The human whose name is written in this note shall die.
-Please! Stop! -Let's see what will happen.
TAKUO SHIBUIMARU ACCIDENTAL DEATH
The Death Note is real.
Don't think for a moment
that any human who's used the Death Note can go to heaven or hell.
I want the world to know of my existence
and that there's someone who is passing judgment onto them.
And I will become...
the god of this new world!
CONFRONTATION
I had no idea what he was thinking, so I'm done with him.
Really? Then how was it with that other older guy?
Mr. Yagami.
Please translate the sentence into Japanese.
Yes.
"When finally he fully succeeded in making his dream a reality,
he was immersed in beatitude."
Very good.
As usual, a perfect answer.
Well then, class is dismissed.
-It's finally over. -Where do you want to go after?
-School sure is boring. -Where should we go?
Hey, Light.
Light, are you listening to me?
Don't talk to me.
Others can hear my voice when I talk, unlike yours.
You're so boring.
Hey, Light! We're going to go...
Sorry, I have something to do.
You don't have anything to do.
Aren't you just going home like you usually do?
What are you talking about? I have something to do.
Something very important.
Yamada is suspected of stabbing a fellow employee in the abdomen
at a restaurant in Kabukicho, Shinjuku yesterday.
The knife was from the restaurant and was roughly 12 inches long.
-Hey! -The suspect said...
-Hey, Light! -"He was being rude, so I just lost it."
What is it?
You're really working very hard.
I can't waste any time.
I only have a limited amount of time to write names in the notebook.
That is when I get home from school and until I go to bed.
I also need to maintain my grades.
I can't sleep during class.
I need to do all of my homework for school and my prep classes.
Lack of sleep is dangerous.
It will affect my health and concentration.
After all, I'm trying to change this world into a utopia without evil.
There's never enough time.
Why did you lock the door, Light?
It's Sayu.
What is it?
Help me with my homework.
Okay, sure.
It's on quadratic equations.
I'm sorry if you were studying,
but it just isn't making any sense.
-Please help me. -All right.
Light, be careful.
Any human who touches the notebook in your drawer
will be able to see me.
He waited until now to tell me that crucial detail?
Damn you, Shinigami!
What's wrong, Light?
It's nothing.
Well, what exactly don't you understand?
Well...
I think everything.
There have been 52 deaths that we're aware of just this past week.
All from heart attacks.
They're all wanted criminals and prisoners.
There are probably other criminals whose deaths are still unaccounted for.
So the death toll could easily be over a hundred?
Chief, we've already started.
I know. I had a call from headquarters.
At any rate,
they were all criminals who probably would have been executed.
We shouldn't concern ourselves...
Are you stupid?
It doesn't matter if they're criminals or on death row.
Killing is still murder.
We aren't even sure that they were murdered.
How can over 100 people have heart attacks at the same time?
It's got to be murder.
Is it even possible to kill that many people at the same time?
We believe that a large organization carefully orchestrated these killings.
If you say a large organization is involved,
I can't help but think that the FBI or CIA is involved.
I dare you to say that again!
Now, now. Let's stop joking around.
We have to first clarify if these are murders
or strange coincidences.
But don't all the autopsy reports say
that the deaths were caused by inexplicable heart attacks?
I don't see what else can be learned from just the way they died.
That's right!
It would be worth looking into if they were stabbed with knives!
If that's the case, let's just have L solve this!
What do you think?
Chief, what is L?
This is your first time at this conference, right?
No one knows L's name, location, or what he looks like.
But he's managed to solve every case he's taken,
no matter how difficult it is.
He's cracked many of the world's unsolved cases.
He's our trump card, our secret weapon.
Our last hope.
Something like that.
But isn't L so arrogant that he only takes cases that interest him?
That's right.
We can't even contact him.
L is already involved.
L is already investigating this case.
Watari?
He's the only man who can contact L.
Watari's identity is also unknown.
Please be silent.
L will now speak.
Members of the ICPO...
I am L.
What are we doing sneaking around such a desolate place, Light?
People who touch the Death Note can see you, right?
I can't walk around with something this dangerous.
Up until now, I thought that if my family saw the notebook,
I could pass it off as a record of cases
which I'm using to study to become a detective.
But I'm walking a fine line right now.
If I'm not careful, I might end up killing...
my own family.
This case is difficult, as it involves more people than any other case.
It is also an unforgivable case of serial murder.
In order to solve this case, I need the ICPO...
no, various worldwide organizations, to cooperate fully.
At this conference, I want you to decide whether you'll support me.
Also...
I strongly desire to work with the Japanese Police.
Why Japan?
Regardless of how many suspects there are,
there's a strong possibility that they are Japanese.
Even if they aren't Japanese, they are hiding in Japan.
What grounds do you have for your claims?
Why Japan?
I think I can show you very soon by directly confronting the perpetrator.
A direct confrontation?
