Bayside Policewoman Story Early Summer Traffic Safety Special (1998)
In April 1998, Natsumi Shinohara (played by Yuki Uchida), fresh out of the police academy, was assigned to the Traffic Division at the Wangan Police Station. This was the very station where the legendary detective Shunsaku Aomori (played by Yuji Oda) had once worked. Natsumi, who had hoped to serve with honor as a police officer, soon discovered that the Wangan Police Station was nothing more than a bunch of lecherous higher-ups and ordinary officers who went about their duties like any other office workers. To make matters worse, the senior officer assigned to mentor her turned out to be Saeko Kuwano (played by Eriko Watanabe), known as the “Rookie Killer.” Feeling frustrated, Natsumi drowned her sorrows at a bar one night—only to run into a criminal suspect! In search of the meaning of her work as a police officer, Natsumi resolved to prove the truth in her heart through her own actions.The second special episode of the “Great Search Line” TV series.
