Caption: The next morning.
You see the new investigation headquarters
You see L crouched in a chair, surrounded by the litter of half-eaten sweets, looking a bit grim and melancholy. Everyone else is present except for Matsuda and Light.
You see Matsuda entering.
Matsuda says, "I'm so sorry I'm late!"
Soichiro says, "You aren't the last one. Light is still sleeping."
You see Matsuda looking relieved.
Matsuda says, "Oh, good. I mean, not that he's so late, but..."
L says, "I am depending on Light to help develop a plan for the new suspects, but I suppose everyone is tired from the move. Before he gets here, I should discuss another possible development with you."
Aizawa says, "What has happened?"
L says, "I am thinking of adding another member to the investigation team."
Aizawa says, "Who? A criminal?"
You see L with a large jar of jam, spreading it on some doughnuts with a butter knife.
L says, "Actually, the shinigami."
You see everyone looking shocked.
L says, "I've already discussed this with Rem, and she is thinking about it. I need to find a way to pay her, and I've been experimenting with foods. If anyone can discover something else she might like, I would be grateful."
You see Light entering the room.
You see L biting into a jam-slathered doughnut.
L says, "Light, good to see you. Have you thought about how to approach the Yotsuba group members?"
Light says, "Yes, Riyuzaki. Since another of them might be Kira, we need caution. I still think it is very unlikely Namikawa is Kira, so we should contact him first and get more information on the meetings that happened before we started recording them."
L says, "We should also search their homes for another notebook, but we must move cautiously. Searching immediately might scare off any Kira among them. We should wait two weeks before doing so."
Light thinks "Damn, he is keeping Wedy away from Misa's eyes. Well, I instructed Misa how to find similar security experts and send them here, so it shouldn't matter at all. It's actually better if it isn't anyone I've met."
You see Watari's "W" appearing on one of the monitors.
Watari (from screen) says, "L, an urgent message has come in."
You see L licking jam from his lips.
L says, "Can it wait 15 minutes? We need to get tasks assigned for today."
Watari says, "Another detective wishes to speak with you. He says he has arrested the second Kira."
You see Rem looking worried and upset. In the background everyone else looks either shocked or puzzled.
L says, "Put him through."
You see Light sweating and looking a bit freaked out.
Light thinks "How could this happen now? Is this L's trick?"
You see Watari's symbol being gone from the monitor, and replaced instead by a symbol that resembles a police badge.
Voice from monitor says, "Well, L, I've solved the Kira case before you. I have the second Kira in custody along with a confession, and I know who the first Kira is."
You see L licking jam from his fingers.
L says, "I doubt anyone could have solved the case before me, unless you cheated. You must be one of the four detectives I sent my back-up data to. I specified not to act on that information unless I died. It could interfere with my own efforts and ruin them."
Light thinks "He had a plan in place in case he died? For how long? This can screw everything up. How many people do I need to kill before I'm clear again?"
Voice from monitor says, "Oh, but once I looked over the case it was too tempting. I saw an easy way to solve everything. Something you never thought of."
L says, "Did you contact me just to gloat? Or is there a purpose in this?"
Voice from monitor says, "I hope to turn over both Kiras to the ICPO. My team has Misa Amane, the second Kira. You have Light Yagami, the original Kira. We are informing you that we'll be taking custody of him. Tell me your location and I'll send an arresting force."
Rem thinks "How can I save Misa now? Killing those here wouldn't help, my death would be for nothing."
You see Light looking very panicked but trying to hold it in.
Light thinks "No, I should remain calm. This still could be a trick."
You see every other task force member looking at Light in a freaked-out way.
L says, "I will not do that unless you can show me you have proof, not just circumstantial evidence. I truly doubt Misa Amane would confess to being Kira, since I had her in a straight jacket for over a month and she never said anything. Also, if those two are both Kira, then they can erase their memories and I'm sure Misa would do exactly that to protect Light."
Voice from monitor says, "And you never thought how to get around those restrictions? I suppose every intelligent man has his blind spot. You'll be mentally kicking yourself once you hear how simple it was."
L says, "If it is plausible, I will believe it. Otherwise, you are interfering with my own investigation."
Voice from monitor says, "Using samples of Light Yagami's voice, we had a skilled impersonator call Misa Amane and pretend to be Light. She told us all about the nasty little plan Light is using right now to attempt to get photographs of everyone there. Then, we had Light tell her to move her notebook into a certain new hiding place. As soon as she finished, we retrieved it."
Light thinks "Shit! Shit! Shit!"
Voice from monitor says, "Right now, Misa thinks she is touring a top-secret movie set and that she will possibly be hired as the lead actress. She has no idea she's actually in custody, so there is no reason for her to erase her memories. We call her periodically just to chat, and she keeps telling us more. She's actually quite starved for attention from Light, and willing to believe anything he tells her."
Aizawa says, "Is it really true? Light's been Kira this whole time?"
Matsuda says, "But, there's the 13-day rule. Light and Misa should both be dead if they used the notebook. Right?"
Soichiro says, "Light, no!"
Voice from monitor says, "The 13-day rule is false, according to Amane, and so is the rule saying everyone who touches the notebook will die if it is destroyed."
L says, "So, the only thing you have is voice recordings where one side of the conversation is fake and the notebook itself? That may not hold up in court. They might say you faked both sides of the conversation, and for the notebook to be accepted as real it would need to be tested."
Voice from monitor says, "That is a matter for the courts. We can supply plenty of testimony from those who watched our tricks with the phone calls. As it is, most of our team can see Misa's shinigami now. I'm sure the notebook is real. Stop being stubborn about losing and give us Light Yagami."
Soichiro says, "Light, how could you... are you really..."
L says, "Chief Yagami, calm down and don't jump to conclusions. We don't have proof of anything yet."
Light thinks "Why is L defending me now? What ploy is this?"
L says, "Could you play those recordings for us? Just to be sure."
Voice from monitor says, "I've already contacted the ICPO about my plan to arrest both suspects. They've been told you have Light Yagami. If you continue to withhold him, you'll be categorized as a criminal yourself."
L says, "I am merely asking for actual proof before I shut down my own investigation."
Voice from monitor says, "As you say, we could have used our voice impersonator to create both sides of the conversation, so letting you hear it wouldn't be convincing. Instead, why don't I describe Misa's shinigami? He is tall and spindly, with bluish skin, spiky black hair and feathery black wings. Light should know if I'm telling the truth."
You see Light looking very upset, as everyone else in the room looks at him.
Light thinks "They really do have Misa's notebook! But I need to keep it together and stall just a bit longer. I can come up with a plan."
You see Mogi approaching Light with handcuffs.
L says, "Mogi, stop that. For the moment, Light should be free. Merely keep an eye on him, and don't let his hands go out of sight."
L says, "I think it is time I told you the real reason I'm being so stubborn. It is possible that we are being kept hostage."
Voice from monitor says, "How so? Misa can't kill you now, and I'm sure you have enough people there to restrain Light. Don't tell me he's already written your names down to control you?"
L says, "I doubt Light has done that. But, if Light is Kira, then the 13-day rule is certainly fake. If that rule is false, the shinigami lied. If Rem will lie to protect Kira, there is no telling what else she might do."
L says, "Rem might kill us and any arresting force that comes for Light. She might be waiting for an arresting force so she can follow them back to Misa, the one she is most concerned with."
You see Light looking very insane and giggling.
Light thinks "How did L figure so much out?"
You see Light looking evil.
Light says, "That's right. I'm Kira and you can't do anything to me. I've been playing with you all this time. Even without the death note, I have Rem as my weapon."
Rem thinks "I must follow Light Yagami's lead. This bluff is the only way we might still save Misa."
You see Soichiro looking very insane and raising his gun.
L says, "Stop him!"
You see Mogi and Aizawa trying to restrain Soichiro as his gun goes off.
You see Light falling to the ground, then rising into a crouched position, with lots of blood coming from his knee.
Light says, "Damn it! You destroyed my knee!"
L says, "Soichiro, I understand your feelings, but we need a clear understanding of the situation before we can act. Please do not throw away Light's life or your own."
L says, "Rem, since we are your hostages, what are your demands?"
Rem says, "I will let Light make the demands."
Light says, "Riyuzaki, I can't control you into killing others I don't know with the death note, but I can threaten you into it. I'm sure you know the names and faces of those four detectives you sent your data to. You will write their names in the death note, controlling them into destroying all information they have and letting go anyone they have in custody and sending the names and faces of everyone they work with to us."
Voice from monitor says, "The ICPO has already been told that Light Yagami and Misa Amane are the first and second Kiras. If everyone working to arrest them dies, it will just be further proof of that and others will be sent to arrest them."
L says, "It also won't work for another reason. I've always been willing to die to solve this case. I can't be threatened into killing those people.
Light says, "Oh, but you can. I suppose you know you'll die either way, but if you cooperate, I'll make sure your death is painless and written for as far in the future as possible. Otherwise, it will be the most painful death that has ever happened, and I'll kill plenty of other people as well."
Voice from monitor says, "Misa Amane happened to talk about how Rem is forbidden to kill in order to extend the lifespan of humans she cares about. If Rem breaks that rule, she will die. Rem can kill only a limited number of people that way before she dies, probably not more than three."
You see Light crouched on the floor in a puddle of blood, laughing and looking more insane than ever.
L says, "You don't have my name, Light. So Rem is the only one who can kill me that way, and if she does, she'll die."
Rem says, "Light Yagami, this is all your fault. You should have made a deal for shinigami eyes days ago and killed these people before they made so much trouble. Or you should have made that deal before Misa was arrested."
Light says, "If you had followed my plan instead of resisting, none of this would have happened. Do you really think so little of Misa that you'll risk her life for a few more days of your own? You should have killed L the moment you realized Riyuzaki was him."
Rem says, "You deliberately put Misa in danger again, even after I told you I'd kill you if you tried anything like that. If Misa didn't love you, I'd kill you this very moment using the extremely painful kind of death you've been threatening others with."
L thinks "So that's how it is! Everything is because of Misa."
L says, "Rem, is it important to keep Light alive for your plans?"
Rem says, "Yes."
L says, "Aizawa, Light is losing too much blood. Please bring the medical supplies and some crutches. Matsuda, take Aizawa's place restraining Chief Yagami."
Light says, "If you try to handcuff me or drug me, it'll go badly for you."
L says, "Don't worry. I plan on fully evaluating the situation before doing anything."
Light says, "You, anonymous detective on the screen, I want you to know that Rem's hostages are the prime minister of Japan and the president of the United States. She can surely kill at least that many. The ICPO will be very angry at you if you handle the Kira investigation so badly that world leaders are obviously killed by Kira."
Voice from monitor says, "I understand."
You see Aizawa cleaning and binding Light's wound and Light getting onto crutches.
Light says, "Rem, I can still save Misa. I'm her only chance. All I need to do is kill everyone who knows about us. It doesn't matter if the ICPO has been told our names, because their names and faces are readily available. I can kill everyone in that organization."
Light says, "And, L is the key to killing every person he's sent information to. Since neither of us can control him into killing them, I can take him prisoner and torture him until he cracks. Death is too good for him. If I need to, I can keep him alive for years and then torture him anew if anyone who seems to know about me starts pursuing me."
Aizawa says, "Light, you can't kill the ICPO unless you have your notebook, and since you know most of our names already, you'll kill us as soon as we let you leave here with it. There's no way we'll allow you to have it. Especially since you've just announced plans to kill hundreds of law enforcement officials."
Soichiro says, "Light, you are a murderer. You are evil. Stop this."
You see Light looking very pissed.
Light says, "You are the ones who are evil. Especially you, L. You could have left me alone and my utopia would have appeared in a year or two. Everyone here has forced me to kill people other than criminals, and the blood of the entire ICPO will be on your hands."
Light says, "Besides, I can't leave my death note behind or you'll write my name in it. If you let me take it with me, I'll promise painless deaths in 23 days for all of you, and no deaths for your family members."
Voice from monitor says, "Light Yagami, you forget that we have a notebook as well. We can write your name in it to save our own lives long before you could get L to crack under torture."
Light says, "You wouldn't dare to as long as Rem is holding such important hostages. Besides, if you kill me, Rem will eventually find you. If it is too late to save Misa by then, Rem will surely take her revenge, and there aren't any shinigami laws to restrict her killings in that case. Would you like to die by taking hours to gradually claw open your own throat with your own dull fingernails? Or perhaps you would like to have an uncontrollable urge to eat broken glass?"
Light says, "If I die, Rem can take her revenge afterwards on everyone in this place as well. Now, give me my death note and put L in restraints. I'll get on the computer here and kill the ICPO, then I'll leave with L and go rescue Misa."
You see Soichiro struggling free of Mogi's and Matsuda's grasp and bringing his gun up.
Soichiro says, "I'll kill you, you murderer!"
You see Aizawa also raising his gun.
Aizawa says, "I'd rather be killed here by the shinigami than like a coward at your mercy!"
L says, "Light has a hidden scrap of the notebook! He'll write on it!"
You see Light diving behind a table as bullets hit its top.
You see Rem writing in her death note.
You see Soichiro dying.
You see L jumping up from his chair.
You see Light crouching behind a knocked-over table, being hit by a bullet in the side of his ribs.
You see Aizawa dying.
You see Rem having dropped her notebook and crumbling to bits.
You see L and Mogi both jumping over the table and tackling Light, who is trying to write on a piece of paper. In the background, Matsuda is crying and pointing a gun in Light's direction.
You see Mogi, L and Light wrestling together, the piece of death note sitting on the ground beside them.
L says, "Matsuda, if you can take away that scrap of paper it would be good."
You see Matsuda coming forward and getting the piece of death note, seeing that Mogi's full name has been written on it.
You see Mogi having a heart attack as he is still tangled up with Light and L.
You see L partially trapped under Mogi's body as Light crawls through a door, bullets slamming into the wall just above his head.
