This episode picks up where the previous one left off, though it features first Otsuki. This may be on account of people being more curious about the honcho than Tonegawa overall (though we're just as much enthusiastic about our charismatic executive). Otsuki tries to strike a deal with Odagiri, but the latter is suspicious of his plump peer's ulterior motivations. Seems that Odagiri is onto Otsuki trying to pry into his movie exhibition business, but Otsuki's intentions aren't so obvious at this point. He tries to win Odagiri over with a dinner complete with alcoholic beverages to allay his suspicions and make him more cooperative to his proposal. It's never revealed what it actually, but the audience can gather that it's related to a part of the profits yielded from Odagiri's sideways undertaking. Either that or outright deception. The money-hungry foreman is on the brink of cementing the deal, even getting their black-suited overseer as the witness to their joint partnership, but falls just short when it comes to light that he had never watched "Once upon a time in America". His unsuspecting partner insists that he watch this NOW, conveniently showing that on his tablet computer. The only problem is that the feature is longer than their remaining time on the surface. The future of their deal is left uncertain as both are driven back to their old familiar world.
As for Tonegawa, he manages to get ahold of a crucial piece of evidence when one of his trusted men notices a picture of a cell phone on one of the past posts. Using photoshop cs6, the brightnness of the image is increased until the reflection on the mobile screen is clear enough to be discerned by all onlookers. Turns out it has been Ebitani all along, and Tonegawa conveniently happens to spot him just outside their headquarters. Tonegawa and his team quickly descend to where the lone wolf is standing, and proceed to confront him about his spiteful actions. In true Phoenix Wright fashion, Ebitami confesses his misdeed along with his motivation in an effusion of perceived slights. This is all for nought though as Tonegawa has him sedated right away and locked up. However, he isn't taken to a regular cell, it's more like a studio apartment outfitted with all the wonders of modern technology: a plasm tv set, a blu-ray player, a computer etc. All part of Tonegawa's design to allow for the stray sheep to amend his ways and start tweeting for Teiai instead of his selfish purposes, the condition for his parole being the threshold of 100000 followers. In the end, we see him exiting his comfort prison, presumably successful in his duty.
