Episode 5 Plot: Hachimaki, Tanabe, and Fee decide to go to the Moon for their holiday, and happen to end up on a lunar ferry co-piloted by Cheng-Shin. On the trip over, Tanabe loses her wallet. After confusing an actor for a thug, Hachimaki fills in for a movie scene, not long before the film equipment is confiscated because the film crew didn't have permits. A mother and father are planning to commit suicide on the ferry and to take their daughter with them, because they are deeply in debt. A pickpocket is reported to have stolen Tanabe's wallet and the poison intended for the daughter. The pickpocket takes the daughter hostage, but with Cheng-Shin's help, Hachimaki rescues her. The girl's parents find a renewed will to live from the experience.
