from shrapnel hit by one of Eriksson's shots, and they get out of the area by disguising themselves as doctors. When the police commissioner decides to bring in the anti-terrorist units, including two police helicopters, Eriksson shoots up one of the helicopters such that it crashes on a crowded plaza, Odenplan, near the building where he resides. Beck tries an individual initiative, climbing to the roof on a flimsy external ladder, but is shot in the chest, left severely injured and bleeding on a ledge leading to the roof until Kollberg bravely rescues him and gets him to a safe apartment along the building's facade. A group that includes Larsson, Hult (a stone-faced officer who was one of the few members of the force who was close friends to Nyman, and who resolves to avenge his death), special operations soldiers and a civilian volunteer with his own firearms on hand use explosives to blast to the roof where Eriksson is hiding. He stops them and is about to shoot Larsson when the civilian fires a shot that slams into Eriksson's shoulder and leaves him disabled. Hult rages towards Eriksson but only hits him once in the face before he's pulled away by other officers who arrest the sniper. Larsson tells the civilian he let him take the shot because a cop shooting another cop would be a whole other problem set, and bluntly says the civilian will have to answer questions about the unlicensed gun he had on hand. Eriksson is left staring into the sky as the movie ends.
