Subtitle: The Actress~Part 1~(女優〜前編〜)
This is the first episode of a two part mini-series.
As a result of Chief Cabinet Secretary Suzaku's orders from the previous episode, Inspector Ukyō has been fired from his job.
Actress Yūzuki Komine(小峰 夕月), along with her lover and manager Shinjirō Matsunaga(松永 慎二郎), shoot and murder her common law husband Hikoroku Furuya(古谷 彦六), a screenwriter of mystery shows, by reenacting a part of the episode Furuya was currently writing.
Even though Inspector Ukyō is out of a job, he realizes that whoever broke into the Furuya residence oddly acted like a robber(someone who steals by force) and a thief(someone who just steals) during the break-in. Sergeant Kaoru reports this to his new boss Kaionji, who decides to hire Inspector Ukyō at the Kōjimachi West Police Department(麹町東署).
Can the Tokumeigakari pair recover and catch the actress and her manager?
