Bingo was almost killed by Teshio, who told him to bring the legendary assassin Della Togashi if he wanted to be saved. However He did not know Della Togashi, so decided to bring a fake. Murata, who knows nothing about it, plays the role of Della Togashi in front of Teshio with his signature overacting. Teshio, whose life is threatened by Jun Ebola (Teruyuki Kagawa), who is in conflict with the gang Teshio Shokai, decides to use Della Togashi to protect himself. Eventually, the plan goes awry and Murata realizes that he was not filming the movie. Deciding that all is not well, Murata calls his film friends to Scago and comes up with a play to fool Teshio, but Teshio and Mari both escape. The real assassin, Della Togashi, appears before Murata. Murata and his film crew collaborate to put on a once-in-a-lifetime act to fool Della Togashi.
