A team was sent from the headquarters to the bank to conduct an on-site inspection which lasts for 3 days. However, the first 2 days, that team keeps accusing Naoki’s section of being incompetent because some papers are not in the files. But Naoki later figures out that they have been stealing the papers and pretending that Naoki’s section has not done their job. Naoki then exposes the team with the help of his section members. Meanwhile, Noaki finds out that the condo Higashida was staying in belongs to a Komura, a sick old man who has many properties. Naoki visits Komura and finds out that Higashida is managing Komura’s properties. Naoki is approached by a reporter who wants to write an article about the steel company bankrupt. Naoki leaked info to the reporter but in exchange of finding Komura’s daughter, and with that, Naoki manages to help Komura meet his family and Komura tells him Higashide whereabouts.

My favorite episode to date

First of all, haha at the Canon 60d product placement.
Secondly, WHAT A TERRIFIC episode. I loved how Hanzawa was able to squeeze his way out of the trap.

Narohodo

This episode was great as usual.

It makes sense why Asano is after Naoki that much. Not only that the on-site inspection almost drove Naoki to the corner due to Asano but he’s actually the one behind Higashida? Now it makes sense if he was rushing the loan; he had a plan with Higashida nad planned to make Naoki responsible for it ever since the beginning. I wonder how Naoki’s reaction will be now.

I am also glad that Ogiso got transferred because of stealing the documents; Nakanishi took Naoki’s side after all. That Dupity Manager Ogiso pissed the heck out of me especially when he’s clapping on the table; I wish someone would slap him at that moment. Another failure from Asano’s side to bring Naoki down.

I believe Owada won’t bring Naoki down; he will let him get the 500 million back because he wants to revive the name of the old Sangyu Chuo and Naoki comes from there.
