Tired of chasing celebrity scandals, tabloid reporter Mishima undertakes a new challenge when his boss sends him to meet with an ex-yakuza informant.

Kihara hands Mishima the cigarette case he received and tells him to deliver it to a man named Kawamura, who turns hostile when he sees its contents.

After stopping a man from assaulting Mishima at the hostess club, Kihara gets the attacker to give up the location of the Takizawa clan's boss.

At the nightclub, Kihara confronts the mastermind behind the killings, leading to a brawl between their crews that spills out into the street.

After Saeki and his men kidnap Kawamura, Kihara receives a call requesting a hostage exchange. Mishima's colleague goes to secretly film the meeting.

Five years earlier, expectant father Ainosuke Kawamura works as a driver for Kihara, who has started a business selling the secrets of the powerful.

After she and Mishima learn that the police plan to pin everything on Kihara, Nagasawa offers to help Detective Maruyama investigate further.

Learning of Takizawa’s whereabouts, Kihara tries to blackmail an old acquaintance in law enforcement into helping him put a plan into motion.

When Mishima presses him for his source, Kihara talks about a well-connected man. Nagasawa tries to stop Mishima from continuing the investigation.

Kihara tells Mishima about how Ishigami has been behind everything — and steels his resolve to settle the score with Saeki once and for all.
