Mizuzaki rescues Hajime and Tokihara from the water and seizes command of the vessel. The group lands on an island to find assistance, where reporter Yoshikazu Akai is separated from the group. He believes he spots the captain but is deceived and pushed off a cliff to his death. Upon returning to the ship, Hajime examines the evidence and identifies Chief Engineer Kentaro Otsuki as the murderer. Otsuki takes Mizuzaki hostage in the wheelhouse just as an alarm sounds because the ship is drifting toward a reef. The vessel is diverted at the last moment, indicating that another person possesses the ability to control the ship.
