'We are interrupting this program to bring you a live, globally televised broadcast from Interpol... with Japanese voice-over by interpreter Yoshio Anderson.
I am Lind L Taylor, more commonly known as "L" - the sole person able to mobilise police in every country worldwide.'
Light stares at the television. He'd expected people would start notice the criminals were being killed; in fact he'd purposefully left it that way. People should know that divine justice would prevail.
'Criminals have been the target of a killing spree, which has turned into the biggest mass murder in history. This monstrous crime must be stopped at all costs. "Kira", as the perpetrator is known, will be caught, I guarentee it.'
Light laughs. This guy's an idiot, his name and face are right there in broad view. Ryuk sniggers in the background.
"Moron! Like hell I'll be caught. I've got the Death Note, see? Without this notebook, you'll never have proof - none. There's no way you can catch me.
Hmph, I was so ready for the police, this guy... I knew this would happen."
'Kira. I think I have a pretty good idea of why you're doing this. But what you are doing...is evil!!'
Light's amusement turns to rage. How dare this man claim he is evil? He's doing the world a favour, ridding it of all that is evil! This guy is trying to stop him from saving the world. Lind L Taylor is evil!
He scrawls the name over the Death Note, then watches in satisfaction as forty seconds later he keels over and dies.
'I...I don't believe it... this was an experiment, to test a hunch I had, but I never really thought... Kira, you can actually kill people without direct contact. So my hunch was right, I couldn't believe it until I saw it with my own eyes, but you can... You'd have to of course, it wouldn't make sense otherwise.
Listen to me Kira. If you just killed Lind L Taylor, the man you saw on your TV, he was a condemned criminal scheduled to die today at this hour. His arrest and conviction were kept secret from the media, and went unreported even on the internet. Even you had no way of knowing about him, it seems... but I L do in fact exist.
So come on! Kill me if you can!!'
Light stares helplessly at the television. No name, no face, no kill. Damn L!
'Evidently you aren't able to kill me. Now I'll give you some information in return.
Although it was announced that this was being televised globally, actually it was broadcast only in the Kanto region around Tokyo. The plan was to broadcast to other areas in turn, but that's no longer necessary. You are in the Kanto region of Japan, Kira.'
Light stares speechlessly as L cites off more evidence he has on him.
