When the ship captain steers into some branches, Sugimoto and Botaro are tossed overboard.
Meanwhile, we see Sofia is in Otaru.
What could she be planning?
We then dash over to Sapporo, where Usami and Kikuta are investigating the serial killings.
Among them is Private Ariko, with whom Kikuta has a chat about allegiances.
Ariko laments that neither Tsurumi nor Nagakura trust him, which I guess makes him an unfit double agent.
Sugimoto, Asirpa, and Shiraishi are arriving at Sapporo when it is quite the happening tinderbox.
