In episode 5, Chief Director Kajiwara (Tamaki Reo) gets information about the cover-up of a police assault case. Kajiwara's old friend, Akasaka Minami Police Station Chief Takeno (Ogawa Tamaki), wants to make an internal complaint. Shindo ( Hiroshi Abe) and his team head to interview Takeno, but she doesn't show up at the appointed time. Instead, Takeno holds an emergency press conference to deny the assault incident itself.
Kajiwara thinks that Erika (Kikuchi Akiko) from the Social Affairs Department leaked information to the higher-ups of the police and put pressure on Takeno. He begins to investigate the truth behind the assault on his own, but it develops into a major problem that involves the police and the entire JBN.
Meanwhile, Shindo volunteers to be the chief of Akasaka Minami Police Station for one day. What is his purpose in doing so...?
