Death Note: L Change the WorLd (2008) Movie Script
What's the matter?
You're quiet.
Can't we
decline this assignment?
Why?
He's a serial killer.
He won't hesitate to kill.
He is the one
who planned this strike.
That's a guarantee of safety.
And l'm sure he
knows about us, too.
Huh? About what?
l'm going, Raye.
Hey, Naomi.
l'll be all right, Raye.
Do you know ''takami no kenbutsu''?
''Takami no kenbutsu.''
Watch an event
unfold as a spectator.
My intention is
to fight along with them.
Following the B.B. case, this is
the second time you're assigning Naomi.
You must really trust Naomi.
She plans to quit
the F.B.l. to get married.
At such a time, she can
prove to be most effective.
Do you think of quitting, too?
Me? Quit?
For me...
this is everything.
Watari, l'll be happy
as long as you're with me.
lsn't Miss Naomi in danger?
Twelve seconds earlier than planned.
She's very good.
You're very good, too.
Thank you very much.
Make arrangements to go to Japan.
To Japan?
With 97% probability
Kira is in Japan.
l may not be able to return.
''The person whose name is
written in the notebook

''Time of death, controlled
by the Death Note, is 23 days.''
1 20 DAYS LATER
BANGNUM VlLLAGE, THAlLAND
Light Yagami...
Bad news?
F died in Thailand.
lt was in the line of duty,
so it couldn't be helped but...
That's Misa's notebook, isn't it?
Whose name did you write in?
Light Yagami's?
This is the last
name to be written
in the Death Note.
''L. Lawliet - Will peacefully die
of a heart failure 23 days later.''
L...
Light Yagami will attempt
to kill me with the Death Note.
Determine my own fate.
lt's the one and
only way to outwit Death.
To stop the
enormous evil called Kira
it's a small sacrifice.
So, it's 23 days later.
Bring Misa Amane here.
Kira and l have a score to settle.

DlSEASE CENTER OF ASlA
This should do it.
Do you check your temperature?
Of course. Every four hours.
You told me to, Dad.
Professor Nikaido.
- Kujo here.
- Come in.
- Dr. Kujo.
- Maki.
l want to take you somewhere
on your next day off.
No time off for a while, l guess.
WHAT COMES WlTH ''HOPE''

Maki, Dr. Kujo has work to do.
Yes, Dad.

lt's finished.
Thanks. Good work.
Dr. Kujo.
Virus weapon sent from Thailand.
Virus weapon...
Washington wants us to examine this.
l examined it, and discovered
two types of virus are its roots.
Highly infectious influenza virus
was crossed with
the deadly Ebola genes.
lt is Death itself.
lnfection rate is
100 times that of Ebola.
Who in the world made this?
Many countries are secretly undertaking
the development of virus weapons.
One country succeeded.
No, this one is a failure.
A virus weapon is a success
only if it comes with an antidote.
Otherwise, the user
will also be infected.
l'm sure there was an antidote,
but it's of no use now.
What do you mean?
This virus has mutated
in the past 20 hours.
Mr. Watari, are you
Mr. Ryuzaki's father?
No, l'm...
The Death Note.
Checkmate.
Wait a minute.
Burning that won't change your lifespan.
l know. l have 20 days.
C'mon...Wait.
Light said he could be the god
of a new world with that.
Doesn't that interest you?
The way Light died...
Was it godly?

ENVlRONMENTAL GROUP - BLUE SHlP
Water temperature 24 degrees. Ph 6.2.
Sorry l kept you waiting,
Professor Kagami.
Though we act
like the ruler of Earth...
...mankind cannot even
imitate the basics of nature.
Ten years ago,
the planet's self-recuperative power
would have been effective.
But now it is no longer...
Yes, Earth is coming to its end.
All the more, l looked forward
to cleansing Earth, that is...
...by reducing humans with the virus.
l'm aware of that.
lf you are, Matoba...
...why seek a buyer for that virus?
Pardon?
Union of European companies,
the American establishment...
...and Russia.
You're weighing their bids.
ls it money you want?
Such greed for personal gain...
...has contaminated
the wealth of Earth's nature.
Don't you understand that?
Get out of here.
There is no place here
for the likes of you.
There's no place for you here.
Professor Kagami.
Are you really trying to sell the virus?
You heard the originator of this plan.
The virus must be scattered
simultaneously in various areas.
To enable that...
...we need to become partners with
a group which has a global network.
We don't need anyone who would
hesitate with our Earth Cleansing Plan.
Are we clear on this?
We're all gonna die anyway.
19 DAYS LEFSee the man the camera captured.
He's the serial killer,
murdering the clergymen.
This man?
Yes.
The probability rate is 86%.
lf he's the culprit, he hides souvenirs
in the crypt under the church.
Yes, sir.
Concerning Princess Joanne's death.
l have evidence that it was
not an accident but assassination.
l see. Please send the data right away.
l will.
14 DAYS LEFYou can't make a call
unless you put in money.
A gift from F.
1 2 DAYS LEFAlthough he's scared,
he's physically sound.
Why was he the only one not infected?
l don't know.
Unless we find a countermeasure,
the virus will be used again.
And in the near future.
10 DAYS LEF8 DAYS LEFMy first babysitting experience...
...doesn't seem to be working out.
Maki, welcome home.
Did you have a good day?
Mom.
Maki.
l need a favor.
What?
Please deliver this to him.
The address is in here.
Him? Who is it?
He's the answer to this.
Your homework was well done.
Naturally.
And...This is your new homework.
Again?
l'm well aware...
...that ''if it's difficult,
it's worth the challenge.''
Now, off you go.
Dr. Kujo.
Yes?
Can you stay? l'd like to talk to you.
Fine with me. What is it?
Meet me in P-4.
Yes, l will.
Mr. Matoba, please.
VlRl AND BACTERlA lNFECTlONS
May l help you?
Sorry to bother you
at this hour, but we're...
...such people.
What are you doing?
Dr. Kujo.
How can l help you?
So, it's you.
l examined the culture fluid
of that virus.
The ingredients matched those l mixed.
ln other words,
that virus was created in this lab.
What is this?
Who are you? Why're you doing this?
We are people
who grieve for the future of Earth.
Earth's ecosystem will be destroyed.
The human species
has increased excessively.
Don't you understand?
lf there are too many,
all we do is decrease that number.
A virus weapon for that?
That is so foolish!
Dr. Kujo, don't tell me
you agree with him.
You're intelligent and decent.
l am...the originator of this plan.
Due to the excessive increase
of humans, Earth is now at peril.
l will eliminate useless human beings...
...to create a new world and its ecosystem.
How could you...?
Professor, l didn't intend to
tell you so soon.
l wanted you to concentrate on
developing the antidote for that virus.
What's the matter?
l knew it.
You've succeeded.
This is the only antidote.
l've deleted all the data.
l'm going to incinerate this, too.
Professor.
Without this, you can't spray the virus.
Professor Nikaido.
Hand it over.
No.
Professor, don't do it.
Bring the professor's daughter.
Why my daughter?
Which is more precious?
Your daughter or antidote data?
Go.
Wait!
l guess there's no alternative.
Why that virus?
Professor!
Dr. Kujo.
You have...
...overcome the weakness
of the virus weapon.
The onset of the virus
does not occur immediately.
Because of this, it was said
that virus cannot be a weapon.
But you have...
The new world
needs people like you, professor.
Need?
l do not want to be chosen...
...by people like you.
Have P-4...
...incinerated in the plasma furnace.
This virus...
...eats through
the epidemic prevention filter.
Hey, what's up?
Please. Drive.
Where to?
Go to all these addresses.
You said the antidote data is here.
Please look for it.
l am. ln my head.
WHAT COMES WlTH ''HOPE''
lN THE CHART BELOW?
What?

W...A...
T...A...
R...l...
l found it.
Maki, welcome home.
Did you have a good day?
Maki, welcome home.
Clear these.
- Mustn't communicate now.
- Get back.
l'm K. How do you do? You're L?
Yes, you're right.
l'm L. How do you do?
Thank you for letting me
know about Watari. You surprised me.
ls anything wrong?
l'm researching infectious diseases.
Something happened,
and l need your help.
My help? Why?
A new, devastating virus was discovered.
But my partner who developed
the antidote was murdered.
The data is missing,
and l want you to find it.
Mankind must be saved.
l see. You must
provide me with the details.
Please come over at noon tomorrow?
Yes, l will. Tell me where to go.
l'll send you a map.
See you then.
l'm researching infectious disease.
Who was that?
A formidable foe.
Maki took the data with her.
The data will come here.
6 DAYS LEFh...Excuse me.
Can l help you?
l was told to show you this.
l have no idea what that is.
So this isn't it, either. Darn.
What's the matter?
l've been driving
all night from yesterday.
l've really had it.
Only talks to her bear.
l give up.
Bear?
teddy bear. The passenger is a girl.
She's looking for a man named Watari.
l guess this isn't it, either.
Thank you for your time.
Would you please let that girl in?
What is that?
Some medicine?
No, this is a virus.
A virus?
Yes.
At all costs, no one
must possess the antidote.
One who possesses it will be
impervious to the virus.
That's why Professor Nikaido
entrusted Watari with this virus...
...and destroyed
the only antidote he developed...
...along with himself.
Have a bite.
What time is it?
lt's 8:00.
My dad's orders.
lt's unlocked.
Maki!
What your dad confided in you...
...was the wrong item.
He needs that badly.
Can you give it back?
So, that's it.
K...
Or shall l call you Dr. Kimiko Kujo.
The appointed time is noon.
You seem to have found out my name.
Then, l want you to show your face.
Watari was very proud of you.
l'm sure he still feels that way.
Don't think he can save you.
He has his weak points, too.
Some things can't be solved up here.
Let me go.
Let me go.
Maki.
What the hell...
Murderer!
l saw it all.
You should bleed
and die like my dad.
lndeed, that is my weak point.
Let me go. You'll be infected.
Let me go.
Let me go.
Hey.
Let me go.
l'll kill her.
l'll kill her with the virus.
Let me go.
Agent Suruga, F.B.l.
With Watari gone, we'll protect you.
That's encouraging.
This way.
No.
The Countermeasure
Transfer Room is in here.
What in the world is this?
Crepe...
Please drive.
Didn't the girl have the virus?
What happened to the antidote data?
Don't tell me it doesn't exist.
What's our next move?
You're the developer.
We can make the virus.
But it's useless without the antidote.
You're right.
He's ahead of us.
Shut down all L's access
from the outside.
Yes, ma'am.
l can kill anyone l want now...
Do you think your dad
sent you to Watari for that purpose?
Dad is...Dad is dead.
You know
this Watari person, don't you?
Yes.
l am L.
L...
They call themselves ''Blue Ship''
an environmental group.
That man with a scar is an extremist
using that as his cover.
But K is not a group member.
Mr. Suruga.
What?
Turn left 30 meters ahead.
We're getting out.
30 meters...
Over here.
Here?
Let's go.
Let's meet here two hours from now.
Drive on as fast as you like.
That means...
Am l a decoy?
Damn! They're persistent.
What the hell are you doing?
This is a one-way street. Stop.
What're you doing?
l told you to stop, you bastard.
l said it's a one-way street. Stop.
Let me through. F.B.l. business.
So what? Get out.
You're Japanese, aren't you?
l'm F.B.l.
You're Japanese. You can't fool me.
Welcome, master.
Sorry l kept you waiting.
Please enjoy, master.
He's strange.
Easy to call him that.
They're Fibonacci Numbers.
He's a mathematical genius.
He's F's...
A gift Watari left me.
By the way,
the virus you had seems to be...
...a fake.
That's impossible.
Your dad was infected
right after contact.
Your body temperature shows no change.
Body temperature?
That might be the reason.
Maki received an injection
every 10 days.
Dad didn't tell me
what the injection was.
You're saying the virus is restrained
because of the injection.
lt can't be anything else.
Does it mean Maki's body has both
the virus and the hint on how
to restrain the virus?
lt's that much more important to get her.
- You go too.
- Wait. Let's change our plan.
We don't have much time.
lt seems we don't have much time.
Don't worry about it.
l, too, need to settle this in six days.
Did she inject the virus herself?
Yes, she did.
Don't worry. ln the dormant stage...
no virus will be a threat.
l see...
But before the virus...
...takes effect,
we need to travel a bit far.
With her?
lf the virus awakens,
we'll be infected first.
We probably will.
''L. Lawliet - Will peacefully die
of a heart failure 23 days later.''
Perhaps it won't be
as ''peacefully'' as l hoped.
Leave the rest to the F.B.l.
Thank you. ln that case, Mr. Suruga...
l need a favor.
Anything for you.
Damn.
Made me a decoy again.
Where're we going?
To a man named Kouichi Matsudo.
Professor Matsudo?
l've met him before.
But how do you know him?
When l looked at the book on the
lnfectious Disease Center, he and...
...your dad were listed as co-writers.
KOUlCHl MATSUDO KlMlHlKO NlKAlDO
We interrupt this program
for emergency news.
girl infected by a dangerous virus...
...has escaped from a hospital.
We have Dr. Kujo of
the lnfectious Disease Center here.
Dr. Kujo, what kind of a virus is this?
This virus is extremely infectious and...
...there is no effective vaccine yet.
lf symptoms appear,
recovery is impossible.
l can say the virus is lethal.
This is Maki Nikaido, who is currently missing.
''THE GlRL lNFECTED BY A DANGEROUS VlRUS''
She is 1 2 years old
and goes to a school in Saitama.
lmpossible.
She was last seen
wearing a navy blue school uniform.
Let's get off.
Can't use public transport anymore.
girl infected by a lethal virus
got off the train at this station.
The virus could be airborne.
We are undertaking an infection test.
Please cooperate to prevent
the virus from spreading.
Please. We need your cooperation.
We are looking for this girl.
''Witness reports on
the girl infected by the virus''
Approximately 30,000.
We need some time to verify them.
L.
l'm really tired, L.
Suruga, have you...
recovered the Death Note yet?
L and l are moving separately now.
Separately? What do you mean?
To gain L 's trust.
Why move separately for that?
But l promise to accomplish my mission.
5 DAYS LEFYou bastard.
Moving around
with a person infected with the virus?
lt's common sense
to avoid densely populated areas.
What if the symptoms appeared?
Not just Maki, but everybody
around her will be affected.
Hey.
Are you listening?
Absolutely irresponsible.
What is it?
Quarantine me.
Have the symptoms...?
You're all right.
You must've run through the woods.
lt's a tick bite.
Come with me.
What do you plan to do?
Maki is very scared.
That's why we need someone
who can make the antidote.
l can't.
Professor Nikaido could, though.
l'm...
l'm scared.
The vaccine l developed killed people.
So, l'm scared.
There are lives l have sacrificed, too.
But now, l can't...
...abandon the life before me.
Hi, Mr. Noda.
Oh, hi, Professor Matsudo.
''DO NOT PASS WlTHOUT PERMlSSlON''
l'll be using the lab again.
l hope you have
permission from the professor?
4 DAYS LEF3 DAYS LEFFind out anything?
lts energy source is sugar.
lt likes sugar, but not fruit sugar.
Sugar?
Maki has low blood sugar.
The virus probably
isn't active inside her
because of that.
Not because of her dad's injection?
The injection was
probably for her low blood sugar.
Does determining the energy source
help in developing the antidote?
No.
Destroying the sugar
in the body will kill the virus...
...but that would stop body activity.
What?
Please be quiet for a while.
What is that?
M...K.
So, what is it?
lt's a code.
That's the homework my dad gave me.
lt's a message from Professor Nikaido.
What could MK mean?
Tell me if any word
draws your attention.
That's it.
Midkine may be
able to suppress the virus.
So that's what it is.
lt's a protein,
which creates and breeds cells.
Restores broken cells and
stops cancer from progressing.
Restores nerve cells, so it may be
a wonder drug for Alzheimer.
ls it possible
to artificially synthesize Midkine?
Yes, with unlimited
research funding and five years.
Five years...
But l'll think of some way to do that.
For example...
...Midkine is abundant in a fetus.
lt has to be a fetus.
He's a survivor of the village
destroyed by that virus.
Really?!
He was examined, but not for...
...MK proteins.
Let me take some of your blood.
Ah, this feels good.
There will be a series
of tests from tomorrow.
l know that.
C'mon. Let's eat.
Wait.
Let's eat.
Let's eat.
Why do you only eat sweets?
Sugar is an essential energy source
of the brain and...
Eating too much is bad.
You'll die.
You may be right.
You should...
....straighten your back, too.
l'm going to the bathroom.
Maki.
Thanks for the call.
l'll kill you.
Can't kill you
when the antidote is made.
l'll kill you before that.
Sorry. l broke
my promise to come alone.
You coward!
They're looking for the reason
why Maki doesn't show symptoms.
To develop the antidote.
No, Dr. Kujo's aware...
...Maki's symptoms can appear
at any moment now.
Then, why take Maki?
Maki is a perfect vessel
for secretly carrying the virus.
Please continue to
work on the antidote.
We'll need a lot of it.
Wait a minute.
ls it finished?
Hasn't been tested yet.
You're incredible.
l'll get to work...
...and make as much as l can.
Please do so.
l didn't expect a child
to stake her life for revenge.
Her dad was killed before her eyes.
Can't blame her.
You may be right.
lf Kujo is escaping from Japan?
...does that mean
they've developed the antidote?
No. By taking Maki...
...she is deceiving the Blue Ship members
into thinking the antidote is completed.
How does Kujo
intend to scatter the virus?
They could disguise as an emergency
patient and medical staff.
They could easily board a plane.
Then, hijack the plane.
To where?
Probably to the U.S.
To the U.S.?
Matoba may have chosen the destination.
As you said, Matoba uses
the ecology group as his front.
Matoba has no principles, just greed.
People with greed will head for
the most profitable country.
2 DAYS LEFPlease.
JNA flight 204, right?
Attending personnel
are Dr. Kimiko Kujo...
And myself, Daisuke Matoba.
Let me see the papers.
ls she Mayumi Honda?
Yes.
l hope her surgery goes well.
Good morning.
Thank you for boarding JNA flight 204.
l burned the Death Note.
l no longer have it.
l'm sorry l couldn't help your mission.
l see...
But l...
L.
l want to help you.
Good morning, passengers.
This is your captain, Saito.
We are ready to take off...
...but have just received...
...a report from the control tower.
suspicious vehicle is on the runway.
We have been requested to remain
on standby at this location.
We will inform you
of any further developments.
Thank you for your cooperation.
What're you doing?
Move.
Get out of my way.
Anything wrong?
Don't move.
What's going on?
We only take action once above the U.S.
Don't be so rigid.
Change of plan.
We'll be safe, right?
You'll soon find out.
What do you mean?
Didn't we have an injection?
l didn't make any antidote.
You tricked us?
A buyer's paying $10 million
for the virus and the antidote.
Your true aim.
Wait a minute. We'll all die.
lf you're gonna die, die alone.
We'll all die.
l don't wanna die. Help me.
Dr. Kujo, help me. Help me.
Help me...
Captain.
Oh, no. The girl on TV
is on this plane.
What's wrong?
All right?
Be quiet.
Earth is finished anyway.
Take off.
Finished...Damn.
So, we're finished.
Don't move.
Stop it.
lt's moving.
Hey, hang on.
Don't mind them.
lt's merely a minor sacrifice
for a big purpose.
No.
Whatever the reason may be...
...murder is always a bad thing.
Too bad. lt's too late now.
lt's not too late.
The antidote.
We've succeeded.
We can save them all.
lnject this to everyone.
You've done enough damage.
We don't need that.
This girl and
everyone else here will die.
Like she said, we'll all die.
Mankind, which destroys environment
and wages war, should die.
A correct ecosystem will save the world.
ls this what Watari hoped for?
He said: ''Make the world better.''
So, destroy mankind.
You must take over this plan.
l decline.
Mankind must have
the power to change the future.
lt's too late.
The plane will fly. Everybody dies,
and the virus will spread.
No.
The magnetic wave of this
is enough to crash the plane.
The virus will fall into the sea
and become harmless.
lt's checkmate.
lf you're alive,
you can start over.
No one has the right to take that away.
Start over...
l signed a contract with Death,
l'll die in two days.
Death...
You must live on.
lt's Watari's wish.
Give everyone injections.
Are you all right?
There's enough antidote for everyone.
Hurry. Take these.
What will you do?
l'll forgive.
lt'll be okay.
You're a good girl. l believed in you.
ll is under control.
Please board the bus.
Please board the bus in order.
lt has been an honor to work...
...under the command of the legendary L.

Mr. Suruga, l'm glad l trusted you.
Thank you very much.
l still have two more days.
lt's from L.
Maki, welcome home.
Did you have a good day?
Yes.
The five days were good.
Maki, welcome home.
Make tomorrow a good day, too.
Same to you.
L...
1 DAY LEFls this him?
Yes.
There is one thing
l want you to remember.

in the Death Note.
''L. Lawliet - Will peacefully die
of a heart failure 23 days later.''
L...
Light Yagami will attempt
to kill me with the Death Note.
Determine my own fate.
lt's the one and
only way to outwit Death.
To stop the
enormous evil called Kira
it's a small sacrifice.
So, it's 23 days later.
Bring Misa Amane here.
Kira and l have a score to settle.

Do you check your temperature?
Of course. Every four hours.
You told me to, Dad.
Professor Nikaido.

- Maki.
l want to take you somewhere

Yes, Dad.

Thanks. Good work.
Dr. Kujo.
Virus weapon sent from Thailand.
Virus weapon...
Washington wants us to examine this.
l examined it, and discovered
two types of virus are its roots.
Highly infectious influenza virus
was crossed with
the deadly Ebola genes.
lt is Death itself.
lnfection rate is
100 times that of Ebola.
Who in the world made this?
Many countries are secretly undertaking
the development of virus weapons.
One country succeeded.
No, this one is a failure.
A virus weapon is a success
only if it comes with an antidote.
Otherwise, the user
will also be infected.
l'm sure there was an antidote,
but it's of no use now.
What do you mean?
This virus has mutated
in the past 20 hours.
Mr. Watari, are you
Mr. Ryuzaki's father?
No, l'm...
The Death Note.
Checkmate.
Wait a minute.
Burning that won't change your lifespan.

Doesn't that interest you?

Sorry l kept you waiting,
Professor Kagami.
Though we act
like the ruler of Earth...
...mankind cannot even
imitate the basics of nature.
Ten years ago,
the planet's self-recuperative power
would have been effective.
But now it is no longer...
Yes, Earth is coming to its end.
All the more, l looked forward
to cleansing Earth, that is...
...by reducing humans with the virus.
l'm aware of that.
lf you are, Matoba...
...why seek a buyer for that virus?
Pardon?
Union of European companies,
the American establishment...
...and Russia.
You're weighing their bids.
ls it money you want?
Such greed for personal gain...
...has contaminated
the wealth of Earth's nature.
Don't you understand that?
Get out of here.
There is no place here
for the likes of you.
There's no place for you here.
Professor Kagami.
Are you really trying to sell the virus?
You heard the originator of this plan.
The virus must be scattered
simultaneously in various areas.
To enable that...
...we need to become partners with
a group which has a global network.
We don't need anyone who would
hesitate with our Earth Cleansing Plan.
Are we clear on this?
We're all gonna die anyway.
19 DAYS LEFSee the man the camera captured.
He's the serial killer,
murdering the clergymen.

Yes.
The probability rate is 86%.
lf he's the culprit, he hides souvenirs

Yes, sir.
Concerning Princess Joanne's death.
l have evidence that it was
not an accident but assassination.

A gift from F.
1 2 DAYS LEFAlthough he's scared,
he's physically sound.
Why was he the only one not infected?

Unless we find a countermeasure,
the virus will be used again.
And in the near future.

Him? Who is it?
He's the answer to this.
Your homework was well done.
Naturally.
And...This is your new homework.
Again?
l'm well aware...
...that ''if it's difficult,
it's worth the challenge.''
Now, off you go.
Dr. Kujo.

Fine with me. What is it?

May l help you?
Sorry to bother you
at this hour, but we're...
...such people.
What are you doing?
Dr. Kujo.
How can l help you?
So, it's you.
l examined the culture fluid
of that virus.
The ingredients matched those l mixed.
ln other words,
that virus was created in this lab.
What is this?
Who are you? Why're you doing this?
We are people
who grieve for the future of Earth.
Earth's ecosystem will be destroyed.
The human species
has increased excessively.
Don't you understand?
lf there are too many,
all we do is decrease that number.
A virus weapon for that?
That is so foolish!
Dr. Kujo, don't tell me
you agree with him.
You're intelligent and decent.
l am...the originator of this plan.
Due to the excessive increase
of humans, Earth is now at peril.
l will eliminate useless human beings...
...to create a new world and its ecosystem.
How could you...?
Professor, l didn't intend to
tell you so soon.
l wanted you to concentrate on
developing the antidote for that virus.
What's the matter?
l knew it.
You've succeeded.
This is the only antidote.
l've deleted all the data.
l'm going to incinerate this, too.
Professor.
Without this, you can't spray the virus.
Professor Nikaido.
Hand it over.
No.
Professor, don't do it.
Bring the professor's daughter.
Why my daughter?
Which is more precious?
Your daughter or antidote data?
Go.
Wait!
l guess there's no alternative.
Why that virus?
Professor!
Dr. Kujo.
You have...
...overcome the weakness
of the virus weapon.
The onset of the virus
does not occur immediately.
Because of this, it was said
that virus cannot be a weapon.
But you have...
The new world
needs people like you, professor.
Need?
l do not want to be chosen...
...by people like you.
Have P-4...
...incinerated in the plasma furnace.
This virus...
...eats through
the epidemic prevention filter.
Hey, what's up?
Please. Drive.
Where to?
Go to all these addresses.
You said the antidote data is here.
Please look for it.

Maki, welcome home.
Did you have a good day?
Maki, welcome home.
Clear these.
- Mustn't communicate now.
- Get back.
l'm K. How do you do? You're L?
Yes, you're right.
l'm L. How do you do?
Thank you for letting me
know about Watari. You surprised me.
ls anything wrong?
l'm researching infectious diseases.
Something happened,
and l need your help.
My help? Why?
A new, devastating virus was discovered.
But my partner who developed
the antidote was murdered.
The data is missing,
and l want you to find it.
Mankind must be saved.
l see. You must
provide me with the details.
Please come over at noon tomorrow?
Yes, l will. Tell me where to go.
l'll send you a map.
See you then.
l'm researching infectious disease.
Who was that?
A formidable foe.
Maki took the data with her.
The data will come here.
6 DAYS LEFh...Excuse me.
Can l help you?
l was told to show you this.
l have no idea what that is.
So this isn't it, either. Darn.
What's the matter?
l've been driving
all night from yesterday.
l've really had it.
Only talks to her bear.
l give up.
Bear?
teddy bear. The passenger is a girl.
She's looking for a man named Watari.
l guess this isn't it, either.
Thank you for your time.
Would you please let that girl in?
What is that?
Some medicine?
No, this is a virus.
A virus?
Yes.
At all costs, no one
must possess the antidote.
One who possesses it will be
impervious to the virus.
That's why Professor Nikaido
entrusted Watari with this virus...
...and destroyed
the only antidote he developed...
...along with himself.
Have a bite.
What time is it?
lt's 8:00.
My dad's orders.
lt's unlocked.
Maki!
What your dad confided in you...
...was the wrong item.
He needs that badly.
Can you give it back?
So, that's it.
K...
Or shall l call you Dr. Kimiko Kujo.
The appointed time is noon.
You seem to have found out my name.
Then, l want you to show your face.
Watari was very proud of you.
l'm sure he still feels that way.
Don't think he can save you.
He has his weak points, too.
Some things can't be solved up here.
Let me go.
Let me go.
Maki.
What the hell...
Murderer!
l saw it all.
You should bleed
and die like my dad.
lndeed, that is my weak point.
Let me go. You'll be infected.
Let me go.
Let me go.
Hey.
Let me go.
l'll kill her.
l'll kill her with the virus.
Let me go.
Agent Suruga, F.B.l.
With Watari gone, we'll protect you.
That's encouraging.
This way.
No.
The Countermeasure
Transfer Room is in here.
What in the world is this?
Crepe...
Please drive.
Didn't the girl have the virus?
What happened to the antidote data?
Don't tell me it doesn't exist.
What's our next move?
You're the developer.
We can make the virus.
But it's useless without the antidote.
You're right.
He's ahead of us.
Shut down all L's access
from the outside.
Yes, ma'am.
l can kill anyone l want now...
Do you think your dad
sent you to Watari for that purpose?
Dad is...Dad is dead.
You know
this Watari person, don't you?
Yes.
l am L.
L...
They call themselves ''Blue Ship''
an environmental group.
That man with a scar is an extremist
using that as his cover.
But K is not a group member.
Mr. Suruga.
What?
Turn left 30 meters ahead.
We're getting out.
30 meters...
Over here.
Here?
Let's go.
Let's meet here two hours from now.
Drive on as fast as you like.
That means...
Am l a decoy?
Damn! They're persistent.
What the hell are you doing?
This is a one-way street. Stop.
What're you doing?
l told you to stop, you bastard.
l said it's a one-way street. Stop.
Let me through. F.B.l. business.
So what? Get out.
You're Japanese, aren't you?
l'm F.B.l.
You're Japanese. You can't fool me.
Welcome, master.
Sorry l kept you waiting.
Please enjoy, master.
He's strange.
Easy to call him that.
They're Fibonacci Numbers.
He's a mathematical genius.
He's F's...
A gift Watari left me.
By the way,
the virus you had seems to be...
...a fake.
That's impossible.
Your dad was infected
right after contact.
Your body temperature shows no change.
Body temperature?
That might be the reason.
Maki received an injection
every 10 days.
Dad didn't tell me
what the injection was.
You're saying the virus is restrained
because of the injection.
lt can't be anything else.
Does it mean Maki's body has both
the virus and the hint on how
to restrain the virus?
lt's that much more important to get her.
- You go too.
- Wait. Let's change our plan.
We don't have much time.
lt seems we don't have much time.
Don't worry about it.
l, too, need to settle this in six days.
Did she inject the virus herself?
Yes, she did.
Don't worry. ln the dormant stage...
no virus will be a threat.
l see...
But before the virus...
...takes effect,
we need to travel a bit far.
With her?
lf the virus awakens,
we'll be infected first.
We probably will.
''L. Lawliet - Will peacefully die
of a heart failure 23 days later.''
Perhaps it won't be
as ''peacefully'' as l hoped.
Leave the rest to the F.B.l.
Thank you. ln that case, Mr. Suruga...
l need a favor.
Anything for you.
Damn.
Made me a decoy again.
Where're we going?
To a man named Kouichi Matsudo.
Professor Matsudo?
l've met him before.
But how do you know him?
When l looked at the book on the
lnfectious Disease Center, he and...
...your dad were listed as co-writers.
KOUlCHl MATSUDO KlMlHlKO NlKAlDO
We interrupt this program
for emergency news.
girl infected by a dangerous virus...
...has escaped from a hospital.
We have Dr. Kujo of
the lnfectious Disease Center here.
Dr. Kujo, what kind of a virus is this?
This virus is extremely infectious and...
...there is no effective vaccine yet.
lf symptoms appear,
recovery is impossible.
l can say the virus is lethal.
This is Maki Nikaido, who is currently missing.
''THE GlRL lNFECTED BY A DANGEROUS VlRUS''
She is 1 2 years old
and goes to a school in Saitama.
lmpossible.
She was last seen
wearing a navy blue school uniform.
Let's get off.
Can't use public transport anymore.
girl infected by a lethal virus
got off the train at this station.
The virus could be airborne.
We are undertaking an infection test.
Please cooperate to prevent
the virus from spreading.
Please. We need your cooperation.
We are looking for this girl.
''Witness reports on
the girl infected by the virus''
Approximately 30,000.
We need some time to verify them.
L.
l'm really tired, L.
Suruga, have you...
recovered the Death Note yet?
L and l are moving separately now.
Separately? What do you mean?
To gain L 's trust.
Why move separately for that?
But l promise to accomplish my mission.
5 DAYS LEFYou bastard.
Moving around
with a person infected with the virus?
lt's common sense
to avoid densely populated areas.
What if the symptoms appeared?
Not just Maki, but everybody
around her will be affected.
Hey.
Are you listening?
Absolutely irresponsible.
What is it?
Quarantine me.
Have the symptoms...?
You're all right.
You must've run through the woods.
lt's a tick bite.
Come with me.
What do you plan to do?
Maki is very scared.
That's why we need someone
who can make the antidote.
l can't.
Professor Nikaido could, though.
l'm...
l'm scared.
The vaccine l developed killed people.
So, l'm scared.
There are lives l have sacrificed, too.
But now, l can't...
...abandon the life before me.
Hi, Mr. Noda.
Oh, hi, Professor Matsudo.
''DO NOT PASS WlTHOUT PERMlSSlON''
l'll be using the lab again.
l hope you have
permission from the professor?
4 DAYS LEF3 DAYS LEFFind out anything?
lts energy source is sugar.
lt likes sugar, but not fruit sugar.
Sugar?
Maki has low blood sugar.
The virus probably
isn't active inside her
because of that.
Not because of her dad's injection?
The injection was
probably for her low blood sugar.
Does determining the energy source
help in developing the antidote?
No.
Destroying the sugar
in the body will kill the virus...
...but that would stop body activity.
What?
Please be quiet for a while.
What is that?
M...K.
So, what is it?
lt's a code.
That's the homework my dad gave me.
lt's a message from Professor Nikaido.
What could MK mean?
Tell me if any word
draws your attention.
That's it.
Midkine may be
able to suppress the virus.
So that's what it is.
lt's a protein,
which creates and breeds cells.
Restores broken cells and
stops cancer from progressing.
Restores nerve cells, so it may be
a wonder drug for Alzheimer.
ls it possible
to artificially synthesize Midkine?
Yes, with unlimited
research funding and five years.
Five years...
But l'll think of some way to do that.
For example...
...Midkine is abundant in a fetus.
lt has to be a fetus.
He's a survivor of the village
destroyed by that virus.
Really?!
He was examined, but not for...
...MK proteins.
Let me take some of your blood.
Ah, this feels good.
There will be a series
of tests from tomorrow.
l know that.
C'mon. Let's eat.
Wait.
Let's eat.
Let's eat.
Why do you only eat sweets?
Sugar is an essential energy source
of the brain and...
Eating too much is bad.
You'll die.
You may be right.
You should...
....straighten your back, too.
l'm going to the bathroom.
Maki.
Thanks for the call.
l'll kill you.
Can't kill you
when the antidote is made.
l'll kill you before that.
Sorry. l broke
my promise to come alone.
You coward!
They're looking for the reason
why Maki doesn't show symptoms.
To develop the antidote.
No, Dr. Kujo's aware...
...Maki's symptoms can appear
at any moment now.
Then, why take Maki?
Maki is a perfect vessel
for secretly carrying the virus.
Please continue to
work on the antidote.
We'll need a lot of it.
Wait a minute.
ls it finished?
Hasn't been tested yet.
You're incredible.
l'll get to work...
...and make as much as l can.
Please do so.
l didn't expect a child
to stake her life for revenge.
Her dad was killed before her eyes.
Can't blame her.
You may be right.
lf Kujo is escaping from Japan?
...does that mean
they've developed the antidote?
No. By taking Maki...
...she is deceiving the Blue Ship members
into thinking the antidote is completed.
How does Kujo
intend to scatter the virus?
They could disguise as an emergency
patient and medical staff.
They could easily board a plane.
Then, hijack the plane.
To where?
Probably to the U.S.
To the U.S.?
Matoba may have chosen the destination.
As you said, Matoba uses
the ecology group as his front.
Matoba has no principles, just greed.
People with greed will head for
the most profitable country.
2 DAYS LEFPlease.
JNA flight 204, right?
Attending personnel
are Dr. Kimiko Kujo...
And myself, Daisuke Matoba.
Let me see the papers.
ls she Mayumi Honda?
Yes.
l hope her surgery goes well.
Good morning.
Thank you for boarding JNA flight 204.
l burned the Death Note.
l no longer have it.
l'm sorry l couldn't help your mission.
l see...
But l...
L.
l want to help you.
Good morning, passengers.
This is your captain, Saito.
We are ready to take off...
...but have just received...
...a report from the control tower.
suspicious vehicle is on the runway.
We have been requested to remain
on standby at this location.
We will inform you
of any further developments.
Thank you for your cooperation.
What're you doing?
Move.
Get out of my way.
Anything wrong?
Don't move.
What's going on?
We only take action once above the U.S.
Don't be so rigid.
Change of plan.
We'll be safe, right?
You'll soon find out.
What do you mean?
Didn't we have an injection?
l didn't make any antidote.
You tricked us?
A buyer's paying $10 million
for the virus and the antidote.
Your true aim.
Wait a minute. We'll all die.
lf you're gonna die, die alone.
We'll all die.
l don't wanna die. Help me.
Dr. Kujo, help me. Help me.
Help me...
Captain.
Oh, no. The girl on TV
is on this plane.
What's wrong?
All right?
Be quiet.
Earth is finished anyway.
Take off.
Finished...Damn.
So, we're finished.
Don't move.
Stop it.
lt's moving.
Hey, hang on.
Don't mind them.
lt's merely a minor sacrifice
for a big purpose.
No.
Whatever the reason may be...
...murder is always a bad thing.
Too bad. lt's too late now.
lt's not too late.
The antidote.
We've succeeded.
We can save them all.
lnject this to everyone.
You've done enough damage.
We don't need that.
This girl and
everyone else here will die.
Like she said, we'll all die.
Mankind, which destroys environment
and wages war, should die.
A correct ecosystem will save the world.
ls this what Watari hoped for?
He said: ''Make the world better.''
So, destroy mankind.
You must take over this plan.
l decline.
Mankind must have
the power to change the future.
lt's too late.
The plane will fly. Everybody dies,
and the virus will spread.
No.
The magnetic wave of this
is enough to crash the plane.
The virus will fall into the sea
and become harmless.
lt's checkmate.
lf you're alive,
you can start over.
No one has the right to take that away.
Start over...
l signed a contract with Death,
l'll die in two days.
Death...
You must live on.
lt's Watari's wish.
Give everyone injections.
Are you all right?
There's enough antidote for everyone.
Hurry. Take these.
What will you do?
l'll forgive.
lt'll be okay.
You're a good girl. l believed in you.
ll is under control.
Please board the bus.
Please board the bus in order.
lt has been an honor to work...
...under the command of the legendary L.
l was not in command.
Mr. Suruga, l'm glad l trusted you.
Thank you very much.
l still have two more days.

Maki, welcome home.
Did you have a good day?
Yes.
The five days were good.
Maki, welcome home.
Make tomorrow a good day, too.
Same to you.

Yes.
There is one thing
