I'd ever let you near that thing again?

You didn't read it.

What did you do?

"Light Turner's heart

stops beating at midnight."

No... you're trying to kill me?

You're going to officially

pass the book to me.

Then once I'm the keeper...

I'll burn your page.

That's why I couldn't let you save Watari.

You can only burn one name and...

I wanted it to be yours.

There are so many f***ing rules.

Now go get my goddamn book.

[cell phone ringing]

Did you find Watari?

[no audio]

[engine starts]

[siren wailing]

This is Detective Turner.

I want every unit looking

for the individual known as L.

He should be considered

armed and dangerous.

And I want my son put in protective

custody until he's located. Now!

[Jordan F and Quails'

"Feel My Love" playing]

Can you feel my love?

Feel my love, baby

Can you feel my love?

Feel my love, baby

[sirens wail outside]

Let's go! This way! Move, move!

[cell phone vibrating]

-F***!

-[officers chattering]

[cell phone beeps]

[indistinct radio chatter]

[Light] Agh!

[officer over radio]

Be on the lookout for Light Turner,

last seen in the vicinity

of North Seattle High.

[tires screeching]

[grunting]

[horn honks]

Ah!

[people screaming]

Ah!

[grunts]

Hey!

[panting]

-[grunts]

-[man] Hey, man!

-Ah!

-[horn honks]

Light!

[horn honks]

[horn honks]

[man] Hey, a**hole!

Move! Move! Move! Move!

[jackhammer pounding]

-[siren chirps]

-[officer over PA] Hey!

Hold it right there! Stop! Repeat...

[man] Hey!

[grunts]

-[grunts]

-[woman yells]

[man] Whoa! Hey!

Hey!

[grunts]

Sorry! Sorry! Sorry!

[groaning]

[baby crying]

-[L] Light!

-Ah!

Wait! Wait! Wait!

Didn't I clearly explain what would happen

if Watari wasn't safely returned to me?

Wait! You need to understand how it works,

okay? Or you can't stop it!

I couldn't stop it!

Death can be handed out

through a f***ing calculus book!

-You're stalling!

-No, I'm not! I swear I'm not, okay?

I'm just gonna turn around really slowly.

Okay. I'm gonna reach into my bag.

Don't move! Do not move!

This man is Kira.

I'm working with law enforcement.

-In order to capture and eliminate--

-[man grunts]

Lord Kira.

Yeah. Yeah.

[sirens wailing]

Out of my way!

Come on! Let's go! Come with me!

Where the f*** is the book, Light?

-Come on!

-We're actually closed, guys.

Take us to the top!

Nobody else gets on, hear me?

Here. Want the book? Get in!

-What the f*** is your problem?

-Take us to the top! Now!

Hit the button!

[Mia gasps]

[Light] We gotta stop doing this.

We gotta stop doing all of this.

It's already done!

Let's run away together

and never use the Death Note again.

[Mia] I don't want to run away!

Now give me my f***ing book, okay?

Take it! But...

just remember what it's done.

Not just out there, but to us.

If you love me...

If you love me, then you gotta trust me.

Don't take the book.

Because if you do...

you'll never see me again.

I love you so much.

You do?

-Light!

-Dad?

Light!

No!

What?

[cackles]

What?

What did you do?

You put my name in it, didn't you?

It was if you took the book.

I thought I could convince you not to.

Are you kidding me, Light?

-You put my name in the book! I got mad.

-Are you kidding me?!

You said you love me!

I thought you wouldn't take the book!

[screams]

Light!

[both scream]

[Mia screams]

Light! Light!

-[Mia screams]

-[Light] Oh, sh*t!

Ryuk! I take it back! I take it back!

[Mia screaming]

Here, just hold on! Don't let go!

Please don't let me go!

Don't let me fall!

[screaming]

[Mia shrieks, panting]

[no audible dialogue]

[Chicago's "I Don't Wanna Live

Without Your Love" plays]

Thought it wouldn't matter

If we didn't stay together

And if it was over

Maybe it was for the better

I was thinking I'd be all right

Till I thought it all through

Now I know that I ain't really living

If I have to live without you

I don't want to live without your love

I don't want to face a night alone

I could never make it through my life

If I had to make it on my own

I don't want to love nobody else

I don't want to find somebody new

I don't want to live without your love

I just want to live my life with you

With you

[helicopter hovering nearby]

Four new killings.

And every one of them identified

by the news media in the last 48 hours.

I understand you think this means

Light cannot be Kira.

You think he's knocking people off

while in a coma?

I'm not exactly sure how it is--

Apparently, you have enough highly-placed

allies to keep you out of jail.

But none of that's gonna help you

if we see you around.

[machines beeping]

[thunder rumbles]

[Light] Wait, you need to understand

how it works, okay, or you can't stop it!

I couldn't! Death can be handed out

through a f***ing calculus book!

Was there a calculus book seized

at Light Turner's house?

Did he even take Calculus?

Okay, what about his, uh...

his girlfriend?

Don't take off!

[thunder rumbles]

[knock on door]

Come in.

[door opens]

Hey, Dad.

What's wrong?

It was you.

All along.

What are you talking about?

In your room.

At first, I couldn't figure out

how or why it'd gotten out of my safe.

Then it hit me.

James Brode wasn't the first victim.

It was Antony Skomal.

[Air Supply's "The Power of Love" plays]

The whispers in the morning

How?

Of lovers sleeping tight

Do you really want to know?

Are rolling by like thunder now

[Light] Dr. Norman Ludlam,

known for sexually assaulting

female patients under sedation.

On the night of October 12th,

Norman Ludlam is present at the pier

when two individuals fall

from the Northwest Ferris Wheel.

He rescues the male suspect

from the water

and manages to revive him,

saving his life.

Using his connections at the hospital,

Ludlam keeps the suspect

in a medically-induced coma for two days.

At the end of this period,

he leaps to his death

from the roof of the hospital.

Aaron Peltz. Mailman, retired.

Molested nearly a dozen children

over the span of 20 years.

Peltz retrieves the Death Note

from the river on October 12th.

Each night, Peltz fills in the blanks

with the name of criminals

who appear on the news.

On day two, he returns the Death Note

to the Kira suspect,

and then commits suicide.

Lost is how I'm feeling

Lying in your arms

When the world outside's

Too much to take

Mia Sutton is killed when she accepts

the Death Note from her boyfriend.

As the Northwest Ferris Wheel

mysteriously collapses...

she pulls the page with my name on it

from the note.

And it is ultimately consumed by fire.

Although her boyfriend

lands safely in the water...

Mia strikes the shoreline...

dying instantly.

Never wonder where I am

'Cause I am always

By your side

'Cause you are my lady

I made a lot of mistakes.

And then I tried to fix them,

but it didn't work.

I thought it was simple at first:

I was just gonna kill all the bad guys

and the good guys would win,

but it wasn't like that.

Whenever you reach for me
