Uh, just fell asleep on my desk.

I just got a call.

Our friend Antony Skomal is no more.

Impaled himself on a steak knife

in the middle of a restaurant.

-Holy sh*t.

-[chuckles] Yeah.

You seem happy.

Probably shouldn't be, but yeah, I am.

Your mom...

she always was kind of a hippy.

And we didn't see eye to eye

on everything.

She was damn sure right about one thing.

Karma's a b*tch.

Sorry about what I said... you know.

Love you, son.

I love you, too.

[cackles]

-[whistle trills]

-[low chatter on court]

-[man 1] Go, go!

-[man 2] Yeah! Watch your feet!

[girl] You in mourning?

In... Uh, what?

Our friend Kenny.

Oh, yeah.

It's terrible what happened to Kenny.

You don't have to lie to me.

Kenny was a sociopath,

and just because he's dead

does not make it a tragedy.

-Right.

-I just wish I'd seen it.

I heard his head spun all the way around.

Actually, his head exploded

into a million pieces.

-In case you're wondering.

-You saw it?

Mm-hmm.

-I'm Mia.

-Oh, hi.

I know that you're Mia, actually.

I already knew that.

I know that you're Light Turner.

I already knew that.

Yeah.

You knew that I'm... You know my name?

So are you gonna tell me what you saw,

Light Turner?

Why did you get me put into detention?

I'm sorry.

I, uh... thought you could use

some medical attention

and I wasn't aware of the fact

that you were carrying around

a stockpile of illegal papers

in your backpack.

Is that one of them?

Hmm? Oh, no.

"Death Note"? What is it?

-What is what?

-Your book.

Uh, I can't tell you.

-Okay.

-Do you really want to know?

-Sure.

-Okay, then I'll tell you. I just...

Follow me.

Please tell me

this isn't your poetry journal.

When you see him, try not to freak out.

I freaked out a little.

See... who?

Behind you.

It's okay.

What are you talking about?

[Ryuk]

Only the keeper of the note can see me.

"The human whose name

is written in this note... shall die."

-Your poetry sucks.

-It's not poetry.

Um, will you just read the last entry?

"Kenny Doyle decapitation"?

I have, and...

I'm gonna sound crazy,

but I have a death god.

[laughs]

-I'm gonna get out of here.

-No. No, don't go. Trust me.

You of all people

are gonna want to see this.

[female reporter]

Authorities received a 911 call...

[Light] Okay, we can work with that.

...overheard a violent argument between

Mr. Brode and his ex-wife earlier today.

[male reporter] Things escalated,

as several gunshots were also heard,

and the situation is still unfolding.

Authorities are standing by.

Seattle police and Seattle SWAT trying

to de-escalate the situation.

[female reporter] This is live coverage

of the hostage situation.
