...and when you know I'm Kira, we can get married!
And so…
Higuchi is Kira.
GUIDANCE
If the killing of criminals stops,
it means Higuchi probably has Kira's powers.
Still…
I knew that Amane would do anything for Light Yagami, but…
I never thought she would go this far.
If the killing of criminals stops,
it will become difficult to deduce the method of killing.
I must think of a plan.
Misa, how did you get Higuchi to say that?
Huh? He's totally in love with me.
I told him that I would marry him if he was Kira.
And he thinks that I'm the second Kira.
If I don't say this now, I'll probably just expose myself later.
You idiot! We told you to deny everything.
But now we know that Higuchi is Kira,
we can just catch him.
I suppose you could call this a victory, right, Mr. Matsuda?
In our current situation,
we still don't know how he kills his victims.
That's true.
Before we catch Higuchi, I want to know how he kills people.
If criminals stop dying, we won't be able to figure it out.
Isn't that right?
Yes. Even if we're going to arrest Higuchi,
we'll only do it when we're sure that criminals have stopped dying.
Please let me think for a moment.
-Wedy. -Yes.
What's the current situation?
Everything's going smoothly.
We should be able to track 70%
of the seven's actions with our cameras while they're in the building.
What about outside of the building?
That's impossible for me and Watari to do on our own.
What if we just focus on Higuchi?
Higuchi?
I've only been inside five of their houses,
but Mido, Namikawa and Higuchi's houses have advanced security systems.
Especially Higuchi.
He recently built an underground room that blocks out electronic waves.
It took me two days to break into it.
Higuchi is definitely suspicious.
All right.
Then please install wire-taps, tracking devices and cameras
in Higuchi's car instead of his house.
What? After all this?
Do you know how difficult it is to get inside someone's house?
Besides, do you know how many cars Higuchi has?
Six.
All right. I just have to install them in all of his cars, right?
Please do.
Whoa, I would have been in trouble if he had been wire-tapped earlier.
Yagami, sorry for coming back to this topic, but…
I have to ask you again.
Ask me what?
Do you remember how to kill?
You're still asking that?
I'm not Kira. How many times do I…
Just answer the question.
Do you remember?
I don't.
Misa, what about you?
I don't remember and I'm not Kira.
Yagami, please think long and hard...
about what I'm going to say.
Your answer will determine whether we can catch Kira.
Light Yagami was Kira.
And Kira's power was passed on to someone else.
Right now, Light Yagami doesn't remember that he was Kira.
What would it mean if he were?
Can you imagine it?
Yeah, I'll give it a try.
Light Yagami was Kira.
And Kira's power was passed to someone else.
Did it pass on through Light Yagami's will?
Or was there someone behind Light Yagami
who gave him Kira's power?
Did that person pass Light Yagami's power to someone else?
In that scenario, it would be Light Yagami's choice.
Of course it is.
If there was someone who was passing that power from person to person
and who didn't want the method of murder to be discovered,
it's strange that he took so long to move it from you to someone else.
If we acknowledge the existence of someone watching us from above,
he would be impossible to catch…
and I'd either be dead already,
or be being toyed with, forever, in the palm of his hand.
It's highly unlikely that such a being exists.
Even if Light Yagami was Kira…
Kira's power can only move at the will of the person who has it.
Yagami, thanks to you, I feel 99% better.
We shall engineer a situation
where Higuchi can't pass his power on to anyone else,
and have him show us how he kills.
What are you going to do?
I'm going to use Sakura TV to trick Higuchi.
-A hidden camera show? -What's that?
The Kira Special that Demegawa airs every week.
We'll take a three-hour time slot and we'll start the program by saying
that we'll announce who Kira is at the end of the program.
Will he believe that?
We're talking about Sakura TV, right?
Besides, Higuchi might not watch that program.
We'll tell Namikawa to call Higuchi and say,
"This is bad. Turn on your TV."
Higuchi will believe us when he realizes that the person on TV
knows his secret.
I see. So we're going to use Aiber.
He'll reveal that he was really a spy.
Not by a long shot.
We won't use Aiber.
The person who appears on that show
has to be someone that Higuchi thinks he can kill.
In other words, someone whose name he can easily look up.
Is there anyone who could do it?
-Only Mr. Matsuda can do it. -Matsu!
Matsuda, huh?
Higuchi probably thinks that you were listening in on their meeting.
He'll believe that the manager he thought was dead would rat him out.
That's right.
I'll have Sakura TV prepare the glass privacy screen and voice filter
they always use for witnesses.
Higuchi would probably realize from the announcement and the silhouette
that it's Matsui, the manager.
We'll have the station make a mistake
and accidentally flash the face of the person behind the glass screen.
Wow! Sounds fun.
Right up until the show ends,
we'll keep saying that we'll reveal the real name of H, who's Kira.
That way,
Higuchi will want to discover his name as soon as possible.
We can anticipate Higuchi's actions.
And we'll be able to see how Kira kills.
After that, we'll apprehend him.
Right now, the only problem with this plan is…
if Higuchi can kill someone by looking at their face, just like the second Kira,
Mr. Matsuda will die.
Since you're still alive and he still wants Misa,
that probably won't happen.
Well, this is a plan for when the criminals stop dying.
We'll have to watch for two or three days to see if that happens.
In that time, Mr. Matsuda will have to decide if he wants to do it.
I don't need two or three days.
Please let me do it.
What did you want to talk to me about in secret?
Namikawa, who do you think is Kira?
Why do you want to know?
Besides, he could be either of you.
No, Shimura's not Kira.
He was just crying to me
about how he can't keep up with Kira's evil deeds anymore.
Shimura, if Mido was Kira, you would have been killed.
No, you and Mido would have been successful on your own.
You two wouldn't need to hold those stupid meetings with eight people.
Even I know that.
We're all cooperating because we're afraid that Kira's going to kill us.
But if we continue, the world will find out someday.
No, it won't end until that happens.
So Shimura, let me ask you: who do you think is Kira?
Takahashi or Higuchi.
Takahashi is only there to make Kira look smarter.
He needs someone around him who's less sophisticated than he is.
It seems that everyone already knows.
It's probably Higuchi.
Yeah, Higuchi is the one most obsessed with money and status.
The way he always says things
as if he's not interested in success is proof of that.
Still, he's always insulting people and can't manage them well.
That's why he was demoted from Head of Development
to just a divisional head.
Was I the only one you called here?
I also called Ooi,
but he said, "You can hold your silly secret meetings by yourself."
That sounds like the sort of thing he'd say.
We know that Kida isn't Kira
because he provided the account to help fund and commission Coil.
Namikawa,
during that meeting after Hatori died,
you received a phone call.
Who was it from?
Shimura, you're really sharp.
Kira probably made you a member because he appreciates your caution.
This is Namikawa.
This is L.
Mr. Namikawa, are you by yourself?
No.
Then only say what you think's safe.
There's no need for that.
There's someone who got suspicious after you called me during the meeting.
Who's calling you, Namikawa?
It's L.
L, Mido and Shimura are here, but…
I don't think either of them is Kira.
They seem to be fed up with Kira.
Despite what they say,
they choose to stand back and watch your face-off with Kira. As do I.
That should be fine.
Tonight, I'm going to catch Kira.
I want you to help me a little.
Higuchi's done, huh?
You knew?
It seems that even L can be tricked.
Judging by your reaction, I'm now 100% sure it's Higuchi.
Namikawa is pretty good.
I was expecting that, judging from his appearance.
No, Light just made a mistake.
We're going to provoke Higuchi with a special about Kira on Sakura TV,
which will air tonight at seven.
A few minutes into the program,
I want you to contact Higuchi and tell him to watch that show.
I won't do anything to the rest of you.
If the others who aren't there,
Kida, Takahashi and Ooi, try to do something,
stop them.
Yes, all right.
So it really is Higuchi.
He'll probably be arrested tonight.
It's been three days since I stopped killing criminals.
That should be good enough.
Now, if I marry the second Kira, Misa Amane…
I'll have the Shinigami eyes,
and I'll control everything that Yotsuba has!
Higuchi, something bad's happening.
Turn on Sakura TV.
KIRA'S IDENTITY
So, one of those people is Kira, correct?
Yes. I have a lot of proof.
What is this?
It's probably a hoax. It's Sakura TV.
At the beginning of the program,
he said that he stumbled upon a meeting of eight people.
Someone who knows about the meetings?
Who is it? Has someone betrayed us?
One of them was killed and now there are only seven left.
The victim was Mr. H.
H? Hatori…
If he knows this much, could he be one of the other six?
Is it Coil?
Mr. H was killed by Kira because he wanted to leave the meetings.
No. He wouldn't benefit from doing this.
But, there's no one else who knows about those meetings.
No! This guy is…
It's-- It's him!
Misa's manager. I think his name was Matsui!
How is he still alive?
He said that he thought he was going to be killed.
He took a chance, pretended to fall out of the condo,
and escaped onto a veranda on the floor below.
No. To be on the safe side, I went home,
I got his name from his business card and wrote it in the notebook.
TARO MATSUI
Why is he alive? Was he a former entertainer
who became a manager under his stage name?
I don't know!
Furthermore, he says that he continued to investigate Yotsuba
and so figured out who Kira is.
I'm contacting everyone right now.
All right. I'm going to hang up.
Are you all right after that mishap just now?
Should we stop?
No, I'm well aware of the danger.
There must be justice, even if I'm killed.
I will fight for this until the very end!
This is good. That is good!
Don't make the Kira announcement until the end of the program.
I have to kill him.
If the second Kira is Misa, then she knows his face,
so she should know what his name is.
Here it comes!
What the hell? C'mon!
To be honest, I've been debating whether or not I should make this announcement.
But now that I'm here, I've decided that it's my duty to reveal it.
This is not good.
-I don't know when he's going reveal it. -The announcement...
Don't change the channel.
Cosme Misa.
Devilish charm, angelic shine…
Misa's winning rouge is now available for everyone.
Mido, it's me.
Something bad's happening on Sakura TV.
Contact your father at the House of Councilors.
Ask the Ministry of Internal Affairs to stop this program.
I'm watching it too, but that's impossible.
No one takes this program seriously, so we'd just look suspicious.
Besides, there's nothing to fear anymore.
That guy just showed his face.
We can confirm that it's Taro Matsui.
Namikawa is telling everyone to watch this show.
One of us seven is Kira.
So, Taro Matsui will die soon.
That's right!
I'm the only one who knows that Taro Matsui is not his real name.
If I say that, then I'll reveal that I'm Kira.
-Everyone... -You're right.
-...Kira's identity will be revealed soon! -Talk to you later.
Stay with us!
Damn!
Ryuzaki, Mogi's in front of Yoshida Productions
and he's received a call from Higuchi.
It's exactly as we planned. Time to move on to the next stage.
Moji, where's Misa?
Oh, Mr. Higuchi, a pleasure doing business with you.
Misa is taking a much-needed break at the moment.
She'll be back tomorrow.
I'm asking you, where is she?
Well, that's private, she doesn't want anyone to know.
I'm very sorry.
I can contact her tomorrow.
Damn it. I know his face.
I could kill him at any time, if I only knew his name!
Was the previous manager a former entertainer?
-Pardon? -The guy by the name of Taro Matsui.
Oh, I came in as a replacement, so I don't know anything.
In that case, please contact someone at the office.
Oh, but everyone's gone to Okinawa.
Could you call our president?
Wow. It's going exactly as we planned and it's kinda scary.
Don't be scared. Be happy, Yagami.
I shall broadcast Higuchi's call to Yoshida Production's president.
This is Higuchi from Yotsuba.
Taro Matsui's not the real name of the guy who was with you, was it?
-He's getting more and more direct. -Ah, he was using…
-Higuchi's an idiot. -...his manager's name.
-It's proof that he's losing confidence. -I see.
So what's his real name?
I believe it was Yamada…
No, Yamashita.
And his first name was… I don't remember.
Don't screw around!
Remember the names of the people you hire!
What's with that tone?
I have his personal record back at the office.
Then go there and tell me.
Give me a break!
We haven't had a company vacation in over two years!
If you want to know that badly,
I'll tell you the security code for the office.
You can go right in and look around.
Personnel files are in the desk farthest back and to the left.
They're in alphabetical order in the bottom drawer.
It's probably Yamashita.
If he's going to say it at the end of the program,
I still have more two hours.
I wonder if he'll do it.
I've confirmed Higuchi.
He only has one bag on him. I'm going after him.
Everything's going according to plan, isn't it?
Yes.
I will kill him.
I've come this far and I will not be stopped!
Everything will be mine!
