Death Note (Anime Series) (2007) s01e18 Episode Script

Episode 18

Within the spreading darkness I pledged a vow to the revolution I can't let anybody interrupt it I'm going to change The future that the forbidden fruit foretells I'm going to change the dream into reality The ending that everybody wants.
Within the spreading darkness I pledged our vow to the revolution I can't let anybody interrupt it Someday I'll show you A bright and ideal world.
Oh yeah! I gotta take off this belt.
Huh? Again? He'll just have to get used to our security system.
Enough! How's this?! Good morning! What happened to your forehead? Ohthis? Well, I had a fight with my wife and my kid is still small, so it looks like I'll be commuting.
Yeah.
You should live at home.
What a waste These rooms are amazing.
You should move here with your whole family.
Don't lump me together with a carefree bachelor like you.
Where's Ryuzaki? He's on a date, the three of them are in Misa-Misa's room.
Surveillance cameras, huh? Well, I guess it can't be helped since we believe that Amane might be involved with second Kira And Matsuda, stop calling her Misa-Misa! Ohyes.
Heythis doesn't feel like a date.
Pay no attention to me Anyway, are you going to eat that piece of cake? Sweets are fattening, so I try not to eat them too much.
If you use your head, you can still eat sweets without gaining weight.
Hey! You're making fun of me again! I'll give you the cake.
Then will you leave me alone with Light? Even if I leave you two alone, I'll be watching with the surveillance cameras.
It's the same thing.
You pervert! Will you stop doing these sick things? Call me whatever you like.
I'm taking your cake.
Fine! I'll just close the curtains and turn off the lights.
We also have infrared cameras.
Changing the subject Despite moving into fully equipped headquarters, you don't seem very enthusiastic, Ryuzaki.
Enthusiasm, huh? I don't have any Actually, I'm kind of depressed.
Depressed? All this time I thought that you were Kira I'm just shocked that my deduction was wrong.
But, I'm still suspicious of you, hence these.
Kira can control people's actions In other words, Kira was controlling you to make me suspect that you were Kira.
You and Misa were both controlled by Kira.
When I think about that, everything matches up By that reasoning, Misa and I were controlled, but doesn't that still mean that we're Kira? Yes, I don't think I'm wrong about that.
You're both Kira.
I think that when you were confined, you were Kira.
And while you were confined, criminals stopped dying.
You were Kira until then, so it works out.
But after two weeks, Kira Returns criminals began dying again.
Based on that evidence, I think Kira's power can pass from person to person.
That's an interesting idea.
But if that's true, it won't be easy to catch Kira.
Yes.
That's why I'm at a loss.
Even if we catch those under Kira's control, Kira's powers will be passed on to others and the former will have no memory of their actions.
Which means that it's useless to catch anyone But that hasn't been decided yet, right? Cheer up.
Cheer up? I can't.
No, it's better to not try so hard.
Our lives will be in danger if we desperately try to chase him.
Don't you think so? That hurt.
Stop messing around.
You don't feel like doing anything just because I wasn't Kira and because your deduction was wrong? I may have phrased it wrong.
I meant it would be a waste for us to make a move, so we shouldn't There's no way we can catch him if we don't chase him! Do you know how many innocent people you've involved in this case?! Besides that, you're the one who confined Misa and me! I know But whatever the reason An eye for an eye.
It's not that my deduction was wrong.
The fact is, the case isn't going to be solved simply as "Light Yagami is Kira" and "Misa Amane is the Second Kira.
" So I was a bit depressed.
I'm human.
Am I not allowed to feel like that? No, it's not.
The way you talk it's as if you won't be satisfied unless I'm Kira.
I won't be satisfied unless you're Kira? That may be true I just realized I wanted you to be Kira.
An eyefor an eye.
I'll have you know I'm pretty strong.
Let's call the room and stop them! Yes? Please listen, Ryuzaki, Misa-Misa is number one in Eighteen Magazine's reader popularity poll! Yes, I see That means that it's been decided that she'll be starring as the heroine in the next film by the director, Nishinaka! What's wrong? Matsuda's acting stupid again.
Well, Matsuda is a natural at that.
I can hear you Two months later Ryuzaki, I know you're not feeling up to it, but come over here for a second.
Take a good look at this.
Isn't it unbalanced? All three of them were prominent Japanese businessmen.
They all died of heart attacks.
As a result, Yotsuba's stock prices rose and those of other companies dropped.
In other words, they are deaths that are in Yotsuba's favor Checking back, there've been as many as thirteen such cases in the past three months.
I can only conclude that Kira is supporting Yotsuba.
Yes But if that's true, then punishing criminals is not this Kira's true intent.
Yeah.
He's punishing criminals as a front and killing people for the benefit of his company.
What do you think? Do you feel a little more enthusiastic now? It's amusing how well this has gone, without anyone suspecting us.
Yotsuba's benefits and stock prices have been increasing slowly, but steadily.
Yeah.
It's all proceeding according to our calculations.
I'm just worried about one thing.
Why did the three people we decided to kill last week die of heart attacks? I thought we decided that one of them was going to die from an accident? That was probably because we chose the accident to occur on the Coastal Bay Route.
At the appointed time, he wasn't at his home, but had snuck off to Italy with a woman.
In other words, if the request is impossible Kira kills the person by heart attack.
It's like I told you last week.
If you request only accidental deaths and death by disease, they're finished in a natural way in the shortest amount of time.
Anyway, the police should be too busy investigating the deaths of criminals.
If someone could trace the deaths of those others back to us, he would be a god.
Besides, we've already taken precautions.
Chief! Oh, you too, Mogi! Great job! It's amazing! With Light's help, the theory that Kira is involved with the Yotsuba Group has become stronger.
Yotsuba? Yes That's probably the case, Matsuda.
Huh? We just heard from the Director that Kira's offered bribes to politicians.
Kira said As long as the police don't chase him he won't lay a hand on any politician.
The police caved in to Kira.
Huh?! Mogi has already made up his mind, but Aizawa, Matsuda if you really still want to pursue Kira, then turn in your letters of resignation to the NPA with Mogi and me.
We cannot pursue Kira anymore unless you quit the police force.
What do you mean?! It's simple.
We were told that we would be fired if we were to pursue Kira with L.
So then, Chief, you really In a few hours, I'm no longer going to be your chief.
But you all have your own lives.
Please think hard before you make your decision.
That's right.
Especially those who are married and have children.
I think you all should remain police officers.
I was alone to begin with and I'm grateful to all of you for sticking with me this far.
But I can do this by myself.
I'll be sure to visit you all at the police department and bring you Kira's head as a gift.
Ryuzaki! As long as I'm here, you won't be alone.
You have my promise! That's right.
I'll have Light working with me until I catch Kira.
But everyone else should remain police officers But you told us that you needed the help of the police in this case.
That's because the police as an organization, didn't bow to Kira and hoped to arrest him.
I don't really think the help of two or three civilians who quit the police force can really count as the police.
Also, the police have decided that they don't want to catch Kira, so that's enough.
It's true we wouldn't be of much help not being police officers.
But what about our feelings? We've risked our lives to catch Kira.
We at least have the right to decide whether we stay here or remain police officers! I suppose you're right Then decide which you want to do.
But Chief, if you quit the police force, you'll be unemployed.
Even if we catch Kira, what are you going to do afterwards? Afterwards, huh? I haven't thought about it, but after we catch Kira I guess I'll be looking for a job again.
I've decided! I'm also going to quit the police and chase Kira! I still have to do my job as Misa-Misa's manager! Besides, if I remained a police officer, I'd feel like a loser Watch what you say, Matsuda.
How about if I remained a police officer and helped you in my spare time? That's no good.
If you remain a police officer, please don't come back here.
I won't leak information I won't give you any information.
As detectives, you are free to chase Kira.
But I don't think it's right to give up your livelihoods and harm your families just to chase Kira.
It's as Ryuzaki says.
No one will blame you if you quit now.
That's right.
No one will think of you as a traitor! But, Chief You have a family, too Our situations are different.
That's not fair.
I want to stay here, too.
I was prepared to die at any time.
And if I quit here, how will I face Ukita Damn! Why can't a detective working for the police chase Kira?! Ryuzaki.
In case anything happened to a member of the task force, even if they were fired, you entrusted me to make preparations so that financial support would be offered to their families, so that they would never be in need for the rest of their lives.
Why aren't you telling them that? Watch what you say, Watari.
I'm sorry.
Oh, so our livelihood was secured? Aren't you glad, Aizawa?! Ryuzaki Were you watching to see if I would quit the police to join you? It's not like that, Aizawa.
Ryuzaki just doesn't like to say things like that himself.
That's right.
No.
I was testing you.
I was watching to see which you would choose.
Ryuzaki All right! I'll quit and remain a police officer! Aizawa! I couldn't make a decision quickly like you all and I was leaning towards staying a police officer.
Don't be so stubborn.
No! I quit! It's become clear to me once more! I hate Ryuzaki! I hate the way Ryuzaki does everything! But I like people like you.
I also just can't stand how he can say things like this so shamelessly! I quit! Thank you very much for your hard work.
I found another.
The branch manager of Yotsuba's biggest rival bank, died on September 7th when he slipped on the steps of his home.
September 7th was a Friday I checked once more and discovered that the deaths that are beneficial to Yotsuba are concentrated around the weekend.
Huh? Really?! At first, the times of death were random but gradually, they became concentrated around Friday nights through Saturday afternoons.
It's amazing you noticed that, Chief! I told you, I'm no longer the Chief.
No, you'll always be the Chief to me! This should be some sort of hint, Dad.
I haven't lost to you and Ryuzaki yet.
I don't want to be dead weight.
Is Kira someone from Yotsuba? Or is Kira using Yotsuba? I haven't figured that out yet, but let's investigate this with the assumption that this is Kira's doing.
Let's thoroughly investigate Yotsuba! I've compiled a list of all domestic employees in the Yotsuba Group.
Thank you very much.
I'm surprised you compiled the list so quickly That's amazing, Mr.
Mogi.
Mr.
Mogi's been amazing from the beginning.
Ryuzaki! Is there anything I can do besides being a manager? You want to be useful? Yes! Then could you get me another cup of coffee? What? And for our guests over there.
Who are they-? When did they get in-? They are our new members.
I'm Aiber.
A con-man.
Pleased to meet you.
Wedy.
I'm a thief by trade.
A con-man and a thief? Yes.
Aiber has excellent social skills.
He's a con-man who can cozy up to our target.
We'll use him for infiltrative investigations.
Wedy is a thief who can crack any lock, safe, or security system.
As proof, she entered without any of us noticing.
We're going to be working together with criminals? They're criminals, but not the type who will surface and be killed by Kira.
Think of them as pros of the underworld.
I see.
If we want to investigate Yotsuba, we need people like them.
Let's all work together and give it our best! Yeah! Uh, yes.
Daddy! Yumi Eriko What are you doing here? At least tell me if you're coming home.
I haven't bought enough for your dinner.
I'll give you half of my croquette-! Sorry.
I haven't had a break for quite a while now, so I got some time off.
Huh? Is a "time off" a break? Yeah.
That's what it is.
All right! From now on, I can have a break every week.
So I can take you to this park no, the zoo or even the amusement park What's wrong? Mama, Daddy is crying I dreamed a dream that no one could see, I threw away everything that I didn't need I'm holding these feelings that I can't give up in my heart Even if my feet fall victim to the shackles of sacrifice In between reality and my ideal I can't hold back the flooding impulses Because I have a strong desire to accomplish [deceit.]
[fear.]
[vanity.]
[melancholy.]
I'm not weak enough to believe any of these negative perceptions I'm a trickster who doesn't know solitude A confidential meeting? It sounds like they have one every Friday night.
All right! I'm on it today!
