There are two main characters in the film, Mikael and Slander, starting with Mikael.

At the beginning of the film, M's career is in crisis, and the opponent is wennerstorm. At this time, M's request is to escape from the world, to escape all the things in front of him, and to be quiet. The obstacle to this request is that M received a phone call. He went to the northern city. The old gentleman who arrived at Vagger's house in the northern city wanted Mikael to investigate the cause of Harriet's death. Mikael originally refused, but because Vagger Henrik said he could help bring down wennerstorm, Mikael accepted.

At this time, Mikael's character purpose has changed from escaping the world to tripping wennerstorm, provided that the cause of Harriet's death is investigated. Mikael begins an investigation into Harriet's death, which marks the beginning of the second act of the film.

Look at the slander again. Slander appears in Forde's introduction as a sideline, and her job is to investigate Mikael. In the investigation, because Mikael was found to be innocent and wronged, the opponent Wennerstrom was also investigated. But what does the slander survey W do?

Everything that happens next until the encounter with Mikael I think is a slap in the face of the slander character.

Slander's old guardian fell ill, so he was forced to replace a lewd man as his new guardian.

The slander's behavioral trend is to need to get the money and let himself manage his finances. But as the new guardian's behavior becomes more and more perverted, the slander character goes to extremes, we worry about her next fate, and the character's purpose of action adds an extra revenge. And the plot that happened later - Slander's revenge on the wretched man who didn't stay on the ground was not only very pleasing, but the character of Slander was basically completed.

The revenge is completed, and I also get the right to manage my finances. At this time, I think the story of the slander line has ended, and the next is the story of the two people. The second act of the film ends and the third act begins.

Mikael's purpose remains to investigate Harriet's death. During the investigation, Mikael said that he needed an assistant. At this time, the lawyer of the Vagger family introduced slander to Mikael, the person who investigated Mikael. Mikael found the slander because the other party was someone who had investigated him and was in need of an assistant.

Slander initially resisted Mikael, but the investigation was related to the murder of a woman, and Slander became interested, and the two collaborated.

During the investigation, the two developed an ambiguous relationship, but their different experiences made each other have different attitudes towards their relationship. This is what makes the ending dramatic.

As the truth slowly emerges, Mikael encounters a new crisis. Because the clues of the two investigations all pointed to Martin, Martin realized that he was about to be exposed, so he wanted to kill Mikael to keep him safe. At a critical juncture, slander came to the rescue again, and chased and killed Martin, causing Martin to crash and die in a crash.

At this point, the climax of the hero Mikael's story ends, and the story moves to the next chapter.

Although Martin's death is a relief to the audience, Mikael's purpose is not to kill Martin, but to find the cause of Harriet's death, and then bring down the villain wennerstrom. So the two continue their search for Harriet.

Another key character in the film is Anita. With some tricks and conjectures, Mikael discovers that this Anita is actually Harriet.

After finding Harriet, old Henrik kept his promise and gave Mikael some information, but the information didn't help Mikael in any way. What should Mikael do at this time, continue to advance the story.

With the help of Slander, Mikael got the black material of wennerstorm, and according to the exposure, slander's violent operation in Zurich completely cooled wennerstorm. Mikael's crisis is resolved.

The final outcome is Slander's wrong payment, the two people's different attitudes towards the relationship have a dramatic contrast, and slander returns to his gutter again.

The film is roughly divided into five main plots when Mikael decides to investigate Harriet, the two meet, Martin's death, Harriet's appearance, and wennerstorm's death. The characters in the story all play a driving role in the development of the story. Harriet's cause of death contributed. And each action of each character has a very clear incentive to drive.
