"Fugitive: Kijima Jouichirou" takes place two months before the events described in "Negotiator." A man takes a small boy hostage in a house. The police negotiator, Mashita (Yusuke Santamaria), tries to talk the kidnapper into giving up the boy, but is unsuccessful. Detective Kijima (Susumu Terajima) takes over and rescues the boy by force. However, when the police try to take the boy back to his parents he panics and puts up resistance. After talking to him, Kijima takes the boy under his wing and escapes, becoming a fugitive himself.
