Kosaku Kuroda (Yuji Oda) asks Foreign Minister Shusuke Saito (Masaomi Kondo) for permission to negotiate with Tsuyoshi Shimomura (Teruyuki Kagawa), who has taken former Prime Minister Seiichiro Yatabe (Sei Hiraizumi) hostage in a waiting room at a diplomatic conference venue. The venue itself has been occupied by Keiichi Yuki (Masato Hagiwara) and Aiko Sasaki (Nana Katase), who are holding Vice Minister of Foreign Affairs Shoko Kanjo (Tamiyo Kusakari) at gunpoint. Meanwhile, Rikako Ogaki (Ko Shibasaki) and Rui (Kaho) are at the hospital with Yutaro Kimijima (Takahiro Nishijima). Rui feels responsible for worsening Yutaro's condition.
