A few days later, Makita is summoned by Takao Anjo ( Kaoru Kobayashi ), vice president of the company, who informs him that the suicide may have been related to one of the company's drugs. Makita, on Anjo's special order, goes to the police to find out what happened. Nagahara Pharmaceutical is currently suffering from a slump in business performance, and the breakdown of merger negotiations with a foreign company could be fatal to the company.

Then he learns that the autopsy report contains the ingredients of the drug that is in the middle of a whirlpool. Under the obligation to report to the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare, Anjo orders Makita to settle with the victim's bereaved family and to cover up the drug-related damage. Makita, who is confused with the fate of his company, tries to ask for help from Tatsumi Takafuji ( Toshiro Yanagiba ), a corporate lawyer of the president's faction, whom Anjo intends to eliminate after the merger. Will Makita dirty his own hands for the benefit of the company?
