This video is me giving an ending spoiler for the movie The video is just me talking about how it ends. No video or photos from the movie are used.

Here is the spoiler written out, so you can follow along:


Salander, who is under state legal guardianship due to mental incompetency, is appointed a new guardian, lawyer Nils Bjurman (Yorick van Wageningen). He abuses his authority to extort sexual favors from Salander and then forcibly her, not realizing she has a hidden video camera in her bag. She regains control of her life by blackmailing Bjurman, after stunning him with a Taser, and marking him as a rapist with a tattoo on his chest and stomach.

Blomkvist's daughter visits him and notes that the numbers from the notebook are Bible references. Blomkvist tells Vanger's lieutenant that he needs help with his research, and he recommends Salander based on the work she did researching Blomkvist himself. Blomkvist hires Salander to further investigate the notebook's content. She uncovers a connection to a series of murders of young Jewish women that occurred from 1947 through 1967, causing Blomkvist to mention that the Vangers are known antisemites. During the investigation, Salander and Blomkvist become lovers. Henrik's brother Harald (Per Myrberg) identifies Martin (Stellan Skarsgård), Harriet's brother and operational head of the Vanger empire, as a possible suspect. Salander's research uncovers evidence that Gottfried Vanger, Harriet and Martin's deceased father, had committed the first few murders, and that Martin had committed the rest.

Blomkvist breaks into Martin's house to look for more clues, but Martin catches him and prepares to kill him. Martin brags about his crimes, but denies killing Harriet. Salander arrives, subdues Martin and saves Blomkvist. While Salander tends to Blomkvist, Martin flees. Salander, on her motorcycle, pursues Martin in his SUV. He loses control of his vehicle on an icy road and dies when it catches fire. Salander nurses Blomkvist back to health, and tells him that she tried to kill her father when she was 12. After recovering, Blomkvist deduces that Harriet is still alive. He confronts Harriet (Joely Richardson), who explains that her father and brother had sexually abused her for years, and that Martin saw her kill their father in self-defense. She goes on to explain that she was able to escape from Martin with the help of her second cousin Anita, who smuggled Harriet out of the island and let her live under her identity. Finally free of her brother, she returns to Sweden and tearfully reunites with Henrik.

As promised, Henrik gives Blomkvist the information on Wennerström, but it is not helpful. Salander hacks into Wennerström's computer and presents Blomkvist with damning evidence of Wennerström's crimes, which vindicates Millennium and destroys Wennerström, who is eventually found murdered. Salander hacks into Wennerström's bank accounts and transfers two billion euros to her own secret accounts. Salander reveals to her friend, and former guardian, that she is in love with Blomkvist. On her way to give Blomkvist a specially chosen Christmas present, Salander sees him and his longtime lover and business partner Erika Berger (Robin Wright) walking together happily. Heartbroken, she discards the gift and rides away.
