Representing a factory worker accused of killing his boss, attorney Akizumi visits the scene of the crime with his colleagues to investigate.
Akizumi comes up with a new theory after looking into the records of previous cases that Himeno prosecuted. His team begins investigating further.
Akizumi takes on a case in which the son of a prominent politician is accused of a violent assault, but Akamine doubts the defendant's innocence.
As Akizumi begins representing a young man suspected of attacking women, Akamine and Shinomiya get closer to understanding Akizumi's true aims.
Shinomiya confronts Akizumi about why he hired her. Later, Akizumi's team works to undermine the relationship between Uno, the police and Sendo.
