The drama series "PUNCH-DRUNK WOMAN - XX Days Left Until Prison Break" (NTV, Sunday 10:30 pm) starring actress Ryoko Shinohara has released the synopsis and stills for episode 6, which will air on March 1st.
The escort vehicle carrying the escape members finally leaves the detention center. Kozue Fuyuki (played by Shinohara), a prison guard at Hikawa Detention Center, asks Reiji Kusaka (played by Jesse), a suspect in the murder of his father, for help in thwarting the cult's escape plan, but is betrayed and imprisoned in a supplies warehouse.
The warehouse is filled with chlorine gas planted by Reiji, putting Kozue's life in danger. However, Ebiwara (Koseki Yuta), an informant hiding in the detention center as a prison guard, hijacks an escort vehicle and joins his followers who are waiting in the underground parking lot of the courthouse. They switch cars and attempt to escape.
Meanwhile, Koyanagi (Ukaji Takashi), the head of the treatment department, who became acting director after the prison escape, continues to relentlessly pursue Reiji's case...
The drama is an original story inspired by a true story from overseas, in which a female prison guard helped a male inmate escape and ran away with him. The script is by Yoshihiro Izumi, who has worked on "Laughing Matryoshka" and other works, and the director is Tsuyoshi Nakakuki, who has worked on "The Unforgettable 'I'" and "Secret Mitsuko-san," and Seiichi Nagumo, who has worked on "Waru" and "The Reluctant Preacher."
