Captured Hospital (Japanese: 大病院占拠, Hepburn: Dai byōin senkyo), is a Nippon TV drama that aired from January 14, 2023 to March 18, 2023.
[1] It is an original suspense drama in which a detective on leave confronts the mysterious criminal armed group wearing demon masks that have taken hostages at a large hospital.
[2] A new series, ''Undercover siblings: Special fraud investigators'' [ja], which starts on October 5, 2024, unites in a crossover teams from Voice: 110 Emergency Control Room and Captured Hospital/Captured New Airport, with Gunpi reprising his role as Renji Shima in the first episode.
Saburo Musashi is currently on leave and receiving psychological treatment at the hospital for a fatal incident in which he was involved the year before.
Saburo has just ended his treatment, and is calling his wife, to no avail, when he hears a faint tick tock behind a closed door.
He recovers from the explosion, and reports the incident to police superintendent Izumi, when he is surrounded by a group of the mask-wearing captors, who attack him with gun-wielding drones.
[7] Saburo goes to the police's Field Command Headquarters, from where he starts a discussion with Blue Oni, the armed group's leader.
As Saburo is on a time-limited search for things that will uncover truths about medical doctor Daisuke Tosa and others, his wife is trying to negotiate the release of nurse Shiori, who is ill, and other hostages.
[9] Saburo continues his mission of retrieving the information, but is late in relaying his findings to Blue Oni, which makes him angry.
Blue Oni urges Saburo to find out Governor Nagato's "sins", at the same time that it is shown that the Musashis' daughter, Emiri, has left the hotel where she was being protected by the police, and goes missing.
[11] The story continues with Blue Oni showing images of an unconscious Emiri, who was taken by one of the members of the masked group, and has been locked in a freezer.
Reporter Yui Inaba, who has been behind the scenes relaying information about the hostage situation on her channel, has the biggest scoop, as she reveals the identity of a pair of the masked team on a live feed.
Reprising their roles from the original, besides Sakurai, are Manami Higa (who plays Saburo's wife, Yūko Musashi, one of the hostages in the first series), Sonim (Sakura Izumi, Superintendent of the Kanagawa Police), and Gunpi (Renji Shima, Kanagawa Police Lieutenant and Information Analyst at KSBC).
[31][32] Kemono As with the previous series, the images of the masked group members were being revealed in parts, with both the character and the actor's identities remaining a secret to be uncovered.
The first image posted of the armed team's members was that of "Dragon", the group's leader, [38] while the first "Beast" to be revealed was "Snake".
Futaba tells Musashi that it was responding a call regarding the disappearance of their older brother Kenichi,[43] occurred 30 years before.
[45] As the team receives information from Musashi, Shima and Iwatsuki notice that the animals from the armed group's masks follow those of the zodiac, but is missing two: mouse and dog.
A surveillance camera live feed of them is then projected unto the main hall at the airport, and the HQ police team take notice of this.
It's a man, barely holding on, but who manages to slip some kind of device into Yuko's trouser pocket undetected.
The police are planning a way to close in on the group[47] and arrive at the airport, checking through a trash chute, from which Musashi comes out, wrapped, and with a bomb on him, that he barely escapes from.
[48] Musashi learns that, a year before, Shirakawa sued Momoka Niimi for embezzlement after she complained about cases of power harassment from him.
This time, "Tiger" and "Monkey" are revealed, much to the surprise of the entire investigation group, since it was former Special Forces SAT Administrator Kazuki Tamba and his son, Naoki.
Both left the force 6 months before..[18][49] It was thought that Tamba's wife Ai, a freelance journalist, had died by suicide, after being slandered by allegations of fabrication, consequence of an article she had written, but there was no proof.
That information may come from an unexpected source: Koichi Yamato (Blue Oni, leader in the hospital incident), who Musashi visits in jail.
[23] Musashi thinks Yamato and Suruga are linked in the current incident, but he says that they were only business partners in the past, relaying information.
Ayabe left his phone in the car, and Yuko reads incoming messages, one telling him to get rid of her and Emiri.
Tendo distances herself from the group, and reads a note passed by the Beasts, in which they give her the option to poison one of the hostages to be let free.
