Episode Title:
24 Hours
Episode Description:
Utsubo and Isaki combine to implicate Kainuma in stalking Misaki and solicit a payment of 60 million yen from his mother using footage from the cameras they placed in her apartment. Meanwhile, Akira again meets Hinako in the park and encourages her to visualize her legs working. When Suzuki hears Kainuma threatening to kill Misaki via a bug planted in his apartment, Utsubo instructs him to kidnap Kainuma for the next phase of his operation. Hinako overhears their discussion and calls Misaki at work to warn her just as Kainuma lunges towards her with a knife. Akira reacts instinctively and quickly disables him. Kainuma later tries to flee to avoid questioning, but he is kidnapped by Suzuki, which is witnessed by Akira. Isaki drives off with Kainuma, but Akira gives Suzuki 24 hours to return him unharmed. Suzuki gets Akira's address from Isaki and visits the apartment only to find Yoko. When he threatens her, she cleverly disarms him. Elsewhere in the forest, Kainuma escapes from Isaki.
