The second episode of the TBS Sunday Theatre drama " Caster " starring Hiroshi Abe (Sunday 9pm) will be broadcast on April 20th.

In the previous episode... due to emergency surgery for Chief Cabinet Secretary Takeshi Hanyu (Kinya Kitaoji), who has a rare blood type, it was thought that the surgery for a boy with the same blood type and an incurable disease had failed. They were going to cover it on the program, but Shindo (Abe) changed the content just before it aired.

After the broadcast, Hana Sakikubo(Mei Nagano) went to see Shindo and asked, "Why did you change the video? That was a lie." Shindo revealed that the surgeon told him, "I tried to save both of them equally, but in the end Hanyu was saved and the boy died."

It is true that Hanyu's son insisted that the surgeon use the blood that had been collected for the boy, but the surgeon did not comply. Although there was only a minimum amount of blood available for both Hanyu and the boy, the surgeon did everything he could.

"We in the press are not slaves to the truth. We pursue the truth, decide with our own heads what we should report, and then report it responsibly with our own hands and mouths. If you're being manipulated by the truth, you still have a long way to go."

As Shindo was about to leave, Sakikubo said firmly, "Every day is April Fool's Day. In the end, you lie as easily as you breathe." He pointed out the fact that Shindo had made a "deal" with Hanyu...

In the second episode... The police raid a sports bar in Roppongi, and the staff and customers are arrested on suspicion of gambling. When they find out that Japanese volleyball ace Nawa (Takayuki Suzuki) and announcer Koike (Kanato Tsukishiro), who were also there, have been voluntarily taken into custody, JBN panics.

After learning about the commotion, E-Stream announced that they would withdraw as the main sponsor of the International Volleyball Championship. This would cause a huge loss for JBN, the organizer of the championship, and would also affect the program budget.

Shindo goes to meet with Nishina (Miyagawa Ichirota), the president of e-Stream, and declares that he will prove Nawa's innocence.

After being released, Koike gave a direct explanation on the program based on Shindo's advice. However, when Shindo asked her an unexpected question, she started to say something unexpected. The sports gambling took an unexpected turn...

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 brings evil to justice.
