Ep. 8: Uncovered orchestrates a complex rescue plan to free Sakuragi from captivity.

8

Uncovered devises a strategy to liberate Sakuragi and shares it with the group. Joe volunteers to retrieve a key from Dr. Sasaki, feigning illness to enter the doctor's office. There, he manipulates Sasaki into stripping before strangling and binding him with a cloth rope. Joe returns to the cell to release the other boys. At Sakuragi's cell, Mario knocks Ishihara unconscious to carry Sakuragi away. A guard discovers the tied-up doctor and raises the alarm. Uncovered sacrifices himself to distract the guards, cutting the electricity and search lights. At the gate, Cabbage and Soldier hold off pursuers. Outside, Ishihara ambushes the group and attempts to stab Sakuragi, but Mario knocks him out again. After escaping, Mario feels depressed about losing the others, but Joe and Turtle reassure him that his determination saved Sakuragi's life.
