Beck: Volume 6 (Episodes 16-18)

He's got no style, no flash and he's middle-aged. But Swedish detective Martin Beck is good at one thing: methodically catching criminals so they can be put away for a long time. His tightly-wound partner, Gunvald, is the opposite: an impulsive man who cuts a dashing figure, is in no way politically-correct and who never met a boundary he didn't leap to cross. He'll do anything to get information from a suspect, including enhanced interrogation techniques. It's classic good cop/bad cop, and together with their team they bring down dangerous criminals lurking in the seedy Stockholm underworld. Beck may be a loner but he's not anti-social; he regularly sees his daughter, with whom he has a much better relationship than when he was neglecting her growing up. And at the end of a workday, there's always an interesting conversation and a nightcap with a neighbor who gives new meaning to the word quirky. Episode 16: Blind Profit in horrific murders around Stockholm, victims are having their faces dissolved by acid. At the same time, Beck suffers a heart incident and gets told by his doctors that he has to take it easy. He gets relief from the stress of the case when he falls in love with a charming woman.. Episode 17: The Scorpion the body of a man is discovered in an abandoned house. The man's wife and their two children have fled the scene and refuse to come out of hiding. After Beck tracks the woman down at a shelter, he begins to understand why she wants to keep her case out of the hands of the police. Episode 18: The Unclaimed Girl a five-year-old girl is found dead in a root cellar. When a man living nearby kills himself and leaves a letter apologizing for his pedophilia, the case seems closed. But Beck isn't convinced. And why hasn't a local family reported a child missing?
