Ep. 8: Matsu Menyidik Tiket yang Dicuri dan Menjadi Tawanan
Ume decides to quit Five Leaves and Matsu decides to stop visiting Ume's tavern. While Matsu is with metal smith Kikuya, an employee mentions that the wooden tickets from his clients allowing access to their premises, have been stolen from him. Kikuya suspects the culprit is his competitor Ootsuya who visited while he was away. Matsu enters Ootsuya's premises at night to investigate but is caught and held prisoner. Matsu's disappearance is noticed by Masa and Ume who go looking for him. They trace him to Kikuya who explains how some time ago he paid the medical expenses for Matsu's child, and that he told Matsu about the missing tags and his suspicions about Ootsuya . Masa then gets work as a bodyguard for Ootsuya in an effort to free Matsu. (Source: Wikipedia)
