The Girl Who Kicked The Hornets Nest Extended Part 2 English
We've removed a bullet from the head.
- Will she be OK? - She's stable now.
I'm going to write Lisbeth's story and publish it in the next issue.
I'm going to ask you for a favour.
So Lisbeth Salander might be innocent?
It's all here.
Björck's report has been stolen twice. It's no coincidence.
They're covering their tracks. It's serious.
Your flat will be bugged now, Micke.
- What now? - I have an old friend …
Torsten Edklinth, Constitutional Defence.
We could hire Mikael as a consultant.
Those responsible will be punished.
Niederman will pay for this!
- I will destroy you! - You aren't going to do anything!
Our duty is to make the decisions no one else has the guts to make.
I think Clinton is capable of anything.
Björck and Zalachenko are dead.
Before Gullberg died, he tried to get to Lisbeth. There must be a link.
Micke thinks that they'll try to have you committed again,
so you do need a lawyer.
I have to see her to evaluate her with regard to the upcoming trial.
Dr Teleborian was here. I can't keep using your condition to hold them off.
Did I wake you up?
THE GIRL WHO KICKED THE HORNETS' NEST
PART 6
- I don't care if you have a warrant. - We're just doing our job.
- We could talk things over. - And what shall we talk about?
That door is to be kept shut!
What the …?
I was let in. You weren't here when we arrived.
Get out of here.
Well, he did have a prosecutor's warrant.
Lisbeth!
Look at me. What did he do?
It was the guard. It won't happen again. I promise.
I promise you that.
Done.
- Don't forget to deal with his car. - No problem.
We waited there for an hour, thinking he'd got the time wrong.
- But he never showed. - That's odd.
If we're lucky, he'll call you again. If he does, you must call us at once.
Of course.
- Whose turn is it today? - Malin's, isn't it?
OK.
- Hi. How's it going? - Hi. Is sushi OK?
Not sushi. I'll have chicken teriyaki.
- Shall I get you something, Micke? - No, I don't have time.
YOU LEFT A LIGHT ON LAST NIGHT. ARE YOU SCARED OF THE DARK?
I CAN SEE YOU. DO YOU WONDER WHAT I WANT?
Can I swap batteries with you? Mine's dead.
Anyway, found a picture of him …
Micke … Look.
Another anonymous mail. I think it's the same person.
- Have you had many? - I got one last week too.
- Why didn't you tell me? - I didn't take it seriously.
I'll see if I get time tomorrow.
- It was teriyaki, wasn't it? - Yes.
Don't tell the others yet. We can discuss it later.
- Can I take this? - Sure.
- Do you want eight pieces? - I'm not that hungry. I'll skip lunch.
I was strapped to the bed. My room was dark.
Peter Teleborian was standing there, looking at me. He smelt of aftershave.
I hated his smell.
He asked if he could make me happy on my birthday.
I hated his voice.
I hated his hands.
That was the night I turned 13 …
- Teleborian's report? - A draft.
It'll need some work, but it looks good.
We've hit a snag.
Wadensjöö's apparently gone missing.
- Missing? - His wife reported it yesterday.
She last saw him on Friday morning.
Maybe he's dropped out and is now spilling the beans somewhere.
- Would Bertil really do that? - No. Bertil's always been loyal.
Well, I don't like it one bit.
- Plague, what's up? - We've got a problem.
- What? - I've scoured Teleborian's computer.
- There's nothing there. - Nothing?
Nothing concerning you or the trial.
The only thing of interest could be two mails from …
Jonas on Hotmail.
"PR 1 ready next week." Dated September 20th.
The other one is just as brief. "PR 2 ready tomorrow."
"PR"… "Psychiatric Report", perhaps?
Yes, could be.
- No files? - No.
If he's sent anything, it wasn't from his work computer.
I bet he has a laptop with mobile broadband.
- It could be hard to hack into. - But not impossible.
Given the right opportunity, everything's possible.
- I'll keep an eye on his mailbox. - Do that. Good.
Listen, don't call.
- Text or mail me. - OK. Bye.
Shit.
The trial is set for Wednesday 13th, and the issue must be ready by then.
- We must go to print the week before. - I don't see how we can swing it.
We'll all have to pitch in.
You and Malin do a background on Teleborian and St Stefan's.
I want around 30 pages. Is that OK?
- It's OK, I guess. - Good.
Well … There's something else.
I've received two threatening emails this week.
We thought you should know.
Threatening emails?
Christ. What bastard would do this?
- Have we reported it? - No, no.
I don't want the police involved. Not yet.
This is a serious threat.
I know it's serious, but I don't want the police hanging around.
- So we should just ignore it? - Damn it, that's not what I'm saying!
- I'll deal with it in my way! - And what way is that?
The police won't do a damn thing, and you know that, too!
For God's sake, stop it!
If I don't get any more, then there's no harm done. Right? Let's drop it.
30 pages.
- A cup of coffee? - Please.
I'm sorry, but I've got to dash. Bye.
- It's me. - Why are you calling?
Teleborian's meeting Jonas at the Central Station at four.
- What's the time now? - Almost 3:30.
Shit!
Hello. Time for some blood tests.
I just need to go to the bathroom.
- Christer. - I'm on the stairs.
I see you. I'm right below.
I can see Teleborian. Christer, move in closer. I'll stay up here.
OK. Yes.
You should soon be able to see him, black coat.
I see him. He's standing there waiting.
- Just watch him. Don't get too close. - Relax. I can handle it.
Someone's coming. Must be Jonas. Grey coat, middle-aged.
Wait. They're leaving. Should I tail them?
Go! Go!
- They're heading for the street! - Follow them!
Monika speaking.
Mikael here. Teleborian's meeting a possible Section member.
- What? Now? - Yes.
- Whereabouts? - On Vasagatan. Can you make it?
OK. I'm on my way.
- Hi. - Hi.
- Mikael. - They're leaving.
Follow Teleborian. We'll tail the other guy.
OK, will do.
It's Monika. I need to check a licence plate.
Got it.
Teleborian goes from a meeting with Jonas Sandberg
to a meeting at the police station.
Who with?
Let's see, now. This is Jonas Sandberg. Joined Counter espionage in 1998.
Given a secret posting abroad in 2001.
Our records say he is at the embassy in Madrid,
but they've not heard of him.
- Like Mårtensson. - Yes.
Transferred to a place where he doesn't exist.
Only head of division, Albert Schenke, can order that.
This is the Section building. A housing co-op. Six storeys, 23 apartments.
I've run checks on the residents, but nothing sticks out.
- Except this … the penthouse. - I see.
Twelve rooms. Owned by a company called Bellona.
- The owners live abroad. - Can we set up a camera?
- If we get a permit. - I'll sort it, if you get me a teapot.
Forget it, I'll see if I have one at home.
AUTOBIOGRAPHY ATTACHED
- Hi. - Hi.
- Are you busy? - Yes.
- I'll come back later. - I'm almost done.
I just wanted to warn you that the police will be here tomorrow.
OK.
I could probably stall them a few more days.
- But my colleagues would wonder. - Don't.
- Sure? - Yes.
You don't seem that worried.
No.
I have a gift for you.
Why?
You're one of the most entertaining patients I've had in a long time.
If you get bored in your cell … It's the latest thing in DNA research.
- Your mobile … - In the chocolate box.
Teleborian will be writing an expert's report.
In it, he'll claim that you need sectioning.
It's what the prosecution wants, so that's to be expected.
So we must bring in our own expert to submit an independent report on you.
It's for your own good, Lisbeth.
I won't talk to any shrinks. I've already told you.
I hope they fit.
You're only hurting yourself with this attitude.
Lisbeth, come on.
- Stand back! Out of the way! - Lisbeth Salander …?
- Salander? - Move!
Any comments? Lisbeth?
Murder suspect Lisbeth Salander was transferred today
from hospital in Gothenburg to a remand centre in Stockholm.
According to the prosecutor, the trial is set to open on November 6th.
Salander is charged with the attempted murder
of her father, Alexander Zalachenko, who was brutally killed in hospital.
The police say that the security level will be stepped up during the trial,
as threats have been made during the investigation.
This is Georg Nyström, a Security Service superintendent since 1983.
He became an independent investigator in 1996,
focusing on internal checks on cases that Security has closed.
Here's Jonas Sandberg again.
- Who's that? - Just a neighbour, Karl Birgersson.
- Him I recognise. Hallberg. - Yes. Otto Hallberg.
That's right. He was on the antiterrorist squad 15 years ago.
He resigned in '91. Self-employed.
- Guess who he had lunch with today. - Well, what do you know?
Head of division, Albert Schenke, and head of finance, Atterbom.
That's how they get their money. It's all starting to fall into place.
- I want a 24-hour watch on them. - Then we'll need more people.
Yes. I've been thinking Bublanski's lot.
He's 100% reliable.
- Or is he busy with Niederman? - I don't think so.
He seems to have fled the country.
Time for your interrogation.
Well, we meet at last.
Ekström, prosecutor.
Why don't we regard this session as a chat rather than an interrogation?
A means to unravel this complex story.
I take it you have no objections?
The charges against you are extremely serious.
It's my duty as prosecutor to take into account any mitigating circumstances.
It's important that you're aware of this, for your own sake.
This is a simple yes-no question.
When you went to Gosseberga to meet Daddy, were you planning to kill him?
I urge counsel yet again to persuade her client to reply to the questions.
And I repeat yet again that it's up to my client whether she replies or not.
I suggest a serious talk with Miss Salander is in order.
And I say that for her own good.
Well …
I was surprised that she was so tiny, like a little girl.
- Ms Giannini, how is Salander? - Fine, considering.
- What about the charges? - No comment.
As her lawyer, you must have an opinion.
Here is Lisbeth's autobiography.
- When did she write this? - Does it matter?
Physically, she's well enough to be interviewed.
What about mentally?
It's public knowledge that Salander has spent time in mental institutions.
Are you implying that Salander is mentally ill?
I'm not qualified to say that.
- Wait for the psychiatric evaluation. - Who will be evaluating her?
Dr Peter Teleborian of St Stefan's will be in charge.
Peter Teleborian. What a surprise.
- Should we expect a postponement? - No, we don't think so.
The investigation is proceeding according to plan, and the trial …
ARE YOU SCARED? YOU SHOULD BE.
Christer.
- Same sender? - Yeah.
"Things will get worse, for all of you." Us, too?
- Is Micke tracing the sender? - He called someone.
Obviously it didn't help. You've got to report this.
- Otherwise we're sitting ducks! - I want to talk to Micke first.
- Then I'm calling the police. - No! I'm the editor here.
Those threats were addressed to me, and I'm not going behind Micke's back.
We've got to stick together, be united. Now more than ever.
I'll call Micke.
Hello, Lisbeth.
I'm sorry you're in this predicament, I want you to know that.
I'm going to do my very best to help you.
I'm hoping that we can work together, you and I.
I think we got to know each other quite well, you and I …
… during that time.
You were a headstrong
and exceptionally hard 12-year-old to treat.
You bit my finger once.
Remember?
You never understood that touch can be part of the treatment process.
It creates closeness and trust.
That goes for children in particular.
Do you realise that I'm the only person who is able to help you?
Do you?
Hi. Are you still here?
Why haven't you been taking your calls?
I was busy writing, so I switched off. Why didn't you leave a message?
Same sender.
Christer tried to call the police today.
But I stopped him.
We have to do something right now, Mikael.
You and I run this magazine.
We have a responsibility towards our staff. It's no longer about you and me.
I've been in touch with one of Lisbeth's hacker buddies, Plague.
- So we don't need to report it, then? - If anyone can trace anything, he can.
It'll take time, but he'll be faster than the police.
Are we talking about days here? Or weeks?
Honestly, I don't know.
Ms Giannini, in my opinion, your client should not have to stand trial.
This "autobiography" contains unfounded and ridiculous accusations
against several people, not least Dr Teleborian and attorney Bjurman.
I'm aware of the contents.
Surely you agree that it proves she's in need of care?
- No. Since there's an alternative. - What's that?
That what it says is true. And that the court chooses to believe it.
If we act on the assumption that Millennium has evidence,
what could it be?
The worst-case scenario would be that they have a copy of Björck's report.
They can't possibly know about our operations.
He's got a lot of cred.
And so does the magazine.
Maybe it's possible to shoot his credibility down?
At any rate …
… we need to terminate the problem.
She called us at 3:15 a.m.
and locked herself into a room upstairs.
- We got there within 20 minutes. - Did you find anything?
The police took care of the evidence and we're setting up an alarm system.
Erika told me about the threats.
- There's probably a connection. - I've got someone tracing the emails.
- I don't want to involve the police. - Rethink that.
This involves threats to your safety, and Erika's.
- My safety? - Yes.
The silent alarm went off at your place last night.
He was inside for 17 minutes.
When we searched your home,
we found 180 grams of cocaine stashed in a stereo speaker.
- And 120 grand in cash in a closet. - What the hell …?
They're trying to set you up.
Since they can't stop your magazine.
- Is it still there? - The money, yes.
We did replace the other stuff, though.
I've got to call Erika.
I expect she's getting some sleep.
- Erika speaking. - It's me.
Hi.
I know what happened, and it sucks.
I want to see you. Can I come over?
No, I don't want you to come here. We can talk later.
- I want to see you now. - I need to get some sleep.
How about three o'clock?
At Samir's.
- Can I count on you? - 3 p.m. I'll be there.
- Great. Bye. - Bye.
- Hi. Do you know where Erika is? - No.
She's not answering any of her phones.
- The last pages are off to print soon. - I'll try to get hold of her.
Good. By the way, you've got a visitor.
Right.
Micke, do you understand what I'm saying?
Teleborian has written a 100% professional report
that I haven't got a chance of countering.
- The court will accept it. - We don't know that.
Yes. Read it and you'll agree.
It's been written with the help of the Section. If we can prove that …
And how the hell will we go about doing that?
No. I'll try to postpone the trial and make Lisbeth accept another examination.
She'll never go along with it.
No.
I'm seriously thinking of dropping the case.
Samir's. Do you know it? Three this afternoon.
I'll run these pages over to the printers.
Heard anything from Erika?
I just spoke to her. She didn't sleep well last night, so she won't be in.
- How's she doing? - Fine. Damn, I've got to run.
More threatening emails?
You've all done a first-rate job.
- Want to grab a beer later? - Maybe. I've got a meeting at Samir's.
It has yet to be determined
exactly how certain individuals fit within the Section.
And there may be more operatives we haven't identified yet.
But the key figures will be arrested in a joint operation, which …
You will receive information about this at a later date.
It's 2:50. I suggest we take a break and reconvene in an hour.
- Any new developments? - Clinton's had dialysis.
The others have been in and out.
Only Sandberg has interacted with others.
He met two men at a pizzeria in Bredäng at 10:30.
Who did he see?
I don't recognise them. A Balkan connection, perhaps.
That's the Nicolic brothers. Tomi and Miro Nicolic.
Originally from Serbia. Nasty characters. Snipers during the war.
Miro is wanted for assault, but he spends most of his time in Serbia.
Micke …
Hi, Samir.
Sorry I'm late.
- How are you? - What do you think?
- Why didn't you call me last night? - What for?
I called Milton Security because I needed help.
It's time to back down.
Put me through to Samir's Place. It's urgent.
- I've called off the printers. - You've called off the printers?
We have to consider Malin's and Christer's safety, too.
- You called it off? - I don't want this on my head.
- It's too dangerous. - Shit, shit, shit.
Micke, you're wanted on the phone.
- Not now. - It's urgent, they say.
Sorry.
I hear gunfire!
Micke!
Police! Get out! Hands up!
Police! Don't move! Hands up!
Are you all right?
Are you OK?
Here, clean yourself up. Are you all right?
Get them out of here, fast. I'll explain later.
Into the kitchen. The kitchen.
The off-duty officers were having lunch and recognised the two men,
one of whom is wanted for assault.
Shots were fired, but luckily no one came to any harm.
The two brothers will face charges of attempted murder.
I don't believe this.
Damn it!
- It was a bad idea from the word go. - Nothing was wrong with the idea.
I just wasn't aware that they were wanted. That was my fault.
What will the Nicolic brothers say now?
They won't say they were there as hired killers. They're not that stupid.
I … just spoke to Christer and Malin.
They can't go to the office now.
I keep thinking of Dag and Mia.
We could have died today, Mikael.
Both of us.
No job is … worth dying for.
We don't know if they intended to kill both of you or not.
But they probably expected the police to find the drugs and the money
and connect the shooting to an underworld settlement.
- What about your staff? - The office will be closed.
- Until the trial is over. - We're postponing our next issue.
Really?
I see. Both of you will need police protection.
No, I don't want that.
LISBETH IN COURT TODAY
We'll see what happens.
- Have you talked to her at all? - What can you tell us, Mikael?
We hope to achieve a sentence of psychiatric care.
A lengthy prison sentence is our second choice.
Isn't it usually the other way around?
The psychiatric evaluation is so clearly indicative in this case.
I can't see that we have any other option.
OK. Thank you.
The trial of Lisbeth Salander opens in Stockholm today
at 1 p.m., in about an hour.
It is estimated to last for three days,
and the case has generated a great deal of public interest.
The police and the prosecution have provided certain information,
while the defence has refused …
Christ. Is it time?
- I haven't slept a wink. - You'll do just fine.
Yeah, sure.
Everything will be fine.
- There. - Thanks. See you later.
Bye.
Stand back.
Excuse me!
Move back a little bit.
What does she look like?
Unfortunately, Lisbeth Salander has refused to utter a single word
during our seven interviews.
However, this has not prompted us to reconsider the charges. Thank you.
- I turn the floor over to the defence. - Thank you.
The defence rejects the accusations.
We will prove that the prosecution's version of the events is incorrect
and that my client's legal rights have been severely compromised.
My client is innocent. She deserves to be declared legally competent
and to leave this court as a free woman. Thank you.
Does the prosecution have anything to add?
For various reasons, we urge that this case be tried behind closed doors.
To protect the best interests of a psychologically vulnerable individual
and due to the confidential nature of certain information
that involves national security.
- We'll speak later. - OK.
CONSPIRACY AGAINST LISBETH SALANDER
This looks great. Can you get more …
No, that's as much as we can do.
Let's start by trying to understand how it came to happen
that you went to Gosseberga
to try to kill your father, Alexander Zalachenko,
aka Karl-Axel Bodin.
Does your silence mean you still refuse to answer any questions?
I am willing to answer questions.
- Really? Then go ahead. - I haven't heard a question.
I asked you if you went to Gosseberga intending to kill your father.
No. You said you wanted to clear up how it came to happen
that I went to Gosseberga to try to kill my father, Alexander Zalachenko.
It wasn't a question.
- It was a statement. - Don't quibble about semantics.
- Answer the question. - No.
- No, what? - That's the answer to your question.
You struck your father in the head with an axe, is that correct?
Yes.
He sustained critical injuries, and I claim that this was attempted murder.
What is your opinion?
Which of the two statements do you want my opinion of?
Taking an axe to your father, was that an attempt to murder him?
It was not attempted murder, it was self-defence.
- Thanks. - Listen, can I get you anything?
- How about some cigarettes? - Dream on.
- Hello. - Hello.
How are you coping with police protection?
Well, I suppose it's fine.
At least as long as they stay outside.
Erika.
I couldn't do it.
You're an egoist.
And a jerk.
I won't be coming in this week. Or the next.
I need to be sure I'm making the right decision.
OK.
About us or Millennium?
Both. I think.
I'll get back to you.
Take care.
Shit.
Salander, time to go.
Lisbeth Salander's so-called autobiography
lacks all credibility.
It includes statements about people
that are outlandish.
In all, the material expresses
the paranoid schizophrenia Lisbeth Salander suffers from.
Could you give us an example?
The most obvious is the description of the rape.
A crime she claims her guardian, Bjurman, committed.
The description, with all that excessive detail,
are a classic example of the grotesque fantasies
generally displayed by children.
Lisbeth Salander is not a child. She's an adult.
Well, it remains to be seen
exactly which mental age level she is on.
But in years, you are correct.
Though the point is that, like a child,
she cannot distinguish fantasy from reality.
I see.
In 1993, Lisbeth Salander was committed to St Stefan's.
You were in charge of her during her stay there, is that correct?
That is correct.
How many days did she spend in restraints?
- Strapped down in bed. - I can't possibly recall that.
- It can't be that many. - How about a rough estimate?
Around 30 or so, but I fail to see why that is relevant.
Lisbeth Salander asserts that it was 381 days.
That's patently absurd.
So she wasn't restrained for more than a year
- of the two years she spent there? - Absolutely not.
The defence has tried repeatedly to gain access to Lisbeth's records
from her time at St Stefan's, but none have been forthcoming.
- Could you explain why? - It's confidential material.
Records like that generally are, as you should well know, Counsellor.
Here is a copy of Lisbeth Salander's hospital records,
from 1993 and 1994.
They show that Lisbeth Salander was restrained for 381 days.
I must question counsel. How is this relevant to the case at hand?
To illustrate the fact that Dr Teleborian did not tell the truth.
Ms Giannini, these records from 1993 and 1994,
you cannot use them in court today
as a means of calling Dr Teleborian's credibility in question.
I felt like a fool.
You were right to bring it up. The report proves Teleborian's a liar.
But it proves what he was prepared to do then, not what he's done now.
What do you mean?
When the prosecution presents that evaluation, I have nothing.
Nothing at all.
They'll lock her away again and I won't be able to do a damn thing.
Who are you?
Plague.
What's this?
The contents of Teleborian's private laptop. On a flash drive.
Sorry. Come on in.
What's on it?
Everything you need.
Plus some nasty shit.
Christ.
I've got everything you need, Annika.
- The Section connection … - Thanks.
… Several versions of the evaluation, phoney dates,
email correspondence, the works.
- Annika. - It's about time.
Here.
My God. There's no way I can get through this.
Read it over lunch. Focus on the dates.
- Witnesses vouch for them. Copies here. - OK, that's great.
See you later. Bye!
Ow!
You came to St Stefan's at 12 after having set your father on fire, right?
- Yes. - Why did you do that?
He had abused my mother for years.
On June 12th, 1993, he beat her so badly she was left disabled.
Permanent brain damage.
- Did you talk to anyone about this? - Yes.
I told the police, social services, several doctors, a vicar
and that pig over there.
Why are you calling Peter Teleborian a pig?
I tried to tell him what happened when I got to St Stefan's.
He told me I was deluded and put me in restraints to punish me.
That's sheer nonsense.
Yet another example of how reality-challenged your client is.
- You're a lying pig. - Lisbeth Salander.
No language like that in court.
OK. I would like to move on to the sexual abuse
Nils Bjurman subjected my client to.
This has no bearing on the case.
The allegations are bizarre and not a shred of evidence exists.
It does have bearing, as an example of how Lisbeth has been violated.
Fredrik Clinton may be undergoing dialysis at the Karolinska Institute.
You will all receive a report with all the necessary information.
I repeat. Force 1: Bublanski.
Force 2: Svensson. Force 3: Modig.
Force 4: Figuerola. Force 5: Holmberg.
If you have any questions, consult your task-force leader.
Good luck.
CONSPIRACY AGAINST LISBETH SALANDER
It is here that the trial of Lisbeth Salander is being held,
who according to today's sensational issue of Millennium
is the victim of serious juridical abuse at the hands of a secret body
called the Section.
The trial is now into its third day.
You claim that your guardian, Nils Bjurman, molested you.
Yes.
- When did this supposedly occur? - Not "supposedly".
It occurred on Tuesday, February 18th, 2008.
And on Friday, March 7th, 2008, as indicated in my autobiography.
- Did you go to the police? - No.
- Why not? - They never listened to me before.
Did you see a doctor for your alleged injuries?
No.
- Did you tell anyone about it? - No.
The late Nils Bjurman was never convicted of a crime.
He has never been connected with criminal activity in any way.
It is my duty to remind the court that Lisbeth Salander …
… has been diagnosed as suffering from paranoid schizophrenia.
She spent years in a psychiatric unit
and has been legally incompetent since she came of age.
No matter how tragic this is, it was not unfounded.
Lisbeth Salander lives in a warped world of her own.
This is very much evident in this autobiography of hers.
It clearly demonstrates how out of touch she is with reality.
And it's with that background
that we must assess the credibility of her claims.
- Is that all from the prosecution? - Yes.
Thank you. Then the defence may proceed with their evidence.
Thank you.
Peter Teleborian claims that Lisbeth Salander
is lying about being sexually molested by Bjurman.
The prosecution shares this view.
I will now present evidence
proving that Lisbeth's claims are, in fact, true.
- When was this filmed, Lisbeth? - March 7th, 2008.
I used a hidden camera.
If you're good …
If you …
If you are good …
Good God.
… I'll be good to you.
Will you be good?
Will you be good? Will you be good?
It's too late.
Turn it off. We've seen enough.
- Why did you record that? - Bjurman had raped me before.
Oral sex. When I asked for my money, he demanded sex in exchange.
This was the only way to obtain evidence.
- The only way to make him stop. - Well …
Let's take a break. We need 20 minutes.
May I suggest we extend that to an hour? I think we need it.
Agreed. A one-hour break.
- I apologise for the delay. - That's OK.
Thank you.
Excuse me, Counsellor, are these documents new?
No, just revised, with certain important additions.
- I was just about to tell you that. - The defence has the floor.
Thank you.
Well, then …
No one can deny that Lisbeth was molested
by her guardian, Nils Bjurman.
A person she thought she could depend on.
This illustrates how Lisbeth has been violated.
Violations of a mental and a physical nature.
And much of the responsibility lies at Dr Peter Teleborian's door.
He, in 1993, along with Gunnar Björck,
a member of a rogue group within our Security Services,
compiled a psychological evaluation intended to keep in check …
… a dangerous witness, Lisbeth Salander.
- Incarcerated in a psychiatric ward. - This is outrageous!
Excuse me, I have the floor.
This was after Lisbeth
had splashed gasoline on her father, Alexander Zalachenko,
in a desperate attempt to save her mother from abuse.
The people who protected Alexander Zalachenko hushed this up,
and made sure it was top secret.
Aided by Peter Teleborian,
they had Lisbeth committed at St Stefan's in Uppsala.
This accusation is offensive!
I've tried to help Lisbeth in every respect! She tried to murder …
Yesterday, Dr Teleborian presented his latest evaluation.
Once again, the objective is to commit Lisbeth Salander.
But, as in 1993, this is a falsification.
This is completely …
I must ask you to let the defence finish. Please.
Thank you.
The evaluation is said to be based on observations of my client.
They are allegedly made after she was moved to custody on October 6th
and concluded as of November 5th.
Is that correct, Peter Teleborian?
I'd ask the court to commit those dates to memory.
You were refused permission to visit my client in hospital. Is that correct?
I'd like to call two witnesses.
What? No.
Stay back!
Police! Drop it!
Keep still!
Right. Are you familiar with this document?
Yes.
It's a psychiatric evaluation of Lisbeth written by Dr Teleborian.
Three versions exist. The first is dated September 20th,
the second October 1st,
and this one, version three, is dated October 6th.
You gave me these documents.
I have observed that the content of the October 1st version
is identical to the version Dr Teleborian presented yesterday,
the one dated November 5th, which is noteworthy.
My conclusion is that Dr Teleborian compiled his evaluation
before he saw Lisbeth Salander again …
… and this fact reduces its credibility.
Chief Edklinth, is it correct that you received these evaluations
of Lisbeth Salander from Mikael Blomkvist?
Yes.
- What conclusions do you draw? - That they are falsifications.
Since they were created long before Dr Teleborian
had the opportunity to interview Lisbeth Salander in Stockholm.
They have also been edited by a man called Jonas Sandberg.
That's a lie.
- Is it? - Not at all.
The documents are dated, and the email correspondence
between these two men clearly confirms the process.
He belongs to a rogue Security Service group
established in the mid '70s that protected Alexander Zalachenko.
The same group is responsible
for committing Lisbeth Salander at St Stefan's in 1993.
Jonas Sandberg is one of ten individuals
who is now being arrested.
He is a suspect in the murder of Gunnar Björck, and possibly one other murder.
We have a great deal of evidence and several confessions.
Would Mr Teleborian care to comment on this?
Two police officers are waiting at the door.
Peter Teleborian is to be interrogated.
- Why is that? - He is under arrest.
He is suspected of crimes against the Child Pornography Act.
More specifically, the possession of nearly 8,000 pornographic photos
and films of children that are on his laptop.
The police are impounding this.
Please come with us.
Please be seated.
Well, then. We have not been able to process all this new information,
but the court sees no reason why Lisbeth Salander
should remain in custody.
You are free to go, pending sentencing.
Well …
Oh, yes. Here are some keys that Micke gave me to pass on to you.
Sure you don't want to come to Millennium?
Yes.
You can drop me off on Folkungagatan.
You do know that this is all thanks to Micke, don't you?
Yeah, but …
Right.
And I still can't know where you're staying?
No, not now. Later maybe.
What are you going to do now?
I need to be able to reach you. We're not finished yet.
You can reach me by email.
Good.
Bye!
- What do you say about the verdict? - Justice prevails.
- And now it's time to celebrate. - It sure is.
- Tell me more. - Hey, everybody, it's on!
The charges include murder. This flat was their headquarters.
And the Section was responsible for the violations against Lisbeth Salander.
Its roots can be traced back to the '60s.
The purpose was to guard the interests of our nation.
Formally, they did not exist. Their base was a residential building.
Not even the national police commissioner knew of their existence.
In the mid '70s, a spy, a USSR defector, was recruited …
They've let Lisbeth out of custody …
… which means she'll either be acquitted or sentenced to probation.
- Here. - An estate inventory?
- Zalachenko's estate. - I want nothing from that bastard.
I see, but you're legally competent now.
And I need your signature, to show that you've received it.
Bonds for over 300,000 and property for 1.5 million kronor.
I want nothing to do with it.
There's more. An abandoned brickyard out by Norrtälje.
The land alone is worth 150,000.
Sell it all and donate the money to charity.
Read it first. After that, I'll sell it for you.
By the way, Micke sends his regards.
- Your pizza's ready. - Thank you. Bye.
You deserve to die, you fucking freak.
- Directory assistance. - Hello.
There's a bikers club in Svavelsjö. I'd like their number.
- Who is this? - Are you interested in Niederman?
I'm listening.
- Emergency Services. - Niederman, the cop killer,
is at the brickyard in Skederyd.
Bikers are about to kill him.
They're heavily armed.
Is this a bad time?
I was taking a bath.
I can tell.
- Have you seen the news? - No.
Niederman is dead. Killed by a biker gang.
Right.
And your old buddy, Sonny, was shot while trying to shoot his way out.
Thank you for everything.
You're welcome.
Thank you.
I'll see you around.
- See you. - You bet.
