Strawberry Night - Season 1 (2012)

A girlfriend is murdered with a knife in the belly. A mother is murdered with a knife in the belly. One was a shocking murder that came out of nowhere. The other was a shocking murder that stemmed from the act the preceded it. All of this happened in the family of a Metropolitan Police detective.

A former boyfriend who was jailed for the murder of his teenaged girlfriend is released from jail and has to face himself and his former detective father. New revelations, however, shed some light on the hitherto mystery of why the killing had occurred. It seems late for everyone, however, although the police detective and her unit are doing their best.

A man is murdered under the cloak of darkness and heavy rain. His body is discovered on the steps in front of his father's house where he resided. The detectives at Division One are on the case and have a theory that sheds light on the case from a different angle. Painful memories and flashbacks, however, haunt group members as does the incompetence of a bureaucrat who is more concerned with playing golf than doing his job.

A woman's voice reports a dead body to the police. When the police arrive there is not a trace of the caller and it is a mystery whether the death is due to a murder or suicide. With the autopsy results inconclusive the investigation centres on the absent woman and what she knows. There is one clue however.

Working out of a local precinct the investigative unit is digging into the past, actions and whereabouts of a man whose cause of death is inconclusive. Witnesses have helped, as have the contents of a safety deposit box. A hunch takes the lead detective to where a photo was taken to locate the woman who may be the key to unravelling the mystery of a corpse lying on a bed.

In episode one of three a complex chain of events crest with the simultaneous discovery of an amputated hand underneath a lorry and the report of a pool of blood in a garage. The more the detectives of the investigative units dig, the more it looks like they are dealing with a tangled web of business ties, the underworld's influence and human imperatives. The police men and woman have to handle the case while dealing with personal issues.

in episode two of three in the storyline, the more we learn the more confusing and entangled things become. The hand is missing a body. The name is missing an identity. The culprit is either dead or not the culprit at all. What is more the innocent are perhaps not and the case of the insurance fraud and the yakuza is even more entangled than before. An innocent waitress is shaking and a young man is potentially hiding something.

In the final episode of the serial and the third of three of the storyline surrounding the yakuza, a murder, a father figure and insurance fraud we find a young man in distress, a girlfriend with a sordid and violated past, a torso without a head or identity and many lies. Will the case finally be resolved? Will justice prevail? Will the head detective and her subordinate investigator finally get together and what will happen to the relationship between the policewoman and her parents?
