Original subtitles

You erased her memory?

When you lose possession of the Note, you lose all memory associated with it.

I entrust this Note to you.

Save Misa.

Give this to a human with considerable position and worldly ambition,

who seems like he might use it for that sake.

Use it however you like.

I can't believe you're throwing the Death Note away under all this damp ground!

I'm still just hiding the Death Note in the ground.

I won't truly abandon ownership of the Death Note

until the next time I say "I throw it away."

Are you really...

Then all of my foolish pride...

I throw it away.

Yagami Light, are you...

Kira?

No...

You are Kira, aren't you?

N-N-No, I told you. No!

I can't understand what's going on at all.

Please believe me!

We're friends, aren't we?

The human whose name is written in this note shall die.

The individuals who lose the ownership of the Death Note

will also lose their memory of the usage of the Death Note.

But, when regaining ownership of the Death Note,

memories associated

the memories associated with the Death Note will also return.

Death Note

return

What are you doing?

It's a shame, isn't it?

I'm still lacking a bit of definitive evidence to prove that you are not Kira.

No...

L, if my son were Kira, I would already be dead.

You really did believe me, then?

If you turned out to be Kira,

I was prepared to die here.

I really am sorry.

Kira, who made you suffer this way...

I hate him so much.

Well, that was, in its own way, a touching display of father-son love.

But I want you to stay where I can watch you 24 hours a day from now on.

Give me a break.

You want to prove your innocence, don't you?

Do you enjoy toying with people's feelings that much?!

Light-kun!

No matter what we do, he'll still suspect me no matter what!

You know that while we're here doing this, Kira is killing people!

Then if we catch that Kira, I'll believe you 100%.

Mogi-san, explain the recent progressions of the case to Yagami-san.

Yes, sir.

Makimura-san.

Yes, sir.

An email sent to us by an acquaintance of L's tipped us off.

An acquaintance?

A bit like a personal consultant.

Mixed in with the murderers thought to be killed by Kira,

three non-criminals were included.

And we learned that the deaths of these men have

been enormously profitable for Yotsuba.

Kira is conspiring with Yotsuba?

Then punishing evil is not his true objective.

Camouflage?

He beat me to saying it,

but is it possible that this Kira is punishing criminals

as camouflage for his true goal.

Do you have any basis for this?

One of the reasons I profiled Kira as a student at first

was because I felt an adult would use such an ability for personal gain.

Watari.

Yes, sir?

Show me the data on Yotsuba.

Very well.

Yotsuba Japan Group.

They're a large corporation that has handled a wide range of fields

since its founding in 1949,

starting with information, financing,

and goods distribution for everything from household products to missiles.

Our next name, executive director of our board of directors, Tategawa Kenji.

Are there any objections?

No objections.

Then let us ask Kira to erase him.

VT Business Division Chief Oi Takeshi

Head of New Technology Development Office Higuchi Kyosuke

What of the cause of death?

Human Resources Section Chief Shimura Suguru

From now on, I was thinking of asking Kira to let all future causes of death

be "accident."

Material Planning Division Chief Takahashi Eiichi

It was a mistake to let the first three deaths arbitrarily be "heart attack".

PR Strategies Division Chief Hatori Arayoshi

First Business Division Chief Namikawa Reiji

Right, Namikawa?

It would be better not to leave any trace for them to find.

Rights Planning Division Chief Kida Masahiko

They have that famous detective named L, I believe.

Business Operations Strategic Division Chief Mido Shingo

That's why we've employed a capable detective as well.

I was thinking of having him keep tabs on what the police are doing.

Man Wanted Nationally for Massive Fraud

Identity of Osaka Purse-snatcher Suspect Revealed

The Suspect, Yamamae Shinichiro (28)

Just what is Yagami Light trying to do?

Kira is the key to Yotsuba's success?

Is Kira working for Yotsuba?

Is Kira using Yotsuba?

Or is Kira unconnected to either? I can't be certain...

But judging by the method of killing,

we should investigate Yotsuba thoroughly to find any Kira connection.

Please, let me help.

I want to catch Kira with you.

Light...

If we're going to be tied together because you suspect me anyway, Ryuga,

I want to prove that I'm tied to you in purpose, as well.

But Light-kun is a student...

He's no mere student.

As the one who encouraged his talent to bloom, I guarantee this.

Let's catch Kira and finish this together.

Sure.

A prosecutor?

The other day, a public prosecutor named Mikami came here asking to meet Amane Misa.

Of course, I told him I had no recollection of arresting

such a person on suspicion of being Kira,

but that information got leaked from somewhere.

What's going on with the Kira investigation?

No particular developments yet.

You didn't tell the higher-ups about the Yotsuba thing?

The one who leaked the information must have been one of the higher-ups.

We can't put our subordinates in danger by carelessly revealing what we're up to.

Especially since we have Light-kun with us now, too.

What are you going to do?

What if this Kira thing leads to

Light-kun saying he wants to follow in your footsteps again?

You never know.

A bit of adversity can make a relationship stronger than ever before.

In a lot of ways.

Don't be ridiculous.

By the way, Light-kun, you wanted to enter public service, didn't you?

Yeah. Why?

The police are a public service, aren't they?

When you were a child, you wanted to be one, didn't you?

When my mother died when I was a kid,

my father was off chasing a criminal...

I thought my father's form of justice couldn't be worth much,

if he had to sacrifice even his family to see it through.

But... yeah.

Now I sort of feel like I understand.

Because I feel the same way he did.

I want to catch Kira, no matter what.

From what I can see, this seems unlikely to be a performance to deceive us.

Which means...

Light!

I've been wanting to see you so much!

This turbo-S guy threw me in a room and locked the door.

Isn't that awful?

Not S. L.

H-Hey.

What's wrong?

I-It's been so long since I last saw you. I-I just got nervous.

Light-kun, do you remember why the two of you started dating?

Why?

No...

What about you, Amane-san?

Now that you mention it, I don't quite remember.

Then it's just as I thought.

Kira was capable of controlling the actions of others.

In other words, could you and Amane-san have been controlled by Kira?

That would explain why, when you were in captivity, your attitudes suddenly changed.

Perhaps the ability alone moves from person to person,

erasing your memories of when you were Kira.

What do you remember during the

Lind L. Tailor and FBI agent alias Raye Penber incidents?

Remember?

The day the police declared war on Kira, I was watching TV in my house.

That day... Lind L. Tailor died before my eyes.

I was in a busjacking, and the man committed suicide with his own pistol.

Raye Penber was there, too.

You don't remember killing them?

You're making me angry.

I can't remember things I never did.

Yeah. That's so rude!

L, Yagami-san and the others are waiting.

This is a list of ten people connected to Yotsuba who died recently.

Tategawa Kenji, 61 years old,

Executive director of Yotsuba Japan Group's board of directors,

also died in an accident.

Wouldn't an accidental death be unconnected to Kira?

We can't be certain of that.

Kira can control the actions of others.

I believe he can also kill people and make it look like an accident.

Control...

You don't remember that either?

Stop it already.

What about on Yotsuba's end?

The hands-on management of the company is handled by eight executive officers.

Oi Takeshi and the others

apparently hold a regular conference two or three times a week.

That often?

Doesn't that seem suspicious?

Yeah, but we can't conduct a search based on "suspicious".

We don't need a warrant.

Yotsuba Japan Group Corporate Campaign Girl Talent Audition 2015

Audition?

You plan to use Misa?

You can't do that.

She'd just be doing a standard audition.

My plan involves taking advantage of that to infiltrate the Yotsuba Group and expose

any connection they have to Kira.

Um, is he always like this?

Yeah, he always decides everything, willfully, without hesitation.

Here.

L's willful requests have not yet begun.

What's this?

Janitor

I told you. We're infiltrating them.

M-Me?!

Tategawa Kenji, executive director of our board of directors

has died in an accident as planned.

By the way, what's happening with the police?

The detective known as Babel who we asked to investigate

has started asking for hush money.

Does that mean our secret's out?

But we used all those people to cover our tracks...

But it still got out.

This isn't good.

I think Babel only figured it out due to his great detective skill.

I am honored by the compliment.

What is this?

Young elites who support the Yotsuba Group.

It is a pleasure to meet you.

I am Babel.

Brilliant Entertainment Talent Manager Matsui Taro

I am Matsui Taro.

Matsui Taro. Matsui Taro.

Hey, Matsuda.

Yes, sir?

Don't say "yes, sir" idiot!

You're supposed to be Matsui right now! What's wrong with you?

Oh, sorry!

Are you all ready?

Hey...

It's too late to back out now.

Not that. If I land the audition, will I really get to be in a commercial?

Hey, are you seriously trying for this?

Of course!

You may do as you wish.

Okay!

Matsuda and Amane-san aside, I'm worried about Light-kun.

It's too much pressure.

Then let's follow the plan.

Matsuda-san plays the manager.

Amane-san, the talent.

And Light-kun, the hair and make-up man.

The three of you go through the front door and check in with the receptionist.

The conference room is on the 25th floor.

Thank you!

Thank you!

Go into the elevator, then head for the conference room on the 25th floor.

When you arrive, Light-kun,

please break off from the other two and head to the bathroom.

Thanks for seeing us. I'm Matsui Taro of Brilliant Entertainment.

Amane Misa. I look forward to working with you.

Where's the other person?

I'm so sorry. He was feeling ill, so he'll be in the bathroom for a while.

Amane-san, please sit.

Thanks!

Thank you for participating in the Yotsuba Japan Group commercial audition.

The interview is handled by Hatori of PR Strategies Division,

It's a pleasure to meet you.

Namikawa of the First Business Division,

It's a pleasure to meet you.

Oi of the VT Business Division,

and Higuchi of the New Technology Development Office.

Before the audience begins, we have a request.

They're four of Yotsuba's executives.

We'd like the manager to leave the room.

Matsuda, find a reason not to leave Amane-san's side.

No, take your bag and leave before you're suspected.

But the video!

Watari, switch to the other.

Yes, sir!

Okay. Excuse me.

Where's it recording from?

I told you it would be dangerous to stick it in her belongings.

It's not as if I can take it off now.

Light-kun, how are things going?

No issues.

Just to confirm for you,

you can find their regular conference room by taking a right down the next corridor.

It's the second door.

Oh. That door was broken.

Hey. You did that on purpose, didn't you?

That hurt!

L, don't play around.

Chief, something strange is going down in the audition.

Amane Misa-san, this is a question for, hypothetically, after we've hired you.

What's that?

Are you the second Kira?

You were held by the police on suspicion of being the second Kira, weren't you?

Why were you released?

Who's speaking?

It seems Babel is working with them.

Who's Babel?

There are three people known as the greatest detectives in the world.

L, Eraldo Coil, and Marie Deneuve. Babel is ranked after the three of them.

The fourth, then?

No, Coil and Deneuve are both me.

So Babel is actually the second.

Quite the troublesome one.

Did you see L's face during the interrogation?

Yes.

Did you hear L's real name?

No. I didn't particularly want to know either.

How many investigators did you see while you were in custody?

There were five police officers, and then just L, I think.

She's answering everything he asks!

Ryuga!

Did you arrive to the conference room?

Yeah. I made it.

How are Matsuda-san and Misa holding out?

L, get him out of there. I've got a bad feeling about this.

There are no issues. Attach the cameras quickly and return to the 25th floor.

They've already been alerted to our activities.

Dad, I'm going to show you I can make this work.

Light...

Light-kun wants to find Kira more than any of us.

Why is this door locked?

Not good. Someone's coming.

It can't be helped, Light-kun.

Quickly evacuate through one of the doors to the side.

But I almost have it attached.

Don't push your luck, Light.

If they find you, they'll know the camera's there.

I've almost got it.

Nothing out of the ordinary?

Who's there?! Wait a minute!

Wait up, you!

Hey!

Huh?

Good job!

Good job, Light-kun.

Welcome back.

Good work out there.

We're back!

Welcome back, Light-kun.

Sure, thanks.

I told you not to push your luck.

Sorry.

But I couldn't stop.

I just want to catch Kira so much.

Light-kun's so passionate!

Matsuda!

Um, we heard about Babel from Amane-san.

This could be quite bad.

Everything we're doing could have been leaked to them.

Yotsuba's regular conference is beginning.

If what Amane said is to be believed,

our enemies are six in number.

The question is whether or not to erase Amane.

If she is the second Kira,

she likely knows Kira.

Wouldn't it be wiser to leave the question up to Kira himself?

They're just talking about it. They don't know we're watching.

If Kira is one of them, he'll get in contact with Misa. I can't wait.

Can't wait?

Then let's get to the matter.

Some time ago, I made a proposal regarding MGY Inc.

If we don't stop their advances into the Japanese market,

I worry that Yotsuba will start to lose customers to them and other companies.

Therefore, we should erase the president of MGY Inc,

Brady K. Frederick this weekend in an accident.

No objections.

They decide to kill people just like that?

That's inhuman!

Let's use this video as evidence to bring them in.

They're clearly the ones doing the killing.

Unfortunately, we can't say for certain until one of the people named here has died.

Let's give them some rope.

We can't just let killers go free!

This is important bait to lure in Kira.

Ryuga, the people they're trying to kill now aren't criminals.

Are you saying it would be fine if they were trying to kill criminals?

Light-kun, your way of thinking really is quite similar to Kira's.

What is it, Babel?

It's Babel!

About killing the president of MGY Inc...

I think it would be better to delay it by a month.

Why?

Because the police have their eye on you.

Shouldn't that be obvious?

It's true. Babel's words have logic.

Shall we restrain ourselves a while and see how things unfold?

No objections.

No objections.

Now there shouldn't be any more killings for a while.

Is it all right to give them some rope, then?

The Yotsuba men trust Babel, so they won't change their plans.

This is the reason I gave them information about us.

What?

L, was that about right?

Babel...

Sorry I forget to mention it, but Babel is an acquaintance of mine.

An email sent to us by an acquaintance of L's tipped us off.

An acquaintance?

A bit of a personal consultant.

Then it was Babel who sent the email to Mogi-san and the others?

Yes.

Although Watari and I call him Near.

Near?

Good work, Near.

Public Prosecutors Office

Previously Unprosecuted Crimes

Previously Unprosecuted Crimes

Unprosecuted Unprosecuted Unprosecuted

Unprosecuted Unprosecuted Unprosecuted Unprosecuted Unprosecuted Unprosecuted

Perfect! I'm taking more!

L's really got them over a barrel, huh?

Look a little more this way!

He's anticipated everything. He really is incredible.

You really think Kira will try to contact Misa-Misa?

If Ryuga says so.

Did L tell you to call him Ryuga?

Yes. It's the alias he used the first time we met.

If you know it's an alias, why do you call him that?

The truth is, I guess I'd rather he be my friend Ryuga than the detective L.

Isn't that right?

Hey, stop it!

You're Kira, aren't you?

What? I said I'm not!

Then... do you know Kira?

Could you take me to meet Kira?

What are you doing?

I'm calling the police.

Light! I was so scared!

Hey, who was that? What did he say to you?

A public prosecutor. He said he wants to help Kira.

Talk about stupid!

A public prosecutor? Help Kira?

You don't have to go back to the house?

If it's Mello you're worried about, it's fine.

Hey, why did you let Yagami Light in on the investigation?

You think he'll let something slip?

That's part of it.

So you do think he's Kira.

I don't know.

Part of me wants him to be Kira.

Part wouldn't mind if he wasn't.

Great. Great. That's good!

More, more, more please! More this way!

Are you saying it would be fine if they were trying to kill criminals?

Light-kun, your way of thinking really is quite similar to Kira's.

L's right. There are some people I feel this world would be better off without.

If Kira's power does move between people, then it must be the will of Kira himself.

If I had the power to kill people with just their name and face,

would I attempt to judge criminals?

Even if Yagami Light's memories of being Kira have been erased,

could he still recover that ability?

Ryuga must still suspect me.

I don't sense anything suspicious from Yagami Light.

To know for sure...

I just have to capture the current Kira and finish this.

However it turns out, we want...

...to know the answer.

L, that's the wrong piece.

The one who puts in the final piece might not be me.

It could be you, Near.

Stop being so stupid.

Let's kill Kira already.

Stop it. Don't come out, Mello.

Shut up. It's your fault for trying to play the good little boy.

I'm not like you. I'm not...

I'm not...

Okay! Got it.

Hanging up now!

Who was that?

Someone from Yotsuba invited me out to dinner.

Making a pass, huh?

Wait... Someone from Yotsuba?!

He thought he was pretty hot stuff.

He said, "If you knew who I really am, you'd definitely fall for me."

"Who I really am?"

Misa, what was his name?

Lure out Kira?

Yes. I said I wanted to give the executives more rope,

but there is a more efficient method we could try.

Welcome back!

L, could we speak to you?

Excellent timing. I have a task for our manager, Matsui Taro-san.

Huh?

We're catching Kira tonight.

How?

The Kira Special is now underway.

Today we'll be speaking to someone who says he's met Kira.

Thank you for having me.

Thank you for coming.

I happened to overhear the conversation.

Kira is an executive within a certain company.

A certain company? That's quite a stunning revelation.

Oi, are you watching TV?

Yeah. Who is this guy?

I don't know. But the faceless man says that at the end of the program,

he'll reveal Kira's identity.

That's what it sounded like to me.

Kira Special Kira's True Identity!

Special Report Kira's Identity Will Be Revealed at the End of the Show!

I'm so sorry!

It's Amane's manager!

He overheard our conversation!

Calm down.

Should we stop?

One hour until the broadcast ends, then?

No. I'm aware of the danger.

Even if it kills me, I'll proceed in the name of justice.

Let's ask Kira to kill him.

Call the others.

So you're prepared to do what's necessary, even if it kills you.

Got it.

That's very courageous.

Thank you for appearing on our program.

Higuchi? It's Oi. Are you watching TV?

Thank you for having me.

Is this enough, Babel?

Thank you, Namikawa-san.

Now the message should filter out to all of them.

Why did you ask me to sell out my allies, Babel?

You didn't think I was Kira?

I bet on your words and actions prior to this point,

and that it would be a 1 in 8 chance.

Was I correct?

If Kira is caught, I really won't be held accountable?

L guarantees it.

Thank you, Near.

If Kira is one of the executives,

then he'll definitely hear about the TV broadcast.

And all of them got Matsuda's business card.

Kira is likely in a hurry to kill Matsuda about now.

But he can't kill with an alias.

So the next action he'll take is...

...to call Misa and check Matsuda-san's name.

Higuchi Kyosuke

It's Higuchi!

He said "if you knew who I really am, you'd definitely fall for me."

Misa, what was his name?

Higuchi-san from Yotsuba.

Head of the New Technology Development Office, Higuchi Kyosuke.

Higuchi Kyosuke 37 years old, Single

He's the one who asked Misa out to dinner, too.

Higuchi is Kira.

Damn it.

Why won't she pick up?

Why is he still alive?

Matsui Taro

Dad, Kira is Higuchi.

Are you ready over there?

Yeah. We're ready here.

Watari, how's our setup?

Just perfect.

Higuchi has arrived.

He's here!

Now, how do you kill?

Show me, Higuchi...

Damn it! Where are you?

Names of Personnel

Is this it?

Work Name: Matsui Taro Real Name: Matsubara Taro

Matsubara Taro...

A notebook?

Yes. He does appear to be copying the name into the notebook.

Victims of Kira can be found not merely in Japan, but all over the world.

I think the entire world is hoping to hear what you're about to announce.

20 seconds...

Yes. I pray that true peace will return to the world.

You don't believe that Kira brings peace?

30 seconds...

Kira is a murderer.

I cannot allow him to continue.

40 seconds!

"Savior" my ass.

Kira should be caught by the police.

I feel the same way.

Why? Why isn't he dying?!

He just said, "Why isn't he dying?"

When did he act?

Damn it.

Shinigami...

Let's make a trade.

Shinigami?

What's he mumbling about to himself?

He's saying shinigami exist, I suppose.

No way.

Higuchi's leaving.

Dad, I think Higuchi's coming your way.

I think the big moment is approaching. How do you feel?

Higuchi's coming our way.

Right.

Dad, arrest Higuchi the minute he gets there.

No. Let's watch him a little longer.

Hey. What are you talking about?

We haven't established his method of killing yet.

This is Kira we're dealing with!

Matsuda-san and my dad are in danger!

In order to catch Kira, we must confirm his way of killing.

People's lives are on the line!

Hey.

All the names of the people killed so far are written in that notebook, right?

That would be proof, wouldn't it?

Even if we learn how he kills people,

if a comrade dies, that's losing, in my opinion.

Mr. Driver, please roll down your window.

Excuse me. I'm in a hurry.

Could I see your license?

Shiroba Korehito

Five.

Three.

Two.

One.

Stupid. Don't waste my time.

Shiroba Korehito

A motorcycle cop on Tamanomiya Avenue was found dead of cardiopulmonary arrest.

That's the road from Brilliant Entertainment to the TV studio.

It's Higuchi!

Makimura-san, when a motorcycle cop performs a stop, does he display his ID?

I think it depends on circumstances, but it would be rare for one to reveal his name.

He killed someone with just their face?

Yagami-san, arrest Higuchi.

Like the second Kira, Higuchi has become a Kira that can kill by face alone.

Please keep that in mind when you arrest him.

Got it.

Ryuga.

We won't let the likes of Higuchi beat us.

Let's get that notebook as proof.

Right.

Kira Special: Kira's True Identity

...will be coming up. Please wait a little bit longer.

Kira, you still have time.

You can still give yourself up.

Because one way or another, I'm announcing who you really are.

At least put an end to this yourself.

A dummy?!

Higuchi!

Damn it!

Don't move!

Trapped like a rat...

Yotsuba Japan Group, Head of the New Technology Development Office, Higuchi Kyosuke.

You are Kira, aren't you?

Who are you?

Please let me see that notebook you keep in your bag.

The names of all the people

you've killed should be written in that notebook, isn't that right?

How have you been killing people?

You have the power to kill with faces alone, right?

I would truly like you to tell me.

Give it up, Higuchi-san.

Now take out the notebook.

I lose. I surrender.

Ryuga!

Now take out the notebook.

Ryuga!

Higuchi!

Aizawa!

Cover his eyes! Cover his eyes!

Yes, sir!

Cover his eyes! Cover his eyes!

Damn it!

Light-kun.

Are you okay?

Thanks.

Light. L.

Are you both okay? Were you hurt?

I'm fine.

Higuchi. Kira.

Just how do you kill people?

I want a lawyer.

Shut up!

You don't think much of the cops, do you?

You can't get out of this!

It's not my fault.

It's the notebook.

Death Note?

A notebook of death?

They're all written in perfect detail.

Hey, are you okay?

What's wrong? Ryuga?

The things you can't do... Kira can do!

You are Kira, aren't you?

I'll eliminate anyone who gets in my way.

That's Kira's face you've got on.

Kira is creating a peaceful world without crime.

I'm going to fight the enemy known as L.

I can't stop now.

I think Kira, who was born

by acquiring this power,

is the most blessed person in the world.

You're my savior.

I will share it with you: Kira's dream.

I can't let Kira be caught.

I throw it away.

I...

am Kira.

Light, what's wrong?

Nothing...

Yagami-san, where is Higuchi?

There are quite a lot of things I'd like to ask him.

That's right.

Rem...

I remember.

I had my own mission:

To save Misa from the police's holding and

after suspicion on both of us was cleared, to recover the Death Note.

I'll only have these memories back as long as I'm holding the Note.

If I want to hold on to my memories, I need to regain ownership of the Death Note.

In order to regain ownership...

I just need to erase its current owner.

I need to erase him without leaving any proof inside this Death Note.

I'm sorry.

Dad...

L...

I already chose this path.

The things the police can't do...

Kira can change the world.

No...

I will change the world.

Hey, Higuchi!

Higuchi! Higuchi!

Higuchi!

Can it be...?

A heart attack?

Higuchi Kyosuke

Just as planned.

Higuchi! Higuchi!

Higuchi! Higuchi!

Matsuda, call the paramedics.

Yes, sir!

Aizawa, the AED.

Please help!

Yes, sir!

Yes! Please!

Let's finish this...

L.

Give up, Yagami Light!

Don't write it!

Yagami Light

Eliminated!

If you lose this gamble, you die!

You lose.

Stay out of my way!

Goodbye, L Lawliet.
