Meet Yoshii, a man who was in jail for killing his wife. After being released from prison, he immediately starts to plan a robbery/rape. He browses through the cell phone he stole from Mari’s house, and comes across a photo of Yuriko in her underwear, wearing an eyepatch. He decides that she will be his next target. He plans his entry when Yuriko’s husband is out of the house; once he gets into the house he sees a naked Yuriko all chained up.
