Kira's Identity So one of these people is Kira, right? Yes.
I have a lot of proof.
The victim was Mr.
H - Kira's identity revealed at the end of this program! - If Higuchi can kill by looking at someone's face like Second Kira Matsuda will die.
It's him! Don't joke with me! Remember the names of the people you hire! I still have two hours.
I've confirmed Higuchi.
He's only got a bag on him.
I'm going after him.
I willkill him I'm going to have everything! Cosme Misa Devilish charm And angelic glitter - Misa's winning rouge - The commercial's going to end, Ryuzaki.
Is that so? So I ended up drinking with the eight of them, including Kira.
That's amusing.
If I say too much, the people who were there will know who Kira is So I can't say any more.
Yes.
Let's save that revelation until the end.
Make speaker one Higuchi's car and speaker two Sakura TV.
Higuchi's watching TV in his car.
According to what you said earlier, you've met Kira? Yes.
But at that time, I didn't know who Kira was.
I think it takes a lot of courage to appear even though he's seen your face Are you all right? Yes.
As I was investigating, I discovered the two things that Kira needs to kill.
There are many rumors as to what they might be, but I found out for sure.
A face and a name But Kira only knows one of those things about me.
He feels safe enough to step forward because he thinks he won't be killed just because I don't know his real name, huh-? Does that mean that there's nothing remaining that connects him to his name? If he already took his records into account does that mean it's pointless to go to Yoshida Productions? Remwhat do you think? What do I think-? About what? Rem-?! Who's that? He's in his car by himself.
I don't think that there's anyone else in that car.
He isn't using his cell phone either.
Could it be a radio or something-? No.
There's no radio in that car.
Only our wire-taps, cameras, and tracking devices.
That's Wedy's job, so I'm sure.
Could it be that there won't be a record on him even if I go to Yoshida Productions?! Is he talking to himself? There's no way I would know.
If he's smart, he would've destroyed everything that connected him to his name before appearing on TV.
Also, don't you think that it's suspicious for Yoshida Productions to just let me into their offices? No, in this case, if there was a robbery, the culprit would be me This sounds kind of bad? It's all right.
He'll go.
Even if he does have a record at Yoshida Productions, what if it's filed under an alias? Yes, there's a big possibility that he'd go that far It's probably Light and Misa's plan to have Higuchi go to Yoshida Productions But if he knows that you're Kira, then he'll end up announcing your name.
That is an inescapable fact.
All right, there's only an hour left until the announcement.
You have to go.
Whether there's an alias on his record or not there's no way that you'll be suspected if you kill him with the notebook.
Yeah.
I know.
But just in case, I should kill the people I called from Yoshida Productions, Misa, and her manager.
What?! No way, he said he'll kill me-! It's all right.
He means after he's killed Mr.
Matsuda.
There's no point for him to do that unless he's killed Mr.
Matsuda.
That's true, but Think hard.
You only have to kill him.
If you kill the people whom you just called, your call history will implicate you.
Oh yeah Rem, you sure are smart I'll kill them after I erase my call history.
But the telephone company will still have a record of it.
He can't be talking to himself Who's "Rem"? Who is he talking to? If he is talking to someone, it would have to be with A Shinigami Do you suppose? Perhaps I should ask him How about returning ownership of the notebook to me? No.
I'll only meet a pathetic end if I do that.
He says he has proof.
If he were to highlight Yotsuba's growth, no one would doubt him.
The person he says is Kira will be marked as Kira.
Even if he doesn't have clear proof, my life will be over I won't be promoted.
I won't even be able to stay with Yotsuba We, at Sakura, have structured this show under the premise that Kira is watching.
Then, I'll call out to Kira.
Kira, turn yourself in.
He acts like an idiot, but earlier, he escaped death by making it seem like he died I've got to kill him.
He's arrived at Yoshida Productions.
It's about to begin To the left of the entrance In the desk farthest back In the bottom drawer Manager Taichiro Yamashita Now, how are you going to kill? Show me! I'm ready to restrain Higuchi.
Just give me the order.
Taichiro Yamashita It's no good! He just made a note of his name and is leaving.
He's not going to kill him here? Ryuzaki! Shall I restrain him? I still don't know how he kills.
He might do something in his car.
Turn monitor one to Higuchi's car.
Higuchi is awfully calm despite wanting to kill Matsuda as soon as possible You're right.
If he needed a name, then he should have taken the personnel file with him But he just put it back in the drawer.
Kira is a murderer, so I cannot forgive him.
Damn! He won't die! What's the meaning of this?! He said, "He won't die!" Did he just already try to kill? Was writing his name all he had to do to kill? What are you going to do? Are you going to just keep watching what he does? It seems like he can will a person to die with just that person's name What's going on? I can't determine how he kills people But if I try to restrain him now and try to get him to confess There are only fifty minutes until the Kira announcement! Damn! I don't have any time! He's making a phone call.
Probably Misa again.
You're right! Hey! I know his face If I go back to the office, there should be surveillance camera videos of him sneaking in If I had the Shinigami eyes Half of my remaining life, huh? But if he makes the announcement, my life is finished.
Well then, better to have a life that's short and sweet.
Rem.
Let's make the deal.
Deal? Who is this "Rem" he's been talking to all this time? Could Kira's power be from heaven or something? I don't want to think that's the case.
Then who's Rem? A Shinigami? At any rate, we should watch him.
It looks like we can still find out more.
We may be able to find out how he kills.
Now I'm unstoppable With this, I have unlimited options.
Stop your car! Pull over to the side of the road.
Pull over and stop! This is bad.
Higuchi has been caught by a motorcycle policeman.
I'm going to pass him by.
I'll leave this to Aiber and the others.
You were speeding.
Show me your driver's license! Yeahall right.
All screens on Higuchi's car Where did I put my license I can't waste time sticking around here.
Yukito Shiraba Accident Hey! Higuchi ditched the motorcycle cop and is escaping! What a bastard! This is the highway patrol The motorcycle cop just rear-ended a truck! It's a collision! A collision?! An accidental death? This is bad.
Higuchi put his hand in his bag Did he do something then-? No, that aside, how did he obtain the name of that motorcycle cop? Could it be that he killed him by looking at his face like the Second Kira? Rem Deal No If he could kill by just looking at someone's face he should have immediately killed Mr.
Matsuda.
What's going on-? But Everyone! It's too dangerous to let Higuchi alone any longer.
We will proceed to capture him.
Higuchi is now able to kill just by looking at someone's face, like the Second Kira.
We will capture him with that in mind! Watari, connect me to the chief of the police department.
Yes.
This is L.
We have narrowed down Kira to a single person.
Currently, he's heading from Hibiya to Shibuya on Highway Route One in a red sports car.
We shall capture him.
So please instruct all officers not to approach that car.
Dad, after the next commercial, start stage seven.
All right.
Demegawa, during the next commercial, switch Matsuda and the emcee with mannequins We'll make it seem as if the broadcast is still continuing using the audio we've prepared.
We'll leave the cameras and everyone will withdraw.
Then Yagami, shall we go? Yeah.
Sorry Misa, but I'm going to restrain you for a while.
What-?! What's this?! Stop kidding around.
Ryuzaki, I never knew you could pilot a helicopter.
It's intuition Higuchi isn't heading towards Sakura TV.
He's going the wrong way.
By his route, I'd say he's headed to Yotsuba's main offices.
That's incredible courage.
No, I just did what was appropriate.
If I go to the main offices and find a surveillance video with him on it, I can kill him Wedy, everything relating to Matsuda at Yotsuba's main offices has been disposed of, right? Yes.
Is he headed there? How convenient.
That'll give me time to go ahead of him and wait with Mr.
Yagami.
Damn! He's nowhere! No, he's been erased from these videos Did he come and erase himself? Or has someone betrayed me No, doing that would not absolve them of their crimes.
At any rate, I don't have time.
I've got to hurry! The time for the announcement is approaching.
Yes.
I feel like saying it already.
I understand your feelings, but We'll have just one more commercial break right now Damn! I'll just have to go to Sakura TV and kill him.
Dad, Higuchi will arrive at Sakura TV soon.
He'll be there in less than 15 minutes.
Are you all right? I don't want my son to ask me if I'm all right.
I'm all right, Light.
Is there anything more you want to say before the announcement? Well I want everyone to think about Kira after he's caught.
- Mr.
Yagami, it's almost time - Kira is definitely evil.
Yeah Here Aiber hates guns, so I'm the only one with one I'm no longer a police officer.
I'm not allowed to have this.
You're also not allowed to use this in Japan.
Stubborn as usual, aren't you? Sakura TV I made it! Why isn't anyone here-? Are they being careful because they're broadcasting the truth? Heh Well, this'll be easier since no one's here.
We've arrived at Sakura TV.
I'm getting into position.
Let's go, Aiber.
Okay, Mogi! We're getting lots of phone calls and faxes showing support for what you're doing here.
Even the studio is empty Still, I've got to watch out for the television cameras.
I'm sorry, but due to the circumstances, - we must end this program here.
- What?! Mannequins-! No way?! Stop right there, Higuchi! Don't move! Give up.
You must be making some kind of mistake.
I had something I wanted to talk to Mr.
Demegawa about They're wearing helmets.
They've taken anti-Kira precautions In that case I'm from Yotsuba Group's development department I'll show you my card.
Chief! Aiber! Damn! I didn't want to have to use this, but Higuchi has a gun! The Chief has been shot.
Higuchi is making an escape! I'm all right.
Sorry, Ryuzaki.
If we chase him immediately, we can still catch him.
Hurry! This is bad.
He's escaped from Sakura TV! We have no choice.
We shall proceed to capture him as well.
Watari, are you ready? Hold on to this for self-defense.
It's Kira we're after.
No.
Those aren't allowed in Japan.
I'm sure Mr.
Yagami said the same thing.
Yeah What insane driving! Don't lose sight of him! What was going on earlier-? I can only imagine that it was a trap We now end our current broadcast to bring you the news.
The program ended, but I wasn't the one who ended it Damn Who in the What's this?! It was a trap Police cars with tinted windows? The police have been taking anti-Kira measures What is this? I told the police not to make any moves.
The only one who would do this is Yesyou're right.
Damn! If I go this way Stop right there! Don't come any closer! Don't you come near me-! It's over Yes.
It is This single page Forever depressing A fleeting tactic in the eyes Without petition evil against the law chain it in prison Poison the notebook fear the lust Delusion of being deceived perpetually drooling Judgement is "crime control" they driveled Who has the Rx for that? A decriminalized world A sanctioned word Taking in heat Just like "Pirates of Death" Atone with the game of laws Billy in despair Now, it's time for ethics Now, the unstoppable Eraser Rain Now, it's time for ethics Now, the unstoppable Eraser Rain The unstoppable Eraser Rain The human whose name is written in this notebook shall die.
This note will not take effect unless the writer has the person's face in their mind when writing his/her name.
Therefore, people sharing the same name will not be affected.
I have a lot of proof.
The victim was Mr.
H - Kira's identity revealed at the end of this program! - If Higuchi can kill by looking at someone's face like Second Kira Matsuda will die.
It's him! Don't joke with me! Remember the names of the people you hire! I still have two hours.
