"Tokyo PD: Metropolitan Police Department Public Relations Section 2" is a completely original, socially conscious police drama. It depicts the pride, reputation, conflicts, and struggles between the Metropolitan Police Department's public relations department and the detectives on the scene. For a certain reason, Imaizumi Rintaro (played by Fukushi), who was supposed to go to the First Investigation Division, is sent to Public Relations Section 2 instead. Naoto Naoto Ogata, Ai Yoshikawa, Bokuzo Masana, Terunosuke Takezai, and Rina Ota also appear in the series.
Episode 8 was titled "Betrayal or Ally... Arrest or Darkness... The Pressure Approaches."
As pressure mounts on the investigation into the corruption case, Tokinaga (Terunosuke Takezai), a colleague in the public relations department, betrays them and informs them. Imaizumi's (Fukushi) actions are exposed, and Imaizumi is summoned by the head of the criminal investigation department...that was the gist of the story.
