You see a hallway within the investigation headquarters.
You see, in the background, Matsuda rolling some kind of big metal cart with shelves, loaded with boxes and clothing, while behind him Mogi is walking, carrying a small box. In the foreground are Light and L, with L holding a briefcase that looks very high security.
L says, "Light, are you ready to travel now?"
Light says, "Yes."
You see Light and L getting into an elevator.
L says, "The bus is nearly full. This will be the last trip for today, and then everyone except for myself, you and Watari will go home."
L thinks "That groping had a purpose. If I searched Light right now, I would probably find a scrap of notebook paper on him. But, I can't do anything because of the shinigami."
Light says, "Are you sure Kira won't follow us from this place to the other one?"
L says, "No, Watari is excellent at losing pursuit and the bus will stop several times to get a new paint job. Although, it isn't paint, it's vinyl sheeting that fits the bus perfectly and can be peeled off and replaced in less than two minutes."
You see L and Light getting off the elevator and moving through several high-security checkpoints, then going into an underground parking garage and approaching a large, unmarked bus with darkened windows.
You see L and Light getting onto a bus crammed with stuff and finding a seat, Rem trailing behind them now.
You see L looking up at Rem as she is standing half in and half out of a pile of stuff.
L says, "Rem, that must be very useful sometimes."
Rem says, "I've never known it any other way."
L says, "Well, I only know what it's like to be human. Because I don't know anything about you, it is possible I might harm you inadvertently unless you tell me what I shouldn't do."
You see Light looking pissed off.
Light thinks "Is L just trying to cozy up to Rem to get better answers, or is he suspicious that Rem is on my side?"
Light says, "Riyuzaki, let's work on the new lead."
L says, "Have you come up with a plan yet?"
Light says, "Yes. We need to make sure every last person who knew of Higuchi's arrest is investigated thoroughly, without missing a single person. That includes not just the police at the blockade and the surviving Yotsuba group members, but also Misa."
You see Rem looking angry and upset.
L thinks "He is pushing this for a reason."
L says, "Misa was restrained at headquarters at the time, being filmed from eight different angles. I've reviewed all that footage. She did not kill Higuchi."
Light says, "Riyuzaki, you are the one who always wants to be thorough. I'm just following your lead, because I'm sure you would have added Misa to that list if I didn't."
L says, "We're short on personnel, we can't add many people without greatly increasing our risk of being infiltrated by Kira, and I've already spent months investigating Misa with no results."
L says, "I also lost standing with the rest of the team by focusing on you and Misa. We have 74 new suspects and I intend to concentrate on them."
Light thinks "Would L really give up on Misa and myself at this point? Perhaps, if his pride was damaged when everyone else turned against him. But, if I can't get Rem to kill him soon, I won't be able to deliver such a perfect alibi to everyone."
L thinks "There are only three reasons he might push this so hard. He is certain I won't investigate Misa, or he knows there is absolutely no evidence to be found, or he is trying to lure me into a trap."
Light says, "Are you sure you aren't planning to investigate Misa in secret? That would be just like you."
L thinks "Does Misa remember my name from that one time she saw my face before her power was lost? This makes me even more worried that Misa may have orders to kill me the moment she notices any cameras, bugs, or people following her."
L says, "You forget my reputation, Light, and that I'm employing the rest of you. I don't answer to your father, Mogi or Aizawa, only to the ICPO. If I wanted to arrest Misa again or keep her under surveillance, I could fire everyone who disagreed with me and simply do it."
You see L looking upwards at Rem, who looks very angry.
L says, "Rem, I've actually been meaning to ask you a question for some time, but I haven't been sure how to go about it."
Light thinks "Shit! What is L doing now?"
Rem says, "Ask me."
L says, "I would like a favor, but I don't want you to feel used. I only want it if you're willing, if there is a way we can repay you, perhaps entertainment of some sort, or food, or being taken outside on tours, or days when you are not bombarded with questions. I don't really know how to pay a shinigami."
Light thinks "He is trying to tempt Rem into a deal?"
Rem says, "What do you wish, human?"
L says, "Well, there are only a few of us and we need all the help we can get. Would you like to join the investigation? We have a lot of suspects, and your ability to be invisible and walk through walls could be quite useful."
Light thinks "So, this is what he's been leading up to. Is this a real offer, or another ploy?"
L says, "It would be something to do other than just standing around. Don't tell me your answer now, wait a couple of weeks. I won't need those talents until then, and I need some time to see if I can find anything you really like."
You see Rem looking at Light as if for a cue. Light is smiling.
Rem says, "I will see what pleasures you can produce."
You see L withdrawing an apple from a paper bag.
L says, "I was hoping you'd say that. Why don't we start with this?"
Rem says, "I've never eaten anything before."
Light says, "Riyuzaki, I guess we'll get to see whether that was just Kira's joke on you or whether it's true."
You see Rem holding up the apple and looking at it apprehensively.
Rem says, "How do I do this?"
L says, "I'll show you."
You see L taking another apple out and eating it.
You see Rem imitating L.
Rem says, "This is nice."
You see Rem looking happy and surprised.
L thinks "Gods of death do like apples, but unless this one is an actor, it has never had one before. Does that mean Light's shinigami was a different one? That would most likely pair Rem with Misa."
L says, "I have a few other treats I'd like you to try. I'll be right back."
You see L getting up and getting stuff from a mini-fridge in the front of the bus.
L thinks "Rem has always watched Misa intently on the monitor, but she takes cues from Light. Is she working on behalf of both of them? If Rem is fully on their side, I will die the moment I challenge either one of them."
You see L returning with a big slice of cake on a plate and some containers of candy.
L thinks "Although, why am I alive right now? If the shinigami can kill without a second thought, it should have killed me as soon as it understood the structure and purpose of the investigation team. Is Rem waiting for a signal from Light? Is Light hoping to tell her to kill us but he's never had a moment with Rem away from the cameras?"
You see L holding up the cake on a plate towards Rem.
L says, "I think this is the best, but I don't know how it would taste to you."
You see Rem reaching down, grabbing the cake slice awkwardly and lifting it to her mouth with some pieces coming off and falling down.
You see Rem chewing the cake, with frosting smeared all around her mouth.
Rem says, "That is very good too."
L thinks "Now, Light will be under pressure. He cannot meet with Misa in the same way as before and I will be doing my best to not provoke the shinigami. Will Light be pushed into acting on his own? He probably thinks he has at least a few days, but if my guess is right, tonight I will get most of the evidence I need."
L thinks "The question is, will I survive?"
*******************************************************************
You see a bedroom, with various boxes stacked in one corner.
You see Light crawling into bed and under the covers.
Light thinks "To the security cameras, this looks like I'm tired from moving and need to rest a bit before supper."
You see Light's hands under the covers, drawing out some paper from his sleeve.
Light thinks "The man I control will pass in front of this building, write down the address, and then go put that piece of paper in a hiding place Misa will check soon."
Light thinks "After that, Misa will control security experts to put this building under surveillance and attempt to get photos of everyone who enters or leaves. They'll die in 23 days, but if they haven't got all the photos by then, Misa will just replace them with other experts."
********************************************************************
You see the "Wammy's House" orphanage
You see Roger receiving a package at the door.
You see Roger taking the package to his office and opening it, revealing a laptop computer and a letter.
You see a close-up of the letter, which says: "Roger, it is likely I will die soon. I might be controlled into shutting down the mechanism that sends you a signal if I die, but if I do not visit you for a year, then I am dead. It is also possible I might be controlled into revealing something that will lead to deaths at Wammy's House. This laptop contains a complete summary of my work on the Kira case, including video evidence when relevant. Please make copies of it all and put the back-up data in a place where it will be sent to some other detective or intelligence agency if everyone there dies. If I die, then please give this laptop to Mello and Near. Whichever of them can get solid evidence on Kira will be my successor."
***********************************************************************
You see a large room that looks like a small cafeteria.
You see Light sitting at a cafeteria table, eating food from a tray. L is sitting nearby, with a narrow tube going into his mouth and leading up to a large plastic bag hanging from a metal stand. Watari is pouring some mushy liquid into the open top of the plastic bag.
Light says, "I hate that thing so much. It always looks like you're ingesting vomit. Can't you do it somewhere else?"
L says, "Most of the other rooms aren't ready yet. Also, if it spills, this is the easiest room to clean up."
Watari says, "If Riyuzaki would eat normal food, we wouldn't have to do this."
L says, "I don't see any point in chewing something that doesn't taste good. Besides, it would take me at least twenty minutes to chew a meal like this. With three meals, that's an hour per day. This way, I can get all my nutrients and vitamins in just a few minutes and go back to important things."
Light says, "You are childish!"
L says, "No, it's a very intelligent plan. I don't waste time or pleasure, and I keep my body from degenerating."
Rem says, "Humans are unlucky about eating then."
L says, "If we only eat the best things, we get ill. I suppose you can eat whatever you like, Rem. I'm jealous."
L thinks "Yes, Light. Keep eating your drugged food. You'll sleep without bothering me tonight. Then, I'll only have to throw off Rem's suspicions, not yours."
*************************************************************
You see a bedroom.
You see Watari lying in a bed, sweat running down his face, with L crouched in a chair by the bedside and Rem standing nearby.
You see L on his cellphone.
L (on phone) says, "Mogi, I need to take Watari to the hospital. Please come to the new headquarters. I don't want to leave the notebook with only one person to guard it."
Rem says, "Watari looks bad. Maybe you should leave now."
L says, "I do not think this is serious, I just need to check with a medical professional to be sure."
Watari says, "Riyuzaki, I'm fine. It is just an upset stomach. We should stay here."
Rem says, "There are cameras running in every room, just like the old headquarters. Why don't you feel safe?
L says, "There is a chance Kira could attack this place, and Light would not be enough by himself. He hasn't had any practice with a gun and won't carry one. Besides, he's asleep."
Rem says, "Riyuzaki, you are very similar to Light."
L says, "I suppose so."
Rem says, "But you aren't as mean as he is."
L says, "I have no idea what you're talking about. Has Light hurt you?"
Rem says, "No, but it seems he doesn't care about anyone."
L says, "Do you wish Light cared about people?"
Rem says, "It would improve his character and make everyone happier."
L thinks "I said 'people' and she agreed. Rem wants Light to care for Misa? Is that it?"
You see Mogi entering.
L says, "Good. Light is asleep, so don't wake him."
********************************************************
You see a dark, rural-looking road at night, with L's car sitting by the side of the road.
You see the inside of the car, with Watari in the driver's seat and L sprawled in the back seat with a bunch of electronic equipment. L is wearing earphones.
L says, "Light should not expect me to move so soon. And, even if he did expect that, he probably thinks I would either put Misa under surveillance or test the 13-day rule."
Watari says, "Why would it be bad to secretly put Misa under surveillance?"
L says, "Misa might have another shinigami watching over her to help her avoid surveillance, so it might take a very long time to catch her doing anything."
L says, "She also could have standing orders to kill everyone on the investigation team if she notices surveillance, or she might have orders to wipe her memories of her crimes, which could keep us from ever getting evidence."
You see L holding up a microphone in front of his mouth.
L (on microphone) says, "Rene, is everything set up?"
Voice from earphones says, "We received all your files and our team is ready. Should I have Estelle send you a sample?"
L (on microphone) says, "Yes, please do."
Voice from earphones says, "How does this sound?"
L (on microphone) says, "Exactly right. Let's hope we can get her."
Voice from earphones says, "We will commence in exactly one minute. Any last instructions?"
L (on microphone) says, "No, just be sure to repeat exactly what I say, with a natural speech rhythm and no suspicious pauses."
***************************************************************
You see the new investigation headquarters
You see L and Watari returning, entering a large room with various monitors in it and computers lined again one wall. Mogi is waiting there in a chair.
You see Rem drifting through a wall to enter the same room.
Rem says, "That only took a few hours."
L says, "It was merely an upset stomach and night sweats. They kept him a little while for observation just to make sure."
Mogi says, "Should I go home or stay here?"
L says, "It's 3AM, I think it would be best if you stay. Make sure everyone else gets here early tomorrow morning."
L thinks "I don't think Rem is smart enough to be suspicious about myself and Watari leaving for a few hours. Light might have, but he's deep in a drugged sleep and won't wake until tomorrow anyway. He should never realize we drugged him, and he may never realize we left, or he'll realize it too late."
L says, "Watari, I do not think I'll sleep tonight. Would you bring me some coffee and doughnuts?"
Watari says, "Yes, of course."
You see L settling down in a chair and looking tired.
L thinks "Only a few hours until the others get here. Perhaps these are my last hours alive."
