S1 E6:
For Urara Asakura, Japan’s first female prime minister candidate, a breakfast meeting with people of her Minsei Party draws near but she is interrupted by underground informant Joshu, who brings shocking news. He says he had covered up evidence that her son, Yuta, had committed murder in the past. Not only that, Joshu said it was Yuta himself who asked him to do it. Urara is devastated about this cover-up that was carried out behind her back and she tells Joshu that she wishes to sever ties with him. However, Joshu has some unsettling words for her. On the other hand, Counter Terrorist Unit Section 1 Team A Captain Genba Shido is convinced that the kidnapping of his daughter, Miyu and the plot to assassinate Urara are linked. He senses that Suzu Hakozaki, Miyu’s friend who was also kidnapped and is in critical condition after a car accident, is also in danger and he rushes to the hospital. He confides in his wife, Rikka and declares that he will save Miyu no matter the cost but then, Genba suddenly receives a call from Tamizo Kanbayashi, the mysterious man who is thought to have a hand in the assassination plot. The call from an unknown man makes Genba tense. Kanbayashi tells Genba to follow his orders if he wishes to see his daughter again. Genba has no choice but to abide as Kanbayashi mercilessly uses his daughter’s life as a bargaining chip. Just then, CTU discovers the identity of the unidentified body, which Kanbayashi had ordered his henchman Eifuku Chingen to dispose of. The truth is hardly believable but hints at a new danger that is closing in on Genba and his family.
