Are you worried?
MAKESHIFT
Let's begin our meeting.
Only seven out of the eight are present. That means that...
They probably killed one of them.
For the further advancement of the Yotsuba Group...
who shall we kill?
See? It's like I said.
This is bad. If things continue like this...
Before that, we have several topics which we should discuss.
First, concerning Hatori's death...
That couldn't be helped.
To be honest, I'm relieved that he's dead.
Kira has clearly shown what'll happen
to whoever tries to leave these meetings.
I think we all know what Hatori's death means.
Take it to heart.
Next, Era/do Coil's report...
One of their colleagues just died. Is that it?
Five million dollars. Just for this report, huh?
He hasn't found anything important about L,
like his face and name.
Is this Coil really of any use?
Well, wait.
At the end of this report...
Coil warns us that we shouldn't take L's existence lightly.
It says, "if you continue with your current pace of killing..
"for Yotsuba's benefit... every week on Fridays and Saturdays..
"I could possibly connect you with Kira. "
It's impressive that Coil has figured out what we've been doing.
At any rate, we should stop killing...
every weekend.
This is amazing. It's like they're confessing.
Yeah... As long as we have this video,
we could probably arrest all seven of them.
This is definitely bad...
Kira isn't very flexible either.
It would be nice if he killed at various times during the week.
The fact that Coil noticed this,
makes it dangerous to continue killing at our current pace.
From now on, we should be even more careful
and make sure no one ever finds out.
Now, on to the main topic.
Who shall we kill?
We must stop E.L.F. Insurance
from expanding their business into the Japanese market.
That will hurt not only Yotsuba, but many other companies' customer base.
Agreed.
So, do we agree for these people from E.L.F. to die by accidental deaths?
No objections.
What is this?
How can they do this so easily?
Another person is Santaro Zenzai, a member of the Kugisawa Group.
He's protesting Yotsuba's plans for the resort development.
Zenzai suffers from high blood pressure.
So... it is possible to have him to die of a stroke at a designated time.
Is this all right?
No objections.
Kira.. accidental death... death by illness...
designated time of deaths.
It's as we thought. There's no mistake.
No. Unfortunately, we can only say that after those people they named die.
As long as we continue to monitor what these seven say at their meetings,
their actions, and whether the people they name die...
we'll definitely catch Kira.
Ryuzaki!
What is it? Both of you in unison...
I can't go along with your idea!
- It's wrong! - Yes!
Here it comes...
You seem to plan on catching Kira
by allowing these seven to continue to murder, but I can't let them!
That's right. It's apparent that these seven are committing murder!
Can't we prove it's them by Matsuda's testimony and this footage?
This is problematic.
If we caught them now,
everything we've done until now will go to waste.
So the E.L.F. will be three weeks later.
We'll ask Kira to have Zenzai killed this weekend.
Agreed?
No objections.
If it's this weekend, there's not much time left!
Light, you know the cell phone numbers of those seven, right?
Yeah.
Any one of them will do.
I'm going to call one of the seven to try and stop the murders!
Please wait.
If we do that just three days after Aiber's made contact with them,
we'll arouse suspicion that our investigation is catching up to them.
It's also highly likely
that we won't be able to determine who Kira is.
We've come this far,
and we'll have to start over again.
To catch Kira...
we need proof.
Ryuzaki, if Kira is among these seven,
isn't it fair to assume that if we call one of them...
there's a one in seven chance that that person is Kira?
At most, I would think there's two of them.
So it's two out of seven...
If we're prepared to let them know
that the investigation is catching up to them,
then let's risk it on those odds.
I'm going to borrow the name Ryuzaki.
From the sound of the conversation...
the one who seems the least likely to be Kira
and who carries some weight on the board is...
- Ooi! - Namikawa.
If you're going to make a call, use this phone.
It can't be traced or tapped.
I really think it would be faster if...
we killed the executives of our rival companies one by one.
That would be going a bit far.
Let's kill them and split their stocks.
You're Reiji Namikawa,
the V. P. of Yotsuba Group's Sales Department One, aren't you?
Yes, I am... and?
Listen and respond as you see fit.
lam I.
I've planted cameras and wires in that meeting room...
and I'm recording footage of your entire meeting.
The opening topic was Mr. Hatori's death.
Now you're deciding on who to kill.
Isn't that right?
He's been watching everything!
If you aren't Kira...
or if you aren't someone who can directly contact Kira...
then let's make a deal.
A deal?
Delay the death of E.L.F. 's president and Mr. Zenzai one month.
This shouldn't be difficult for you.
- Yes, I see... - If we want to randomize the deaths...
- Yes... Go on... - just throw darts at a calendar.
If you do this,
and cooperate with us from now on, your crime... no...
everyone other than Kira will not be charged...
under the belief that they were threatened by Kira
into participating in the meetings.
Ah... I see...
My only option is join I.
No, I'll be killed if Kira finds out that I've sided with I.
What should I do?
If you reveal this conversation, it'll cause a panic.
There would be no advantage for you.
Everyone will be caught.
But my goal is to go one-on-one against Kira.
Listen... If I wins against Kira, you'll be acquitted.
If Kira wins against me, you'll carry on with your luxurious life.
Or you can remain a spectator and go along with either side.
Whoever wins, I or Kira, it's no loss to you.
However, it would be a loss to you if you were caught right now.
He already knows the answer I would have given.
That's all...
Okay. On Monday...
What's wrong, Namikawa? Who was it from?
Nothing, a subordinate of mine messed up
and I'll have to fix it on Monday.
Sorry for interrupting. Let's get back on topic.
Regarding on when we should kill those E.L.F. guys and Zenzai.
How about this?
We give Coil one month to discover L's identity.
If he doesn't, we'll be forced to kill them at various dates.
Next, we'll give him another month and repeat the process.
Once we've dealt with L,
we'll go back to two to three people a week.
In other words, we should make dealing with I our first priority.
I see...
Indeed. If we kill L, we won't have anything in our way.
Until then, we should be careful...
Yeah... It sounds good to me.
Well, we've got to be extremely careful.
Then we'll give Coil one month.
No objections.
L... that should satisfy you...
But we'll still hold these meetings every week. That's all for now.
It went well...
Yeah...
You really are amazing, Light.
Not only did you delay the killing,
we may be able to get information from Namikawa.
Furthermore, it looked like something I would do...
You thought of it faster than I did.
At this rate...
If I die...
you could probably become the successor to the "L" name...
Why are you talking about such morbid things?
We have a month to figure out Kira's identity
and gather evidence against him.
The challenge is just beginning.
Yes...
But you're the one who first noticed Yotsuba.
You may be more capable than I am.
You might be able to do it.
If I die...
would you take over for me as L?
If I die, would you take over for me?
As I.
If this is all an act and he is Kira, he's sure to say yes...
What are you talking about, Ryuzaki?
As long as we have this, won't we die together?
I get it...
Sorry Ryuzaki...
I'm going to tell everyone what you're thinking.
Ryuzaki thinks that if I'm Kira,
I'm either just pretending I'm not him and putting on an act...
or that Kira's power has been passed to someone else...
and I have no memory that I was Kira.
One of those two possibilities.
If it's the first... If I'm putting on an act,
these handcuffs will never come off.
No, even if it was the other possibility,
he probably wouldn't take them off.
Ryuzaki thinks that I'm Kira.
Even if that power has been passed to someone else...
he assumes that I would have planned things
to have it return to me again.
In other words, he doesn't think I was being controlled.
I passed the power on
and planned for it to come back to me once I've been cleared.
Amazing... You figured out exactly what I was thinking.
Ryuzaki's line of reasoning is,
"Light will become Kira once he steals L's position. "
Correct.
To acquire the position of L...
and be able to freely control the police,
while being Kira in secret...
would be the ultimate.
I could do that... no, I would do it.
That's what you meant, didn't you?
Yes.
But what about now?
You should know by now that I'm probably not acting.
If you were acting and trying to steal my position as L...
there's no way that you'd reveal your plan in front of everyone.
Is that what you mean?
Ryuzaki...
Even if I capture the current Kira...
do you really think...
that I'd become Kira, a murderer?
Do I look like that kind of person?
That's what I think, and that's how you look.
Not again...
Okay! Once is enough!
Let's just leave it as a draw!
Yeah...
Anyways, we have to catch the Kira that's in front of our eyes.
As long as I have the handcuffs, you shouldn't have any complaints.
I suppose so. We only have a month.
- Ryuzaki... - Yes?
If we can use that meeting as evidence,
and capture the seven of them, won't the murders of criminals stop?
Not again...
Unfortunately, no.
No?
We're not sure if Kira is among those seven.
If they just have a connection to him, Kira will simply kill them.
We have to be absolutely sure that Kira is among them,
or there's no point in catching them now.
Even if he is...
it's difficult to determine who's Kira right now.
I think it's still too early.
But, if you can't say that he's definitely among the seven...
there's still a chance that the murders will stop if we arrest them.
It's like my dad says. There is a chance.
Um, on second thought...
I think I'll go after Kira by myself.
You can use these headquarters, as will I.
You can do things your way and arrest them if you wish.
I shall investigate as I wish in my own way.
We'll only get into arguments if we don't.
Let's split up and act separately.
In other words, you just want to figure out who Kira is, huh?
Yes. This case will never be solved if we don't capture Kira.
I can't say that stopping the deaths of a number of people
right before our eyes, is meaningless...
But if we don't find the truth,
Kira will appear again and the victims will increase in the end.
That's why...
I think it's more important to figure out who Kira is.
I'm opposed to arresting the seven men,
if you want to do that, then you take responsibility for it.
I will pursue Kira by myself.
We only have one month.
I wonder who will be faster?
Ryuzaki... Where are you going?
Amane's room.
Sorry, Light, I know you're on your father's side, but...
I can't remove these handcuffs, so you're going to have to come with me.
Light! Did we have a date today?
Along with Mr. Ryuzaki...
Misa...
Do you love Light?
Yes... very much.
But you also worship Kira.
Yes...
So who would you pick, Light or Kira?
Light, of course.
What? I'm grateful to Kira and want to meet him,
but that's not love. Definitely Light.
Light wants to catch Kira.
Isn't that right, Light?
Yeah. Of course.
It seems he wants to catch him. Now what'll you do?
If Light wants to catch him, then I want Light to catch him.
So would you want to help Light by working with him...
on the investigation?
Ryuzaki!
Yeah! I'll do anything for Light!
Wait a second. What are you thinking?
Aiber will pose as Eraldo Coil and tell those seven men that...
he learned that Misa Amane might be able to identify I.
And that I brought her in for questioning
because he suspected that she was the Second Kira.
Well, that £9 true.
If they know that Misa Amane might know L...
they'll have her appear in their commercials
and try to ask her about various things.
Since Mr. Matsuda's screw up...
there were talks about using her in their commercials.
Yeah. Yeah.
- That's no good. - Why?
Because it would subject you to danger.
Huh? You're worried about me?
Yay!
But this is nothing if it's for you.
Listen, Misa, if they know that you might know who I is...
we don't know what means they'll use to get that information out of you.
It's all right. I won't say anything under any kind of torture.
Yes. That is true...
Besides, Kira can control his victims' actions before death.
There is a good chance that
he might try to get her to talk and kill her.
No, if he kills L, then he won't have any use for her and
Kira would kill Misa to keep her silent.
I wouldn't like that...
Light.
If we win, Misa won't die.
Also...
as long as we're handcuffed, we'll share the same fate.
If I die, you'll die too.
In that case, Misa is the one who would grieve the most.
It's either we both die, or we catch Kira.
Now which will you choose?
Catch Kira! I can't live in a world without Light.
Yes, that's correct.
Hey, Ryuzaki, that's messed up.
We have no time. I'm desperate.
Besides, Misa Amane's... bravery and love for you...
are the greatest in the world.
Ryuzaki...
I think I've been wrong about you all this time.
I called you a pervert and all...
You really do understand me!
Yes. Misa is the perfect, most worthy woman for Light.
Yay!
Thank you, Ryuzaki.
I could fall in love with you, you know.
Uh... That's a little...
How about being friends, Ryuzaki?
Yes. I've made another friend.
Yeah. All of Light's friends are my friends.
Let's all be friends!
Yay!
And I'll never betray any of my friends.
With our powers combined, let's arrest Kira!
No, but...
Yagami is taking a different investigative approach from us
and will be working with his father and the others.
You and I will be together, Misa.
Huh? What's up with that?
That was dirty, Ryuzaki.
Now my only choice is to join your investigation...
No, that's quite all right.
What are you talking about? Light will be joining us!
No, it's not like that...
I'm opposed to this investigation. It's too dangerous for you.
Light...
Thank you for thinking about me.
But let me do this. I want to be of use to you.
I want to be of use to you and I want you to love me even more.
Plus, I...
would gladly die for you.
Right now, it will be difficult to arrest the seven of them...
Mogi, Matsuda, do you have any good ideas?
