Five years have passed since Kuryu Kohei's transfer from Tokyo to Ishigaki, and then to Sapporo. He ends up in a small town of Nijigaura in Yamaguchi Prefecture.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

The special episode constructs a compelling clash between societal conformity and one man's rigid sense of justice. It relies on the murder investigation to explore themes of integrity within a complacent system.

What lingers after the mystery is solved is the quiet portrait of a man who remains a hero precisely when no one expects him to be. — MovieFinder Editorial

Director: Kensaku Sawada

Best Watched

With a warm drink, for a classic character-driven drama that values principle over spectacle.
