The disappearance of the father whose daughter died under strange circumstances, is what brings the police to try to solve this mystery. Linda Wallander, now a detective, has been given lectures at a local high school where the dead girl had attended. Linda, who had only been telling the students about abstaining from drugs, becomes obsessed with the case, vowing to solve it.
Kurt Wallander's visit to the doctor turns out to be quite a shock for the police chief. There might be a possibility he might be having cancer, but the doctor is confident that if that is the case, it will be treated successfully. Kurt is visibly worried, but refuses to discuss his health problems with anyone, even Linda. Ann-Britt Hoglund is the only one Kurt tells about his grim prospect.
Meanwhile, Linda begins delving into the dead girl's murder. The school counselor, who she has worked with for her anti-drug campaign, proves no help as she proceeds with the investigation. Tove Sahlin, a troubled young woman from the high school is found injured. Her parents give Linda a clue and a lead that she follows. Tove has also shown large amounts of drug that killed her school mate.
The thing that brings the case to a head involves another student a newly arrived shy girl that is being targeted by the criminals that are taking advantage of the teenagers for sexual activities. When all is said and done, we are surprised by the ones behind the abuses. Kurt, on the other hand, receives good news that he was cleared of having cancer.
The episode was directed by Stephan Apelgren, who co-wrote the screenplay with Ulf Ryberg. This was a good show in which a vulnerable Kurt Wallander has to deal with a threatening health problem that gets the best of him. At the same time, Linda, his daughter proves to be worthy of her responsibilities as a detective, following her father's footsteps.
Krister Henriksson has some good moments as Wallander. Johanna Hallstrom is also effective as Linda Wallander. Both actors contributed to our enjoyment of the series.
