Death Note Page #2

"Rule 28:
Each death

must be physically possible,"

so no shark attacks

while someone's on the toilet.

[laughs]

As much as I love that idea.

Uh, where did it come from?

[sighs] The history of the note

is as long as history itself.

But who gave it to me?

I mean, did you give it to me?

The last keeper of the note passed away.

It fell to me to find a new one.

-What if I didn't want it?

-You may pass it on.

Or better yet, I will.

-How would you do that?

-I told you!

When the note is separated

from the keeper for seven days,

I find a new one.

Who wrote those warnings about you

in the margins?

Oh, is that what we're gonna do

with the note, Light? Rules and warnings?

[thunder rumbles]

The name and the face

is all you have to have.

[Ryuk's laugh echoes]

[gagging]

[Ryuk cackling]

[cell phone ringing]

[cell phone beeps]

[Light's father] Turner.

Yeah, no, it's fine. What's going on?

Say that again.

You gotta be kidding me.

[laughs]

All right, yeah. I'll see you in a bit.

All right.

-[knock on door]

-Hey.

[Light] Hey, uh, one second.

Come in.

Hey, what you up to?

Uh, just fell asleep on my desk.

I just got a call.

Our friend Antony Skomal is no more.

Impaled himself on a steak knife

in the middle of a restaurant.

-Holy sh*t.

-[chuckles] Yeah.

You seem happy.

Probably shouldn't be, but yeah, I am.

Your mom...

she always was kind of a hippy.

And we didn't see eye to eye

on everything.

She was damn sure right about one thing.

Karma's a b*tch.

Sorry about what I said... you know.

Love you, son.

I love you, too.

[cackles]

-[whistle trills]

-[low chatter on court]

-[man 1] Go, go!

-[man 2] Yeah! Watch your feet!

[girl] You in mourning?

In... Uh, what?

Our friend Kenny.

Oh, yeah.

It's terrible what happened to Kenny.

You don't have to lie to me.

Kenny was a sociopath,

and just because he's dead

does not make it a tragedy.

-Right.

-I just wish I'd seen it.

I heard his head spun all the way around.

Actually, his head exploded

into a million pieces.

-In case you're wondering.

-You saw it?

Mm-hmm.

-I'm Mia.

-Oh, hi.

I know that you're Mia, actually.

I already knew that.

I know that you're Light Turner.

I already knew that.

Yeah.

You knew that I'm... You know my name?

So are you gonna tell me what you saw,

Light Turner?

Why did you get me put into detention?

I'm sorry.

I, uh... thought you could use

some medical attention

and I wasn't aware of the fact

that you were carrying around

a stockpile of illegal papers

in your backpack.

Is that one of them?

Hmm? Oh, no.

"Death Note"? What is it?

-What is what?

-Your book.

Uh, I can't tell you.

-Okay.

-Do you really want to know?

-Sure.

-Okay, then I'll tell you. I just...

Follow me.

Please tell me

this isn't your poetry journal.

When you see him, try not to freak out.

I freaked out a little.

See... who?

Behind you.

It's okay.

What are you talking about?

[Ryuk]

Only the keeper of the note can see me.

"The human whose name

is written in this note... shall die."

-Your poetry sucks.

-It's not poetry.

Um, will you just read the last entry?

"Kenny Doyle decapitation"?

I have, and...

I'm gonna sound crazy,

but I have a death god.

[laughs]

-I'm gonna get out of here.

-No. No, don't go. Trust me.

You of all people

are gonna want to see this.

[female reporter]

Authorities received a 911 call...

[Light] Okay, we can work with that.

...overheard a violent argument between

Mr. Brode and his ex-wife earlier today.

[male reporter] Things escalated,

as several gunshots were also heard,

and the situation is still unfolding.

Authorities are standing by.

Seattle police and Seattle SWAT trying

to de-escalate the situation.

[female reporter] This is live coverage

of the hostage situation.

-Okay. Watch.

-Police are now confirming the hostages

-are Brode's ex-wife and children.

-[Ryuk] Hope you know what you're doing.

[male reporter] With his violent history,

police are hesitant

about moving in on this situation.

[sirens wailing]

You stupid b*tch! You f***ing stay there,

you snot-nose little douchebag!

[male reporter] It appears that

James Brode is exiting the storefront.

[female reporter]

It looks like he has released her.

That's definitely a good sign.

-[gasps] Holy sh*t.

-[male reporter] Oh, my goodness.

[female reporter] Uh, folks,

we are trying to get more information.

I hope no children were watching this.

This is obviously very upsetting footage.

In case you're just tuning in,

the man holding his family hostage

just saluted to cameras before being

run over by a rogue SWAT truck.

We apologize

for these disturbing images...

I killed him.

[Light]

I guess I should feel guilty, but I don't.

[Mia] That woman and her kids are only

alive right now because of what you did.

What is there to feel guilty about?

Thing is, I know what it's like

to get f***ed over.

Some a**hole killed my mom and...

got away with it until I got this book.

I just keep thinking, I mean,

why should it just be for me?

I mean, all the people that make

life miserable, make life dangerous...

I can reach them now.

Do you think that I'm crazy?

If anything,

I think you're not crazy enough.

-We could change the world.

-"We"?

[stutters]

Like "we" as... as in us?

[laughs]

[male reporter]

We're getting an update live...

The police are extremely hesitant...

Can I kiss you?

You're not supposed to ask.

What am I supposed to do?

[teacher's voice distant, echoing]

[Light] The note was filled with names

when I got it.

Whoever had it before us,

what did they accomplish?

Just small-time killings,

revenge, petty crimes?

I think we can do a lot more

than just settle some random scores.

How about this guy?

I don't want people to say

they're scared of it or horrified.

[Mia] What do you want them to say?

[Light] I want them to say... "Thank you."

[laughing]

Look at those people.

-[Mia] They're a bunch of sheep.

-[Light] No, they're not.

They're looking for someone

who's not gonna let them down

the way cops do and politicians.

And that's why they have you.

[Light]

It's bigger than me. It's bigger than us.

What they want...

is a god.

So let's give it to them.

Let's give them a god,

let's make a name for him.

A god that never lets anybody down.

It's not gonna solve a few crimes,

it's gonna solve all crime.

[Mia] A god that scares the sh*t

out of the bad guys

until they don't want to be bad anymore?

[Light] A god who inspires hope

that things can actually change.

Kira.

Kira? What does that mean?

It means "light"

in Russian and Celtic.

Wouldn't you be worried

they could trace it back to you?

No. How could they?

It also sort of means "killer"

in Japanese,

so if they're looking,

it's gonna be on the wrong continent.

[female reporter] Who or what is Kira?

That's the question

facing baffled investigators today

as death row inmates in six different

continents were found dead in their cells.
