The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo Page #7

use to come in

here to buy hardware.

I dont recognize him.

Sorry.

I had to start somewhere.

Im no detective, but...

...1966, I wouldve started at

the retirement home.

- This is Brannlunds kid.

- Do you know where I might find him, the son?

Next to his father

at the cemetery.

He was killed in an accident on a job

site years ago.

But uh..she might still be alive -

His widow.

Do you know where I might find her?

In 1966, you were in Hedestad

with your husband.

- Who took this?

- A local photographer.

You were taking pictures, too.

That day and ..

I'd love to at them, if by some miracle

you still have them.

It wouldnt be a miracle. We were on

our honeymoon.

But why?

This, this girl there...I need you

to see it better in an enlargement.

So that's you there.

Just after this was taken...

After, she'd seen something

across the street,

She was murdered.

How awful!

- There you are.

- Thank you.

Would you mind

if I made a copy of this?

No.

any of this stuff without authorization

from Mr. Armansky.

So call him.

Next time,

fill out the proper paperwork.

Which one are you?

Hows your sex life?

I didnt care much

for your last report.

It's so perfunctory,

like your hearwasnt in it.

Lets see a little more enthusiasm

for my recovery in next months.

- But...

- Don't speak!

I dont want to hear your voice.

Just nod.

Start looking for a shrink

you can bribe, this way..

under oath, he can find

absolutely nothing wrong with me.

And stop visiting

tattoo removal websites,

or Ill do it again -

right here.

- Is that dental floss?

- Yes.

you sterilize that,

Right?

Couldn't we just use tape

or something ?

No.

What ?

- Jesus!

- Drink.

- Just, be careful, its my eye.

- Don't move.

You're not a doctor.

Take off your wet clothes.

Thank you.

I think it stopped bleeding.

That f***ing hurts.

F***ing madness.

Jesus, That hurts.

F***.

This is insane.

I mean this people...

Somebody was shooting at me...

It wasnt an accident...

No ones shooting at you now.

You know, Im pretty sure

this is a bad idea.

Why?

Apart from the fact that Im old and

we work together.

You work with whats-her-name.

Thats worked out for you.

I have some standards,

believe it or not.

You need to stop talking.

You want me to open a window?

- I like working with you.

- I like working with you, too.

It could have been a stray shot.

Not that Gunner. If he wanted to

shoot him, It wouldn't have been here.

And then, we have poachers.

They shoot at anything that moves.

Or hes right, Dirch.

What if he is?

- This has to stop.

- Do you want to stop, Mikael?

I have police reports, photos,

Henriks notes, my own notes,

and Lisbeths research.

What I dont have is

Vanger Industries records.

- Thats what I want.

- Why?

Will you authorize it?

The private corporate records?

How far back?

Henrik said I have access to

everything I needed.

- This is what I need.

- Thats not what he meant.

I'll sign a nondisclosure statement,

if that would help..

- You think Henrik would say yes.

- Thats why he has me.

To protect him from himself.

This is insane.

- What do we have to hide?

- After a 120 years of business?

Probably, a lot.

If this is what he needs to finish,

he should have permission.

What am I looking for?

Any connections between

Vanger Industries -

and the towns where

the women were killed...

and everything about Frode.

Your father was taking pictures

that day no one has seen.

I'd like to take a look at that.

- So ask him.

- I was wondering if you could do that?

I dont speak to him,

as you know.

You couldnt make an exception

in my case.

Are you afraid to be in

the same room with him?

Im not saying you shouldnt be.

You wont help me?

Sorry.

Please.

Are you finished?

I need to know where all the factories,

offices and projects were

from 1949 to 1966.

- You already have everything.

- No, I dont.

Nothing on subsidiary corporations,

- partnerships, or suppliers.

- Then youll have to do without.

Mr. Frode said I have access

to whatever I need, and..

- this is what I need.

- He said you have access to this floor.

Call Him.

Thank you, for seeing me.

Come in.

- Tea?

- Please.

Sven Olof Lindholm.

Me.

Handsome.

Birger Furugard.

Me.

Per Engdahl.

But your interest is in my more

candid photographic work.

Friends,

Relations, that kind of thing.

Please.

- "Blom" ou "Blum"?

- Blomkvist.

Im not a recluse.

I dont close my door to anyone.

They just dont

visit.

Perhaps if you redecorated.

Hide the past like they do.

Under a thin, shiny veneer.

Like an Ikea table..

Im the most honest of all of them.

- The family?

- Sweden.

Landscape?

Some nice landscapes there.

Who is this there?

The blurry one.

I can't tell.

- Thats Gottfrieds boy.

- Martin?

Handsome but useless young man,

Like his father.

Were closing.

Nowhere near finished.

I'm not authorized to stay late.

I am.

And I need access to all the

rooms, including any that are locked.

Call Frode.

Leave the keys with the guard.

Martin?

Mikael?

Hi there.

Your evening stroll?

That's right, I...

- How are you?

- Good.

I stopped at the hospital

on my way home.

Henrik asked me

to ask you something.

What was that?

Come on in,

Ill make you a drink.

Hello, Martin.

Shut the door,

It's quite windy.

- What happened to you?

- When?

Just now.

- I fell in the dark.

- You don't have a flashlight?

- I'll get you one.

- I just wasn't being careful.

How the investigations going?

- Nothing New. To report..

- No?

Dirch says, the girl is really clever.

Maybe, she'll turn something up.

Maybe.

Thank you.

- So, What did he say?

- What?

You said Henrik asked

you to ask me something.

- Well, I just did.

- What?

How the investigations going.

That was his question.

Do You hunt?

- We should go hunting together sometime.

- Sure.

Nothing at all?

- New. To report?

- No. Nothing.

- I can see youre anxious.

- No.

I mean, to get home.

After the walk.

Yeah, Sorry.

I suppose I am.

To have dinner.

With your girlfriend.

Assistant.

Well have better luck

with a gun.

- I'm sorry?

- When we go hunting.

A gun.

Rather than a knife.

I want to show you something.

Bring your drink.

Leave my knife.

To the right.

You know whats harder than

shooting someone?

Just missing them.

That was a very good shot

up at the cabin.

It didnt work. Im here.

Mikael, it did work.

Youre here.

Inside.

You spilled your drink.

Why didnt you just go home?

May I?

Howd you do it?

What did you find?

We can talk or

we can just get on with it.

I found a picture

no one had seen before.

- Of?

- You.

- In your Uppsala prep school blazer.
