Plot

A normal salaryman, Tetsuo Tosu, discovers that his adult daughter Reika is being physically and emotionally abused by her new boyfriend, a young man named Nobuto. Soon after discovering that Nobuto has a history of murdering other girls that he has dated in the past and is currently trying to get money from Reika's grandparents before planning to dispose of her as well, Tetsuo murders Nobuto. He then resolves to commit "the perfect crime" and hides the body with the help of his wife, Kasen. However, Nobuto was the only son of Yoshitatsu Matori, who runs a powerful yakuza branch in the city. While Tetsuo wishes to protect his family, he must now deal with Matori's men as they threaten his family to find out what happened to Nobuto.

About to be discovered, Tetsuo bursts from closet and beats Nobuto to death with a rice cooker. Tetsuo's wife, Kasen, arrives at the apartment and after rationalizing that Tetsuo killed Nobuto in self-defense, the two of them decide to clean up the mess and get rid of the body.

Meanwhile, Reika is followed to her parents' home by Kubo and Kyoichi accompanied by Shingo. When Tetsuo goes to buys garden supplies to quickly decompose the body, Kubo opens his car boot and the suitcase only to find it packed with clothing, although Tetsuo deduces, he has been followed. Back at home, Shingo pretends to be an estate agent and offers to appraise their home, while Kubo enters the house but finds nothing. Later, Tetsuo and Kasen find a listening device in their home and act out a staged conversation about someone stalking Reika who may have harmed Nobuto, prompting Shingos' group to quit their surveillance.

The crew with Kasen also questions her, and she tells the same story which Tetsuo had developed earlier, convincing them that she knows nothing about Nobuto's disappearance. Kyoichi reports the results to Kubo, but with nothing to show for his risky operation, Kubo demotes Kyoichi and puts Takeda in charge.

He suggests using their old college friend Bin Tabata who is currently involved in video production, and Kasen convinces Tabata to act out a small scenario wearing Nobuto's clothes. Meanwhile, Tetsuo tries to unlock Nobuto's phone but it requires a pet's name which Tetsuo cannot guess. He goes to the bar which Nobuto frequented searching for clues, and strikes up a conversation with a man who is despairing about his son's disappearance and says his name is Yoshitatsu Matori and Tetsuo blurts out that his name is Tabata.

Tetsuo avoids being seen by Kyoichi in the foyer. He then tries to enter Kyoichi's apartment to leave Nobuto's remains, but he cannot pick the lock and returns home just before Kyoichi arrives back. When Kyoichi discovers an email was sent from his account, he is perplexed so Tetsuo suggests that he may be being investigated by Takeda who suspects Kyoichi of killing Nobuto. He suggests that Takeda may have planted evidence in his apartment, so Koichi drags Tetsuo with him to his apartment to investigate. They find nothing amiss, but Tetsuo begins to realize that Kyoichi is more clever and ruthless than he anticipated, making his situation more precarious.

They search Nobuto's apartment and find a lot of cash and then call in Kubo to supervise a search of Koichi's apartment. They find some money, however there is also a bag containing human skeletal remains which Koichi has never seen. Koichi tries to blame Tetsuo and Takeda but he has no proof, and Kubo decides that Koichi has to take the blame for Nobuto's demise. It is then revealed that Tetsuo arranged for Kasen to place Nobuto's remains there and also sent the email to frame Kyoichi.

A flashback shows Kasen following Tetsuo's plan to enter Kyoichi's apartment from the rooftop and plant Nobuto's remains in the safe after using a combination of technology and guesswork to discover the combination. Meanwhile, in a desperate bid to survive, Kyoichi breaks free from his captors and manages to escape although re-opening his bullet wound. He then pieces together the events leading up to the discovery of Nobuto's remains in his safe and concludes that Tetsuo must have somehow planted the evidence to frame him. He then telephones Matori and says that Tetsuo killed Nobuto.

Later, Matori enters Reika's apartment with an ALS torch and finds what he believes are traces of Nobuto's blood. Fearing being discovered, Tetsuo emerges from hiding in the closet and confesses his guilt to Matori who threatens to kill him after he tortures and kills his family. Tetsuo snaps and attacks Matori, even after being hit with pepper spray. The noise of the ensuing violent struggle causes the downstairs neighbors to call the police who arrive outside the building as Matori begins to strangle Tetsuo with a cord.

Transliteration: "Ima no Shiawase" (Japanese: 今の幸せ)		Takashi KameiKōhei KiyasuTakashi KameiJune 18, 2023 (2023-06-18)
As Matori strangles Tetsuo, they both think about their children. When Matori thinks of Nobuto, he relaxes his grip allowing to Tetsuo break free. Acknowledging his failures as a father, a business man, and as a person, Matori suddenly stabs himself in the stomach with a kitchen knife. However, he reminds Tetsuo that if he fails to return, his gang will know Tetsuo was the culprit all along and kill both him and his family in revenge for his death. Just then, the police knock on the door to investigate the disturbance. Tetsuo manages to convince them to leave while he prevents Matori from speaking, and the yakuza bleeds to death. Tetsuo cleans up the apartment, putting Matori's body in the bathtub. When Kubo comes to investigate, he finds nothing amiss and reports to Tatsumi that Matori has left, closing the chapter. Later that night, Tetsuo buries Matori's corpse in the woods and returns home the next morning. Kasen is angry that he did not come home for dinner but Tetsuo does not tell her what happened.
