Girl With The Dragon Taroo, The Page #5

---

A 16-year-old girl

was murdered 40 years ago.

Until today I wasn't confinced

she was murdered.

But then you pionted out to me

the passages in the Bible...

that speak of women

who should be killed.

And?

So far, it's the most important clue

in the case.

- And?

- Well, I... well, I need your help.

- I'll be well payed.

- I already have a job.

Lisbeth, you're a professional hacker,

a very talented one...

but one who sends e-mails

that are easily traced.

I don't understand?

Why is that?

Huh?

So he'll live then?

Can I come and visit him?

Lisbeth Salander's here.

I'll speak to you soon, Frode.

Thanks, bye.

If a woman approaches an animal

to have sexual relations...

I assume you're familier with the files so

I don't have to fill you in about anything?

- Yeah?

- Hm, right.

Hey... What if these quotes

have nothing to do with God?

What if it's a code?

"A young girl Sara Witt was found murdered

in her family barn"...

"just outside Vilhelmina in 1962".

Sara? What else does it say?

"Between 2 and 3 o'clock in the morning

the victim was lured into, uh"...

"The body of the young girl

worn marks of mutilation",

"probably from a religious ritual".

"The police refused to disclose

any more details".

Mutilated, possibly religious...

They find the murderer?

No. The police must have

given up.

- It's a bid of a long-shot.

- Worth a shot.

- How far is Vilhelmina?

- If you go by car not far.

What you waiting for?

- Would you like to drive?

- What for?

I haven't really driven

since I got divorced.

Then it's about f***ing time you did.

If you type a womans name

you go right to a porn site.

What're you looking for?

I'm searching all the newspaper

and magazine databases.

Okay, come on.

Let's go to the barn.

The family couldn't sell the farm

after what happened.

It's been abandoned ever since.

She was found here?

Yes. Her poor husband found her.

It was horrible for him. Horrible.

She was there.

In this stable.

She was bound...

and tortured.

Any of the animals harmed?

How did you know that?

"If a woman approaches any beast

and lies with it,

you should kill the woman

and the beast".

- It could simply be a coincidence.

- Yes.

Oh, f***, Lisbeth.

It's the same with the others...

I've found an old TV program.

A report from 1999

about a murder in Dalarna.

Go on.

" From a series murders in Sweden comes

the case of Magda Lovisa Sjberg...

from Dalarna".

Magda...

"A brutal murder that left police

baffled in November 1954".

And, uh...

what was Magda reference?

Leviticus,

Chapter 1, Verse 12.

"He's to cut it into pieces...

including the head and the fat"...

"and the priest shall arrange them...

on the burning wood on the altar".

That was verbatim.

You quoted it to the letter.

According to the report, Magda's body

was only found 6 hours after she was killed.

A farmer spotted smoke

from the fire.

He thought it was just

a bunch of kids having fun.

Fat's cut from the body,

is that mentioned in your report?

Yes, yes. It's right here,

it says, uh...

fat was found along

with the remains of the head.

Revolting.

What the hell?

Hey, calm down!

I just wanted to wake you up.

We're here.

What the f***.

Can I come in?

Here, here's your bag.

You're okay?

Yeah, I'm okay.

I can't find anyone

with the initials BJ.

But LI could be Liv Ingvartsson.

A prostitute who disappeared in nge and

was found on this building site in a dump.

What was that quote again?

"She is to bring two turtle-doves

or two young pigeons,

one for a burnt offering

and one for a sin offering".

"The priest will make atonement

for her, and she shall be clean".

nge... That's quite a ways

in the opposite direction.

I think I've found another one.

A 17-year-old from Uppsala.

- When?

- 1964.

"The Mari murder

leaves our streets deserted".

Uh...

"Mari Killer is still on the loose".

There.

So, we've got Sara, Mari,

Magda and Liv. Four murders.

That just leaves BJ,

the one heavy in circles.

Harriet couldn't have known them...

because Liv was murdered in 1949.

and Harriet was born in 1950.

So, what's the connection?

She made a list of women who had been

killed and then she disappeared.

Harriet must've known

who the killer was.

Yeah.

What is it?

Someone's been here.

The photos have been rearranged.

And the Bible's been moved.

- See, there.

- What the hell?

Somebody really wanted to get in here.

I'll change the locks tomorrow.

- Lisbeth...

- Hm?

do you have a photographic memory?

I'm sorry.

I didn't mean to upset you.

If you got a photographic memory,

that's fantastic, I wish I had one.

Damn, you scared the sh*t outta me.

What is it?

What're you doing?

Are you sure this is a good idea?

- Are you going?

- Good night.

- Good morning.

- Good morning.

You sleep well?

Hm-hm.

- I'm wanna see Henrik. Wanna come?

- I hate hospitals.

This is...

it's unbelievable.

You've found out more

than I'd hoped possible.

Concentrate on getting well.

I'll keep you posted.

In regards to the last reference...

- The mystery name.

- BJ.

Talk to Morell,

he might be able to help you.

Morell!

Morell!

What in the name of God?

Five murders!

So, they weren't phone numbers.

No, if it's any consolation,

I didn't solve the code alone.

But we've had no luck finding

the last woman with the initials BJ.

Harriet circled as if it were more important

then the others. It's the last reference.

If there's a woman with these initials

who was muredered in the 40's, 50's or 60's,

we've got to find her.

You have any idea what this means?

If the first murder

happened in 1949,

then whoever's been sending those

flowers to Henrik would be a very old man.

It reduces the number

of suspects considerably.

Mikael. I'm glad you could make it.

- Welcome.

- Thank you.

Harald couldn't make it.

He's deer hunting.

Oh...

And to what do I owe this honor?

Have you had a look

at the local paper recently?

I was out of town.

Well, they started running

a series of articles...

about your so called escapades

with a young girl in Hedeby.

Blomkvist's young new girlfriend.

- Okay?

- This is precisely the kind of publicity...

- here we don't want.

- Mh-hm.

Henrik is dying.

My private life has nothing to do

with my work for Henrik.

On the contrary. It reflects poorly on us,

the Vanger Company.

Have you not done enough already?

Will you be satisfied when Henrik is dead?

Stop looking

into my daughter's death.

It maybe time to consider

letting this go.

What do you mean?

You're making matters worse

coming here with your little whore...

Mama, please calm down.

But I do think it's time we let it pass.

It's been a difficult time for everyone.

- Henrik wants, uh...

- Mikael, my friend, listen...

Excuse the interuption,

but if you'll permit me...

Uh... Henrik and Mikael

have signed a contract.

As long as Henrik's alive it is

binding and cannot be cancelled.

Whether Mikael likes it or not,
