It turns out that Takano Feed, an agricultural corporation where Jahid (Yukio Ueno), a dope dealer, worked, was involved in drug smuggling. To catch them, Jinnai, Saiki, and Watanuki (Yuko Araki) rush into Takano Feed. When Takano Feed's president, Takano (Yuki Kubota), sees Saiki and his friends, he swallows the dope.
Saiki cooperates with Watanuki and corners Takano. He aims his gun at Takano and tells him to "put down the gun and not resist". However, the next moment, Saiki is controlled by Takano's telepathy and aims the gun at Jinnai...
After that, Saiki and Jinnai engaged in a heated action scene, and social media was filled with comments such as, "Kaito's acting in the scene where Saiki, being controlled, tries to kill Jinnai was amazing," "The scene where Saiki was controlled gave me goosebumps!", "The action scene between Saiki and Jinnai was incredible - I could watch it over and over again," "The action scene between Tomoya and Kai in DOPE was great!" and "Saiki, being controlled with no expression or emotion, was so scary it gave me goosebumps!"
The story is based on the same-titled novel (Kadokawa Bunko) by Kizaki Chiaki, who made her debut as a novelist after winning the grand prize in the 20th Dengeki Novel Prize with "Hakata Tonkotsu Ramens." Set in a near-future Japan where a mysterious new drug called "DOPE" is rampant, Saiki Yuto, a rookie narcotics agent with the secret Narcotics Control Department Special Investigation Division (Special Investigation Division), and Jinnai Teppei, the division's trainer, attempt to solve a mysterious case.
