After the poor second part to this trilogy, there is more meat in this finale. It keeps you more gripped and interested, even if the plot is a little far fetched for Sweden and there are some plot holes, eg the main characters keep having important conversations at the office despite knowing it is bugged! and the mysterious Section is great at drifting about unseen, but is absolutely hopeless at spotting that it is being spied on! But that is Larsson's point, I suppose, that you fight fire with fire even in a democracy - witness the Blomqvist character will fight the baddies at any level (witness a rather unbelievable scrap in public with a vicious Balkan killer) while Erica gets scared and dips out ( a role Lena Endre was to reprise almost look for look in 'Wallander'). The storyline picks up from the second episode by having the trial for murder of Lisabeth while Blomqvist and other 'goodies' track down the conspirators who have been scarring Salander's life. Not a bad story and quite edgy, especially the creepy psychiatrist Telaborian. Well directed and acted - a good finish.
