Sidetracked

Summary Kurt Wallander is a police inspector in the Swedish town of Ystad. Shortly after he has seen a young girl kill herself by self-immolation, he is called to investigate the murder of government minister Wetterstedt. He has been scalped. Wealthy business-man Carlman is murdered in the same fashion, and a serial killer is clearly responsible. Drunken ex-journalist Lars Magnusson points Wallander towards Sandin, a retired and corrupt cop, who admits that he once 'cleaned up' for both the dead men but will offer no more information. The next murder is that of an habitual criminal, who has been tortured before death. His estranged wife and teen aged son are not grief-stricken. His behaviour has traumatized his younger son and sent his daughter into a mental hospital. Following another scalping, and an appeal to the public, a former prostitute tells Wallander that all the victims were connected with a vice ring, importing very young girls into Sweden. The girl who killed herself was probably among them. A raid on Sandin's house reveals girls lined up for the sex trade concealed in his cellar. He is clearly the next intended victim of the scalper and Wallander has no qualms in using him as bait in the trap.

* An old man used to live near the footpath in a slum. One day in the middle of the night, he goes a little far away without taking out the garbage, then on the way there comes a place where four boys used to get intoxicated daily. Those boys stop the old man and ask what did you see? Oldman doesn't say anything, that boy asks him not to tell anything, asks him to leave. Next day morning police comes, investigates, police does not find anything nor is there any CCTV. Then Oldman passes by the side of the police inspector, one of his spectacles lenses was broken, Oldman leaves, then the forensic team tells that nothing has been found here, but only this piece of glass has been found, which looks like it is the lens of someone's spectacles. When asked to Court My Oldman, Oldman blames drugs. The judge asks, "But tell me how NASA is a crime, can you prove it?" Then Oldman begins to tell the whole story from his childhood, which was a story of a "ghetto" in a swamp. In the last, Oldman tells the court who Aparaghi is and how he became, and goes away acquitted from the court. But then someone kills Oldman too. * An old man used to live near the footpath in a slum.
