LOST10 Episode 2 Ends With Tabata's Rooftop Jump

The second episode of TBS's Friday drama LOST10, starring Ryusei Yokohama, aired on the 23rd and closed with tour guide Tabata, played by Marie Iitoyo, pushing past Komako and jumping from a rooftop. Tabata had gone missing after a phone call from someone at the hospital. Her daughter Nono has an intractable disease, and Tabata was positioned to handle the tour participants' mountain insurance.

Tabata had been the one person able to falsify the tour applications, and her interview testimony cornered Aya while Aya's account contradicted hers. Aya's fingerprints on a plastic bottle at the scene had already deepened suspicion. Then Tabata took a call from someone at the hospital, vanished, and was found crying on her apartment rooftop. She told Komako "It's okay, everything will work out," pushed him away, and jumped. The search had already confirmed Nikaido's death, with Aya and Tabata rescued and three still missing. Mountain insurance on every participant, a 20 million yen maximum with Aya as beneficiary, and 150 million yen in life insurance fraud around Nikaido's wife Harune had turned the disaster into an insurance case.
