Those Were the Days

Two cops come to know one another better while investigating a murder that proves to be more complicated than it seems in this drama from Japan. Keisuke Okishima (Ittoku Kishibe) is a veteran police detective who has recently been teamed up with a new partner, Kaoru Kono (Saki Takaoka), a female officer who is short on both experience and patience with men. When a middle-aged man is found dead by a river and foul play seems likely, Okishima and Kono are sent in to investigate. They interview Kazuo (Takahito Hosoyamada), stepson of the murdered man, and though he admits to taking part in the crime, he insists he didn't act alone. Kazuo claims his sister Nami (Mirai Yamamoto) instigated the crime and did the lion's share of the work, so Okishima and Kono set out to find her. When staking out Nami's flat produces no results, they try to track down her former boyfriend Shinji Sekikawa (Michitaka Tsutsui), and soon they have reason to believe he may also be involved with the murder.
