In Stockholm, disgraced journalist Mikael Blomkvist is recovering from the legal and professional fallout of a libel suit brought against him by businessman Hans-Erik Wennerström, straining Blomkvist’s relationship with his business partner and married lover, Erika Berger. Salander’s state-appointed guardian, Holger Palmgren, suffers a stroke and is replaced by Nils Bjurman, a sadist who controls Salander’s finances and extorts sexual favors by threatening to have her institutionalized.
In December 2002, journalist Mikael Blomkvist, publisher of independent magazine Millennium, loses a libel case involving unproven allegations that he published about billionaire financier Hans-Erik Wennerström, and is sentenced to three months in prison. Harald is a recluse who still clings to his strong Nazi views and is a suspect for the murder, as is Harriet’s mother and all the other family members who were present on that day.
The film begins at the conclusion of The Girl Who Played with Fire. Journalist Mikael Blomkvist, who Salander helped on a previous case, resumes his efforts to clear her of several murder charges, knowing that she was framed by the Section, a group within the Swedish Security Service that illegally sheltered Zalachenko after he defected from the Soviet Union.
Lisbeth Salander purchases an apartment in Stockholm. On returning to Sweden after nearly a year living abroad, Salander reconnects with her best friend and former partner Miriam Wu and offers her free use of her old apartment in return for forwarding her mail. Threatening him with his own gun, she warns him not to remove the tattoo that she etched on his abdomen.
In Stockholm, Sweden, computer programmer Frans Balder hires vigilante hacker Lisbeth Salander to retrieve Firefall, a program he developed for the National Security Agency that can access the world’s nuclear codes. When she misses a scheduled rendezvous with Balder, he mistakenly believes Lisbeth has kept Firefall for herself and contacts Gabrielle Grane, the Deputy Director of the Swedish Security Service (SÄPO).
