"Within the spreading darkness" "I pledged a vow to the revolution" "I can't let anybody interrupt it" "I'm going to change" "The future that the forbidden fruit foretells..." "I'm going to change the dream into reality" "The ending that everybody wants." "Within the spreading darkness" "I pledged our vow to the revolution" "I can't let anybody interrupt it" "Someday I'll show you" "A bright and ideal world." "I am L." "He's L?" "He's different from what I imagined..." "I am Detective Superintendent Yagami of the National Police Agency." "I'm Matsuda." "I'm Aizawa." "I'm Mogi." "I'm Ukita." "I'm sorry we're late." "These five are our current..." "Bang!" "Wha-?" "!" "What do you think you're doing?" "!" "if I were Kira you would be dead." "don't you?" "Please don't give out your name so carelessly." "Let's value our lives. but I haven't heard anything about him needing a name?" "Criminals whose names were unknown or whose names were broadcast incorrectly were all spared." "It was discussed at task force headquarters." "please come right this way." "yes. and other electronic devices and place them on that table." "do you think that we'd make calls on our cell phones and leak our information to the outside?" "Just do as he says." "but..." "I still can't tell if he trusts us or not." "No." "I just can't stand it when people's cell phones go off when I'm talking." "Let me start by saying..." "Please do not take any notes on anything we say at this headquarters." "Keep all of it in your head." "sit wherever you like." "Okay..." "L... not L." "Just to be safe." "Ryuzaki... then couldn't we cut down the number of victims by censoring crime reports?" "then ordinary people would be killed." "Ordinary people?" "Why?" "Kira's childish and hates to lose..." "Childish...?" "And hates to lose?" "Yes..." "I'm also childish and hate to lose..." "That's why I know." "Ryuzaki..." "Could you explain that a little more?" "When I declared war against Kira on television... we thought that Kira was only after criminals." "But he didn't hesitate to kill my double." "as soon as I said he was hiding in the Kanto region... So what if I am?" "He's met each of my challenges without flinching." "What do you think would happen if we tried to use media restrictions to hide criminals from someone like this?" "Well... then I'll kill those who've committed lighter crimes or even the innocent!" "The whole world is my hostage!" "I'm not the evil one." "Those who oppose me and hide evil-doers are!" "This is how Kira's mind works. let's think of ways we can use it to our advantage." "For example?" "How about this..." "U.S. furious over deaths of FBI agents. 500 investigators into Japan." "It would be different from his recent experience with the FBI." "He would begin to see everyone as a threat." "it should cause some sort of response." "T-That's interesting... huh?" "they don't exist and they can't be killed!" "This could work!" "I'll tell you my thoughts on the Kira case." "Kira works alone..." "He was accessing inside information from the investigation before..." "Why do you believe he's working alone?" "wait." "Let's listen to Ryuzaki's entire theory first." "Kira needs a name and face to kill." "he can even control the victim's time of death and the actions the victim takes before his death." "With all of that in mind..." "Please listen closely to the following. twelve FBI agents entered Japan." "December 19..." "Kira began using prisoners to conduct tests concerning actions a victim can take before death." "Kira became aware of the FBI's presence and felt threatened. in order to eliminate all of the FBI agents..." "He had to see how far he could control the deaths of his victims." "on December 27..." "After making sure the FBI agents received the file I succeeded in killing all of them." "It is nearly impossible to figure out whose files Kira saw..." "But..." "I cannot let anyone know that I came into contact with Raye Penber." "316)}Bus" "Huh?" "You're not using the Death Note today?" "Are you studying for the entrance exams?" "It's no use practicing for those at this point." "Oh?" "So what is it?" "I worked the most between December 19 and 27." "23 people died of heart attacks as we all know." "ex-convicts..." "And people who were suspected of crimes." "People obviously different from those Kira usually targets." "Indeed. he needed to control those with even lesser crimes." "so we couldn't tell who he used." "He actually probably only used a few." "He left eight days after the tests to allow the FBI to gather information on other suspects." "He wanted to draw attention away from himself." "I suspect that Kira was one of the people who was being investigated by the FBI between the 14th and the 19th." "This is data from the FBI." "It contains other important information." "but..." "Amazing!" "This is amazing! our small group can do more than enough on our own. and the other will research those who had heart attacks. whom the FBI were investigating during their first five days!" "Yeah... does anyone have any questions?" "I have a question." "You said earlier that you hate to lose." "But you've shown us your face." "Doesn't that mean that you've already lost to Kira?" "That's right." "The fact that I've shown my face and that I've sacrificed twelve FBI agents are both losses." "But I will win in the end." "This is the first time I've laid my life on the line." "Let's show Kira that we're willing to risk our lives..." "Because justice will definitely prevail." "T-That's right..." "Justice will prevail!" "Let's give it our best!" "Ryuzaki!" "but..." "There's no mistake." "This man is L. I would like to talk to each of you individually." "yeah." "So he doesn't trust us?" "It's understandable. chances are high that he's here." "I get it!" "we've seen Ryuzaki's face." "huh?" "Things have been going well so far." "just one more decisive clue..." "If there was just one thing I missed..." "Just one piece of evidence that would come to light..." "It could cost me my life." " Just one thing..." " Just one thing..." "Did you finish your studying?" "Yeah." "It's all right." "There wasn't anything I missed." "but..." "It is impossible to connect it with Kira." "The police and L don't know that Kira can kill people with means other than heart attacks." "it would be a huge problem for me." "What?" "Right now?" "Dad's been pulling overnighters." "He needs clean clothes." "You've got to give this to him." "I promised I'd go to the first New Year's Shrine Visit with my friends!" "I'll go." "I could use a break." "How lucky!" "Light!" "That means that you can spy on the Police Department." "I'll only be able to go as far as the receptionist's desk though." "Oh?" "You're bringing a page?" "An outing to kill?" "I've been doing this when I go out." "Just in case." "That day..." "Raye said that he was going to go to Shinjuku. there were four heart attacks in the Shinjuku area." "Bus-jacker Dies After Being Hit By Car And... a bus-jacking..." "It's not a coincidence." "Kira can... 375)}National Police Agency and National Public Safety Commission" "kill by means other than heart attacks." "The number you have just dialed..." "That's unusual for Dad... 110)}National Police Agency and National Public Safety Commission" "I wonder if he's at an important meeting..." "Please help me!" "I must speak directly to someone from the task force. there is no one in the Kira Task Force Headquarters." "There's no one in the headquarters?" "Dad's phone is off..." "What's going on?" "Is there any way I can contact them?" "It's something very important relating to the Kira investigation." "The Kira investigation?" "!" "I'll try to call their headquarters once more." "Light. could you hold on these for him?" "I haven't seen you around in a while." "Oh...sorry." "Umm..." "Remember?" "We solved that insurance murder with your advice." "too." "I'm sorry... right?" "too?" "Yes." "I may be able to beat L." "Beat L?" "Nobody's at their headquarters." "Please trust me on this." "I'll be sure to give them your message." "That won't do." "It must be in person." "Excuse me..." "My father is leading the Kira investigation." "Do you want to leave a message with me?" "so I can't tell him immediately." "But they're probably busy. and a lot of detectives quit the case because they were afraid of Kira." "you shouldn't be telling civilians that..." "People are already talking about it." "this person is trustworthy." "I can tell by looking at her eyes." "She's a very wise and careful person." "and you figured out that there's a problem within the Japanese police force itself." "That's why you want to speak directly to headquarters." "Did I get that right?" "I'll probably get a call from my father once he gets the message I left on his phone." "You can talk directly to him at that time." "Is it all right?" "Yes. but you can use my phone." "it's no use if you don't trust both of us..." "What's up with that cheery attitude?" "I leave it to you." "Light." "You're pretty brave." "To involve yourself in the Kira case." "Not at all..." "You think that Kira is... may I ask what your name is?" "My name is Light Yagami." "and Yagami as in "night god." "isn't it?" "I'm Shoko Maki. and Maki as in "space" and "tree." "right?" "I think that Kira's powers... enable him to control his victims before he kills them." "I-I thought so too...!" "That's exactly what I was thinking!" "Kira can control the actions of a person before death." "But that's not all..." "If my analysis is correct..." "Kira can also kill people by means other than heart attacks." "Who is this woman?" "I don't think anyone's noticed yet..." "But I think this is what's going to help us catch Kira." "I hadn't even thought about that." "Kira would make sure not to give his victims heart attacks when he's intent on hiding a murder." "Yes." "Someone I know may have met Kira." "Met Kira?" "!" "Sorry." "Meeting Kira is definitely something that the police would have a hard time believing." "Yes..." "That's why I have to explain it in detail to someone from the task force headquarters." "But wouldn't it be better if that person spoke to them instead?" "That person is no longer alive." "He was one of the FBI agents who came to Japan." "An FBI agent who met Kira..." "C-Could it be?" "He was also my fiancé." "He said that he witnessed a bus-jacking incident." "He probably met Kira on that bus." "Raye Penber!" "What's wrong?" "Nothing." "I'm sorry your fiancé's passed away." "So...what makes you think he met Kira?" "Eight days after the bus-jacking... along with the other FBI agents." "That bus-jacker robbed a bank two days earlier." "He died in an accident... an unusual and rare set of events..." "I think that Kira set up the bus-jacking to steal information from my fiancé... in order to kill the FBI agents who had come to Japan." "The bus-jacker died in an accident." "heart attacks aren't the only way that Kira can kill." "The bus-jacker didn't die of a heart attack." "So that's why you think that Kira can kill by means other than heart attacks?" "Yes." "I think that's a bit of a leap... it's not." "I can't help but think that the bus-jacker was being controlled by Kira." "Why?" "I've been wondering about the bus-jacking ever since my fiancé told me about it." "I asked him about it more when he was relaxed." "but he did tell me this." "What did he say?" "That he reluctantly showed his FBI ID to someone." "It was a top-secret investigation that the FBI was hiding from the Japanese police." "He wasn't supposed to show his ID." "So whoever saw his ID was the one who let slip that the FBI was in Japan." "She really knows what she's talking about!" "So this would be the oversight that Light was worrying about!" "I see." "It's a conclusion you came to with your singular knowledge and your desire to avenge your fiancé." "You believe that Kira can murder his victims by means other than by heart attacks." "Yes. but you can't deny you have personal interests in this case." "Your argument seems a bit forced." "But...this theory is definitely worth investigating." "Your testimony will be very important to the case." "Y-Yes." "Kira should be caught soon..." "Because..." "Kira was the one your fiancé showed his ID to on that bus." "Yes." "That was close..." "If this woman had spoken to the police before she met me..." "But..." "It seems that a god other than a Shinigami... is on my side." "I threw away everything that I didn't need" "I'm holding these feelings that I can't give up in my heart" "Even if my feet fall victim to the shackles of sacrifice" "In between reality and my ideal" "I can't hold back the flooding impulses" "Because I have a strong desire to accomplish [deceit] [fear] [vanity] [melancholy]" "I'm not weak enough to believe any of these negative perceptions" "I'm a trickster who doesn't know solitude but I can't be caught following her." "hurry to your death."
