==Synopsis==
A woman goes to a house to meet her boyfriend with whom she had planned to skip the country, along with 50 million yen in cash. When she gets to the house, there is no boyfriend, no money and a trail of blood leading to a closet. Opening the closet causes this nude, blood covered body (Kimura) to come falling out. She gets the guy into a hospital to revive him in hopes he can tell her where the boyfriend and the money went, but the guy from the closet has lost his memory. She then employs him (probably to keep track of him in case he ever recovers his memory) as a courier.
