Summary of Episode 4 of the drama "The Kidnapping Day"

The fourth episode of the drama series "The Kidnapping Day" (TV Asahi, Tuesdays at 9 PM), starring actor Saito Takumi, will be broadcast on July 29th. The synopsis and scene cuts have been released.

Masamune Shinjo (Saito) wakes up in the research villa of Dr. Yukiko Mizuhara (Uchida Yuki). Seeing Rin Nanase (Yuno Nagao) asleep with a mysterious device attached to her head, Shinjo lashes out, "Give Rin back!" but Mizuhara replies, "She is the hope of humanity," and "This is the safest place for her." He then explains the reason he was pursuing Rin and the secrets of the genius girl's mind.

Mizuhara tells Rin that he will hide her at his villa to protect her, and asks Shinjo to break up with Rin and go into hiding. In return, he will arrange for Shinjo's daughter Mei (Kusaka Riho) to have heart surgery and take full responsibility for her care after she is released from the hospital. Shinjo thinks that Rin would be happier staying here than on the run with him, a penniless wanted criminal, and decides to break up.

Meanwhile, the head of the prefectural police's Criminal Investigation Department, Yasuaki Tatsuoka (played by Satoshi Tokushige), takes his subordinates to a team of detectives from the prefectural police force, including Tsukasa Sunouchi (played by Yosuke Eguchi). He declares that the prefectural police's First Investigation Division will now be investigating under his command. Sunouchi and the other detectives from the prefectural police force are excluded from the investigation...

The original work is a popular Korean drama of the same name (2023). It tells the story of Shinjo, who becomes a kidnapper to pay for his daughter's heart surgery, and Nanase Rin, a genius girl with amnesia, who become partners through an unexpected turn of events and are chased by unidentified men.
