The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo Page #6

- It wasnt meant to be.

- When I write about people,

I try to entertain the reader.

Wennerstrm

wasnt entertained much.

Your boss, Armansky...

He tells me, you only work on things

that interest you.

So, I suppose..

I should be flattered.

Are you going to sit down?

He also says that

youre the one he goes to

When the jobs is, sensitive

I'm gonna use,illegal, b'cos that's what it was

when you hacked into my computer.

Im not going to do anything about

that. I could but I wont.

What Im going to dois tell you a story.

If it entertains you,

maybe youll

decide to help me research further.

And if not, then I'll do the washing

and you'll never see me again.

What kind of research?

Lisbeth...

Can I call you Lisbeth?

I want you to help me

catch a killer of women.

I've got "R. J.",

Rebecka Jacobsson.

I have absolutely no idea

who the rest of this people are -

or how theyre connected to the death

of a 16 year old girl -

they must be somehow.

So, what we're gonna do is find out who

they are? What happened to them?

and what the Leviticus verses

have to do with anything?

What are you doing?

Getting started. You can keep

talking if you want.

- Don't you need to look over this?

- I got it.

Cat!

How did you get in?

No ones asked me about Magda

in over 40 years.

Why would a young lady like you want

to know about such an aweful murder?

- It interests me.

- Does it ?

Her husband was our first suspect -

the husband is always the first

suspect, and usually the last -

but not this time.

We moved on to a neighbor.

Then a vagrant -

Once you get to strangers,

its only a matter of time...

before you get to gypsies,

and you know youre never going to solve it.

How exactly was she killed?

- Miss...

- Salander.

I'm sorry..Miss Salander, I hope,

you dont mind my asking,

whens the last time you ate?

I have a high metabolism.

I cant put on weight.

I'm asking because its better to look at

what Im about to show you

on an empty stomach.

If a mans offering is a lamb, it

shall be a female without blemish.

He shall lay his hand upon its head

...slaughter it...

empty its blood

on the base of the altar...

and he shall be forgiven.

- How is he?

- He needs surgery

but theres no DNR in place.

So its up to the family to decide

whether to resuscitate or not,

and theyre not good at decisions.

- Howd it go with Ms. Salander?

- She said yes.

Do you think

I might be able to see him?

He was asleep when I last looked,

- but let me check.

- Thank you.

Don't check.

- Tell him to pack his things and leave.

- Mother, please.

Dont use that tone with me.

Isabella, Mr. Blomkvist

works for Henrik.

- We should put this to a vote.

- Dont be an idiot, Birger.

We all know what Henrik wants,

Can we please just do that?

Henrik is in there fighting for his life in there.

This is the last thing he needs.

Excuse me, Mrs. Vanger,

there's nosmoke in here.

Go back to Stockholm.

When we need a family chronicle

written by a libelist,

we know who to call.

Alright, thanks.

This way, Miss.

If a woman approaches any beast

and dies with it.

He shall kill the woman and the beast,

Their blood shall be upon them.

My family is impossible.

Its why the company is such a mess.

I apologize for my mothers behavior.

I'm use to it.

It has nothing to do with you.

Its between her and Henrik ...

She lost it when my father died.

Her drinking..it got so bad

Henrik took me and my sister away from her,

And left her excommunicated,

in our old house on the other side of the island

She hasn't forgiven him.

You, you must stay.

Youre last chance that Henrik has

at some kind of resolution.

Put this to rest for him one way of the other,

and Ill try to keep my mother away.

But, please, hurry.

Of course.

Lisbeth?

- I'll get that.

- It's okaya.

- This is Martin Vanger.

- How do you do?

Fine.

- Girlfriend or...

- Assistant.

Thank you, so much.

- Good night.

- Good night.

Any trouble finding the place?

Everyone in town knows

who and where you are.

Thats comforting. Are you hungry?

Want a sandwich?

No.

Religion.

- The names.

Theyre all Biblical.

The first woman, the whore,

the Virgin Mary - Sara, Rakel -

If theres one thing the Vangers have
