"On the wrong scent" = đánh hơi nhầm ->  nghĩa là đi sai đường, đuổi theo nhầm người.

Ví dụ
Last month marked an 18-month high for complaints to Metro Vancouver naming Harvest Power as the source of overpowering, rancid (ôi thiu) odours (mùi) lingering across Richmond. However, one new and one traditional source of odour could be putting noses on the wrong scent.

No one in the human world, of course, believes Wonder Woman, and they foolishly dismiss her ideas as lunacy (điên rồ). And for a while Wonder Woman makes a terrible mistake in thinking the German Ludendorff (Saddam / Gaddafi / Assad) is Ares. It is late in the film that she discovers she has been on the wrong scent.

This time, however, Pelant pulls off the double-switch. First, he manages to put the team on the wrong scent, sending them after a victim (nạn nhân) whose parents were members of the cult (nhà thờ tôn giáo) at Crystal Creek as opposed to the daughter of an FBI agent supposedly killed there by friendly fire.
