Subtitle: The Two-Headed Devil~the Fallen Angel(双頭の悪魔II〜堕天使)
This is the middle episode of a three part mini-series.
Chief Cabinet Secretary Suzaku attempts to end the investigation into Aide Sawamura's death by demoting, firing, and putting pressure on those involved in the investigation.
In spite of those pressures, Inspector Ukyō continues his investigation, tracking down information about the wiretapping incident from Shikatebukuro to Teruyama and finally to the prime minister's secretaries. Once the secretaries confirm that the Prime Minister's Official Residence was wiretapped, Inspector Ukyō next investigates to determine if Aide Sawamura really committed suicide. Sergeant Kaoru, warned by General Inspector Ōkōchi that Inspector Ukyō is about to get fired, rushes back from his new post to help the inspector solve the case before the police department fires the inspector.
Along the way, they hear a surprising rumor - Representative Hinako is Chief Cabinet Secretary Suzaku's lover. When confronted, Representative Hinako denies this rumor, but questioning Representative Hinkako leads to the real culprit behind Shikatebukuro's stabbing. A shocking end concludes the middle part of the three-part story.
