"The accused is sentenced to three months imprisonment and a compensation of 150,000 to Hans-Erik Wennerström." "What do you think of the ruling?"

" Two." " Two?" "200." "No, 2000." " 200,000." "Are we finished?" " What kind of sex do you have?" "Any special preferences?" "Have you considered that she might have just left?" "No, because of the accident." "The bridge was blocked for 24 hours." "And it was the only way off the island." "Harriet disappeared, while no one could leave the island."

"She had no alibi but was not suspected." "After Harriet's death she moved to London to study." "She had a career, but died of cancer at 37." "She died 20 years ago." "She did not tell Morell, that it was her in the window." "Perhaps to cover up the murderer." "Hey Plague." "Want to check up on Anita Vanger?" "Plague?" "If there is anything, then he will find it." " What happened?" " An idiot shot me." " Did you see who it was?" " No." "Damn!" "We must be really close now." "Somebody doesn't like it." " We must call the police." " What can they do?" " Give me my mobile." " Then I'll leave." "We should not draw any hasty conclusions." "It could be a hunting accident." "If it is not a hunting accident then you are in danger." "I think you should go home." "At least for a while." "Ever since I came here, everyone is asking me to leave." "Is there anything new about BJ?" "We found no BJ in the system." "But we'll continue to look." "There are two cameras out there, and four here with motion sensors." "Great." "You do not want to go home?" "No." "Do we have everything on video now?" "Yes." "It is already online." " What are you doing?" " What?" " Lie down in your bed." " I want to be close to you." "Okay, but I must sleep." "What have you been through?" "How did you turn out this way?" "You know everything about me." "I don't know shit about you." "Not a thing." "Yes, that's how it is." " Who is it?" " It's Morell." "I found the last one." "Rebecka Jacobsson, nicknamed Bea." "BJ." "That was why we did not find her." ""A man or woman who is a medium or spiritist among you..."" ""...must be put to death." "You are to stone them."" "It is her." " Where was she murdered?" " In Karlstad." "But it is more interesting that she worked for Vanger until his death in January 1965." "She was secretary for Gottfried Vanger." "Gottfried died before Harriet disappeared." "It was not him." "But we must look at whether she was in contact with others from the Vanger." "Wait." "Rebecka and Sara are Jewish names." " Magda..." " Magdalena." "Mari, Maria." "But Liv?" "Eva means Liv." "I would bet, that Liv Ingvartsson was Jewish." "Racist murder." "This fits with the pseudo-religious rituals." "But what about Harriet?" "Harriet died, because she discovered the connection." "Why did we not see it?" "They are Jewish names." "There was three Nazis in the Vanger family." "Only one was alive when Harriet died." "Harald." "Who, coincidentally, was out hunting, when you ran alone in the woods." "The first murder took place there in 1949." "So Dalarna, Vilhelmina, Uppsala, Karlstad." "If Harald has been there he left some traces." " What do you think?" " The Vanger Concern's accounting." "Business travel." "There is evidence." "Restaurant and hotel bills." "He has been deducting murders from his taxes?" "Yes, I know those kind of men." "Even if we can prove that he has been everywhere, it is not enough." " Maybe he is hunting now." " Are you proposing that we break in?" "We need to go a fair bit back in time." "There we have 89... 89..." "We need 1949 to 1966." "Thank Henrik for his business principles." "Otherwise, the accounts would have been destroyed." "But there they are now, it's just getting started." "Miss Salander, what did you really find out?" "Thank you, I don't need any more help." "IN THE FÜHRERS NAME I AWARD..." "What the hell are you doing here?" "Answer me!" "Do not worry." "Are you going to write about me in your cursed Communist spray?" "I'm leaving now, do not shoot." "You're breaking into my home." "So I'm in my right to shoot." "What the hell is going on here?" " Stand still!" " Release the gun, Harald." " Release the gun now." " Don't interfere!" "Release the gun." "Release it." "Are you okay?" "How the hell could Gottfried get such a sissy for a son?" "Harald..." "No." "No." " We must get Morell." " We can call from my place." "Harald is not leaving." "Come on." "Gottfried?" "Gottfried." "Uppsala 1964." "Was there a group picture?" "What the hell?" "That can't be true." "Blue sweater..." "What the hell?" "...Gottfried Vanger with son Martin." "Shit." "Does that help?" " He scared me out of my wits." " You do not joke with Harald." "Why were you in his house?" "Harriet discovered a series of ritual murders from 40s to 60s." "We know that she discovered a pattern which the police weren't aware of." "We believe this is why she was murdered." "But that is..." "It sounds quite crazy." "We have found the link between the dead women." "They all have Jewish names." "Yes, Harald is not exactly a lover of the Abraham genus." "No." "So I went in to see if I could find anything." " And?" " Yeah, whatever?" "I did not find anything." "But he did not exactly behave, as if he were innocent." "If Lisbeth can track his doings through the accounts... we have evidence against him." "Receipts, invoices." "She is going through it all." "Ok." "I'll call the police." "Try Morell." "What were you doing at Harald's place?" "Now now." "Cry as much as you like, Mikael." "Cry as much you can." "Do you think anyone can hear you?" "We both know how it will end for you." "Why?" "Why what?" " Everything is here." " Why not?" "I live out all the men's dream, I take what I want." "How many women after the first?" "That I do not know." "I have stopped counting." "There sat a girl in the cage, there, as we sat and ate upstairs." "These kind of women disappear all the time." "No one misses them." "Prostitutes, immigrants." "What do you do with them?" "What about the quotes?" "The mutilations?" "It was father's project." "He mixed race and religion into his hobby." "But it was a mistake." "You should not let the bodies lie around." "I take them on a trip out into the boat, and then I throw them into the sea." "Mikael?" "Mari was my first." "64." "You were 16 years old." "It was my father, Gottfried, who showed me how I had to strangle her." "That is sick." "It's about sex." "The killing is just a natural consequence of the rape." "There must be no witnesses." "Although I must admit I love to see their disappointment." "Disappointment?" "They refuse to understand that, they must die." "It is not included in their world view." "They always think, I will spare them." "It is a fantastic moment, when they realize they won't get away." "When their eyes go out... and die." "You'll discover that yourself." "And how does it feel, when your sister's eyes died?" " Harriet disappeared." " Should I believe that?" "Believe what the hell you want." "I would have enjoyed killing her." "But she disappeared." "And you will also disappear." "Want some water?" "Yes." "Thank you." "There, you see." "You are like all the others." "A small, human gesture and you get a glimmer of hope that..." "I may let you escape." "Right?" "Do not worry." "It's fast." "I look forward to your little friend." "Come and get it, dickhead." "Are you okay?" "Fuck!" "I can not..." "I can not..." "I can not move..." "I can not move." "Help me." "Would you please help me?" " Where is Martin?" " He will not return." "What do you mean?" "He drove to his death." " He is done." " Are you sure?" "What the hell have you done?" "He died in a car accident." "We know nothing." "Okay?" "Blomkvist!" " What the hell has happened here?" " Basement." "What happened there?" "He died in an accident?" "For fuck sake, Lisbeth." "His father trained him to murder, when he was 16 years old." "Anyone would get sick in the head with that upbringing." "Enough with the victimization." "He nearly murdered you." "He murdered and raped, and he enjoyed it." "He had the same chances as us." "You choose who you will be." "He was no victim." "He was a damned pig who hated women." "How did he die?" "He burned to death." " Could you have saved him?" " Yes." " But you let him burn to death." " Yes." "I would never have done it Lisbeth." "But I understand why you did it." "I do not know what you have experienced." "But I was about to die down in the cellar, and you saved my life." "Whatever you have seen you do not need to tell me." "I'm just happy, you are here." "Thank you." "For the first time in my life I feel old." " We are not finished yet." " What do you mean?" " Harriet was not a victim of Martin." " What are you saying?" "Martin did not murder Harriet." "Lisbeth?" "Lisbeth?" "There are two named Anita Vanger." "One is dead in London." "The other lives in Australia." "First entry into the country in 1966." "Harriet?" "Harriet Vanger?" "Harriet Vanger?" "You all right?" "Have we met before?" "Yes, indeed." "You and your cousin looked after me when I was little." "But I come on behalf of Henrik Vanger." "Does he know I am alive?" "Not yet." "I come to visit Agneta Salander." " Who, should I say it is?" " Her daughter." "Her daughter?" "Are you Agneta's daughter?" "Sorry, it's just..." "I have not seen you before." "Hello, mother." "Mom?" "This is me." "Lisbeth." "Lisbeth..." "Are you Lisbeth?" "I should of came a long time ago." "You've changed so much." " Do you have children?" " No." "Have you a man?" "There is a but you must not fall in love." "You know that better than anyone else." "Right, Mom?" "I should have chosen a better father to you." "Mom!" "It was you who got hurt." "Mom..." "Come in." "Mikael." "Welcome back." "I have a nice surprise." "Promise me that you won't get a heart attack." "With all the pills I take at the moment... it is probably physically impossible to have a heart attack." "Harriet?" "Forgive me." "Sorry." "Sorry." "I was 14, when dad raped me for the first time." "The year after he took me to the cottage." "Then came Martin." "In time, they abused me several times." "One day I had enough." "Dad was drunk as usual." "He was quoting the bible and boasting about all the women he had murdered." "I took the paddle and hit." "I held him, under the water till he was still." "I pushed the boat out so it would look like an accident." "But when I turned around Martin was there." "Martin treated me worse than Gottfried." "You sent him to boarding school in Uppsala, but he came back for the Children's day." "I was terrified that it would start again." "And then you went to Anita?" "Anita helped me get out of here." "When the bridge opened again, she drove me away." "I lay on the back seat under a blanket." "I've thought of you in all the years." "The frames with the pressed flowers I sent... to tell you I was somewhere out there." "So I was sorry when Mikael told me how you have interpreted them." "If you had not sent them, you would not be sitting here with me now." "No." "Lisbeth, it is me again." "Call if you hear this." "I hope you are doing well." "Ring." "You have visitors." "Half an hour." "I am glad to see you." "Here." " What is it?" " A little reading material." " Please sit down?" " I just wanted to give you that." "I have only one and a half months left." "EVERYONE HAS SECRETS" "Wennerström's empire is like a living shapeless organism... journalist Mikael Blomkvist, who has served a sentence for slander against Hans-Erik Wennerström, accused him again." "In a themed issue of Millennium." "He accused Wennerström for executing serious economic crimes." " Why do you accuse him?" " Yes, you wonder." " What happens to Wennerström?" " There is a vacant cell." "According to Blomkvist, the empire is built on cartels in the third world." "Cartels which are involved in drug trafficking and illegal arms trafficking." "There he comes!" "The wanted financier Wennerström was found dead this morning in an apartment in Marbella, Spain." "cleaning lady found the 44-year-old financier." "The police believe it was a suicide." "There is no suspicion of..." "Internal affairs are now going through all of Wennerström's bank accounts." "It turns out money was withdrawn from an account in the Cayman Islands." "We are talking about many millions." "police are looking for an unidentified woman who was caught on the surveillance cameras." "Lisbeth..."
