Bloody Monday - Episode Two

.
Good gravy.

This episode, some random girl, who recd a package at the end of episode one, gets gassed by the package. The terrorist reveals to THIRD-i the name of the girl and her address. They send a hazmat like team over and it turns out she becomes the first infected person in Tokyo. They take her for observation. The terrorist tells THIRD-i that they want Falcon.

Takagi takes his friend Otoya (from their newspaper club) to use the teacher's computer to show him what he was forced to delete in exchange for his sister's life. Oddly, it was also deleted from the teacher's computer. But Takagi has a back up copy. Together they watch the video of the people dying at the Russian church. They wonder what it is about the video that the terrorists would want it deleted. They watch it again and they see a figure in the background. They stop and enlarge it...they notice..it kind of looks like their teacher. They decide to investigate.

The teacher, Orihara Maya, sees Takagi outside on a park bench and she goes over to talk to him. He asks her what she was doing last Christmas. She tells him she rented a DVD and watched it alone. Takagi asks Orihara for her rental card and she shows it to him. He asks to borrow it and she lets him. He hacks into the rental store's computer and finds that she did rent movies on both the 24th and 25th of December. He also gets into their surveillance cameras and sees her, alone renting those days. He calls Otoya to tell him that they were mistaken and the woman in that film could not be Orihara since he saw her on the camera so she has an alibi. But Otoya tells him "That's not an alibi at all".

Takagi and Otoya arrive together at Orihara's apartment. They beg her to please forgive two of her stupid students. They invite her out to lunch. While she goes to change, Takagi gets a phone call and is called away to aid his sister (Orihara can hear the conversation). Otoya stays behind and tells Orihara it will just be the two of them. They drive off to the restaurant. It turns out that Takagi had only faked leaving the apartment and he was hiding in her shower. He looked around for some kind of evidence that she was involved in the Christmas Massacre. He eyes her computer and turns it on.

In the meantime, Otoya and Orihara are at the restaurant and Otoya says she should order whatever she wants. After about 5 min, Orihara excuses herself to use the bathroom but she actually leaves the restaurant and heads back to her place. Since it seemed like she was taking such a long time, Otoya goes to look for Orihara's car and it's gone. He starts running back and he calls Takagi to let him know she's on her way back. Takagi tells him he needs at least 10 more minutes to copy the files onto his flashdrive.

Orihara arrives to find Takagi standing in front of her door and the alarm going off. He tells her the sound has been coming from her place for a few minutes. She tells him it must be the alarm...he grabs the keys from her hands and offers to go in ahead of her. He looks around and says there is nobody in the apartment. He starts to stall as he's left the flashdrive still in her computer. She figures it out when she looks in that room and sees the flashdrive on her laptop. Takagi tells her he was mistaken about what he thought of her being the woman in that video. He asked her what did she do for Christmas THIS year? He explained that Otoya had told him Russian Orthodox Christmas is January 7th and not December 25th. The jig is up. Orihara, with her back to Takagi, tells him she was at church during the Christmas Massacre. She turns around and points her gun at him.

That's it. Again, I've left a bit out here and there so as not to tell the whole episode cuz what would be the point in watching if I'm writing the whole thing here?
