"Caster" Episode 5 Synopsis

The fifth episode of the TBS Sunday Theatre drama " Caster " starring Hiroshi Abe (Sunday 9pm) will be broadcast on May 11th.

In the previous episode... Kaiba's ( Takashi Okabe) daughter Akari (Yuna Takeshita) appeared on the news program "Newsgate" as a junior high school student who was involved in a crime on social media. "I learned about the dangers of social media at school, but I thought I would be safe. I want people to know that even ordinary junior high school students can get involved in crimes. If you're in trouble, I think it's important not to keep it to yourself, but to talk to the adults around you," she said.

In the fifth episode, the chief director, Kajiwara (played by Reo Tamaki), gets information about the cover-up of a police assault case. Kajiwara's old acquaintance, Takeno and Akasaka Minami Police Chief (played by Tamaki Ogawa), wants to make an internal complaint.

Shindo (Abe) and others head to interview Takeno, but she doesn't show up at the appointed time. Moreover, Takeno holds an emergency press conference to deny the assault incident itself.

Kajiwara thinks that Erika (Kikuchi Akiko) from the Social Affairs Department leaked information to the higher-ups of the police to put pressure on Takeno. He begins to investigate the truth behind the assault on his own, but it develops into a major problem that involves the police and the entire JBN.

Shindo volunteers to be the chief of Akasaka Minami Police Station for one day. What is his purpose?

The drama is set in a television news program and is a socially conscious entertainment piece that pursues the truth buried in the darkness and punishes evil.
