected of attempted murder." "Damn it!" "Goddamn!" "I talked to Christer and Malin." "They cannot stay at the office now." "– No ..." "We could have been killed today." "Both of us." "There is no job that is worth dying for." "No." "We do not know if they just wanted to kill you, Mikael, or Erika as well." "But the idea was that the police would find drugs and money   and associate it with a Yugoslav drug settlement." "What about the others at the office?" "– We close the office a couple of days." "We will also postpone the publication of the magazine." "Then I suggest personal protection for you and Erika." "No, I don't want anyone following me." "We'll see how things will develop now." "– Did you have contact with her?" "What's going to happen?" "I will insist on a psychiatric care for Lisbeth Salander   and secondly a long prison sentence." "Shouldn't that be the other way round?" "Yes, but in this case   the psychiatric report is so explicit   that I have no alternative." "Thank you very much." "The trial of Lisbeth Salander starts here in Stockholm's District Court   at 1 p.m., in about an hour." "It is expected to last three days, for a large audience, as you can see." "During preliminary investigation the police and the prosecutor   have given information to the media, while the defence has refused ..." "My God." "Is it time?" "I did not sleep one hour last night." "– Everything will be fine." "Of course ... !" "It will go well." "Indeed!" "– Thank you." "See you later." "Bye-bye." "A little more, a little more." "I can only regret   that Lisbeth Salander didn't say a single word during the seven hearings." "However, that fact does not weaken any of the charges." "Thank you." "Then I give the floor to the lawyer." "Thank you." "From the defence side we reject all the charges." "We will prove that the prosecutor's claims are incorrect   and that my client has been exposed to serious legal violations." "I will demand that my client will be declared innocent   that her guardianship will be abolished and that she will be released immediately." "Thank you." "Does the prosecutor have something to add?" "For several reasons I propose that this trial will be conducted behind closed doors." "The case is about the mental condition and the welfare of a vulnerable person   and about material that is classified as confidential   and in some areas may affect national security." "We'll talk tonight." "That looks good." "I will start with an effort to bring some clarity   about why you went to Gosseberga   to try to kill your father, Alexander Zalachenko." "Should we interpret your silence as a statement that you will not answer questions?" "I would gladly like to answer questions." "Then maybe you can answer the question." "I have not heard any question." "I asked if you went to Gosseberga with the intention to kill your father." "No, you said you wanted to try to shed light   on why I went to Gosseberga in an attempt to kill my father." "That was a general statement by which you anticipated my answer." "Answer the question." "– No." ""No" what?" "– That's the answer to the question." "Did you put an axe into the your father's head?" "Yes." "He was seriously injured and I argue that this is attempted murder." "What is your view?" "Those were two allegations." "On which one should I have an opinion?" "If the axe you put into the head of your father was attempted murder." "That was not attempted murder." "It was self-defence." "Thank you." "Tell me if you need anything." "Can you get cigarettes?" "– Forget it." "Thank you." "Hello." "– Hi." "How does it feel to be guarded?" "– Well, not bad." "As long as they stay outside." "Erika ..." "I couldn't do it." "You are an egoist." "And an idiot." "I will stay at home this week." "And next week." "I want to be sure that I made the right decision." "Well ..." "Is it about us or Millennium?" "About both   I think." "You'll hear from me." "Take care of yourself." "Damn it." "Salander, it's time." "Lisbeth Salander's so-called autobiography   lacks any credibility." "There are a number of allegations against different people   each one more absurd than the other." "Everything is an expression ... of paranoid schizophrenia Lisbeth Salander is suffering from." "Can you give an example?" "The most obvious is the portrayal of rape   of which – like she alleges – ... her guardian, advocate Bjurman, would be guilty of." "The whole story, with all the details   is a classic example of the grotesque fantasies   which children tend to exhibit." "But now Lisbeth Salander is not a child anymore, she is an adult woman." "It still remains to be decided   on what exact mental level she is now." "However, in principle you are right." "I understand." "In 1993 Lisbeth Salander underwent forced admission at St Stephen's hospital." "During the years she lived there, you were responsible for her." "Is that correct?" "– Yes." "How many days did she lie tied up?" "In other words: clamped to the bed." "I cannot quite remember." "But not very many." "How many approximately?" "Possibly ... thirty times." "But I don't understand the relevance of this question." "Lisbeth Salander herself claims it was 381 days." "That is pure fantasy." "It doesn't make any sense." "So tell me, did she not lie tied up more than one year   of the two years she lived there?" "– Of course not." "The defence has repeatedly tried to get Lisbeth Salander's dossier   about the years of her forced admission at St Stephen's, but without success." "Can you explain why?" "– Because it's classified as confidential." "That is a general rule for this kind of studies." "You as a lawyer should know that." "Here I have a copy of Lisbeth Salander's dossier, regarding two years:" "1993 and 1994." "Here it's clearly stated that Lisbeth Salander was tied up during 381 days." "Advocate Giannini, what is the relevance of that for this trial?" "I want to prove that Peter Teleborian is not telling the truth on this subject." "Advocate Giannini, records from 1993 and 1994 cannot be used today   to question Peter Teleborian's credibility." "I understand." "I felt like an idiot." "When the prosecutor submits Teleborian's new report, I will have gained nothing." "She will end up in the mental hospital again and I can't do a damn thing." "Welcome to your private young girls." "Who are you?" "Plague." "What is this?" "Peter Teleborian's private PC." "A USB copy." "I'm sorry." "Come in." "What does it contain?" "Everything you need." "Plus some nasty shit." "Annika, I have everything you'll need right here." "Cooperation with the Section   the psychiatric report in several versions, fake dates   e-mail correspondence, everything." "Well, there you are." "Excellent." "Here." "– I will never have time to read this all." "Read it during lunch." "The dates are important." "Good, great!" "See you later." "Bye-bye." "You ended up at St Stephen's   after pouring petrol onto your father and igniting it." "Yes." "– Why did you do that?" "Because he had abused my mother for several years." "On June 12 1993, he assaulted her so brutally that she became disabled." "She had permanent brain damage." "– Did you tell anyone?" "Yes, to the police officer who interrogated me   to the Social Welfare Board, various doctors, a priest and that pig over there." "When I came to St Stephen's, I tried to explain what had happened." "But he claimed that I fantasised." "As punishment I was tied up." "That's pure nonsense." "Again, an example of the fact   that your client lacks the ability to separate fantasy from reality." "You lie, you fucking pig." "– Lisbeth, in court we use proper language." "I would like to proceed now with the sexual abuse   to which advocate Nils Bjurman exposed my client." "That is not part of the case." "Those are absurd allegations without any shred of evidence." "It is an example of the law violations to which Lisbeth has been exposed." "With respect to Frederick Clinton:" "he might be on dialysis   in this case, at Karolinska Hospital." "Everyone here will receive all necessary information." "I repeat." "Group 1:" "Bublanski." "Group 2:" "Svensson." "Group 3:" "Modig." "Group 4:" "Figuerola." "Group 5:" "Holmberg." "In case of questions or ambiguities you can contact your chief of division." "Good luck." "You have declared that advocate Nils Bjurman has raped you?" "– Yes." "When did that supposedly happen?" "– Not "supposedly"." "It happened Tuesday, February 18, 2008   and Friday, March 7 of the same year." "It is clearly written in my biography." "Did you report the rape to the police?" "– No." "Why not?" "– The police have never listened to me." "Did you seek medical help for your injuries?" "No." "Did you talk to someone about it?" "– No." "The deceased advocate Nils Bjurman has never been convicted for any crime." "He has never been reported to the police nor was he the subject of any investigation." "However, it's my task to remind you that Salander   has been diagnosed as paranoid schizophrenic." "She has spent several years in a psychiatric clinic for children   and is under guardianship since her eighteenth birthday." "How regrettable that may be, it has its reasons of course." "Lisbeth Salander has her very own confused world-view   which appears very clearly from her "autobiography"." "Nowhere else her lack of contact with reality has been demonstrated so clearly." "In this context   we will try to assess the credibility of her words and statements." "Has the prosecutor finished?" "– Yes." "Then the lawyer may present her evidence." "– Thank you." "Peter Teleborian claims that Lisbeth Salander is lying ... about her allegations that she was sexually abused by advocate Bjurman." "The prosecutor is of the same opinion." "I will now demonstrate that Lisbeth's assertion is absolutely true." "When was this recording made?" "On March 7, 2008." "I used a hidden camera." "If you are sweet ..." "If you ..." "If you are sweet   I will also be sweet." "Are you sweet?" "Are you sweet?" "Are you sweet?" "It is too late now." "Stop the film!" "That's enough!" "Why did you film it?" "– Nils Bjurman had raped me before." "He had forced me to oral sex." "He demanded more if I wanted my money." "It was the only way to obtain evidence against him." "The only way to make him stop." "We take a break." "A one hour break." "Sorry I am late." "– It's okay." "Thank you." "Is the lawyer presenting new documents?" "No, they are the same as the court already has, however, with minor but crucial differences." "I will come on to it later." "Then I give the floor to the lawyer." "– Thank you." "Well ..." "No one can deny any longer that Lisbeth was the victim   of serious sexual abuse by her guardian, advocate Nils Bjurman." "A person she thought that she could trust." "As I have said, it illustrates the type of assaults against Lisbeth." "The attacks have been both psychological and judicial." "The person who bears a major responsibility for this, is Dr Peter Teleborian." "In 1993 he has written a psychiatric report   together with Gunnar Björck, who was a member of an illegal group inside the Security Service,   in order to silence a dangerous witness   and thus Lisbeth Salander got locked up in a closed psychiatric clinic." "There must be a limit to these allegations ..." "Excuse me, but now I have the floor." "This happened after Lisbeth had poured petrol on her father   Alexander Zalachenko, in a desperate attempt to save her mother." "But those who protected Zalachenko   made sure to cover it up and classified the investigations." "And with Peter Teleborian's help   they imprisoned Lisbeth at St Stephen's Hospital in Uppsala." "That's a ridiculous accusation!" "I have tried to help Lisbeth Salander in every way." "She attempted ..." "Yesterday Peter Teleborian presented his new forensic psychiatric report." "Once again, he proposes.." "... compulsory detention and imprisonment of Lisbeth Salander." "But just like in 1993 this is also a forgery." "That is completely ..." "I must ask you to allow the lawyer to finish her speech, thanks!" "Thank you." "His opinion is based on the "observation" of my client." "That must have happened after she was transferred to Kronoberg prison   on October 6, and completed on November 5." "Is that correct, Peter Teleborian?" "I would like to call in two witnesses." "No!" "Police!" "Drop your weapon!" "Well ... do you know this document?" "Yes." "It is the psychiatric report on Lisbeth Salander by Peter Teleborian." "There are three versions." "The first dated September 20, the second October 1   and this one is the third, dated October 6." "You gave me the documents." "And I have noticed that the first report of October 1   is identical to the report which Peter Teleborian presented yesterday." "Dated November 5." "Very odd, to put it mildly." "My conclusion is that Peter Teleborian has written the reports   before he met Lisbeth Salander." "For this reason it lacks all credibility." "Superintendent Edklinth, it is true   that you have received these reports about Salander from Mikael Blomkvist?" "Yes." "What are your overall conclusions?" "– They are false." "They were written long before   Peter Teleborian had the opportunity to meet Lisbeth Salander in prison." "Moreover, they were completed with the collaboration of a certain Jonas Sandberg." "That's a lie." "Is it a lie?" "– No, not at all." "The documents are dated and there is e-mail correspondence   between Peter Teleborian and Jonas Sandberg that proves it." "He is part of a clandestine group within the Security Service   who have protected Alexander Zalachenko since the late 70s." "The group was responsible for the decision   to lock up Lisbeth Salander at St Stephen's hospital in 1993." "Jonas Sandberg is one of a dozen people   who were arrested today by order of the General Prosecutor." "Sandberg is suspected of involvement in the murder of Gunnar Björck   and probably another murder." "We have evidence and several affirmations." "Would Peter Teleborian like to comment on this?" "Two policemen are waiting outside the courtroom." "They want to take away Peter Teleborian for interrogation." "Why?" "He will be arrested on suspicion of serious violation of the law on child pornography ..." "Specifically, for possession of 8,000 child pornography images and movies   found on his computer." "This one has been seized." "Please follow us." "You may sit down." "The court has not been able to assess all the information yet   but finds no reason to keep Lisbeth Salander in custody." "Therefore, you are free while awaiting the verdict." "Are you sure that you don't want to go with me to Millennium?" "You can drop me here on Folkungagatan." "You know that you owe this to Micke, right?" "Yes." "But ..." "Yes." "I must be able to get hold of you." "– You can reach me by e-mail." "Okay." "See you." "How did it go?" "– Justice prevailed." "So now there is a party?" "– Now there is a party." "What will you do now?" "– Now it starts!" "... suspected of murder, among other things." "The organisation that performed its activities from this apartment in Stockholm   was responsible for serious legal assaults against Lisbeth Salander." "However, the story started in the 60s." "Then the Section was founded to watch over the nation's interests." "Officially they never existed and operated from this apartment." "Evidence suggests that even the head of the National Police was not aware of the group." "In the mid-70s the Section recruited a Soviet top spy ..." "Lisbeth has been released pending the verdict." "So, she will either be acquitted or receive a suspended sentence." "Here you are!" "– What is this, "Estate inventory"?" "It's the legacy of Zalachenko." "I don't want anything from that pig." "No, but you are of legal age now." "Therefore, I need your signature to prove that you received it." "Securities with a value of 300,000   plus property in Gosseberga valued at 1,5 million." "I don't want to have anything to do with it." "Then there is this ..." "An abandoned brickyard somewhere outside Norrtälje." "Only the plot has been valued at 150,000." "Okay." "Sell all the shit and give the money away." "I think you should read it." "I can sell it for you later." "Micke says hello to you." "Pizza Bussola?" "Here you are!" "– Thank you." "Bye." "What is this shit?" "You deserve to die, you fucking freak." "Telephone information service." "– Yes, hello." "Please give me the number of a motorcycle club in Svavelsjö." "Who is there?" "– Are you interested in Niedermann?" "I'm listening." "SOS alarm service." "Cop killer Ronald Niedermann is at Skederyd's brickyard in Norrtälje." "A motorcycle gang is going to kill him." "They are heavily armed." "Am I disturbing you?" "I was having a bath." "– Oh, I see ..." "Have you seen the news?" "– No." "Ronald Niedermann is dead." "A gang from Svavelsjö has killed him." "Then the police came and arrested the whole lot." "Thanks for everything." "Don't mention it." "Thank yourself." "See you again." "See you." "– Definitely."
