Ep. 12: Military nerve gas threat forces uneasy alliance against Satou

12

The US military and Japanese government agree to deploy nerve gas beneath a Self-Defense Force base to kill Satou, risking tens of thousands of civilian lives. With seven hours remaining, Tosaki and Kei meet Satou’s men, Masumi Okuyama, Takahashi, and Gen, who offer assistance in capturing him. They reluctantly cooperate, and Kei proposes burying Satou alive. Satou and Tanaka leave the base for their hideout to prepare for the confrontation. Kei’s Ajin group ambushes them, luring Satou into underground tunnels by exploiting his psychological weaknesses. As a collapsed ceiling buries Satou, the tunnel floor gives way, causing Kei’s group to fall into the hole. Izumi resets and discovers Tosaki trapped by rubble. While searching for the others, Satou emerges from the darkness, still alive.
