Death Note Page #4

I remember that. You think that was Kira?

[L] Initial speculation was that

his behavior was drug-related,

but lost in the ensuing crush

of Kira activities

was the fact that Brode's toxicology

had come back clean.

The stand-off

had never made national news,

and it was only broadcast

on local Seattle stations.

-So that's how you knew he was here.

-I infiltrated your network

in order to ensure

that there hadn't been a data breach.

Prior to my access,

the network was intact.

Did you just hand me evidence

you hacked the Seattle P.D.?

I handed you evidence

that whoever Kira is,

they have access to the database

from the inside.

Kira's one of ours.

Here's a cross-reference list

of officers and their access

as well as the dates of Kira activities.

The Federal Administration has agreed

to make resources available to us.

We can begin seeing

who was where when.

-What are you gonna do?

-I'd like to start by speaking with Kira.

Sure you are. [low chuckle]

[cameras clicking]

[reporters chattering]

[taps echo over speakers]

[cell phone ringing]

-Hey.

-Light, turn on the news.

The individual known as Kira,

as I'm sure you're aware,

has taken credit for over 400 deaths.

Oh, sh*t.

While we don't know

how he kills his victims,

we do know how he chooses them.

Prior to these deaths,

all of the victims have had

their identities released to the media.

This would suggest that Kira

is not some omnipotent force.

He's a person...

like you or me.

He is also a coward.

A child wielding power

he does not understand,

mistakenly believing in doing so,

he's at no risk to himself.

He's wrong.

Kira, if you're watching this,

know that I am coming for you.

Unless, of course,

you'd like to kill me right now.

[cameras clicking]

[chuckling]

Now I'm rooting for this guy.

Would you shut the f*** up?

No?

Well, in that case, Kira,

I shall be meeting you face-to-face

very shortly.

Who does this guy think he is?

[chuckling]

What the f*** was that?

I have a theory.

Kira cannot kill by simply sight alone.

He needs a name and a face.

Every victim we've seen so far

fits this pattern.

So you antagonize him on purpose?

While withholding my identity

from the record.

Now, we know that he wants to kill me

but is unable.

And what if you're wrong?

Then, James, I'd be dead.

Either way, we'll have gained

valuable information.

He always pull this kind of stuff?

[thunder rumbles]

[Light]

You guys getting close to catching Kira?

Oh, I'd say the haystack's down

to a hay pile. Still a lot of hay.

I saw the press conference today.

Who's that guy on TV with the turtleneck?

You like that look?

I'm thinking of taking it myself.

Hmm.

Goes by L.

He's an independent investigator.

Wow, so you don't even know

his real name.

About the only thing I know is

he's got some handler named Watari.

Really likes ice cream.

He's connected an awful lot of dots.

Do you think he's connected the dots

because he's Kira?

I don't think so.

He has a history of cracking big cases.

Besides, I think you can tell when you're

sitting across from a killer like Kira.

Right. Of course.

What happens when they catch Kira?

Well... he's murdered over 400 people,

so, my guess...

it's probably gonna be a fight

between those who want to hang him

and those who want to dissect him

and figure out how he did it.

-You okay?

-Yeah.

[Ryuk cackles]

You put someone on my kid?

We agreed that everyone with access

needed to be thoroughly vetted.

I did not see it prudent

to have you investigate yourself.

What? We're not talking

about investigating me.

We're talking about

having my son followed!

I investigated you

prior to offering my assistance

and concluded you are not Kira.

As for your son,

he may have access to databases

around which we have centered our search.

Therefore, deserves the same scrutiny

as anyone else that fits that criteria.

-No, he's a kid!

-Yes.

-A particularly bright kid.

-You know what?

If you had any questions about my son,

you should've come to me.

[woman] Here you go.

[Light] Even if they're suspicious,

I don't see how they can prove it.

I think we just go quiet

until they stop following us.

-What do you mean "go quiet"?

-Stop f***ing around with theDeath Note.

Is that what you think we're doing?

Come on, Light. Just get rid of them.

All we need is a name.

-I'm not gonna do that.

-Not gonna do what?

-I was talking to Ryuk.

-I like this one, Light.

-She has wonderful ideas.

-What'd he say?

Ryuk? Not much.

-We're good. They're trying to stop us.

-We don't kill innocent people, Mia.

Even if I wanted to, which I don't,

taking out the guy following us

will only indicate that it's me.

You'd have to get rid of all the agents,

regardless of who they're following.

They wouldn't know who it was,

but they'd know what happens

when you f*** with Kira.

-Can't believe you're saying this.

-Cant believe you're not.

Then I guess we're really f***ing lucky

that it's my book.

[female reporter]

Kira has been strangely inactive of late,

something authorities

are eager to point to

as evidence their investigation

is gaining momentum.

However, Kira supporters

have begun to criticize police

for suppressing its activities,

as a small but noticeable spike

in global crime

has become apparent in the absence

of recent activities from the phenomena.

[Light] Are you leaving?

Yeah, I've got some work to do.

There's a guy on the news

who killed a couple kids.

I thought maybe

we could make some popcorn,

take some names down for later.

I'll see you tomorrow.

[door opens, then closes]

Director Pearl.

These just came in from the field offices.

Tell them to keep surveillance

on all the potential--

[grunting]

Assistant Director Pearl is dead.

Heart attack, just now.

We need to contact every FBI agent

on their team.

[cell phone ringing]

This is Franks.

Agent Franks,

your team has been compromised.

Drop what you're doing and get

to the nearest hospital. Right now.

Agent Franks?

Agent Franks, can you hear me?

[Trentemoller's "Deceive" playing]

I'll tell you

Why I love you

How I deceive you

How I trick you

[female reporter] Twelve FBI agents

mysteriously commit suicide.

Some sources say it was the work of Kira.

This is the first time

Kira has attacked law enforcement.

-[Mia] Slow down for one second?

-He did it! Son of a b*tch killed them.

-Ryuk?

-There's so many rules in that thing!

There must be some kind of loophole.

What's he gonna do if you go after him?

Maybe you just need

to take a minute and relax

and see if this was the best thing

that could've happened.

No.

[Light] Ryuk!

[Ryuk] You think I'm some dog, Light?

You can just snap your fingers

and I'll come running? [chewing]

-Did you kill those FBI agents?

-What do you think?

I decide who dies, you obey me.

Those are the rules.

-Who do you think wrote the rules?

-Whose side are you on?

There are no sides, only the game.
