S1·E5 "Hanzawa Transfers?! A Battle for Survival"

Miki (Dan Mitsu), having defected to the tax bureau, trades cooperation for immunity regarding funds from Higashida. She escapes from Higashida’s hideout to join Kurosaki (Ainosuke Kataoka), who awaits outside. Takashita informs Hanzawa (Masato Sakai) that it’s “all over.” At a branch meeting, Asano (Kanji Ishimaru) announces Hanzawa is effectively being transferred. Despite the looming transfer, Hanzawa mounts a final resistance against Asano, leading to uncertain confrontations and consequences.
