    • Synopsis
    • A group of police are tasked with transporting him unharmed to police HQ in Tokyo.

      After killing a 7-year-old girl, psychopath Kunihide Kyomaru turns himself in to the police. Since his victim was the daughter of a billionaire, terminally ill billionaire Ninagawa, who buys ads in all the major papers offering a hefty bounty for anyone who kills Kunihide. There are a few caveats, including a clause that the execution must be authorized by the government, but the consequences are clear: It's open season on Kunihide, who has nothing but five dedicated cops to protect him, led by security police lieutenant Kazuki Mekari.
