Synopsis: Assistant Inspector Aoyagi Yasushi (Fukikoshi Mitsuru) of the First Investigative Division’s Ninth Section nods off while accompanying Kakiuchi Taeko (Endo Kumiko) who is in bed with a cold. He is awakened by his colleague Yazawa Hideaki (Taguchi Hiromasa). Yazawa has come to get him. It is almost time for their shift for a stakeout. Aoyagi has not even had a change of clothes since the night before, but he hurriedly climbs into Yazawa’s car after speaking to Taeko. Yazawa explains the case to Aoyagi who has complained since morning about having his day off ruined due to the stakeout. A father, Mizuki Yuichi (Takuma Takayuki), who lost his daughter in a hit-and-run accident, killed the criminal after the criminal’s release from prison, and fled. As there is a high possibility of Mizuki making contact with his ex-wife Konno Kyoko (Nishida Naomi), Aoyagi and Yazawa are keeping a close watch on her house. The name of their late daughter was Taeko. It is the same name as Aoyagi’s live-in partner Taeko whom he once saved from stimulant addiction and he feels a strange sense of affinity. Although the two men are staked out in front of Kyoko’s apartment building, there is completely no movement. It is about time for the evening shift when Kyoko steps out. They could have changed shift in another 5 minutes … … Aoyagi curses, then starts to tail her with Yazawa. They think she may go shopping in the neighbourhood, but she gets on a train and transfer to a place far away from Tokyo. Then she alights at a station and gets into a car which has come to pick her up. Is she going to get in touch with her ex-husband? Aoyagi and Yazawa borrow a truck from a forwarding company that they happened to come across, and pursue Kyoko’s car which is bound for an unpopular mountain road. The two of them soon come into contact with her in an unexpected turn of events. Pretending to be good employees of the forwarding company, they go along with a guarded Kyoko. Will Aoyagi and Yazawa be able to track down Mizuki as the circumstances change again and again?
