The Salvation of Job is the fourth episode of Psycho-Pass 2.
Synopsis
Akane Tsunemori attempts to interrogate Kotoku Masuda about Kirito Kamui, but he claims not to know him. Meanwhile, in the medical facility, Koki Mima has his hostages stripped and starts killing them, one by one, to raise their stress levels, claiming to be a savior in the name of Kamui. Risa Aoyanagi manages to retrieve her Dominator, but discovers the culprit is still below enforcement level while the hostages are already above. Mima claims to have recovered from "Eustress Deficiency", which is thought to be an urban legend. He states he is on a mission to save people from this disease. After having Joji Saiga look at the equipment Masuda used prior to his arrest, Tsunemori theorizes that Kamui is somewhere within the medical facility, believing that he is studying the operation of Dominators and how to use them. When Division 03 is sent to take over from Mika Shimotsuki's group, Aoyanagi manages to take Mima by surprise and undo the locks. However, she and all the other hostages are killed by Division 3 as a result of their high Crime Coefficients, while Mima is also executed after bidding farewell to Kamui, who has learned that Inspectors can also be judged by Dominators. Arriving on the scene to find a bloodbath, Tsunemori discovers what is left of Aoyanagi and yet another "WC?" message.

Trivia
- The opening is still different from those of other episodes. Black lines appear at the intervals of the scenes.
- Mima's Crime Coefficient is initially read at only 76, as measured by Aoyanagi, but rises to 287.1, as measured by Teppei Sugo. It eventually culminates above the lethal enforcement threshold (300).
- Aoyanagi's Crime Coefficient is read at 343.7, as measured by Sugo, prior to her death.
- Shuichiro Domoto is erroneously listed as "Riki Domoto" in the credits of the English home video release.
- Most of the seiyu for the hostages also voice dubbed minor characters in other episodes: Marie Oi (episodes 3, 6, 7, 8, 10 & 11), Takehiro Hasu (9), and Yoshiki Nakajima (episodes 5, 6, and 10).
