The Transporters engage The GetBackers in an abandoned shrine. Ginji and Akabane fight while Himiko battles Ban. Ban overpowers Himiko with his grip and nearly reveals Yamato's death. Akabane displays his glowing knives, but Ginji uses magnetic electricity to defeat him. The pair leaves to continue their retrieval. The next morning, Himiko seeks The GetBackers, but Akabane departs, satisfied with the previous encounter. Himiko and driver Maguruma locate them. Maguruma attempts to ram the group, but Ban uses Evil Eye on a crow to induce a nightmare, causing Maguruma to crash into a pole. Ohtaki informs them the box contains only a "platinum" watermelon, and they receive one tenth as their reward.
