Death Note Page #6

-I'm sorry. What do you mean?

I took responsibility for L

only after he left

the St. Martin's orphanage in Montauk

where he was one of the Rochester wards.

One of the...

Sorry, what is a Rochester ward?

They were orphans trained since childhood

to become the greatest detectives

the world had ever seen.

-You've gotta be kidding me.

-I am not.

For their first test, the wards

were placed in a conditioning vault.

Those who retained their sanity

after seven months

were initiated into the program.

L joined at six,

the youngest candidate ever.

Okay, but what was his name

before the vault or whatever?

That name exists now

only in their records.

Okay. Okay. Watari,

you need to go there right now.

I should like to rest first.

Sleep is key to strong thought.

No. You don't have any time to sleep.

You have 48 hours to get a name.

What happens in 48 hours?

-You just need to go right now.

-I will go.

-Leave him alive, it's a loose end.

-You don't need to help, Mia.

Of course I do.

I'm not gonna leave you alone in this.

[woman over PA] Continental America

from Seattle to New York

will be departing from track three.

[Mia laughs]

[James] I'm telling you,

I wore an actual top hat.

-And was that with your wife or...?

-No.

Frankly, she wouldn't have been caught

within ten miles of me.

I didn't get this cool until much later.

Hello. Nice to meet you. Leave.

What are you doing here?

We have a critical issue

that requires discussion immediately.

-Kids, give us a couple minutes.

-Sure.

No, wait, wait, wait.

Not you, Light.

The discussion concerns you.

How?

Watari has disappeared.

I've known him my entire life.

He has not, would not, could not leave

without me being sure of his plans.

-Okay, let me make a call.

-What is it that you want?

-Sorry, I don't have any idea.

-I get that this has got you upset.

Your son is Kira, James!

What?

Don't know why you haven't been able

to put one and one together,

even despite him having spared your life,

but it does not speak well

to your deductive abilities at all.

It's time to leave.

-I'm not going anywhere.

-Wanna f***ing bet?

I have a search warrant

and a team of men outside.

So, as I said, I will be staying. You?

You have managed a strong move.

Now, provided that

you return Watari to me safely,

I'm willing to put

your position of strength into account.

I'm sorry about your friend.

I'm sure he'll be fine.

-Damn it! You don't have--

-[both grunting]

You have crossed the line!

Force me to do the same

and I assure you you will not survive!

You threaten my son again,

I'll f***ing kill you!

Get the f*** out of here!

Tear this place apart! Tear it apart!

-You okay?

-Mm-hmm.

Yeah.

-[sirens wailing]

-[police radio chatter]

Has nothing to do with you, son.

I knew he was off the minute I met him.

[Ryuk]

You know what happens when they find it.

It ends up my book again, Light.

And guess what name I'm gonna suggest

we start with when I find it a new home?

[cackles]

Is there...

anything I need to know?

How do you do it?

-How you handle all this?

-What do you mean?

How do you handle having everybody

against you? You're screwed either way.

Yeah, one way or another,

we're all in the middle.

Things are never black and white.

Sometimes you just...

you just have to choose

the lesser of two evils.

[Watari] And the sky

Hold onto your breath

Hold onto your heart

Hold onto your heart

Walk up to the gate

Walk up to the gate

And look up

He's coming out of the house right now.

I want a car on him. Every move.

[cell phone vibrating]

-Hello.

-Where are you? What's taking so long?

-I'm on my way to St. Martin's.

-Well, how much longer?

I hope to find it

within the next few hours.

Find it? You don't know where it is?

It was never intended to be a place

that was easily accessed.

Okay, just hurry.

[camera clicking]

[woman over PA] This is a reminder.

Time is running out

to purchase your Winter Dance tickets.

-Hey.

-This is for tonight.

Also comes with this.

You're really gonna stand out.

You really think I give a sh*t

about Homecoming?

[whispers] Look in the hat.

[sighs]

They're never gonna stop following you.

We're gonna end this once and for all,

but I need you to trust me.

-Can you do that?

-Yeah.

[child's laughter echoes, distant]

[ghostly panting, echoing]

[cackling]

[Ryuk's laughter echoes]

What do you want, Light?

You're not some sadist.

There's always some flimsy justification,

some reason that...

Get me the New York field office. Now!

[INXS's "Don't Change" playing]

I'm standing here on the ground

The sky above won't fall down

See no evil in all directions

[Io Echo's "Stalemate" plays]

Flash

Light

Polaroid and one cheap glass of wine

I've asked Brandon here to dance with me

for one. Is that cool with you?

I think the moon is full

I've come undone

Pieces fall

This game has just begun

Oh, play me

The next move is you

Hey. Where are you?

I've located the records room,

but need more time.

Only got a few minutes.

Is it there or not?

I am confident it is here,

but I cannot yet say where.

F*** it. F*** it. F*** it.

Forget it. Just forget it.

No! Mia, what did you do?

Where's the page?

-Watari, you have to run right now! Okay?

-[man] Watari!

You have to run away as quick as you can!

-Someone's here.

-Okay...

Just go to them right now

and ask for their help.

I am obsessed with revealing

the true identity of...

Yes. It's here.

-What does it say that it is?

-L's true name...

-What does it say? What is L's real name?

-[officer] Sir! Answer me!

Are you Watari?

-I am Watari.

-Watari.

[gunfire continues over line]

F***! F***!

[Ryuk] Ah, you said dealer's choice.

[cackles]

Why didn't you tell me

the page was missing?

But then what would you and Mia

have to talk about?

I told you I like her a lot, Light.

[cackles]

[Berlin's "Take My Breath Away" playing]

Finally lovers know no shame

Turning and returning

To some secret place inside

Watching in slow motion

As you turn around and say

Take my breath away

Take my breath away

Watching, I keep waiting

Still anticipating love...

I know you're probably upset...

but if you freak out,

they're gonna be all over us,

-and that's not gonna end well.

-You killed him.

[Mia] No, Light.

I saved you...

from yourself again.

Because every time things get hard,

you leave me to do the real stuff.

Oh, my God, it was all you.

Ryuk never found a loophole.

You were the loophole.

You don't get to feel superior

for being a p*ssy.

I did what I had to do... to protect us.

"Agent Raymond Young...

will write the names of all the other

agents of the Kira task force

in the Death Note, placing each

of their faces in his mind as he goes.

When he's done, he will join them

in climbing to a rooftop

and leaping to his death."

If you want out, you're out.

All I need is for you to give me the book.

Are you insane? Do you think that
