Ep. 2: Ibara and Taeko assist Mitsuo in locating his daughter Miku while Yukiko holds the child hostage.

2

Ibara and Taeko encounter Mitsuo Kawabata, who requests help finding his daughter Miku. They visit his underground shelter, where Mitsuo explains he and his wife Yukiko escaped the meltdown as prisoners, which is why he did not call for help. Mitsuo believes Miku is at her late mother’s grave in a stadium, so Ibara and Taeko go there while Aoi stays with Yukiko. Meanwhile, Onihei discovers the rescued survivor’s hazmat suit offers superior protection. Ibara and Taeko find Miku is not at the stadium and learn from Aoi that Yukiko has vanished. Aoi reveals Yukiko was imprisoned for killing her own child and seeks redemption as a stepmother. Ibara deduces Yukiko took Miku hostage to avoid leaving Tokyo. Using Taeko’s dog, they track Yukiko to a leaning hotel, where she explains her husband would be arrested if they were rescued. After Ibara convinces Yukiko for Miku’s sake, half the hotel collapses. Yukiko sacrifices herself so Ibara can save Miku. Onihei attempts to retrieve Mitsuo by helicopter, but high radiation causes him to die slowly while thanking the Coppelions. Before departing, Aoi apologizes to Miku for failing to save her parents, stating they must continue searching for other survivors.
