Kondo learns that the illicit loan to Tamiya Electronics is actually controlled by Executive Oowada’s (Teruyuki Kagawa) wife, Takako Tanahashi (Akiko Aizuki). Hanzawa (Masato Sakai) asks Kondo to obtain testimony from Tamiya’s president to confront Oowada. As the final Financial Services Agency hearing approaches, Hanzawa prepares a daring plan and tries to persuade hotel president Yuasa (Taro Suruga). The decision impacts the century-old hotel profoundly. Kondo successfully gets the testimony but mysteriously disappears before joining Hanzawa and Tomari.
