Lisbeth Salander:
[to Bjurman] Good. You're alive. You recognize this? I had it with me last time. I set it here, remember? And this snap, you see it? It's not a snap. It's a wide angle fiber-optics lens.

[plays video of Bjurman raping her]

Lisbeth Salander:
I thought it was going to be another blow job, which is disgusting enough. But I misjudged just how sick you are. Okay, here's what is going to happen.

[inserts anal plug into Bjurman]

Lisbeth Salander:
Pay attention. Look at me!

[tasers Bjurman]

Lisbeth Salander:
Once you can sit again, which could be a while, I admit, we're going to go to my bank and tell them that I alone have access to my money. Nod.

Bjurman:
[nods yes]

Lisbeth Salander:
After that you will never contact me again. Each month you will prepare a report of a meeting that we will never have. In it you'll describe how well I'm doing. How sociable I'm becoming. Then you will negotiate with the court to have my declaration of incompetence lifted. If you fail, this video will spread across the internet like a virus. Nod.

Bjurman:
[nods yes]

Lisbeth Salander:
And if anything should happen to me. If I get run over by a car. If you run me over with a car. This will upload automatically. Nod that you understand.

Bjurman:
[nods yes]

Lisbeth Salander:
[picks up Bjurman's pants] Ooh, Gabardine. I'm taking the keys to this apartment because I'll be checking on you. And if I find a girl in here with you, whether she came of her own free will or not. [Bjurman nods to the video] No, not the video. I'll kill you. Do you doubt anything I've said? Do you doubt what's in the reports that have followed me around all my life? What do they say, if you had to sum it up? They say I'm insane.

[Bjurman desperately nods no]

Lisbeth Salander:
No, it's okay. You can nod because it's true. I am insane.
