Abduction.Episode Description:
Hazama, Yabu, and four other men are kidnapped by the loan shark Tachiiri, to whom they owe large debts. Tachiiri offers to clear the debts of the man who donates his heart for a transplant needed by the cult leader Tomezō Kanayama. The donor screening tests reveal two candidates: Hazama and Raymond. The rest of the men are freed, and Kanayama personally chooses Hazama to be his donor. However, when the black market surgeon that Tachiiri hired fails to show up, the cult members threaten them and Hazama is forced to perform what would be the first-ever heart transplant in Japan. Raymond, an illegal immigrant, offers his heart in exchange for money to be sent to his family for the treatment of his young daughter's leukemia. Yabu returns and assists Hazama, but tries to convince him to cancel the surgery as it will require Raymond's death. Hazama is tempted to proceed, but before he can begin, Kanayama dies from cardiac arrest. Hazama then decides to perform plastic surgery to make Raymond resemble Kanayama. As a result, Raymond survives albeit in the guise of Kanayama, and money is sent to his family allowing his daughter to recover.
