In season 1 episode 12, entitled "Kids Get Special Treatment: A Beautiful Lady from a Dangerous Land," Ryo and his partner Kaori get wrapped up in an intense case involving a mysterious woman from a foreign country.
The episode starts with Ryo and Kaori in their office, when suddenly they receive a call from a little girl. The girl tells Ryo that her father has been kidnapped, and she needs his help. Ryo decides to take on the case, and the trio sets off to rescue the man from his captors.
As they investigate, they discover that the man's kidnapping is related to a dispute between the governments of two countries. The man is from a small, remote island, and his country is being pressured by a neighboring country to give up control of the island. The kidnappers are believed to be working for the other country, with the goal of forcing the man's country to relinquish control.
Ryo and Kaori begin to dig deeper, trying to find out who is behind the kidnapping. They soon cross paths with a mysterious woman who is also interested in the case. She is beautiful and well-dressed, but Ryo senses that there is something dangerous about her.
The woman reveals that she is actually a spy from the country trying to take control of the island. She has been sent to Tokyo to gather information on her country's enemies, and she believes that the kidnapping is the work of her own government. She enlists Ryo's help in figuring out who is behind the plot, and the trio continues to search for answers.
As they investigate, Ryo and Kaori discover that the kidnappers are from a criminal organization that has ties to both countries. The organization is using the kidnapping as a way to manipulate the political situation and take control of the island. In order to save the little girl's father and prevent a war, Ryo and Kaori must find a way to stop the organization before it's too late.
As they work together, Ryo and the beautiful spy begin to develop feelings for each other. However, with tensions rising and danger lurking around every corner, the two must focus on their mission and resist the temptation to let their emotions get in the way.
In the end, Ryo and Kaori succeed in stopping the criminal organization and rescuing the man. The spy must leave Tokyo and return to her own country, but Ryo promises to keep in touch. As they say their goodbyes, Ryo reflects on the danger and excitement of his City Hunter lifestyle, and the importance of helping those in need.
