Why it matters

The missing piece of a streaming slate matters more than a routine addition here: the episode Netflix skipped in June is one of the series' most talked-about, so its arrival changes what a full run of the show on the service actually contains.

Takuya Kimura guest stars as the culprit who planted a bomb on an amusement park Ferris wheel, and the episode is known for the closing scene in which the usually gentle Furuhata shows an unexpected side.

Episode 4 of Season 2 is not simply another installment in the Fuji TV detective drama. The installment had been absent from the catalog when the show arrived on Netflix in June, and it is the one built around a bomber on an amusement park Ferris wheel played by Takuya Kimura. The series runs on an inverted mystery format, with the culprit and the crime shown up front and the episode spent watching Masakazu Tamura's Furuhata close in. The final scene is the reason fans single this episode out.
